In The Life Lyrics - Bobby Valentino

Intro: (4x) 

From Rags to Riches (riches) 

Bet you Imma be the richest 

Verse1: 

I started off as an army brat (Atten-hut!) 

Seven months, class act 

I was racin down the block 

As a matter of fact 

I could've been a track star (I guess I am) 

I stacked bars 

Comin' through your system in them phat cars (uh) 

Cross country isn't that far 

It's like I'm in the race, don't know who you cats are 

See one day I fell from grace, landed in this place 

My whole sh*t erased from talkin' back to my momma's face 

Like I was lost in space 

Without a trace, cuttin' class, bein' Mrs. Fast Ass 

Gettin' blasted with dad, got caught up in the flash 

My Nana goin' mad, had to make the dash 

Saw a fell up in the streets 

Did anything for cash 

And anything to crash, in anybody's path 

Gave everything I had 

Took what I could grab (check it) 

It was just a bunch of open rags 

Chorus (Bobby Valentino): 

This is the story in the life of a hustler 

Running for the come up 

No one ever thought I would ever blow up 

So I guess I had to show up 

Now everywhere I go 

The people wanna know 

They wanna know where I came from 

Not havin a pot to piss in 

Stop and listen 

Ill tell you how I came from Rags to Riches 

Verse2: 

I remember sellin' coke 

Can't believe that I was poisonin' my folk 

Now I let my throat be the antidote 

Always kept my hopes high 

Now mama don't cry, 'cause I'll be close by 

With the most high 

I was playin' Robin Hood (in the hood) 

Little Red Riding Hood 

Til' the barrel pointed where I stood (yeah, I stood) 

But walked away like I was absolutely positively sure I could 

Attitude on f*ck it 

Some dollars in the bucket 

Been scheming steady dreaming 

For a chance to make some duckets 

Caused a little ruckus on the sideline 

Fully reconstructed every guideline 

From the alley way to Cali, on the Grammy day 

Went from disarray to mayday, mayday, mayday 

Ran away from the sickness with a quickness 

And went from rags to richness 

Chorus (Bobby Valentino): 

This is the story in the life of a hustler 

Running for the come up 

No one ever thought I would ever blow up 

So I guess I had to show up 

Now everywhere I go 

The people wanna know 

They wanna know where I came from 

Not havin a pot to piss in 

Stop and listen 

Ill tell you how I came from Rags to Riches 

Verse 3 (Bobby Valentino): 

Man, I struggled so long 

Did whatever it took me for me to get on 

I wouldnt let nobody stop me 

Even if they told me I cant 

I said Imma do it, watch me 

And now Im just living life lavish 

Money, cars, and clothes 

Yea I got to have it 

Its been a long hard road to make it 

In this business 

But I told yall Ill be the bestest 

Chorus (Bobby Valentino)(2x): 

This is the story in the life of a hustler 

Running for the come up 

No one ever thought I would ever blow up 

So I guess I had to show up 

Now everywhere I go 

The people wanna know 

They wanna know where I came from 

Not havin a pot to piss in 

Stop and listen 

Ill tell you how I came from Rags to Riches
