Success Songtext
von Big Rich

Another day in sunny California
Money in the air, I can smell the aroma
Back home briefly, my fam greets me
At the airport, my kids scream when they see me
Dad′s home, brought a few stacks home
We gon' go shoppin′, sorry daddy been gone for that long
I been on the road reminiscin' 'bout my ladies lips and
How I really miss them, how I love to kiss them
Made it to the house, she cooked me a meal

Real woman know how to make a real nigga feel
Life′s good, well that′s what I thought

Got a call from Capo, said we need to talk
Meet him at the spot, he said the phone's hot
So I hung it up, we been talkin′ long enough

Left out the house with no hesitation
Got there, he talkin' ′bout a fed investigation
I'm sayin′


Somebody always told me that
When you young and gettin' money everybody is plottin'
My nigga always told me that
That them boys is watchin′ and they will come knockin′
When they come and they tryin' to
Try to take a nigga away, take me away
But I can′t give 'em a fuck less
′Cause this is what comes with success

My mind higher than the Empire State, thinkin' bigger
Plus I got my nine on my waist with itchy fingers
Niggas take my life today if they catch me slippin′
But they never take me away, I'm on this gangsta mission
Used to be down for me then they switched tails on me
But, got some angels in the sky lookin' down on me
Oh, damn I miss ′em, when they was alive it was different
These niggas in disguise don′t deserve to be livin'
On the curb no more pitchin′, it's herbs that be snitchin′

Niggas gettin' smacked and young goons won′t listen
Blame it on the system, only time we mentioned on the news
Another young nigga got the blues
I been rappin' since "Hella Me Bad" was on the tube
Only friend I ever had was my dad, kept it true
I remember when these niggas used to eat my momma food
Same niggas wanna kill me, what the fuck am I to do?
I'm sayin′


Somebody always told me that
When you young and gettin′ money everybody is plottin'
My nigga always told me that
That them boys is watchin′ and they will come knockin'
When they come and they tryin′ to
Try to take a nigga away, take me away
But I can't give ′em a fuck less
'Cause this is what comes with success

It was all good just a week ago
I was on stage rockin' shows, gettin′ stupid dough

Somethin′ like a movie yo, niggas ain't gon′ move me though
Try to live the gangsta paradise like Coolio

Eyes open, gun cocked, just in case the drum'll pop
Heard the boys lookin′ for me, tucked at my momma spot

Somebody at the door, might be the alphabets
Might be the goons, assassinate me like I'm Malcolm X
See me on TV, them niggas like, "He rich now

We gon′ catch his ass slippin', make his ass get down
Ain't he big in uptown? Don′t he be with (shhh)
Seen the nigga the other day, he can′t say what's up now?"
It′s like a catch 22
I'm fucked if I don′t, I'm fucked if I do
So fuck it, I′ma just keep gettin' money
If it's motherfuck me, it′s motherfuck you
I′m sayin'

Somebody always told me that
When you young and gettin′ money everybody is plottin'
My nigga always told me that
That them boys is watchin′ and they will come knockin'
When they come and they tryin′ to
Try to take a nigga away, take me away
But I can't give 'em a fuck less
′Cause this is what comes with success
