[Intro]
Statik Selektah

[Chorus: Nym Lo]
Once upon a time not long ago
There was a kid from the town that wanted all the dough
Money bags, champagne, cars and clothes
So sit back and listen to the song he wrote (Once upon a time)
Sit, sit back and listen to the song he wrote (Once upon a time)
Here we go (Lo)

[Verse 1: Nym Lo]
Back when 50 Cent dropped how to rob
I was tryna whip exotic cars out a jar
Turnin' powder hard, in and out the projects
Grew up every day strugglin', so I had a complex, haha, yes
Activate the heated steerin' wheel
Plus the seats and watch it heat up the arm rest
I get in the car and dash like Kan West
Headed north, champagne popped, the cork top is off
Not bad for a high school drop out
Pockets full pullin' the drop out
Thirty-two ounce tomahawk from the Brooklyn Chop House
I used to serve fiends in the trap house with my strap out
Now the wrist like Aspen, they need Aspirin, they head hurt
Dior on my jacket and my sweatshirt
Tryna come up, I was servin' them the wet work
Stackin' loaf, increasin' my net worth, Lo
[Chorus: Nym Lo & Curren$y]
Once upon a time not long ago
There was a kid from the town that wanted all the dough
Money bags, champagne, cars and clothes
So sit back and listen to the song he wrote (Once upon a time)
Sit, sit back and listen to the song he wrote (Once upon a time)
Here we go (Yeah, yeah, uh)

[Verse 2: Curren$y]
It's like this and like that and like this and uh
Michael drivin' his Ferrari to the United Center
Another day at the office, the crowd applaud when the bosses enter
Livin' the life of sinners, though we are born winners
Full length furs preparin' for a long winter
Prayin' for strength, prayin' for forgiveness
Survival of the fittest
Mercedes AMG kitted BBS rimmed it, didn't tint it
Sittin' back in it, reminiscin' 'bout how we did it
Live to tell the story but we ain't sayin' shizzit
East Side all the time, n***a know the business
If we involved in it, it's gotta be the biggest
Marijuana scented, but that should be a given
Cost a half a million, loan it to my homies like it's just a rental
But I cashed out on the spot, the whole car lot witnessed
The dealer wanted to take a picture, n***a
[Chorus: Nym Lo]
Once upon a time not long ago
There was a kid from the town that wanted all the dough
Money bags, champagne, cars and clothes
So sit back and listen to the song he wrote (Once upon a time)
Sit, sit back and listen to the song he wrote (Once upon a time)
Here we go (Go)
