Rick Ross, John Legend, Meek Mill - Maybach Curtains lyrics

Look how far we came (look how far we come)
Through the fire
I stood knowing we would reign
It feel like yesterday when all
This was a dream (yesterday)
Through these Maybach curtains I see
How life has changed look how far we came
(I think I'ma dedicate this one)
To all the people that thought
I wouldn't make it here through the fire
I stood knowing we would reign
(Dreamchasers)
It feel like yesterday when all
This was a dream
Through these Maybach curtains I see
How life has changed

Yeah, it was all a dream
On the corner servin' all them fiends
Me and a bunch of my niggas, yeah
We was all a team
The system labeled us killas
But momma called us kings
Walked through the hall of a prison
Now it's the hall of fame
And people got the nerve to ask
Why I wear all these chains
When I was booked
They had me shackled to the wall of shame
So I'm just representin'
Better yet just reminiscin'
Put down on that Bentley truck
I used to want the Expedition
Now it's bigger things
Grew up and got bigger dreams
Cause in my hood
Niggas try to smoke you just like nicotine
And this money shit ain't funny
All the shit it brings
You bound to lose your
Family and your friends
Boy this shit is mean
And birthdays was the worst days
Last week I made a hundred on a Thursday
And Club Liv got me sinnin' on a church day
Stevie J all on the mic
He screamin' out my birthplace
Philly, we back!

Look how far we came through the fire
I stood knowing we would reign
It feel like yesterday when all
This was a dream
Through these Maybach curtains I see
How life has changed

Haha, yo
I'm blunted, you wanna see life's meaning?
On the radio, Al Green
While mom's cleanin'
Mom's singing along with the songs
And shortly I learned the words
To 'em, Nerf balls, i threw 'em
But now I'm a perfectionist to
A fault like Jesus
Judgin' his own miracles
But he won't cause he automatic
I'm like an old blues singer
Living in the bottle
Whose wife left him down in the bottom
Writing songs is how we solvin' the problem
My liquid money's a hypnotist to your misses
Lay back like I'm in the chair of a dentist
Nasir relentless, a freak like Prince is
Mystique like Sade soon as I enter people
Point and see my anointment
I ain't tryna do too much same time
I ain't no bum nigga not doin' enough
But I ain't tryna do no dumb shit
Chasin' my tail in a circle
I made it so I'm chillin' now
Transparent ceiling now
Nas and Meek killin', hah, wow!
(yeah, we did it, baby)

Look how far we came through the fire
I stood knowing we would reign
It feel like yesterday when all
This was a dream you dreaming of nightmares
You dreaming of nightmares
Through these Maybach curtains I see
How life has changed let's go

The chorus cinematic, going back to Cali
Young street nigga, late 80's suede Bally's
Jewels like Rick the Ruler
Looking like I ripped the jeweler
I could cut a check
Make some people hit your shooter
Domino effect, you in that magic city
Where all they do is flex
Call it Milli Vanilli
Coming from the bottom
My lil' nigga from Philly
Young legend outta Queens
Take over city to city
Honor thy mother, go to war for my brother
Giving sufficient funds to significant others
Went from poor now women
Screamin' for my signature
More war came from the bottom
So I know the war never worn, always on
Y'all niggas luke warm
Talking cash over salads, heavy croûtons
Cuban links equivalent to having suit's on
Stretch Maybachs 'til they bring
The coupes on

Look how far we came through the fire
I stood knowing we would reign
It feel like yesterday when all
This was a dream
Through these Maybach curtains I see
How life has changed look how far we came
Through the fire
I stood knowing we would reign
It feel like yesterday when all
This was a dream
Through these Maybach curtains I see
How life has changed
