Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ayo, what's the 411, hun?
(What's the 411, huh?)
I know you got it going on
(Ayo, I got it going on)
Ayo, what's the 411, hun?
(What's the 411, hun?)
I know you got it going on
(Ayo, I got it going on)
[Verse 2]
As I sit back, relax
Steam a blunt, sip a Becks
Think about the sexy singers that I wanna sex
I'll probably go to jail
For fucking Patti LaBelle
Ooh, Regina Belle, she'd probably do me swell
Jasmine Guy was fly
Mariah Carey's kinda scary
Wait a minute, what about my honey, Mary?
Them jeans, they fittin' like a glove
I had a crush on you since Real Love
Hold your horses
I'ma show you who the boss of intercourse is
Sex, I'm taking no losses
Even groups like SWV and TLC
Can't see B.I.G. with telepathy
The recipe, a picture hardcore with a gun
Pimpin' ain't easy, but it's sure is fun
When it comes to nuts, I bust 'em one by one
So what's the 4-1-1, huh?
[Verse 3]
Said, yo, what's the 411, hun?
(What's the 411, hun?)
I know you got it going on
(Ayo, I got it going on)
I said, what's the 411, hun?
(What's the 411, hun?)
I know you got it going on
(Ayo, I got it going on)
[Verse 4]
Yeah, ****, what makes you different than the next ****?
Seen you last week, and your black ass couldn't speak
You try to play like mister all of that
But now you wanna come to me with some chit-chat
I don't have no time for no wham-bam, thank you ma'am
Gas me up, get me drunk, and hit the skins, and scram
The same old shit you pulled last week on Pam
I'm not having it, no, I'm not having it
[Verse 5]
You gotta do a lot more, and it's just how it be
I'm Mary Blige, and you just ain't running up in me
I need a man who's looking out with some security
So come correct with some respect, and then we'll see
So if you with it, then drop the seven digits
And I might just give you a call (Damn)
If you ain't with it, then don't waste your time at all
Biggie Smalls, and you don't stop
[Verse 6]
All my love is all I have (Yeah, something to funk to)
And my dreams are very special (I like the way it's going down)
All my life, I looked for you (Ooh, shit)
And today, your dreams come true (Yeah, man, come on)
You need me and I need you (Yeah, I need you)
Love and lust is kinda special (Yeah, let's keep going now)
Things you seem to do divine (Do it to me, do it to me)
This how the two combine (Oh, now keep it going)
I know our love was meant to be (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love is life and life is living (Yeah, come on, I like it)
[Verse 7]
Ah, I like
Yeah, I like
But check this, motherfuckers
That was What's the 4-1-1?
But '94 is here
We gon' have something new for y'all asses on this next album, man
Yeah, we gon' have something new for your asses
We gon' keep it funky
Yeah, it's a Bad Boy thing
Tumblin' dice, my man Rash' on the remix tip
Uh, yeah, big shout to the Uptown crew, uh
To all the people across the nation
Funk Nation that is, that supported the album
My man, Busta Rhymes, my man, Grand Puba, check it
Uh, yeah, Big Dre in the house
My man Buttnaked Tim Dawg, uh
Check it
Jodeci, uh, rock, rock on, yeah
Dave Hall, yeah, rock, rock on
