[00:09.24]This song is dedicated
[00:11.10]to all the up and coming rappers, singers, hustlers, actors
[00:14.67]Whatever you may be remember:
[00:16.53]without no struggle, you get no progress
[00:19.05]So keep grindin, keep on mashin, get yours
[00:21.60]Chorus: Gerald Levert
[00:24.75]You're nothin far from comin up (keep on)
[00:28.44]Money's just a touch away (keep on)
[00:35.10]So keep on grindin don't give it up (keep on)
[00:36.63]There'll always be another day (keep on)
[00:44.31][Mack 10]
[00:44.79]And now I'm sittin at the pad, teary eyed and depressed
[00:47.82]Starvin and sufferin from mental stress
[00:50.76]Now a true center to the game of beginner
[00:53.28]but hard to feel like a winner when you eat spreads for dinner
[00:56.22]Hit the streets late night in the form of star mushin
[00:59.01]On the 211 mission just to pay tuition
[01:01.80]For my kids I got to grind and develop street saavy
[01:04.59]Servin stress cause I just ain't got enough to cop cavi
[01:07.50]But I can't stop, I won't stop, til I got it made
[01:10.35]Either build my clientele, get a job or learn a trade
[01:13.26]like hip-hop, and make enough to live good forever
[01:15.99]So I learned to write the rhymes and get my metaphors together
[01:18.84]Then I joined a rap crew, with the homies on my street
[01:21.66]Sellin underground tapes out the local swap meet
[01:24.42]Gettin tighter on the mic, as I worked day to day
[01:27.18]So now I lay down at night, and I hear voices say, 'Mack'
[01:30.75]Chorus
[01:33.60][Mack 10]
[01:52.68]Now I'm new to the scene, H as in Hard, N as in Nympho
[01:55.56]So like EPMD, could you _Please Listen to My Demo?_
[01:58.62]I left the local crew, felt like I was the man
[02:01.26]In popular demand and now ready for SoundScan
[02:04.11]So I searched for a deal with no luck I kept rappin
[02:06.72]Felt like it would take a miracle to make it all happen
[02:09.60]Marble said it was a test, 'Mack don't do nuttin wrong!
[02:12.27]Just have faith in God and keep your hustle goin strong
[02:15.24]Stay hongry, keep writin, don't quit you're too close
[02:18.03]Remember good things come to those who want it most'
[02:20.91]So I never left the house, without my rap book
[02:23.76]Thought I found a new crew but eventually got shook
[02:26.64]First they said I was cool, but then started to doubt me
[02:29.43]Put me on the backburner and just forgot all about me
[02:32.16]Partna said I wasn't fresh, and sent me on my way, but you know what?
[02:35.49]As I was leavin, I could hear voices say, 'Mack'
[02:37.98]Chorus
[02:41.34][Mack 10]
[03:00.48]Now the tables turned, but I remember they used to clown me
[03:03.30]The hard work paid off, and luck finally found me
[03:06.15]So call every publication, Billboard and the editor
[03:09.00]and tell em Mack's being signed by dude workin on _The Predator_
[03:12.03]I got the Midas touch, now everything be the bomb
[03:14.67]Hooked up with The Don, now made a few mill-ion
[03:17.49]I don't bang I write the good rhymes, you know about mines
[03:20.19]Man I'm the tightest MC, Ice Cube ever signed
[03:23.10]Now if ain't the radio, it's a video shoot
[03:25.86]Livin life in the limelight, with a bank full of loot
[03:28.71]Now my crew is solid, shook the haters and the leeches
[03:31.47]Runnin full court at my house with our girls on the beaches
[03:34.41]Plus the violence is ceased, no more bi-coastal beef
[03:37.17]Cause now I get down with the North South and the East
[03:40.02]I reminisce on hard times, seem like yesterday, but now
[03:43.20]Hoo Bangin' is official and I remember they used to say, 'Mack'
[03:46.17]Chorus
[03:47.43][Levert] Money's just a touch, just a simple touch
[03:48.66]Money's just a touch away..
[03:51.33]Money's just a touch, just a simple touch
[03:52.86]Money's just a touch away..
[03:54.27][Mack 10] Man I knew I was gonna make it, but they didn't believe me
[04:14.25]YaknowhatI'msayin?　Clowned me -- gon' be a rapper, what?
[04:33.33]Hahahaha
