Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, uh, uh
Ain't no shook hands in Brooklyn
Auto fatigued then fatigue the enemy
Look man you wanna see me locked up, shot up
Moms crotched up over the casket screamin' bastard
Cryin', know my friends is lyin'
I know who killed em' filled em
With them luggers from they rugers on they deserts
Dyin' aint the s***
But it's pleasant kinda quiet
Watch my n****s bring the riot

Came from the heavens just to sing a song for you
To the rhythm of my love for you,
And now it's beating slow, and you know
This the end of the road when I sing this slow song for you you
And love was nothin' but another gun for you
And I would hide it in my hopeless soul
I'm not afraid to go down the road where we go,
I don't know, you can hear them callin, don't you,
When the angels call like

Yo
If you don't wanna stay you can goo
But since love don't live here no more
The angels are flying so low,
Singing to you (don't you hear me callin you)
He's the one you love (cause I hear them callin me)
And he's the one you trust (now that time is almost through)
Time is runnin out (there's nothin left to do)
When they're callin you
When the angels call like (i answer)

Calling, for you, I will tell the angels now
Let them turn back in to stone
I do, love you, it's true
Fire, climbing
We ignore the angels call
They were warnings after all
It's cool, if I, pick you
When the angel's call like

Yo
If you don't wanna stay you can goo
But since love don't live here no more
The angels are flying so low,
Singing to you (don't you hear me callin you)
He's the one you love (cause I hear them callin me)
And he's the one you trust (now that time is almost through)
Time is runnin out (there's nothin left to do)
When they're callin you
When the angels call like (i answer)

Uh, uh, uh
Ain't no shook hands in Brooklyn
Auto fatigued then fatigue the enemy
Look man you wanna see me locked up, shot up
Moms crotched up over the casket screamin' bastard
Cryin', know my friends is lyin'
I know who killed em' filled em
With them luggers from they rugers on they deserts




Dyin' ain't the s*** but it's pleasant
Kinda quiet watch my n****s bring the riot

april powell Puff lured Biggie to that party he died at after
Now he's worth almost A Billion Dollars
everybody gotta do the math
It was definitely a set up from Puff:

1) D-Roc had to keep his mind clear that time so he did no drinking & no smoking. He sat directly behind BIG so im sure his job was to position BIG at the spot where he is suppose to be sitting & give the killers their location at all times so they know where to be at. D-Roc wears a yellow shirt so he’s easy to be spotted. Where ever D-Roc is at....biggie is close by.

2) Puff always keeping Genes mind occupied with many girls to remember to keep Gene distracted from derailing the assassination plan from going wrong.

Black Gesus from the Mob Piru of death row even said it...”
i thought that shit was strange...i think they did that shit themselves. Because if it was a Compton N***a who killed Biggie...i would’ve known about it. You know im a real street N***a & ain’t nobody from around here did that shit”.
"IN THIS LAND OF SNAKES..WHERE THE HAND YOU SHAKE..MAY VERY WELL BE THE SAME HAND THAT'S PLANNING YOUR WAKE" ! SINCERELY, WHAT'S YOURS IS ALSO MINE WHEN YOU DIE..BECAUSE I OWN ALL YOUR MASTERS & PUBLISHING..... LOVE FOREVER EVILLY, DIDDY.."IN YOUR OWN BLOOD". Big was broke so it is safe to assume that big needed money at the time to continue work on Bigs moms house 🏡 etc..if this is true then Big would have made the sacrifice to come to Cali under puffs wishes to get that money under any means nececary riiight... thus leading to his demise.... That's why they both were in separate vehicles when Biggie was shot in the drive by. BIGGIE said on live TV he is scared Puff: He never told me his life was in danger / every man has a Judas Iscariot in their life. Every man will be betrayed at some point; and those who end up betraying us are always the ones whom we deem as family or friends . Those who are closest to us and know everything about us, have the true power to hurt us

It’s damn shame / R.I.P Notorious B.I.G 72-97
