Standing Ovation

[Intro] What's up man? I seen you got a Grammy and everything You done change you ain't, you can't even call me back You don't even call me back bruh I called you, 75 times yesterday dawg They cut my phone off, cause I was calling you [Singing] Now that I got dough in my pockets And a whole lot of profits seems like everybody loves me [Chamillionaire] It feels great, seems like e'rybody loves me Round of applause for the cause, thank you, and thank you Yeah! [Verse 1] Used to treat me like the bad guy from Houston And the media was like Darth Vader People turning like turntables They crossing over like cross-faders Try to switch up teams like ballplayers So our enemies are like our neighbors Keep 'em close, yeah very close Most of 'em folks are still loaning papers You can work or you can have the work Or we making more than all of y'all wagers Motivation makes hustlers make it So we successful cause y'all made us Used to not give a flying 'F' When they greeted us with that one finger Whole world jumped on the tip When we hit the switch and sat on swangers Hit the hood they say y'all famous Grinding hard so we can ball later They be like "Damn, that boy made it" If they say I didn't that's wrong data First a broad will try to say I'm fraud See me pull that wad and that guard changes Calling me she wanna be on the team And now she mad cause I'm ignoring pages Boys thinking that they concern me Y'all actin like y'all waiters Same ones that used to walk past When we was underground but now we all majors Keep speaking begging for a beat And I'll tell the streets to do that boy a favor Turning purple, blue and red, all flavors I got a message for all haters [Hook] Made it to the top and it ain't no way to stop it And I sho' ain't forgot when everybody used to judge me Now that I got dough in my pockets And a whole lot of profits seems like everybody loves me I know you like my style, I know you like my style I know you love the way I put it down I made it through the hating So when you see me shining give me a standing ovation [Verse 2] I was bouncin back like ping-pong "Ridin" became the new theme song Beatin on my chest like I'm King Kong When I broke the record for the ringtones You ever seen a platinum plaque That look like that then you seen wrong Better sit back and relax 'Cause my platinum reign is gonna seem long And I don't blame boys for hating Cause they was impatient and they didn't know the plan I knew that something had to shake And it was gonna bubble like a Coca-Cola can And I shook it up like a soda can My wallet is overflowin man Now my potential's unlimited Like the minutes of my Motorola plan Accountants and lawyers that got big business managers Chamillitary is an enterprise Is you ready to ride? Is you a fan or what? SoundScan'in' in Africa, SoundScan'in in Canada We don't play, yeah VMAs It can't get any better, can it huh? And I know it's hard to stay humble They really thought I threw a fumble I could'a caught that through the trees Run it right into the jungle Could'a been lil' Mugsy B., tryna back into Mutombo Would'a still been a victory for me You win then they'll say they love you [Hook 2] I know you like my style, I know you like my style I know you love the way I put it down I made it through the hating So when you see me shining give me a standing ovation [Verse 3] Let's give 'em cheers (Give 'em cheers!) To everyone who thought I'd disappear Thought that every word I said Was a subliminal shot to disappear Now I'm in a different gear, no beef, no hate, no dissin here You musta been drunk to doubt me You obviously didn't miss a beer I used to argue 'bout everythang With folks that just didn't hear You realize I was wasting words Like whispering in a missing ear I'd say it good and real, they telling me it isn't clear My two eyes just didn't tear 'Cause weakness is what I didn't fear It's a better result than last time But this grind it's a different year I really should be commended for what I've accomplished Give a cheer [Bridge] Nah matter fact I take that back (wonderful!) Hold your applause for the sequel We haven't gotten to the part where they try to cheat you (wicked) Haha, yeah...(Whoo! Chamillitary, you're a genius, you're a genius) [Hook] Made it to the top and it ain't no way to stop it And I sho' ain't forgot when everybody used to judge me Now that I got dough in my pockets And a whole lot of profits seems like everybody loves me I know you like my style, I know you like my style I know you love the way I put it down I made it through the hating So when you see me shining give me a standing ovation [Outro] Wonderful! Wicked... whoo! Chamillitary, you're a genius!
