Rags To Riches Lyrics - Supernova - Lisa Left Eye Lopes

A quick story from rags to riches 

Comin' to you from Supernova 

(Aka Left Eye) 

Give it to 'em, give it to 'em, give it to 'em 

(Ha, ha) 

I'm goin', I'm goin' from rags to riches 

(Ha ha ha ha) 

I'm goin', I'm goin' from rags to riches 

(Ha ha ha ha) 

I started off as an army brat 

(Atten, hut) 

Seven months old class act 

I was racing 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 innocence 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 my dad, got caught up in the flash 

My Nana goin' straight mad, had to make the dash 

Saw a fella through the streets who would give anything for cash 

And anything to crash in anybody's path 

If everything I had, look at what I could grab 

(Check it) 

And it was just a bunch of niggas 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

From rags to riches 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

I bet you I'ma be the richest 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

From rags to riches 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

I bet you I'ma be the richest 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

From rags to riches 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

I bet you I'ma be the richest 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

From rags to riches 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

I bet you I'ma be the richest 

Ding ding, the bell ring, landlord causin' a scene 

Mama diggin' for her green, last dolla 

(Dolla bill) 

To pay for the phone bill, electric bill, water bill 

How you feel when you make a mill'? 

And move your mama to a house on the Hill 

With picture framed TV's on the wall 

Hard and I'm pissed when she wanna ball 

A cell phone for when she wanna call 

She ballin' out of control 

With her own bank roll, I got her back though 

One for the money and two for the show 

Mama floors stayin' clean, 600 green outside 

Showin' them the many ways that God provides in life 

Or who can see the bigger picture 

And tell a story from goin' dead broke to gettin' richer 

Knowin' I'm gettin' with you in this paper chase 

Rags to riches all up in your face 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

From rags to riches 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

I bet you I'ma be the richest 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

From rags to riches 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

I bet you I'ma be the richest 

I remember sellin' weed 

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 drugs 

A few dollars in the bucket 

And scheming steady dreaming 

For a chance to make some duckets 

Caused a little ruckus on the sideline 

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 riches 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

From rags to riches 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

I bet you I'mma be the richest 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

From rags to riches 

I'm goin' from rags to riches 

I bet you I'mma be the richest 

I'm lovin' everybody that's tryin' to get it from rags to riches 

From nuttin' to somethin' 

(Ha ha right) 

You know what I'm sayin' 

I'm nuttin' but a quickie story, from rags to riches 

To all my mournin' ghetto superstars out there, much love 

I'm backin' everybody, East Coast, West Coast, the Midwest 

Everything you know what I'm sayin', it's all hip hop, much love 

We all came from rags and went to riches 

And the ones that's still messin' with them rags 

You know what I'm sayin' 

Keep your head up 

(Know what I'm sayin') 

Somethin' bound to happen 

For sure though
