[Verse 1: The Notorious B.I.G.]

When it comes^✦ to sex, I'm similar to the Thrilla in Manila^✦

Honeys^✦ call me "Bigga^✦ the Condom Filler"^✦

Whether it's stiff tongue or stiff dick

Biggie squeeze it to make shit fit, now check this shit

I got the pack of Rough Riders in the back of the Pathfinder

You know the epilogue by James^✦ Todd Smith

I get swift with the lyrical^✦ gift

Hit you with a dick, make your kidney^✦ shift

Here we go, here we go, but I'm not Domino^✦

I got the funk flow to make your drawers drop slow

So recognize the dick size in these Karl Kani^✦ jeans

I wear thirteens, know what I mean?

I'll fuck around^✦ and hit you with the Hennessy dick

Mess around^✦ and go blind, don't get to see shit (See shit)

The next batter,^✦ here to shatter your bladder

It doesn't matter,^✦ skinny^✦ or fat or light-skinned or black

Baby,^✦ I drop these Boricua mamis^✦ screaming ¡Ay papi!^✦

I love it when they call me Big Poppa^✦

I only^✦ smoke blunts if they rolled^✦ proper^✦

Look, I gotcha^✦ caught up with the drunk flow

Fuck tae kwon do, I tote a four-four

For niggas getting^✦ mad 'cause they bitch chose me

A big black motherfucker^✦ with G, you see

All I do is separate the game from the truth

Big bang boots from the Bronx to Bolivia

Getting^✦ physical^✦ like Olivia^✦ Newt

Tricks suck my clique dick all day with no trivia^✦

So give me a ho, a bankroll and a bag of weed

I'm guaranteed to fuck her 'til her nose bleed

Even^✦ if your new man's a certified mack

You'll get that H-Town in ya, you want that old thing back

[Chorus: Total & The Notorious B.I.G.]

Oh, Biggie, give me one more chance

I got that good dick, girl, you didn't know?

Oh, Biggie, give me one more chance

I got that good dick, girl, you didn't know?

Oh, Biggie, give me one more chance

I got that good dick, girl, you didn't know?

Oh, Biggie, give me one more chance

[Verse 2: The Notorious B.I.G.]

Is my mind playing tricks, like Scarface^✦ and Bushwick

Willie D, having^✦ nightmares of girls killing^✦ me?

She mad because^✦ what we had didn't last

I'm glad because^✦ her cousin^✦ let me hit the ass

Fuck the past, let's dwell on the 500SL, the E&J and ginger^✦ ale

The way my pockets swell to the rims with Benjamins

Another honey's^✦ in the crib? Please, send her in

I fuck non-stop, lick my lips a lot

Used^✦ to lick the clits a lot, but licking clits had to stop

'Cause y'all don't know how to act when the tongue go down below^✦

Peep the funk flow

Really,^✦ though, I got the cleanest,^✦ meanest^✦ penis^✦

You never^✦ seen this stroke of genius

So take off your Timb boots and your body^✦ suit

I mean the spandex and hit my man next

Sex get rougher when it come to the nut buster^✦

Pussy^✦ crusher, black nasty^✦ motherfucker^✦

I don't chase 'em, I replace^✦ 'em

And if I'm caressing^✦ 'em I'm undressing^✦ 'em

Fuck what you heard, who's the best in New York?

Fulfilling^✦ fantasies without that nigga^✦ Mr. Roarke

Or Tattoo,^✦ I got you wrapped around^✦ my dick

And when I nut I got to split

Shit, backshots is my position^✦

I got you wishing for an intermission,^✦ fuck the kissin'^✦

Lickin'^✦ down to your belly^✦ button,^✦ I ain't frontin'

They don't call me big for nuttin'^✦ all of a sudden^✦

[Chorus: Total]

Oh, Biggie, give me one more chance

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"You know the epilogue by James Todd Smith"

① A reference to LL Cool J (James Todd Smith) and his album '14 Shots to the Dome' or his general discography.② Playing on the idea of an 'epilogue' as the final act or the conclusion of the sexual encounter Biggie is describing.

"I'll fuck around and hit you with the Hennessy dick / Mess around and go blind, don't get to see shit"

① Biggie claims his performance is so intense or intoxicating it is akin to drinking heavily.② A direct warning that his sexual potency is so overwhelming it renders the partner physically incapacitated (blind/unable to see).

Exceptional command of rhythmic pocket and syncopation

High density of internal rhyme chains that maintain flow while transitioning between topics

Charismatic delivery that sells the humor of the braggadocio

Effective use of pop-culture callbacks (Thrilla in Manila, LL Cool J reference)

Occasional reliance on repetitive subject matter (size/sexual prowess)

Some metaphors are functionally literal rather than layered
