Russ - 99 lyrics

[Produced by Russ] [Intro: TOTEM] They try and look me in the eyes and tell me There ain't no prize to be won, no, no No, I've been fighting for the top, I'm ready All I know is I want it all, all [Verse 1: Russ] Yeah, it's time to pack Luggage full of dreams with the tags still intact But the plastic's still wrapped, I haven't opened it With my feet up on a top floor screaming "Jesus" But I want more, it's all good, though This feel like that blow a pound with my dawgs on my Suge flow They love me in the hood, so Shout out Macivan spreading CD's round the discount mall like a virus Bosses choking, hope your employees know how to do the heimlich Left the bullsh** way behind like Kirk Hinrich I'm the first of my kind, ain't no doubt about it Slightly schizophrenic, I'm in the studio with myself There's still a crowd around Think I finally found the youth, it's in the truth Since 50 rocked the vest, I had the jukes With my feet up on a top floor screaming "Jesus" But I want more [Hook: Russ] I won't stop until I hear the world scream my name out, name out Who you are is what you do, not what you say I bring the bang out, bang out Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping [Verse 2: Paulina] I made a promise to myself in '99 Not to shoot for the sky would've been my biggest crime Sifted through my teens, growing now, I got a dream going People said you sick for believing so I sneezed on 'em Spent the rest nights focused on the lights Aim for the stars, co*k back, open flight Then I got caught, hot fingerprints on the shotgun List of success suspects and I'm the top one You could see me [?], getting [?] You could call my momma, if you ask, she'd admit that Climbing from the bottom, got grit [?] But the shooter in the pit cause she fit So please don't pity me, you see me holding keys I always like to tease, won't be the b**h to appease Soon the hoes come running and the checks start coming But I'm in it for the height, not the summit [Hook: Russ] I won't stop until I hear the world scream my name out, name out Who you are is what you do, not what you say I bring the bang out, bang out Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping [Outro: Paulina I made a promise to myself in '99 I was gonna shine I made a promise to myself in '99 I was gonna shine I made a promise to myself in '99 I was gonna shine I made a promise to myself in '99 I was gonna shine I made a promise to myself in '99 That I'd get real big, open up a few minds I made a promise to myself in '99 I was gonna shine
