Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yo, check it, call Lil' Cease
Tell that muhfucka
To bring me some muhfuckin' weed
For this hospital, man, fuck that
(No-no-no-notorious)
[Verse 2]
Tell that reporter to go pick up ten thousand from Dez
And go take about like twenty G's from Gino
(No-no-no-notorious)
[Verse 3]
Tell that motherfucker to get this **** next door up out of here
That **** be snorin' all night, I can't sleep
(No-no-no-notorious)
[Verse 4]
And call that big butt nurse
With the long hair to come suck my dick
(No-no-no-notorious) (Bad Boy Big, come on)
[Verse 5]
The doctor said I need about three weeks of recovery
But the nurses that's lovin' me
Sayin' the best part of the day is my half
Feedin' me breakfast and givin' me a sponge bath
(Notorious)
[Verse 6]
**** say I died, dead in the streets
****, I'm gettin' high, gettin' head on the beach
Chillin', sittin' on about half a million
With all my ****, all my guns, all my women
The next two years, I should see about a billion
All for the love of drug dealin'
Got no love for the other side, fuck them tricks
Any repercussion, Junior MAFIA spit clips
(Notorious)
[Verse 7]
All the time, Big Poppa kick the war rhymes
Raw flows and that's how it goes
[Verse 8]
–torious
Come on
We are, we are
No-no-no-notorious
He is, he is
No-no-no-notorious
[Verse 9]
This for my **** slingin' things, had my ring encaged
Truck, necklace, igloo, ring and things
For the bitches who see them rims spin and grin
That shit with the V-trim that win
And the inaugural silver spurs of rap
On the road to the riches, more furs to drag
More **** to kill than birds to bag
Hit the jeweler and splurge the tab, uh
Hops out the truck like, "Trick, what up?"
Call me Sean if you suck, call me gone when I nut
That's the end of us, get your friend to fuck
Untwist her and bend her up, you know the deal
**** talkin' real greasy on some ballin' shit (That's right)
Funny how quick these pricks forget (Come on)
Actin' like I ain't the reason they traded they shit
Switched that five, copped that six (That's right)
It's all good, you know who the clone is
Fuck the Joneses, **** tryin' to keep up with the Combses
[Verse 10]
No-no-notorious
We are, we are
No-no-no-notorious (What's his name?)
He is, he is
No-no-no-notorious (Come on, what's his name?)
[Verse 11]
Who that queen bitch? Keep her glass filled to the rim
The notorious K-I to the M
That's me on MTV, no doubt
Titty out like, what? I don't give a fuck
Y'all know my attitude, can't stand my cologne
Then stay your ass home, you and your chaperone
Things done changed, but we continue to reign
As the King and the Queen of hip-hop, me and B.I.
Frank White still listenin' to all the attention
I'm by his side with the chrome fifth, playin' my position
Sexy, young thing from the ghetto
That bitch rockin' mics in high-heel stilletos
We takin' over like Francis
Switchin' our styles like the hottest new dances
See, I let y'all live to stack a little paper
Be glad I pushed my album back, I did y'all hoes a favor
(Notorious)
(She did you a favor)
(Come on now, yeah)
[Verse 12]
–are, we are
No-no-no-notorious (What's his name?)
He is, he is (Bad Boy, baby, D.R., come on)
No-no-no-notorious
We are, we are (Queen Bee, baby, we are, come on)
No-no-no-notorious
He is, he is (B.I.G., baby, he is, come on)
No-no-no-notorious
[Verse 13]
We are, we are
Yeah, Bad Boy, 2000
No-no-no-notorious
B.I.G. born again and he won't stop (He is, he is)
No-no-no-notorious ('Cause he can't stop)
We are, we are
No-no-no-notorious (Brooklyn, baby)
He is, he is (New York)
No-no-no-notorious
