Benjamins feat. Lil Kim
J.PERIOD & B.I.G. Lyrics

Now, what y'all wanna do?
What are your desires and aspirations?

Wanna be ballers? Shot-callers?
Do you want to be successful and influential?

Brawlers, who be dippin' in the Benz wit the spoilers
Fighters who ride in luxurious cars with modifications

On the low from the Jake in the Taurus
Quietly hiding from the law enforcement in a less flashy car

Tryin' to get my hands on some Grants like Horace
Attempting to acquire a significant amount of money like basketball player Horace Grant

Yeah livin' the raw deal, three course meals
Living a difficult life, but still enjoying extravagant meals

Spaghetti, fettuccine, and veal
Specific types of pasta and meat dishes

But still, everything's real in the field
Despite the hardships, the experiences are genuine

And what you can't have now, leave in your will
Whatever you can't acquire at the moment, pass it down in your inheritance

But don't knock me for tryin' to bury
But don't criticize my efforts in trying to bury

Seven zeros, over in Rio Dijanery
A large sum of money, seven figures, in Rio de Janeiro

Ain't nobody's hero, but I wanna be heard
I may not be a hero, but I desire to have my voice heard

On your Hot 9-7 everyday, that's my word
Consistently being played on the popular radio station Hot 97

Swimmin' in women wit they own condominiums
Surrounded by successful women who own their own properties

Five plus Fives, who drive Millineums
Attractive women who have a combination of physical beauty and financial wealth, driving luxury cars from the early 2000s

I get a fifty pound bag of ooh for the mutts
I obtain a large quantity of drugs for drug dealers

Five carats on my hands wit the cuts
Wearing expensive diamond jewelry on my fingers

And some'n European figures, fuck the clutch, what?
And some European cars without manual transmissions, who needs the clutch?

I want a all chromed out, fuck bein a broke nigga
I desire a fully chrome-plated car, instead of being financially struggling

Drinkin' malt liquor, drivin' a Bro' Vega
Consuming cheap alcoholic beverages while driving an old Chevrolet Vega

I'm wit Mo' sippers, watched by gold diggers
I associate with wealthy individuals while being observed by people who are only interested in my money

Rockin' Bejor denims, wit gold zippers
Wearing expensive Bejor denim jeans with gold zippers

Lost your touch we kept ours, poppin' Cristals
While you lost your influence, we maintained ours and continue to celebrate with Cristal champagne

Freakin' the three-quarter reptiles
Engaging in sexual activities with attractive women who wear reptile skin clothing

Enormous cream, forest green, Benz jeep
Abundant wealth, a dark green Mercedes-Benz SUV

For my team so while you sleep I'ma scheme
I do it for my group, so while you are unaware, I will devise plans to achieve success

We see through, that's why nobody never gon' believe you
We are perceptive, that's why nobody will ever believe your deceitful words

You should do what we do, stack chips like Hebrews
You should imitate our actions, accumulating money like Jewish people

Don't let the melody intrigue you
Don't let the music captivate or deceive you

Cause I leave you, I'm only here
Because I will abandon you, I am only present

For that green paper which the eagle
For the money represented by the image of the eagle on US currency

I'm strictly tryin' to cop those, colossal sized Picasso's
I am solely focused on acquiring large-sized paintings by Picasso

And have papi flip coke outside Delgado's
And have my contact sell cocaine outside the Delgado's establishment

Mienda, with cash flowin' like Sosa
My income is flowing abundantly, similar to baseball player Sammy Sosa

And the Latin chick tranportin' in the chocha
And the Latina woman transporting drugs in her vagina

Stampedin' over, pop Mo's, never sober
Overwhelming others, consuming Moet champagne, never being sober

Lex and Range Rovers dealin weight by Minnesota
Driving luxury Lexus and Range Rover vehicles while engaging in drug trafficking activities in Minnesota

Avoidin NARC's wit camcorders and Chevy Novas
Evading narcotics officers equipped with video cameras and driving inconspicuous Chevrolet Novas

Stash in the buildin' wit' this chick named Alona
Hiding illicit substances in a building with a woman named Alona

From Daytona, when I was young I wants to bone her
From Daytona Beach, when I was young, I desired to have sexual intercourse with her

But now I only hit chicks that win beauty pageants
But now I only engage in sexual relationships with women who are winners of beauty pageants

