A Beautiful Thing - A Plus, CASUAL

Never let nobody tell you that you can’t dream

It’s a beautiful thing (it's a beautiful thing)

If you workin 9 to 5 or hustlin for your green

It’s a beautiful thing (it's a beautiful thing)

When you take care of your seed, you feedin your own king

It’s a beautiful thing (it's a beautiful thing)

You could be dead or in the bing but you not, high like you got wings

It’s a beautiful thing (it's a beautiful thing)

Yeah, I’m dope enough to have your hundred dollar bill rolled up

Headed for my CD when the cops show up

When they ask you where you get the stuff

Say, «Compound yeah that’s what’s up~!»

50 years ago we sayin thanks for chitlins

Now this hip-hop music got us bankin millions

Thank them older white people wanna spank they children

(Oakland) Killafornia is the state we live in

Goin out to my people all over the earth

Better look inside yourself so you can know what you worth

I done put in both illegal and legitimate work

Now I finally started gettin the perks, no longer dealin with jerks

My mind abstract, my grind NASDAQ

Hip-Hop cat with a 9 in the backpack

Protectin my seed and my beautiful queen

I love life, it’s a beautiful thing, it’s a beautiful thing

I’m dope enough to have your hundred dollar bill rolled up

Headed for my CD when the cops show up

When they ask you where you get the stuff

Say, «Hiero yeah that’s what’s up~!»

Ay whattup wit’chu?

What you fin' to do?

Baby comin through I’m 'bout to shoot through the hoop

Scootin the building you knew it about to do it to her

Blew about 2 without you

Yeahhh it’s a beautiful thang

Cause when they get 10 they give 2 to the kang, hmmmmm

My grape and lobster dream ain’t to rock a bling

But yeah my boys ring like Dr. King

Your partner clean, baby wasn’t sayin nothin they be frontin

Maybe wasn’t payin nuttin

I dream on and sing gone

Smash Rockwell is him embellishin his elegance

Beautiful thing, it’s a beautiful thing

«You fools!

You meddling curious prying fools!

I will not be caught by a petty policeman in a country town!»
