No Name
B.I.G. Lyrics

Yeah
Biggie starts singing with a casual affirmation

Everybody can't go where I'm going
Not everyone is able to attain the same level of success Biggie has reached, hence not everyone can follow his path

They don't know what I'm doing
Others don't understand the steps he takes to achieve success

Cause they don't even know what I'm on
Others are unaware of Biggie's true intentions

This shit would get tricky
The situation is complicated

On stage with it, they don't even know we got 50
The fact that Biggie has a big group on stage might be unknown to the audience

Niggas move too iffy
Some people do things in a suspicious way that could harm the cause

Mary Jane riding with me
Biggie is carrying marijuana with him

Light up and lift me
Marijuana is giving him a sense of comfort

Cold world, gotta zipped your coat, it's nippy
It's a harsh world, and you have to protect yourself from the coldness and harshness around you

This slope gets slippery
The path he's on is treacherous and things can get out of hand quickly

She can keep all that talk like she miss me
Someone who is talking can keep on doing that, but it doesn't affect him

I know she really a pick me, pick me
Someone is really trying to come into his life, and is being insistent upon it.

I don't care 'bout who running the city
Biggie is not concerned about who is in charge of the city or who the latest trendsetters are

Where the bag? Let's run up a Milli'
He is more concerned with securing a large sum of money and increasing his wealth.

You niggas never in the right place, right time
Other people are not in the position to be at the right place and at the right time in order to take advantage of opportunities.

I be in the room, Might run into...
Biggie will be present in the right place to run into people who can benefit him

Man fuck all the name drops
He doesn't care about hearing names, and is only concerned with results

Remember days had stains on my tank top
Recalling a time when Biggie was poor and would have stains on his clothes from not being able to afford a new outfit

On the go and I can't stop
Biggie is always busy and can't stop for anyone or anything.

Nor can I take you with me to the same spot
He can't bring anyone with him on this journey of success

Best to keep them out the business
It's best to keep other people out of business when working for success

I won't lay my head and break law out the same spot
He won't take risks by being involved in illegal activities where he lives

Oh you an amateur
Biggie is aware of inexperienced people in the industry

I can smell pack reeking thru the canister
He can tell if a drug dealer is carrying marijuana in their car, even if it's hidden behind layers of smell proof materials.

Sitting on a back street with a hammer tucked
Biggie is on a hidden street with a gun tucked in his waistband

Under the back seat, slide the handle up
He retrieves the gun quickly and subtly from under the back seat of his vehicle

Want the exact fee for what I'm bagging up
He wants to be paid the exact amount for the drugs he sells

I rather leave it with one of the youngin's and let them go have it up
He'd rather let a younger person do the work of selling the drugs and deal with the dangers associated with it.

Too close to call, but I'm getting a feeling
It's a close decision or situation, but he's getting a certain feeling about it

Not involved with hoe shit, no dealings
He's not involved in drama brought about by women, and doesn't let it affect him in any way.

Send the dogs if they don't clear what I'm billing
He'll take the necessary measures if people resist paying him what they owe him.

Well my nigga don't push it
He tells his friend not to push his luck.

Jump out, flame it, cook it
He's telling his friend to light something on fire, to cook something or send a signal

Bad bitch body, banging', book it
He sees a beautiful woman, and wants to hook up with her

They say Banks don't be on the Frontline
People don't expect Lloyd Banks to be in the frontline of the rap game

My whole life I was right there ducking the 1 time
Banks had been avoiding law enforcement for his whole life

Took money from you niggas in the lunch line
Banks used to take lunch money from people when he was younger

Now I'm on the road, doing shows off Punch-lines
Now that he's successful, he's doing shows based off the clever punchlines he creates.

Might drop in a week, I'm beat
He might release a new album in a week, but he's tired from the work it took to get to this point

But the streets in need
Despite his struggles, he's aware that the streets need his music

I see it's crunch time
He understands that it's time to really time to double down on his work

Yeah
Just a reaffirmation from Biggie

You niggas can't step in my domain
He tells others not to step into his area of expertise

Pockets filled with Romain
He has lots of money

Bambu filled with propane
He means a type of rolling paper is filled with marijuana that is extremely strong

A Man Has No Name
A reference to Game of Thrones; when Biggie says that he's beyond labels and is more than a name

Live from 1600
A reference to the White House and being the president, maybe also relating to his level of influence and power
