Brandy feat. Big Pun and Fat Joe Lyrics

Brandy, Dog Child
Introducing Brandy and Dark Child, the producer.

Ma$e get Harlem on the rise
Ma$e represents Harlem and is helping to raise it up.

I went from helly hanson to mini mansions
I used to wear Helly Hanson clothing but now I live in mini mansions.

The girls in Aruba doing belly dancin'
I have enough money to travel to Aruba and watch girls belly dance.

Spent half of my advance on jars from Branson
I spent a lot of my money on jars from Branson to deal with my problems.

To make it through my circumstances
I needed help to get through my difficulties.

But you know I'm wiser now
Now I am smarter and make better decisions.

Move like Tarzan now
I move more confidently and boldly now.

Got a butter soft cover just to hide my pound
I got a cover to hide my gun.

Got a house in the valley come and find me now
I have enough money to buy a house in the Valley and hide out if needed.

Got enough dough to buy the town
I am extremely wealthy and could buy a town if I wanted to.

So I might give a six to my chick
I might buy my girl a Mercedes-Benz.

Benz to my mom
I might also buy my mother a Mercedes-Benz.

Crib so big it look like the cenedome
My house is so big it looks like a planetarium.

Give her a couch just to spill Henney on
I might buy a couch just for my girl to spill Hennessy on.

And been a don since lotto's and Benneton
I've been a boss since I won the lottery and wore Benetton clothing.

Some people say that I am not the same girl
Some people think I've changed.

They say I think that I am in my own world
They think that I live in my own reality.

What makes them think that I have changed, yeah
I haven't changed, and I wonder why people would think that.

A little dough cannot erase my problems
Money can't make all my problems go away.

Im just like you I have to try and solve them
I have to work through my problems just like everyone else.

Yes everything is quite the same
Everything is mostly the same for me.

I wonder why it's often said that my life's
I don't understand why people think my life is perfect.

A fairy tale and everything is so right
People think my life is like a fairy tale and nothing goes wrong.

My life is real so please don't get it twisted
My life is not perfect and has its ups and downs.

Problems the same and got to be dealt with
I have problems just like everyone else and have to deal with them.

These are the things I wish you knew, oh
I wish people knew the truth about my life.

Always in someone's eye so many questions why
I'm always in the public eye, and people have many questions about my life.

How is it to be down with me, with me
People wonder what it's like to be associated with me.

Afraid to express myself always me and someone else
I'm always with someone else and can't express myself fully.

I need to be free but it's not that easy
I want to be free but it's difficult when I'm always in the spotlight.

Yo, we can cut the truckin' short
Let's get straight to the point.

If it ain't about cake
If it's not about money.

I ain't sittin on top, I want a house on the lake
I'm not satisfied with where I'm at; I want more, even a house on the lake.

I'm that snotty nosed cat wit a new BM
I'm the same old me, even with a new BMW.

If you mess wit Brandy, I got to bruise your chin
Don't mess with Brandy or I'll fight you.

I be with Puff, the girls be like
When I'm with Puff Daddy, the girls are interested in me.

Who's your friend
They want to know who I am.

If I hit a chick once, she probably move me in
If I sleep with a girl once, she might want to date me.

So you gotta tell me right now
You need to choose one or the other.

Either you wit the cats who make the hits
Either you're with the people who make the music hits.

Or the one that see the chips
Or you're with the people who just want the money.

(Slow down Ma$e, you're killing Me)
Take it easy, Ma$e, you're doing too much.

But don't stop it
Keep going anyway.

What's the use of buying away
What's the point of buying things if you can't enjoy them?

If I'mma have to chop it
If I have to sell it later.

I used a leather lady till I learned her logic
I used a bulletproof vest until I learned why I needed it.

She only mess wit Mase, no the money ain't no object
She only wants to be with me, even if I don't have much money.

If it ain't Cris, he won't pop it
If it's not Cristal champagne, he won't drink it.

If it ain't platinum wit ice, he won't rock it
If it's not platinum jewelry with diamonds, he won't wear it.

If it don't cost 60, he don't drop it
If it's not expensive enough, he won't buy it.

If it don't come with TV's, he don't cop it
If it doesn't have TVs, he won't buy it.

Yeah, Brandy on top of the world
Brandy is on top and doing well.

Dark Child on top of the world
Dark Child, the producer, is also doing well.

Mase be on top of the world, what?
Ma$e is also doing well and on top of things.

Harlem World be on top of the world
Harlem World, the neighborhood, is also thriving.

M-A-$-E all over the world
Ma$e is known and respected all over the world.

Brandy, all over the world
Brandy is also known and respected globally.

All over the world
Both Ma$e and Brandy are recognized in many places worldwide.

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Excited affirmation

What, what
Expression of surprise or confusion

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what, what, what
Combination of excitement and disbelief or doubt
