[Notorious B.I.G (XL)]

[Verse One: Notorious B.I.G. (XL)]
Another day in the ghetto (yeah)
One look outside and I'm already upset yo
It look about a hundred-and-two
It's a Saturday and Biggie ain't got nuttin to do (nuttin to do)
Uhh, I'm interrupted by a phone ring
Sometimes I wish I never got the motherfuckin thing
"Hello hello? Can I speak to Biggie?"
Yo who dis? "Talisha!" Yo call back, I'm busy
Why don'tcha hit me on the box a little later
Washed up, got dressed, hits the elevator
Steps out, it's the same old scene
Dopefiend, crackfiend, eyewitness news team (yeah)
I seen a honey with a butt lookin butter soft
I know she looks much better with them clothes up off
Sittin all thick with the ruby red lipstick
That's the one I got to get with
[Chorus: XL]
I like, the way that you look, I was hopin we could
Maybe spend some time, there's so much that we can do
We can party all night, I can tell you're so right (so right)
From the way that you shine (yeah) I just wanna get with you
[Notorious B.I.G. (XL)]
Uhh.. can I get witcha, can I get witcha (can I get witcha)

Cause you got a big B-U-T-T (whoa-ooooh)
[Verse Two: Notorious B.I.G. (XL)]
She said, "If I get witchu
I gotta get witcha whole hood rat crew (ohhh)
Whatcha I think I do, sling skins for a livin?

[Verse Three: Notorious B.I.G (XL)]
To all the ladies in the house, oww
Uhh, uhh - ta-dow
I said walk me upstairs, cause I forgot my Phillies
She said "I don't care, just don't be actin silly"
I knew I had her trapped with my hardcore rap
And it wouldn't take a second 'fore I had her on her back
Twiddlin with the bra strap, threw on my Sillk CD
Cause "I wanna get freaky witchu!" (freaky witchu)
Lose control on the skins is all I can picture (I like)
Now I'm about to hitcha (yeahhhhhh)
[Chorus: w/ ad-libs]
[Notorious B.I.G. (XL)]
Can I get witcha, can I get witcha (can I get witcha)

The song "I like" by Clinton Sparks featuring rappers Notorious B.I.G. and XL is primarily about Biggie's pursuit of a woman he's physically attracted to. The opening lyrics suggest that it's just another day in the ghetto where Biggie looks outside and is already upset. He then receives a phone call from someone named Talisha who he tells to call back later since he's busy. Biggie then steps out and describes the same old scene of dopefiends and crackfiends. However, he spots a woman with a butt and ruby red lipstick that he finds attractive and wants to get with. The chorus follows where XL sings about liking the way the woman looks and how he hopes they can spend some time together. The song's overall lyrics express Biggie's sexual desires towards women, which is a common theme in many of his works.
