Road To Riches

Remember them times when we were down
Real ghetto dude's came from the slum 
Enemies just waiting for us to come around
Them day's you could never move without a gun 

Now that we're up they know its smoke
Pushing coke and dope the streets was our hope 
People look up to us like we're the pope 
We stand our ground and climb that slope 
Now we are at the top they label us the goat 

Everyone around me screaming never broke again 
For we have overcome our pain 
And rise to the top for a better name 
They say we have tame the game 
Since we came in for the money and not the fame

Road to riches
