~#**************#~
Straight from the hood, youve always been there for me
~#**************#~

Back when everybody said I wasnt anything
~#**************#~
It was you who kept me holding on, no matter what was going on

Now its sky blue Phantoms and stretch Maybachs
~#**************#~
From sweepin them floors in them Bronx apartments, ha
~#**************#~
“Mira, esta que on that red carpet”
~#**************#~
When Pun died, you was the first to call me
~#**************#~
I never told you but you was there for me
