Oh What A Night

It's funny how the Earth rotates, man you never know what's
 going to happen, ya know mean?
 All I said was "Aiight, I got this chiki bang bang dang da dang"
 Then it all got it started for me, man
 Yo, man I'm just getting back from the tour, man
 What it be like, man?
 Yo, bust it, turn me up
 Somebody told me if you can make in New York City, man, you can
 make it anywhere else, man
 Somehow I believe that shhhh
 (Chorus)
 Oh, what a night
 Late December, 1993 (what happened?)
 Who thought he would rule the industry?
 What an MC on the mic
 Yo, I ain't always have whips, I ain't always have yachts
 I ain't always have chips, I ain't always have rocks
 Matta fact I was a grimey little negro
 Who said if music didn't work, I'd sell diesel
 What cha'll thought, I wasn't raised in the projects?
 First of the month waitin for that PA check
 Lived on the first floor
 Were so poor that if you rung the buzzer the roaches would answer the door (who is it?)
 I went from boy to man in one night
 When I saw my life flash like light from poltergeist
 What made it worse, I couldn't speak English
 But from his facial expressions, he wanted my Adidas
 So hurry up and come out and play
 I'll be damned if I leave bare-footed in this hallway
 And I got big plans, so beg your pardon
 Cause next year this time I'ma sell out the Garden
 (Chorus)
 Yo, yo, I ain't gonna brag and boast and say I did it all
 But I'm the only rapper to play Carnegie Hall
 The first rap group, video cost a million
 First rapper to ever rep for the Haitians
 And sa fa say, na boolay
 Grammy night, we took 3 away
 22 million sold, I can't believe this
 There's still ain't a rapper alive who could achieve this
 But I ain't satisfied, when back to my home contemplating
 How could I become the next Quincy Jones?
 That's when Jerry hit me up on the horn and said
 "Clef, your on the cover of
 the cover of The Source by The Rolling Stones"
 No more struggling, good life we loving it
 You could live it too, if you only publish it
 So here we go, so what's the scenario?
 I own so many cars that I'm renting 'em for videos
 (Chorus)
