Shampain

[Verse 1: Ransom]

It's hard to be a success if you never was

And I never was

The greatest thing I ever did was put on some leather gloves

And selling drugs for this ghetto love

But instead of love, I got the dead above looking down on this petty thug

Never budge is what I tell a judge

Slouchin' in my seat I think I said enough

Fuck 'em

Look in my face, my eyes red as blood, it's nothin'

Mr. Nickels ain't known for lettin' up, so cuff 'em

You think this champagne I'm spillin' is the reason I'm a villain

Believe that I'm appealing because the green is to the ceilin'

I'm fiendin' for a million

My champagne wishes and caviar dreams fulfillin'

I'm finna make a killin'

But still I'm by that building where these niggas try to kill 'em

Cause when he's not around is when his niggas never feel him

I know they sick of hearing Ran's name

He always talking about his damn pain, Shampain

[Hook: Mike Classic]

Take a little sip, all you really need is a bottle of the

(Champagne)

I don't know if you be drunk, or be high, if you low, all you really need is some

(Champagne)

Champagne, champagne, champagne

(Champagne)

All you really need is some, all you really need is some

(Champagne)

[Verse 2: Jadakiss]

Yea, all they heard was exhaust pipes

Being broke at 40 give a nigga the frostbites

Everybody just can't be living the boss life

If it's good, then cop the whole thing if it cost right

Breeze through, shoot past, shorties'll shoot fast

Bubbly, but it don't come in the flute glass

You smell it and it's already lit

Plus you controllin' the crowd so they know you legit

Name speak for itself so they know who you with

By the time you see the sparkles, you already hit

Real shit

Similar but it's different, drippin' instead of sippin'

For every bottle you pop there's a nigga slippin' the clip in

Still plottin', itchin', pill poppin', and sniffin'

Sucka nigga is just watchin' and wishin'

Sad part about it, it's a damn shame

Cause all he needs is a little bit of champagne

[Hook: Mike Classic]

[Verse 3: Raekwon]

We like the trench coat mafia, fresh from Czechoslovakia

All the guns with alcohol and sake, huh

Criminals pass, who's show improves?, we up to date

No flakin' no moves, the niggas'll lake you in two

Pass by the Caesars in Vegas

My shooters is waiters

With magnums on strap, splittin' potatoes

Was a rough road I rose

Now we in roses froze

What it do cat daddy? I told you out the (?)

To live in luxury past the treys

Gold joints, we kings from violent plays

Cigars we wizards who only wear (?)

(?) straps on Champion hoods, this ours

A town where they live comfortable

We come through, frontin' through

We always in somethin' if somethin' new

Drinkin' at the stadium, philosophical theories

Thinkin' 'bout fixing the World Series

Here me?

[Outro: Ransom]

If the money and the fame don't take away the pain, it's a God damn shame

(Shampain)

We been workin' for these whips, tryin' to get a nice chain, now that's what I call slave

(Shampain)

It don't matter if you down or up, we pourin' bottles out in them hallways

(Shampain)

Livin' in this hell long enough will make you want to take away the Shampain
