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
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 classy, 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!
Uh, a nigga 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 niggas 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 nigga 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 nigga 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 their man eye, big man, they never try
So we rolled with them, stole with them
I mean loyalty, niggas bought me milks at lunch
The milks was chocolate, the cookies, butter crunch
'88 Oshkosh and blue and white dunks, pass the blunts
Sky is the limit, and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressing on
Sky is the limit, and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Sky is the limit, and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressing on
Sky is the limit, and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Have what you want, be what you want
I was ashamed, my crew was lame
I had enough heart for most of them
Long as I got stuff from most of them
It's on, even when I was wrong, I got my point across
They depicted me the boss, of course
My orange box-cutter make the world go round
Plus I'm fucking, bitches ain't my home girls now
Start stacking, dabbled in crack, gun packing
Nickname Medina make the seniors tote my ninas
From gym class to Inglés pass off a global
The only nigga with a mobile, can't you see like Total
Getting larger in waists and tastes
Ain't no telling where this felon is headin', just in case
Keep a shell at the tip of your melon, clear the space
Your brain was a terrible thing to waste
'88 on gates, snatch initial name plates
Smokin' spliffs with niggas, real-life beginner killers
Praying to God forgive us for being sinners, help us out
Sky is the limit, and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressing on
Sky is the limit, and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Sky is the limit, and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressing on
Sky is the limit, and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Have what you want, be what you want
After realizin', to master enterprisin'
I ain't have to be in school by ten
I then began to encounter with my counterparts
On how to burn the block apart
Break it down into sections, drugs by the selections
Some use pipes, others use injections
Syringe sold separately, Frank the Deputy
Quick to grab my Smith & Wesson like my dick was missing
To protect my position, my corner, my lair
While we out here, say the Hustlers Prayer
"If the game shakes me or breaks me
I hope it makes me a better man, take a better stand"
Put money in my mom's hand
Get my daughter this college plan, so she don't need no man
Stay far from timid, only make moves when your heart's in it
And live the phrase, "Sky's the limit"
Motherfuckers, see you chumps on top
Sky is the limit, and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressing on
Sky is the limit, and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Sky is the limit, and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressing on
Sky is the limit, and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Sky is the limit, and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressing on
Sky is the limit, and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Sky is the limit, and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressing on
Sky is the limit, and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want (if you keep on pressing on)
Sky is the limit, and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressing on
Sky is the limit, and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
