I Told You Lyrics

This is for those who didn't believe that me, myself they said I couldn't achieve my goal or even get to my destiny to be the S-K-B-I-Z It was a rough road, for me to pursue a career in rap to make you say hallelujah For those who did, I'm not talkin to you cause I couldn't be there with-out you Everytime I see you they always say I knew you was gonna make hits someday But then when I was strugglin hard, word a peep of help from them was never heard I always knew that, I was gonna make it No matter how much beef and aggravation I take it And if you try to hold back me and my crew Remember, I told you.. I told you.. I'ma give you one incedent from my past when I had short money, goofy pants off my ass I used to go to block parties my cousin had served and see how people who made it, kicked OTHERs to the curb And then I said if I was in their spotlight I would treat everybody, equally right To get where I'm at now, I used to hand out flyers From school to school, for New York and L.I.ers It was me and Mike from Ike and then they used to do it He said if you wanna be like them you gotta keep to it So I kept at it, cause it was hard work I told em I was makin a record, they gave me a smirk like if I was incapable of doin the deed or virtually impossible for me to succeed You must be crazy if I wouldn't pursue Only thing that I can tell you is I told you.. I told you.. Now now now this is how it's endin Just like any other story, it is splendid I said to Ty if you let me come out with a cut they will never ever stop shakin they butts So I came out with "Make the Music With Your Mouth Biz" An introduction to me, and told it like it is Some said it was beginner's luck, with this record Then I showed em with "Nobody Beats the Biz" and got respected I threw em off with my song "Pickin Boogers" It was acquired taste, for different kind of sugars I got international like twin skyscrapers with my album "Goin' Off" and my single "The Vapors" Since I produced my own, they said it would end cause it took a year and half to come out with "Just a Friend" It went platinum, my album went gold Altogether it was one point five records sold So don't EVER try to hold back me and my crew Only thing that I can say is, I told you.. I told you.. So when anybody try to, mess with your head Just go for what you wanna go for in life, aight? Chill
