Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Junior M.A.f.i.a., uh (hehe, mm)
Uh (I like this) yeah, yeah
Nine-fo' (keep bangin')
To all the ladies in the place with style and grace
Allow me to lace these lyrical douches, in your bushes (uh)
Who rock grooves and make moves with all the mommies
The back of the club, mackin' hoes, my crew's behind me (uh)
Mad question askin', blunt passin', music blastin'
But I just can't quit
Because one of these honies Biggie gots ta creep with
Sleep with, keep the ep a secret, why not
Why blow up my spot 'cause we both got hot?
Now check it, I got more Mack than Craig and in the bed
Believe me sweetie I got enough to feed the needy
No need to be greedy I got mad friends with Benz's
C-notes by the layers, true fuckin' players (uh)
Jump in the Rover and come over
Tell your friends jump in the GS3
I got the chronic by the tree, 'cause
(I love it when you call me Big Poppa)
Throw your hands in the air, if you's a true player
(I love it when you call me Big Poppa)
To the honies gettin' money playin' niggas like dummies
(I love it when you call me Big Poppa)
Ya got a gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place (why?)
'Cause I see some ladies tonight
That should be havin' my baby (uh), baby (uh)
Straight up honey really I'm askin'
Most of these niggas think they be mackin', but they be actin'
Who they attractin' with that line, "What's your name, what's your sign?"
Soon as he buy that wine I just creep up from behind
And ask what your interests are, who you be with
Things to make you smile, what numbers to dial
You gon' be here for a while, I'm gon' go call my crew
You go call your crew
We can rendezvous at the bar around two
Plans to leave, throw the keys to 'Lil Cease
Pull the truck up, front, and roll up the next blunt
So we can steam on the way to the telly go fill my belly
A t-bone steak, cheese eggs and Welch's grape
Conversate for a few, 'cause in a few, we gon' do
What we came to do, ain't that right boo (true)
Forget the telly we just go to the crib
And watch a movie in the jacuzzi smoke L's while you do me
(I love it when you call me Big Poppa)
Throw your hands in the air, if you's a true player
(I love it when you call me Big Poppa)
To the honies gettin' money playin' niggas like dummies, uh
(I love it when you call me Big Poppa)
Ya got a gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place (why?)
'Cause I see some ladies tonight
That should be havin' my baby, baby (uh)
(How ya livin' Biggie Smalls?)
In mansion and Benz's givin' ends to my friends and it feels stupendous
Tremendous cream, fuck a dollar and a dream
Still tote gats strapped with infrared beams (what?)
Choppin O's, smokin' lye an' Optimo's
Money hoes and clothes all a nigga knows (all a nigga knows)
A foolish pleasure, whatever
I had to find the buried treasure (for what?), So grams I had to measure
However living better now, Gucci sweater now
Drop top BM's, I'm the man girlfriend
Honey check it (check it)
Tell your friends, to get with my friends (your friends)
And we can be friends
Shit we can do this every weekend (that's right)

Puff Daddy, Biggie Smalls, Junior M.A.F.I.A, represent baby, baby, uh
The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Big Poppa" is a classic hip hop song that was released in 1995, the second single from his album "Ready to Die". The song is essentially an ode to the lavish lifestyle that Biggie was experiencing at the time. In the opening verse, he addresses the ladies in the crowd, proclaiming his position as a desirable man who has the means to make them feel luxurious. Biggie proclaims that he is not one of the pretenders, but a "true" player who throws caution to the wind in search of his ideal woman.
The song was a massive hit, debuting at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and it went on to become one of the defining songs of 90s hip hop. Biggie's laid-back flow perfectly complemented the smooth, soulful sample of the Isley Brothers' track "Between the Sheets," creating a timeless feel that still resonates with audiences today. The lyrics are a vivid depiction of partying, clubbing, and hanging out with friends, painting a picture of a carefree and indulgent lifestyle. Biggie's self-assured delivery demonstrates his swagger and confident outlook on life.

That's fairly selfish of you, eh? there is simply nothing wrong with this comment and why would they stop because some random person on the internet told them to? Also, I don't understand how this is a problem. There are two possibilities:
Either you're on your period or you're just a complete loser. Now, fucking shut up for once.
