text: You know very well
  Who you are
  Dont let them hold you down
  Reach up for the stars
  If you have that goal
  But not that many
  Cause youre the only one
  That gives you good and plenty
  Well it was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine
  Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
  Hangin pictures on my wall
  Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
  I let my tape rock til my tape popped
  Smoking on Bambu, sippin on Private Stock
  Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
  With the hat to match
  Remember Rappin Duke? Duh-ha, duh-ha
  You never thought that hip hop would take it this far
  Now Im in the limelight cause I rhyme tight
  Time to get paid
  Yes god bless the World Trade
  Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
  Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
  Peace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri
  Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski
  Blowing up like you thought I would
  Call the crib, same number, same hood
  Its all good, its all so good
  And if you dont know, now you know, you know
  You know very well
  Who you are
  Dont let them hold you down
  Reach up for the stars
  If you have that goal
  But not that many
  Cause youre the only one
  That gives you good and plenty
  Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
  When I was dead broke, man, I couldnt picture this
  50 inch screen
  Money green leather sofa
  Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
  Phone bill about two Gs flat
  No need to worry, my accountant handles that
  And my whole crew is lounging
  Celebrating every day, no more public housing
  Thinking back on my one-room shack
  Now my mom pimps a Ac with minks on her back
  And she loves to show me off of course
  Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
  We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
  No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
  Birthdays was the worst days
  Now we sip champagne when we thirsty
  Dang right I like the life I live
  Cause I went from negative to positive
  And its all... so good
  If you dont know, now you know, you know, you know
  You know very well
  Who you are
  Dont let them hold you down
  Reach up for the stars
  If you have that goal
  But not that many
  Cause youre the only one
  That gives you good and plenty
  You know very well
  Who you are
  Dont let them hold you down
  Reach up for the stars
  If you have that goal
  But not that many
  Cause youre the only one
  That will give you
  You know very well
  Who you are
  Dont let them hold you down
  Reach up for the stars
  If you have that goal
  But not that many
  Cause youre the only one
  If you dont know, now you know
