All That - Original Flavor

No, you think that I think I’m all that

(You think you’re all that)

It ain’t even like that

(You think you’re all that)

I’m only trying to get my pockets fat

(You think you’re all that)

Oh, why it gotta be like that

Now you just need to stop

C’mon ya little hottie

Although I may look like the man, I don’t think I’m better than nobody

So what on Earth gave you the right to

Say «I'm all that» when I’m just a person like you?

I’m only trying to get mine in today’s life (word)

Cause things are getting mighty hard in today’s life (word)

And when my pockets get bigger and bigger and bigger

I remain a cool ass nigga

I hang with my peeps from around the way

Even though I moved from around the way

That’s what’s wrong with black people today

We always got something messed up to say

I like how you told your friends I was stuck up

Now all your peeps think I’m conceited that’s fucked up

You’re spreading lies behind my back

Me gassed up?

I think you better go 'head with that

I think you’re just mad cause I ain’t been calling

But I got work to do

This is business, nothing personal

Cause I’ma always stay true to the game

But you keep trying to put shame in my name

I hang with my peeps from around the way

Even though I moved from around the way

That’s what’s wrong with black people today

We always got something messed up to say

But you can take this for what it’s worth

My joint is platinum

They love me

But I’m still down to Earth

Another brother gets paid from the hood the right way

And on that note you should feel good

I’m only trying to get paid correct

Legit

You know when I start producing crazy hits

So let me do my thing on this track

Me gassed?

No, you think I think I’m all that

I just hate the way you walk in so casual as if you’re high

(What's wrong with the way I walk?)

Thinking that you’re every lady’s dream, oh no you’re not mine

You never come around

And then you ask why I’m not down

Cause I’m not trying to sweat you like the next one

Waaaay back

That’s just how far we go

So tell me, when you ever known me to have an ego?

Rumors, lies, lies, rumors

Get the story straight before you play me like some Pumas

Cause I’m really not concerned about being fly

That’s really not good for the public side

So I

Feel like I gotta be myself

Cause fronting now-a-days is bad for your health

I could never let fame go to my head

Although I’m glad I’m not in jail or dead

I’d rather pick up the microphone instead

Step on stage and put a few heads to bed

Microphone check one, check one, two

I’m only trying to represent the uptown crew

The big man Chub is on the one and two

Sweetheart you know how we do

«Who is the top choice of them all?»
