This is for those who didn't believe

that me, myself they said I couldn't achieve

my goal or even get to my destiny

to be the S-K-B-I-Z

It was a rough road, for me to pursue a

career in rap to make you say hallelujah

For those who did, I'm not talkin to you

cause I couldn't be there with-out you

Everytime I see you they always say

I knew you was gonna make hits someday

But then when I was strugglin hard, word

a peep of help from them was never heard

I always knew that, I was gonna make it

No matter how much beef and aggravation I take it

And if you try to hold back me and my crew

Remember, I told you..

I told you..



I'ma give you one incedent from my past

when I had short money, goofy pants off my ass

I used to go to block parties my cousin had served

and see how people who made it, kicked OTHERs to the curb

And then I said if I was in their spotlight

I would treat everybody, equally right

To get where I'm at now, I used to hand out flyers

From school to school, for New York and L.I.ers

It was me and Mike from Ike and then they used to do it

He said if you wanna be like them you gotta keep to it

So I kept at it, cause it was hard work

I told em I was makin a record, they gave me a smirk

like if I was incapable of doin the deed

or virtually impossible for me to succeed

You must be crazy if I wouldn't pursue

Only thing that I can tell you is I told you..

I told you..



Now now now this is how it's endin

Just like any other story, it is splendid

I said to Ty if you let me come out with a cut

they will never ever stop shakin they butts

So I came out with "Make the Music With Your Mouth Biz"

An introduction to me, and told it like it is

Some said it was beginner's luck, with this record

Then I showed em with "Nobody Beats the Biz" and got respected

I threw em off with my song "Pickin Boogers"

It was acquired taste, for different kind of sugars

I got international like twin skyscrapers

with my album "Goin' Off" and my single "The Vapors"

Since I produced my own, they said it would end

cause it took a year and half to come out with "Just a Friend"

It went platinum, my album went gold

Altogether it was one point five records sold

So don't EVER try to hold back me and my crew

Only thing that I can say is, I told you..

I told you..



So when anybody try to, mess with your head

Just go for what you wanna go for in life, aight? Chill
