[Intro]
This is for all the teachers that used to kick me out of class when I was falling asleep
They knew I was out all night trapping trying to feed my daughter
[Verse 1: Thi'sl]
It was all a dream
I used to read The Source magazine
Watching Biggie and P Diddy on the TV Screen
Thinking that could be me
But all I gotta do is make it out of the streets
I've got a pack on me right now
Po-po hit the block to pat down
Now I'm headed into lock down
I'm just tryin' make my momma proud
We in the ghetto tryin' to make it out
But don't too many of us make it out
We're still shooting, aim for the clouds
Hoping that we hear the stars falling down
The sky's the limit, what other reason for me living
Before we have cars, we still driven
[Refrain: Thi'sl]
That's why I do it for the blocks and the ghettos and every hood
To let em know dream big with faith
It's all good baby baby
[Chorus: Ashthon Jones]
Baby you know it's all good
Baby you know it's all good
It's bigger than I ever dreamed of
Baby you know it's all good
Baby you know it's all good
Yeah yeah
[Verse 2: Thi'sl]
I never thought this could happen, this rapping stuff
I was too used to moving packs and stuff
And birthdays were the worst days
That's what sent me running to the trap the first place
I remember hearing Dear Mama
I shed a tear for my dear mama
I saw the pain she went through
Because my daddy weren't there
Dry your eyes, it's all good mama
Running home for that first plate
Whatever month on the first day
And it wasn't just to get a meal
But I knew if I miss this, this will probably be my last plate
I'm just trying to make my city proud
This is for everybody tryin' to make it out
[Bridge: Thi'sl]
I made the change from a common thief
To getting myself together, getting up out of the streets
But I still spread love to my peeps in the hood all day
I can't help it, this is the Westside way
I made the change from a common thief
To getting myself together, getting up out of the streets
But I still spread love to my peeps in the hood all day
I can't help it, this is the way I was raised
And it's all good, baby baby
