Maybach Curtains (feat. Nas, John Legend & Rick Ross) Lyrics

Maybach Curtains ft. John Legend, Nas & Rick Ross - Meek Mill

...

Look how far we came

Through the fire, I stood knowing we would reign

Feels like yesterday when all this was a dream

Through these Maybach curtains I see how life has changed

I think Ima dedicate this one

To all the people that thought I wouldn't make it here

Dream chasers

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 explain we came

Through the fire, I stood knowing we would reign

Feels like yesterday when all this was a dream

Through these Maybach curtains I see how life has changed

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 Mrs

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

Look how far explain we came

Through the fire, I stood knowing we would reign

Feels like yesterday when all this was a dream

Through these Maybach curtains I see how life has changed

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 thou 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 Linx's equivalent to having suits on

Stretch Maybachs 'til they bring the coupes on

Look how far explain we came

Through the fire, I stood knowing we would reign

Feels like yesterday when all this was a dream

Through these Maybach curtains I see how life has changed
