Straight outta Flatbush

Always tek it back

(Whoa oh)

Fi yuh peeps

(Whoa whoa whoa oh)

Don't worry about it, it's been brought up 'Cause you never know what your gonna turn out to be

(No oh ooh ooh)

Life has it's funny twist and turns yuh nah mean

(Yay yay) Back in the days, tried and failed but look at me now

How, things have changed, had no friends but look at me now

It, seems so strange, no one cared but look at me now

Fortune and fame, who would guess but look at me now Friends, spend nuh time wid ***

I was the kid who never follow many trends

Used to wear the glasses with the soda bottle lens

Girls didn't like me and a few would just pretend It's funny back in school the guys that were so cool

Are the very ones who wish them could a be walkin' inna mi shoes

Now tell me whose the fool, them never have a clue

That's why I'm here to dedicate this song to all of you, hey hey Back in the days tried and failed but look at me now

(The days)

How, things have changed had no friends but look at me now

(How things changed)

It, seems so strange no one cared but look at me now

(So strange)

Fortune and fame who would guess but look at me now

(Ooh wee) I, never realized

I could make reality di tings I fantasize

Stuck to my plan and to everyone surprised

Even those who doubt a stand before mi mesmerized I bloom delay a late, I couldn't get an eight

Di cheerleadin' chicks grew up to all be overweight

See now I lookin' greta, I wonda what they ate

To that I'm really happy wid my supermodel date, hey hey Back in the days tried and failed but look at me now

(I know)

How, things have changed had no friends but look at me now

It, seems so strange no one cared but look at me now

(I know, I know)

Fortune and fame who would guess but look at me now

(No no) If you think you got it figured out well listen to me

Don't ever underestimate what people can be

Now whose the one that's most likely to succeed

It's usually the one's you don't see, hey If you think you got it figured out well listen to me

Don't ever underestimate what people can be

Now whose the one that's most likely to succeed

It's usually the one's you don't see, come again Back in the days tried and failed but look at me now
