Rest in peace B.I.G. {Oh...oh...}

Lets pay our respects to Hip-Hop {Yeah...yeah...}

Remember when I was in high school, yo

And when we used to play this track over and over

again

I would flip it down like this {Lets go}





It was all a dream, I used to read Vibe magazine

Puffy and Biggie up in the limousine

Hangin posters on my wall

Michael Jackson, Boyz II Men, New Edition, loved them

all

I let the CD flip till the CD skipped

Chasin girls, skippin school, actin crazy, bein

slick

Way back when I wore the Starter jacket and hat with

the Nikes to match

Remember Michael Jackson with the Hee hee

Who would thought this is where Next would be

Now we in the limelight cause weve seen life

Bout to get fame, more love since the World Trade

Born tender, the opposite of a winner

Member when we used to eat grilled cheese for dinner

Peace to Jagged Edge, 112, Jodeci

Troop, hear Boyz II Men, cant forget N.E.

We blowin up like we prayed we would

Catch me in a Benz in the same hood, its all good

{Its all good}

And if you dont know now you know {Damn}





You know very well who we are (You know)

Wont let em hold us down, reach for the stars

(Ho...)

You had a goal, but not that many

Cause youre the only one, Ill give you good and

plenty





We made the change from a common group

To doin big thangs over Kaygee loops

And we far from average even though many years could

manage, huh

We kept stackin the cabbage

Benatori had us pissy, girls used to diss me

Now they write letter cause they miss me

Never thought it could happen this singin stuff

Now they see me, Im displayin, bruh

Honeys play folks like butter play toast

From Minnesota back to the east coast

Condos in LA, my W suites

Sold out seats to hear N-E-X-T {Holla}

Livin life without fear

Stuffin hundreds baby comers hair

Lunches, brunches, interviews up at J

Everybody wanted to play, I wanted to sing

Everyone laughed at me in the hood, but its still all

good {Its all good}

And if you dont know now you know





You know very well who we are (Yall know who you are)

Wont let em hold us down (Yeah), reach for the stars

You had a goal, but not that many (Uh)

Cause youre the only one, Ill give you good and

plenty (Lets go)





This here is for the technicians (Technicians)

This here is for the mix shows (Mix shows)

This here is for the DJs

On the radio rockin every day (Thank you)





This here is for the house parties (Yeah)

This here is for the clubs

This here is for everybody

This here is for the love (Its for all yall)





Next (Yeah, Rayne)

Divine Mill (Yeah, yo Mich, you think they gon feel

this one?)

Fo sure

Uh-huh (Lets get outta here)

Be out, be out (Holla, yeah, uh)





Keepin it juicy