Trickin', they takin me skiing, at the Aspens
Engaging in prostitution, where they accompany me on skiing trips in Aspen, Colorado

Uh, gangsta mental, stay poppin' Cristal
Having a gangster mindset, always drinking Cristal champagne

Pack a black pist-al in the Ac' Coupe that's dark brown
Carrying a black pistol in the dark brown Acura coupe

Pinky-ringin, gondolas wit the man singin'
Wearing a pinky ring, traveling in gondolas with a man singing

Italian music down the river wit your chick clingin'
Listening to Italian music while cruising down the river with your girlfriend holding onto you

To my bizzalls, player you mad false
To my business associates, you are extremely deceitful

Actin' hard when you as pussy as RuPaul
Portraying yourself as tough, when you are as weak as the drag queen RuPaul

Wanna bumble wit the Bee hah?
Do you want to provoke and antagonize me?

Bzzz, throw a hex on a whole family
Buzz, placing a curse on an entire family

Dressed in all black like 'The Omen'
Wearing all black clothing like the characters in the movie 'The Omen'

Have your friends singin 'This is for my homey'
Causing your acquaintances to sing a tribute song for you

And you know me, from makin' niggas so sick
And you are familiar with me because I make people incredibly jealous

Floss in my 6 with the Lex on the wrist
Showing off my BMW 6 Series car while wearing a Rolex watch

If it's Murder, you know She Wrote it
If a murder occurs, you know the female artist She (referring to herself) is responsible

German Luger for your ass bitch, deep throated
Using a German Luger firearm to threaten your life, metaphorically implying deep danger

Know you wanna fill the room cause it's platinum coated
I know you desire to have a lavish lifestyle because it is coated in platinum

Take your pick, got a firearm you shoulda toted, suck a dick
Choose your fate, since you should have brought your own gun, go suck a penis

All that bullshit you kick, playa hatin' from the sideline
All of the lies you spread, displaying jealousy from the sidelines

Get your own shit, why you ridin' mine?
Acquire your own possessions, why are you copying mine?

I'm, a Goodfella kinda lady
I am a woman with the qualities of a member of the Italian-American mafia

Stash 380's and Mercedes, Puffy hold me down baby!
Hiding small pistols and expensive Mercedes cars, relying on support from Puff Daddy

Only female in my crew, and I kick shit
I am the only woman in my group, and I excel in my activities

Like a nigga do, with a trigga too, fuck you
Performing tasks similar to men, including handling firearms, expressing disregard towards the listener

Yeah, yeah, uh, uh, uh!
Expressing agreement and enthusiasm

I been had skills, Cristal spills
I have possessed skills for a long time, spilling expensive Cristal champagne

Hide bills in Brazil, about a mill' to ice grill
Concealing money in Brazil, having approximately one million dollars to show off

Make it hard to figure me, liquor be, kickin' me
Difficult to understand my true nature, alcohol stimulating me

In my asshole, uh, undercover, 'Donnie Brasco'
In my behind, disguised like the character 'Donnie Brasco'

Lent my East coast girl, the Bentley to twirl
Allowed my girlfriend from the East coast to drive my Bentley car for enjoyment

My West coast shorty, push the chrome 740
My girlfriend from the West coast drives a chrome-plated BMW 740

Rockin Redman and Naughty, 'Oh where my kitty kat?'
Listening to Redman and Naughty by Nature, asking where my woman's vagina is

Half a brick of yea, in the bra, where her titties at
Half a kilogram of drugs concealed in her bra, where are her breasts?

And I'm livin' that, whole life, we push weight
And I am living that lifestyle, where we engage in drug trafficking

Fuck the state pen, fuck hoes at Penn State
Disregard prison, having sexual relationships with promiscuous women at Penn State University

Listen close it's Francis, the Praying Mantis
Pay close attention, it's Francis, a metaphorical praying mantis

Attack with the Mac, my left hand spit, right hand
Attack with a Mac-10 firearm, my left hand shooting, while my right hand...

Grip on the whip, for the smooth getaway
Holding onto the steering wheel of the car, ensuring a successful escape

Playa haters get away or my lead will spray
People who envy me should flee or else I will shoot them

Squeeze off til I'm empty, don't tempt me
Continuously shooting until I run out of ammunition, do not provoke me

Only, to Hell I send thee, all about the Benji's
Exclusively, I send you to Hell, it's all about the money
