Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fuck that, I preach it, my nine reaches
The prestigious cats that speak this
Willie shit, flooded pieces
My hand releases, snatches
Smack ya cabbage, half-ass rappers shouldn't have it
So I grab it, never run, the outcome
Is usually a beatdown brutally
Fuck who you be or where you're from
West or East coast, squeeze toast
Leave most in the blood they laying in
What? What?
Them rings and things you sing about, bring 'em out
It's hard to yell when the barrel's in your mouth
It's more than I expected
I thought your jewels was rented
But they wasn't, so run it, cousin
I could chill, the heat doesn't
Ran up in your shell about a dozen
You never see bank like Frank White
Your hand clutching, your chest-plate contemplate
You 'bout to die, **** wait, keep yo' hand high
[Verse 2]
I don't brownnose out of town hoes
I'm up around fo' with the crowbar
To the five point oh
I get bagged, I'm John Doe, suspect
You ass like prime roastin, Calvin Klein clothes
Explode the pyros when Doc guest appear
I'm out there, I bought it with George Jetson here
Your time is near, so get your body dropped off
I stopped trustin' **** since Gotti got caught
It's Bricks keep your wrist covered or piss colored
By the waist got a gun as dark as Kris brother
I.C.U., my sheisty crew, like ice me too
I break your legs, leave your eyes slightly blue
The Doc is born with a grenade palm
I'm concurrent in your hood like a teenage mom
Yo Biggie (What, what), she havin' my baby
If I pull out the A.K., keep your hands high
[Verse 3]
This rule is so underrated
Actin' as if it can't happen, you're frontin'
Ain't no other kings in this rap thing
Biggie, a motherfuckin' rap phenomenon
This rule is so underrated
Actin' as if it can't happen, you're frontin'
Ain't no other kings in this rap thing
Biggie, a motherfuckin' rap phenomenon
[Verse 4]
I got a new mouth to feed, I'm due South with keys
Y'all pick seeds out y'all weed, I watch cowards bleed
Motherfucker please, it's my block with my rocks
Fuck that hip-hop, them one-two's, and you don't stops
Me and my **** Lance took Kim and Cee's advance
Bought ten bricks, four pounds of weed plants
From Branson, now we lampin' twelve room mansion
Bitches get naked off "Get Money", "Player's Anthem"
Don't forget , "One More Chance", my other hits, other shit
**** spit the counterfeit, robbery come naturally
In and out like fuckin' rapidly, pass the gat to me
Make his chest rest, where his back should be
Talking blasphemy
Blasting me, your family, rest in coffins often
Frank Wizzar, far from soft or fragilla
Play hard like Reggie Miller, rapper, slash dope, dealer
Slash gorilla, slash illest turned killer
[Verse 5]
Don't approach me with that rah-rah shit
You out of pocket
I take these adolescents back to Spofford
Mentally, my energy is like a figure eight
On it's side, that's infinity
Too many sicks ****, nickel nines bring the remedy
When you play the field, what's the penalty?
Unnecessary roughness, career ending injuries for suckers
Stuck on stupid, shoot 'em with a dart like cupid
Until they got love for my music
Star Wars, I'm Han Solo with three egos
And three charges, I got to C3PO's
This is Whoop-yo-ass Day, the sequel
Eyeball blower with no equal
**** swingin' swords in the war, that's my people
Sho' nuff, before I roll up, this is a hold up
Hand high, reach for the sky
I rep S.I., the un-pretty, word to Left Eye
New York City, put they weight on it
And who better for the job than Biggie?
The Notorious, Jesus, unbelievable rhyme that reaches
And touch individual, small frame buck and change
M.C. What's-Your-Name, tuck your chain
All about the fortune, fuck the fame, labels still extorting
Kick me when I'm down, but I'm up again, scorchin'
Hot, forcing my way up in the door
To kill the bullshit like a matador
Keep your hands high, what?
