Maybach Curtains (feat. Nas, John Legend & Rick Ross)

Look how far we came

Through the fire I stood knowing we would reign

Feels like yesterday when all this was a dream

Through these Maybach curtains I see how life has changed

Look how far we came

Through the fire I stood knowing we would reign

Feels like yesterday when all this was a dream

Through these Maybach curtains I see how life has changed

Yeah it was all a dream

On the corner servin' all them fiends

Me and a bunch of my ni**as yeah we was all a team

The system labeled us killas but momma called us kings

Walked through the hall of a prison now it's the hall of fame

And people got the nerve to ask why I wear all these chains

When I was booked they had me shackled to the wall of shame

So I'm just representin' better yet just reminiscin'

Put down on that Bentley truck I used to want the Expedition

Now it's bigger things grew up and got bigger dreams

Cause in my hood ni**as try to smoke you just like nicotine

And this money sh*t ain't funny all the sh*t it brings

You bound to lose your family and your friends boy this sh*t is mean

And birthdays was the worst days

Last week I made a hundred on a Thursday

And Club Liv got me sinnin' on a church day

Stevie J all on the mic he screamin' out my birthplace

Philly we back

Look how far we came

Through the fire I stood knowing we would reign

Feels like yesterday when all this was a dream

Through these Maybach curtains I see how life has changed

I'm blunted - You wanna see life's meaning

On the radio Al Green while Mom's cleanin'

Mom's singing along with the songs

And shortly I learned the words to 'em

Nerf balls I threw 'em

But now I'm a perfectionist to a fault like Jesus

Judgin' his own miracles but he won't cause he automatic

I'm like an old blues singer living in the bottle

Whose wife left him in the bottom

Writing songs is how we solvin' the problem

My liquid money's a hypnotist to your Mrs

Lay back like I'm in the chair of a dentist

Nasir relentless a freak like Prince is

Mystique like Sade

Soon as I enter people point and see my anointment

I ain't tryna do too much

Same time I ain't no bum ni**a not doin' enough

But I ain't tryna do no dumb sh*t chasin' my tail in a circle

I made it so I'm chillin' now

Transparent ceiling now

Look how far we came

Through the fire I stood knowing we would reign

Feels like yesterday when all this was a dream

Through these Maybach curtains I see how life has changed

The chorus cinematic going back to Cali

Young street ni**a late 80's suede Bally's

Jewels like Rick the Ruler looking like I ripped the jeweler

I could cut a check make some people hit your shooter

Domino effect you in that magic city

Where all they do is flex; call it Milli Vanilli

Coming from the bottom my lil' ni**a from Philly

Young legend outta Queens take over city to city

Honor thou mother go to war for my brother

Giving sufficient funds to significant others

Went from poor now women screamin' for my signature

More war came from the bottom so I know the war

Never worn always on y'all ni**as luke warm

Talking cash over salads heavy croûtons

Cuban Linx's equivalent to having suits on

Stretch Maybachs 'til they bring the coupes on

Look how far we came

Through the fire I stood knowing we would reign

Feels like yesterday when all this was a dream

Through these Maybach curtains I see how life has changed

Look how far we came

Through the fire I stood knowing we would reign

Feels like yesterday when all this was a dream

Through these Maybach curtains I see how life has changed
