Yeah, this song is dedicated to every doubter that told me
I'd never amount to nothin'

To all the people, who put me down and made fun of me when I was just trying to go after something that I really wanted

and everybody with a dream, you know what I'm sayin'?

Uh-ha, it's all good baby bay-bee, uh

[Verse One:]

It was all a dream
I used to read Billboard magazine
Throwing parties now with my crew up in a limousine
Drawing pictures for my wall
Every Saturday a rap attack in the studio with Mars, uh
I let my words rock 'til my voice shot
Learning what I can do, spittin till after dark
Way back, when I had the blue and black lumberjack
With the hat to match
Remember rappin' through, the hard the hard
You never thought that hip hop would take it this far
Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight
Time to create, Blow up like my show dates
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Remember when I used to say "what if" at dinner
Lines to record, just a kid with a dream
Sold out seats to hear MattyB speak
I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number same hood
It's all good

Uh, and if you don't know, now you know, playa, uh

 [bad word] ]

You know very well who you are
Don't let em hold you down, reach for the stars
You had a goal, but not that many
'cause you're the only one so make it good and plenty

Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
Would play up in my room but man I couldn't picture this
Flyin from Atlanta to a city cross the coast (I)
Got my crew, a limousine with a chauffeur
Cool sneakers and a fresh snap back
No need to worry, cause I just cut a new track
And my whole crew is loungin'
Celebratin' every day, cause the fans made it happen
Thinkin' back to what rhymes with Matt
Now my mom rocks a hat with my name on the back, uh
And she loves to show me off, of course
Smiles every time my face is up in Billboard
We used to fuss when the industry dissed us
No heat, no recognition, they missed us
Felt played in the worst way
Now my dad's phone rings like they thirsty ha
Can't lie I like the life I live
'Cause I started as a kid just positive
And it's all...

(It's all good)

and if you don't know, now you know playa. uh

 [bad word] ]

You know very well who you are
Don't let em hold you down, reach for the stars
You had a goal, but not that many
'cause you're the only one so make it good and plenty

Representin' A-Town in the house, MattyB, mad flavor, uh
Uh, yeah, a-ight
