Текст Chamillionaire — 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!
