Yeah, this song is dedicated to every doubter that told me I'd never amount to nothin'
To all the people, who put me down and made fun of me when I was just trying to go after something that I really wanted
and everybody with a dream, you know what I'm sayin'?
Uh-ha, it's all good baby bay-bee, uh
[Verse One:]
It was all a dream I used to read Billboard magazine Throwing parties now with my crew up in a limousine Drawing pictures for my wall Every Saturday a rap attack in the studio with Mars, uh I let my words rock 'til my voice shot Learning what I can do, spittin till after dark Way back, when I had the blue and black lumberjack With the hat to match Remember rappin' through, the hard the hard You never thought that hip hop would take it this far Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight Time to create, Blow up like my show dates Born sinner, the opposite of a winner Remember when I used to say "what if" at dinner Lines to record, just a kid with a dream Sold out seats to hear MattyB speak I'm blowin' up like you thought I would Call the crib, same number same hood It's all good
Uh, and if you don't know, now you know, playa, uh
[Chorus:]
You know very well who you are Don't let em hold you down, reach for the stars You had a goal, but not that many 'cause you're the only one so make it good and plenty
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis Would play up in my room but man I couldn't picture this Flyin from Atlanta to a city cross the coast (I) Got my crew, a limousine with a chauffeur Cool sneakers and a fresh snap back No need to worry, cause I just cut a new track And my whole crew is loungin' Celebratin' every day, cause the fans made it happen Thinkin' back to what rhymes with Matt Now my mom rocks a hat with my name on the back, uh And she loves to show me off, of course Smiles every time my face is up in Billboard We used to fuss when the industry dissed us No heat, no recognition, they missed us Felt played in the worst way Now my dad's phone rings like they thirsty ha Can't lie I like the life I live 'Cause I started as a kid just positive And it's all...
(It's all good)
and if you don't know, now you know playa. uh
[Chorus:]
You know very well who you are Don't let em hold you down, reach for the stars You had a goal, but not that many 'cause you're the only one so make it good and plenty
Representin' A-Town in the house, MattyB, mad flavor, uh
