Uh (uh), uh (uh), uh (c'mon)
Ha, sicker✦ than your average✦
Poppa✦ twist cabbage✦ off instinct
Niggas✦ don't think shit stink
Pink gators, my Detroit players
Timbs for my hooligans in Brooklyn✦ (that's right)
Dead right, if the head right, Biggie there e'ry✦ night
Poppa✦ been smooth since days of Underoos
Never✦ lose, never✦ choose to, bruise crews who
Do somethin' to us (come on), talk go through us (through us)
Girls walk to us, wanna✦ do us, screw us
Who us? Yeah, Poppa✦ and Puff (hehe)
Close like Starsky and Hutch, stick the clutch
Dare I squeeze three at your cherry✦ M-3 (take that, take that)
Bang every✦ MC easily,✦ busily✦ (take that, haha)✦
Recently, niggas✦ frontin' ain't sayin' nothin'✦ (nothin')✦
So I just speak my piece, keep my piece (come on, now)
Cubans with the Jesus✦ piece, with my peeps (thank you, God)
Packin',✦ askin',✦ "Who want it?" (who want it?)
You got it, nigga,✦ flaunt it
That Brooklyn✦ bullshit, we on it
Biggie, Biggie, Biggie, can't you see?
Sometimes✦ your words just hypnotize✦ me
And I just love your flashy✦ ways
Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)
Biggie, Biggie, Biggie (uh-huh),✦ can't you see? (Uh)
Sometimes✦ your words just hypnotize✦ me (hypnotize)✦
And I just love your flashy✦ ways (uh-huh)✦
Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (ha)
I put hoes in NY onto✦ DKNY (uh-huh)✦
Miami,✦ D.C. prefer✦ Versace (that's right)
All Philly✦ hoes know it's Moschino (c'mon)
Every✦ cutie wit a booty✦ bought a Coogi✦ (ha)
Now who's the real dookie? Meanin',✦ who's really✦ the shit?
Them niggas✦ ride dicks, Frank White push the six
Or the Lexus,✦ LX, four and a half
Bulletproof glass, tints if I want some ass
Gon' blast, squeeze first, ask questions last (haha)✦
That's how most of these so-called gangsters pass (bye-bye)
At last, a nigga✦ rappin'✦ bout blunts and broads
Tits and bras, ménage à trois, sex in expensive cars
I still leave you on the pavement✦
Condo✦ paid for (uh-huh),✦ no car payment (uh-uh)✦
At my arraignment, note for the plaintiff
Your daughter's tied up in a Brooklyn✦ basement✦
Face it, not guilty✦ (shh)
That's how I stay filthy✦ (not guilty)✦
Richer✦ than Richie, 'til you niggas✦ come and get me (come on)
Biggie, Biggie, Biggie, can't you see?
Sometimes✦ your words just hypnotize✦ me
And I just love your flashy✦ ways
Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)
Biggie, Biggie, Biggie (uh-huh),✦ can't you see? (Uh)
Sometimes✦ your words just hypnotize✦ me (hypnotize)✦
And I just love your flashy✦ ways (uh-huh)✦
Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)
I can fill ya wit' real millionaire shit (I can fill ya)
Escargot, my car go one-sixty, swiftly (come on)
Wreck it, buy a new one
Your crew run-run-run, your crew run-run
I know you sick of this, name brand nigga✦ wit'
Flows, girls say he's sweet like licorice (uh-huh)✦
So get with this nigga,✦ it's easy✦ (uh-huh)✦
Girlfriend, here's✦ a pen, call me 'round ten (ten)
Come through, have sex on rugs that's Persian (that's right)
Come up to your job, hit you while you workin'✦ (uh)
For certain Poppa✦ freakin',✦ not speakin'✦
Leave that ass leakin',✦ like rapper✦ demos✦ (ha)
Tell them hoes, take they clothes off slowly✦ (slowly)✦
Hit 'em wit' the force like Obi✦ (Obi)✦
Dick black like Toby✦ (Toby)✦
Watch me roam like Romey✦ (Romey)✦
Lucky✦ they don't owe me
Where the safe? Show me (say what?)
Homie (homie)
Biggie, Biggie, Biggie, can't you see?
Sometimes✦ your words just hypnotize✦ me
And I just love your flashy✦ ways
Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)

Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid
