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

Let's pay our respects to Hip-Hop {Yeah...yeah...}

Remember when I was in high school, yo'

And when we used to play this record over and over

again

I would flip it down like this {Let's 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 we sing right

‘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, can't forget N.E.

We blowin' up like we prayed we would

Catch me in a Benz in the same hood, it's all good

{It's all good}

And if you don't know now you know {Damn}





You know very well who we are (You know)

Won't let ‘em hold us down, reach for the stars

(Ho...)

You had a goal, but not that many

‘Cause you're the only one, I'll 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, I'm 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 in baby girl's brassiers

Lunches, brunches, interviews up at J

Everybody wanted to play, I wanted to sing

Everyone laughed at me in the hood, but it's still all

good {It's all good}

And if you don't know now you know





You know very well who we are (Y'all know who you are)

Won't let ‘em hold us down (Yeah), reach for the stars

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

‘Cause you're the only one, I'll give you good and

plenty (Let's go)





This here is for the mix tapes (Mix Tapes)

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 (It's for all y'all)





Next (Yeah, Rayne)

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

this one?)

Fo' sure

(So let's go just rock to the beat)

Uh-huh (Let's get outta here)

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





Keepin' it juicy
