The Notorious B.I.G. - Sky's The Limit lyrics

[Intro] [Mother: Voletta Wallace] Baby, look at me, Mama love you And I know you ain't no little boy no more But you'll always be my baby It seems like only yesterday I was holding you in my arms Now look at you now big, but I worry about you I worry about you all the time, hangin' out on the corner All times at night with the cruel people Baby, that ain't nothin' but trouble I always taught you that you could have whatever you dream Well, I want you to hold on to that dream, baby Hold on to it real tight, ‘cause the sky's the limit [The Notorious B.I.G.] Good evening, ladies and gentlemen How's everybody doing tonight? I'd like to welcome to the stage The lyrically acclaimed I like this young man, because when he came out He came out with the phrase He went from ashy to cla**y – I like that So everybody in the house Give a warm round of applause for the Notorious B.I.G The Notorious B.I.G Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for him y'all! [Verse 1: The Notorious B.I.G.] A n***a never been as broke as me – I like that When I was young I had two pair of Lees, besides that The pin stripes and the gray The one I wore on Mondays and Wednesdays While n***as flirt I'm sewing tigers on my shirts, and alligators You want to see the inside, I see you later Here comes the drama, oh That's that n***a with the fake, blaow Why you punch me in my face? Stay in your place Play your position, here come my intuition Go in this n***a pocket, rob him while his friends watchin' And hoes clockin', here comes respect His crew's your crew or they might be next Look at they man eye, big man, they never try So we rolled with them, stole with them I mean loyalty, n***as bought me milks at lunch The milks was chocolate, the cookies, bu*ter crunch 88 Oshkosh and blue and white dunks; pa** the blunts!
