i started in brooklyn

comin up in the game

everybody has a story mine wasn't the same

angela

delinquent

i thought i was grown

i went through a lot things way before i was known

see my moms

she never knew i would make it all start

she was through with the bad grades

the late nights in the park

causin my mom pain

my life was in the dirt

i played hooky all day while she was hard at work

sorry ma

know it was hard and my pops was a jerk

she packed her shit and got us out of there before it got worse

moved the fam to miami in hopes of changin my ways

a big portion of my mind still remained in a daze

it wasn't 'til we came back my life matured

success would be the only thing that i was fightin for

i was determined to get there

and keep it hot

since that day my only goal was to reach the top

to every little girl

on every block

that's comin of age tryin to reach the top

i said no matter who you are

you can reach the stars

but never forget

how fragile you are

cause a girl is fragile

it's crazy

when i think back

sometimes i have to cry

cause when you young

you don't see how life can pass you by

you don't even really care if you gon' starve or not

this go back to ninety-three when i got the job at hot

i used to answer the phones for flex

do overnight spurts

back then

i was like

hey who knows? it might work"
