[00:00.73]Yeah, this song is dedicated to every doubter that told me
[00:05.38]I'd never amount to nothin'
[00:07.44]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
[00:13.77]and everybody with a dream, you know what I'm sayin'?
[00:16.28]Uh-ha, it's all good baby bay-bee, uh
[00:19.16]It was all a dream
[00:20.51]I used to read Billboard magazine
[00:22.48]Throwing parties now with my crew up in a limousine
[00:25.26]Drawing pictures for my wall
[00:27.03]Every Saturday a rap attack in the studio with Mars, uh
[00:30.87]I let my words rock 'til my voice shot
[00:32.58]Learning what I can do, spittin till after dark
[00:35.63]Way back, when I had the blue and black lumberjack
[00:37.83]With the hat to match
[00:39.08]Remember rappin' through, the hard the hard
[00:42.41]You never thought that hip hop would take it this far
[00:44.98]Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight
[00:47.50]Time to create, Blow up like my show dates
[00:50.32]Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
[00:52.84]Remember when I used to say "what if" at dinner
[00:55.20]Lines to record, just a kid with a dream
[00:57.50]Sold out seats to hear MattyB speak
[00:59.94]I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
[01:02.48]Call the crib, same number same hood
[01:04.55]It's all good
[01:05.41]Uh, and if you don't know, now you know, playa, uh
[01:11.09]You know very well who you are
[01:15.28]Don't let em hold you down, reach for the stars
[01:20.64]You had a goal, but not that many
[01:25.35]'cause you're the only one so make it good and plenty
[01:30.83]Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
[01:32.45]Would play up in my room but man I couldn't picture this
[01:35.02]Flyin from Atlanta to a city cross the coast (I)
[01:37.82]Got my crew, a limousine with a chauffeur
[01:40.39]Cool sneakers and a fresh snap back
[01:42.57]No need to worry, cause I just cut a new track
[01:45.45]And my whole crew is loungin'
[01:47.39]Celebratin' every day, cause the fans made it happen
[01:50.43]Thinkin' back to what rhymes with Matt
[01:52.70]Now my mom rocks a hat with my name on the back, uh
[01:55.28]And she loves to show me off, of course
[01:57.67]Smiles every time my face is up in Billboard
[02:00.20]We used to fuss when the industry dissed us
[02:02.84]No heat, no recognition, they missed us
[02:05.12]Felt played in the worst way
[02:07.36]Now my dad's phone rings like they thirsty ha
[02:10.25]Can't lie I like the life I live
[02:12.28]'Cause I started as a kid just positive
[02:14.55]And it's all...
[02:15.91](It's all good)
[02:17.60]and if you don't know, now you know playa. uh
[02:20.90]You know very well who you are
[02:25.09]Don't let em hold you down, reach for the stars
[02:30.70]You had a goal, but not that many
[02:35.40]'cause you're the only one so make it good and plenty
[02:40.94]Representin' A-Town in the house, MattyB, mad flavor, uh
