Young G's
Notorious B.I.G. ‎ Lyrics

Uh, check it out, uh
Pay attention, listen up

I steps in where the Mo's and the hoes at bay-bee!
I enter the place where the money and attractive women are

Fuck all that pretty shit
I'm rejecting all the superficial and glamorous things

Takin' it back to the gutter for you motherfuckers
Returning to the raw and gritty streets for the listeners

Niggas know the deal
People are aware of the situation

Niggas know who the Don is
People recognize me as the leader or boss

Live from Bedford-Stuyvesant, the livest one
Broadcasting from a neighborhood known for its liveliness and energy, I'm the most vibrant and talented

Peep game, uhh, what, what
Pay close attention and understand, you know?

Out of this world like Mars, when I spit these bars
My rap flow is so extraordinary, it's like being on another planet

Come fuck with these stars up in luxury cars
Join and party with the successful and famous people riding in expensive vehicles

We built them radars to stay free from the cops
We developed strategies to avoid police detection and stay out of trouble

Crucial choices to make, like A-C or the drop
Important decisions need to be made, such as choosing between air conditioning or convertible option in cars

Are we gonna stop? Shit man never my squad go broke
Are we going to quit? Hell no, my crew will never go bankrupt

Your squad arti-choke
Your team will choke and fail

Watch your circle vanish like cigar smoke
See your group of friends disappear like smoke dissipating from a cigar

Ain't no joke, when your ones don't show
It's no laughing matter when your partners don't support or show up

Nigga I know, might say 'Been There Done That' like Dre
I understand the feeling, similar to Dr. Dre's song 'Been There Done That'

Through hard work I earn the vault
Through dedication and effort, I accumulated wealth

Promise God to never look back or I turn to salt
I make a commitment to never dwell on the past or else suffer consequences

Got nice watches nice cars nice bitches and rings
I possess expensive watches, cars, attractive women, and jewelry

Guess it's safe to say a nigga like me got nice things
I can confidently state that I, a man like me, possess luxurious items

Can't relate to motherfuckers, who ain't go no cake
I cannot understand people who have no money

When you all fucked up, and can't get no break
When you're in dire straits and cannot catch a break

When your fake ass friends, don't help you out when you need it
When your phony friends refuse to assist you in times of need

Be on some real bullshit, politely tell you to beat it
Engage in deceitful behavior and politely ask you to leave

Fuck that, get your own nigga, don't ask me for shit
Forget that, be self-sufficient, don't rely on me for anything

That's what I did, now they all askin' for hits
That's what I did, now they all want favors or successful songs from me

Nigga it's on for the simple fact I let it be known
It's a given that I'm in control, I made that clear

We still fly but separately cause now I, charter my own
We are still successful, but we operate independently because now I organize my own business

Propellers, Goodfellas, leave all them playa haters jealous
With helicopter-like propellers, we, the elite crew, make our rivals envious

Billboard charts should tell us, they can't touch us
Our status on the Billboard charts confirms that no one can surpass us

Why niggas bring the ruckus?
Why do individuals cause conflicts or disturbances?

Because release day is bigger than Mandela's, motherfuckers
Because the day my music is released generates more excitement than Nelson Mandela's accomplishments

Just some ghetto boys
Simply some individuals from disadvantaged neighborhoods

Living in these ghetto streets, these ghetto streets
Residing in and dealing with the hardships of impoverished communities

And everyday they gotta fight to stay alive
Every single day, they must struggle and survive

It's just reality
That's the harsh truth of their lives

Yeah, make you a deal, check
Yes, let me propose an agreement, listen

These here's the dog years and motherfuckers don't shed
These times are tough and long-lasting, and people don't easily overcome them

I try to bring you life but motherfuckers want dead
I attempt to bring a positive message, but some individuals prefer negativity

So I travel with the babble, with the chrome, with the lead
Therefore, I carry and use weapons to protect myself

Cause when it's on, then it's on, the shots flowin' through your head
Because when a conflict arises, it quickly escalates, and bullets pierce through your skull

I been rich I been poor I saved and blown bread
I have experienced wealth and poverty, accumulating and recklessly spending money

Some say I been here before because of the way I zone
Some suggest that I have already endured similar situations due to my focused mindset

Some said, Jigga zone is like the fallin' of Rome
Some claim that my state of mind is reminiscent of the decline of the Roman Empire

Reoccurring, that he thinks like that cause he's observing
It repeatedly appears that I have such thoughts because I am observant

Won't be known until I'm gone and niggas study my bones
People won't fully comprehend my perspective until after my death, when they dissect my legacy

Mentally been many places, but I'm Brooklyn's own
Although I have traveled mentally to various states, I remain loyal and true to Brooklyn

In the physical, one seems, like a lost body
In person, I can appear disconnected or aimless

In fact my thoughts don't differ much from that of God body
In reality, my mindset aligns closely with spiritual and divine knowledge

