Big Rich Town Lyrics - 50 Cent

They say this is a big, rich town 

I just come from the poorest part 

Bright lights, city life, I gotta make it 

This is where it goes down 

I just happen to come up hard 

Legal or illegal, baby, I gotta make it 

I never took a straight path nowhere, life's full of twist and turns 

Bumps and bruises, I lived, I learned 

I'm from that city full of yellow cabs and skyscrapers 

It's hard to get a start in these parts without paper 

Homie, I grew up in hell, a block away from heaven 

That corner every 15 minutes it move a seven 

Pure snow, bag it then watch it go 

Occupational options, guess I'm blowing some hoes 

Shoot the bullet, the strap, learned to rap with a jack 

Fuck it, man, in the mean time go ahead and pump a pack 

This my regal royal flow, my James Bond bounce 

That 007, that 62 on my count 

I'm a undercover liar, I lie under the covers 

Look a bitch in the eyes and tell her "baby, I love it" 

You're my inspiration, you're my motivation 

You're the reason that I'm moving with no hesitation

I just come from the poorest part 

Bright lights, city life, I gotta make it 

This is where it goes down 

I just happen to come up hard 

Legal or illegal, baby, I gotta make it 

I gotta hustle through the hustle and bust while I make a move 

Manuever around the rats and wolves, I'm from the school 

Of hard knocks, shots pop, bodies drop 

Graveyard, pick a block cause niggas want your spots 

I'm trying to stack shit then I go legit 

Hollow tip, stuff 'em in a clip case niggas trip 

My cocaine endeavours give me corporate ties 

I'm supposed to lose, watch me win against the odds 

All I got is my word, balls and my instinct 

I'm trying to make it, we already made it my friends think 

We already on top, I got a bigger plan 

No more control substances or hand to hand 

White collar visions, game changing mission 

Big wrists, big wins, keep on bigger living 

Perfect position, watch me transition 

From caterpillar to butterfly in the sky
