Lyrics
And I know you ain`t no little boy no more
But you`ll always be my baby
It seems like only yesterday I was holding you in my arms
Now look at you now big, but I worry about you
I worry about you all the time
Hangin` out on the corner all times at night with the cruel people
Baby that ain`t nothin` but trouble
I always taught you that you could have whatever you dream
Well, I want you to hold on to that dream baby
Hold on to it real tight `coz the sky`s the limit
Good evenin? ladies and gentlemen
How`s everybody doin? tonite?
I`d like to welcome to the stage
The lyrically acclaimed
I like this young man
Because, when he came out
He came out wit the phrase
He went from ashy to classy, I like that
So everybody in the house
Give a warm round of applause
For the Notorious B.I.G., the Notorious B.I.G.
Ladies and gentlemen give it up for him ya`ll
A n*gga never been as broke as me, I like that
When I was young I had two pair of Lee`s, besides that
The pin stripes and the gray
The one I wore on Mondays and Wednesdays
While n*ggas flirt, I`m sewing tigers on my shirt and alligators
Ya wanna see the inside, huh, I see ya later
Here come the drama, oh, that`s that n*gga wit the fake
Why you punch me in my face, stay in ya place
Play ya position, here come my intuition
Go in this n*gga pocket, rob him while his friends watchin?
That hoe?s clockin?, here comes respect
His crew`s your crew or they might be next
Look at they man eye, big man they never try
So we roll wid ?em, stole wid ?em
I mean loyalty, n*ggaz bought me milks at lunch
The milks was chocolate, the cookies, butter crunch
In gear Oshkosh with blue and white ducks, pass the blunt
Sky?s the limit and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressin? on
Sky?s the limit and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Sky?s the limit and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressin? on
Sky?s the limit and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Have what you want, be what you want
I was a shame, my crew was lame, I have enough heart
For most of ?em long as I got stuff from most of ?em
It`s on, even when I was wrong I got my point across
They depicted me the boss, of course
My orange box-cutter make the world go round
Plus I`m f**kin?, b*tches ain`t my homegirls now
Start stackin?, dabbled in crack, gun packin?
Nickname Medina, make the seniors tote my ninas
From gym class to Englass, pass off a global
The only n*gga wit a mobile, can`t you see like total
Getting? larger in waist and taste
Ain`t no tellin? where this felon is headin?, just in case
Keep a shell at the tip of ya melon, clear da space
Ya brain was a terrible thing to waste
Eighty-eight long gates, snatch initial nameplates
Smokin? spliffs wit n*ggaz, real life beginner killers
Prayin? God forgive us for being sinners, help us out
Sky?s the limit and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressin? on
Sky?s the limit and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Sky?s the limit and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressin? on
Sky?s the limit and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Have what you want, be what you want
After realizin? to master enterprisin?
I ain`t have ta be in school by ten, I was in
Began to encounter, wit my counter-parts
On how ta burn the block apart
Break it down into section, drugs by the selection
Some use pipes, others use injections
Syringe sold separately, Frank the deputy
Quick to grab my Smith-n-Wessun, like my dick was missin?
To protect my position, my corner, my layer
While we out here, say the hustlas prayer
If the game shakes me or breaks me
I hope it makes me a better man
Take a better stand
Put money in my mom`s hand
Get my daughter this college plan
So she don`t need no man
Stay far from timid
Only make moves when ya heart`s in it
And live the phrase Sky`s The Limit
Motherf**ker, see you chumps on top
Sky?s the limit and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressin? on
Sky?s the limit and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Sky?s the limit and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressin? on
Sky?s the limit and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Sky?s the limit and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressin? on
Sky?s the limit and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