But it's the odd shottie, that got cats, likening me
However, it's the unusual weapon I possess that makes people compare me

to the mob John Gotti, rap dudes bitin' me cause
to the infamous mob boss John Gotti, other rappers imitate or copy me because

I got it locked like the late Bob Marley
I have complete control, just like the late Bob Marley

Pardon me y'all, the great Bob Marley
Apologies to everyone, referring to the legendary Bob Marley

Solemnly we mourn, all the rappers that's gone
We mourn with solemnity for all the deceased rappers

Niggas that got killed in the field and all the babies born
Those who lost their lives in dangerous environments, and the newborns entering the world

Know they ain't fully prepared for this New World Order
Recognize they are not adequately equipped to handle the changes and challenges of the modern world

So I keep it ghetto like sunflower seeds and quarter waters
Therefore, I maintain a raw and authentic lifestyle, reminiscent of sunflower seeds and inexpensive beverages

You walk em through it, you know, talk em through it
You guide and educate them, providing explanations and advice

Know these beads is more than music whenever I talk to it
Understand that these words have deeper meaning beyond just music whenever I speak

Destined for greatness and y'all knew this, when I doubled the pie
I am meant to achieve greatness, and everyone recognized it when I multiplied my wealth

Had a shorty and a girdle comin' out of B-W-I (in school)
Had a girl who was dedicated and dependable since my school days, coming from Baltimore/Washington International Airport

I hated algebra but I loved to multiply
I disliked algebra, but I enjoyed multiplying money and success

And I told my nigga Big I'd be multi' before I die
I assured my friend Big that I would become wealthy before I die

It's gonna happen whether rappin' or clappin' have it your way
It will occur, whether through music or violence, choose your preferred method

Cause if that's my dough you're trappin', I'm clappin' your way
Because if you're attempting to steal my money, I will respond with violent force

Damn it feel good to see people up on it
It's an amazing feeling to witness others succeed and thrive

Flipped two keys in two weeks and didn't flaunt it
I discreetly sold a large amount of drugs in a short time without bragging

My brain is haunted, with mean dreams
My mind is filled with ambitious and ruthless aspirations

GS's with BB's on it, supreme schemes, to get Richer
Luxury cars with expensive rims, elaborate plans, all aiming to amass wealth

than Richie, quickly, niggas wanna hit me
than Richie Rich, swiftly, people desire to harm me

If they get me, dress my body in linen by Armani, check it
If they manage to kill me, dress my corpse in high-end Armani clothing, understand that

My lyrical carjack, make your brains splat
My rap flow is like stealing your vehicle, leaving your brain in shambles

High caliber gats is all I fuck with, now peep the rough shit
I only deal with powerful firearms, now observe the aggressive nature

in my circumference, mad bitches, with mad lucci
within my circle, numerous women and abundant money

Bulletproof vestes under they coochie
They conceal bulletproof vests beneath their clothing

Spittin' my Uzi, don't lose me, my trigga niggas represent
Firing my Uzi, don't abandon me, my loyal comrades embody the same mentality

Drivin dirty in J-30's gettin' bent
Operating and evading the law in stolen or illegal vehicles

And to my hit hoes, my murder mommies
And to my female associates involved in criminal activities

I be smokin' trees in Belize when they find me
I will relax and smoke cannabis in Belize when they eventually locate me

While you still killin' niggas with punany, like heiny
While you're preoccupied with casual sexual encounters, like a penis, engaging in destructive behavior

and Cyrus up in Cypress fuck you raw you on the floor with the virus
and having unprotected sex, like the Cyrus virus in Cypress, it leaves you helpless on the ground

While I just, slang coke, smoke pounds to choke
While I simply sell drugs and smoke large amounts of marijuana

Got lawyers watchin' lawyers so I won't go broke, now check it
I have multiple attorneys overseeing my legal matters to ensure I don't become financially ruined, now understand that

Them country niggas call me Frank White
Rural individuals refer to me as Frank White

I'm squirtin' off in my loft of course I know my shit's tight
I'm firing my weapon from my luxurious home, obviously, I know I'm skilled and exceptional

Sunrise open my eyes no surprise
As the sun rises, my eyes open without any astonishment

Got my shorty flyin' in with keys taped to her thighs
I have my partner smuggling drugs by concealing them on her thighs

With all the utensils, who hang my china thing
With various tools and equipment, she carries my valuable china merchandise

She half black half oriental eighty-six she got me rental
She is of mixed black and Asian heritage, at age 26, she got me a rental car

The situation ain't accidental
The circumstances are not coincidental

What? From a, from a young G's perspective
What? From the viewpoint of a young gangster

What? From a, from a young G's perspective
What? From the perspective of a young gangster

Just some ghetto boys
Simply some individuals from disadvantaged neighborhoods

Living in these ghetto streets, these ghetto streets
Residing in and dealing with the hardships of impoverished communities

And everyday they gotta fight to stay alive
Every single day, they must struggle and survive

It's just reality
That's the harsh truth of their lives
