PROBLEM
Notorious B.I.G Ft. 2 Pac Big L & Eminem Lyrics

Now, who's hot who not
Who is popular and who is not?

Tell me who rock who sell out in the stores
Who is able to put on a good show and who is selling out albums in stores?

You tell me who flopped who copped the blue drop
Who failed in the music industry and who bought a blue convertible?

Who jewels got robbed who's mostly Goldie down
Who got robbed of their jewelry and who is a flashy gold-wearing guy?

To the tube sock, the same ol pimp
Referring to a stereotypical pimp who wears tube socks as part of his attire.

Mase, you know ain't nothing change but my limp
Mase is saying that he is still the same person except for his swagger (limp).

Can't stop till I see my name on a blimp
I will continue to work hard until my name is so famous that it's on a blimp.

Guarantee a million sales pulling all the love
I guarantee that I will sell a million albums and earn the love of all my fans.

You don't believe in Harlem World nigga double up
If you don't believe that I'll be successful (in Harlem World), then I'll prove you wrong by being even more successful.

We don't play around it's a bet lay it down
We are serious about our success, let's make a bet on it.

Nigga didn't know me ninety-one bet they know me now
People didn't know who I was in 1991 but they certainly know me now.

I'm the young Harlem nigga with the Goldie sound
I'm the young guy from Harlem with a very flashy sound.

Can't no PHD niggas hold me down, Cooter
No educated people can hold me back from my goals.

Schooled me to the game, now I know my duty
Somebody taught me about the music industry and now I know my responsibilities.

Stay humble stay low blow like Hootie
I must remain humble and stay out of trouble.

True pimp niggas spend no dough on the booty
A true pimp doesn't spend money on women.

And then ya yell there go Mase there go your cutie
As I'm walking around with my woman, people recognize me and my pretty girl.

I don't know what, they want from me
I am not sure what people are expecting from me.

It's like the more money we come across
It seems that the more money we make,

The more problems we see
the more problems come to us.

Yeah yeah, aha, I'm the C-to-the-A-to-the-D-D-Y
I am the person who goes by the name of Caddy.

Know you'd rather see me die than to see me fly
I know that you would prefer to see me fail rather than succeed.

I call all the shots
I am in charge and make all the important decisions.

Rip all the spots, rock all the rocks
I dominate all the music and show performance spots, and wear the best jewelry.

Cop all the drops, I know you thinking now's
I buy all the expensive cars and I know you are envious.

When all the balling stops, nigga never
Even when I'm not doing well, I will never give up my flashy lifestyle.

Home gotta call me on the yacht
My home phone can only reach me when I am on my yacht.

Ten years from now we'll still be on top
We will still be successful ten years from now.

Yo, I thought I told you that we won't stop
I thought I already told you that we will not give up.

Now what you gonna do when it's cool
What will you do when everything is better?

Bag a money much longer than yours
I will earn much more money than you will ever make.

And a team much stronger than yours, violate me
I have a much stronger team than yours and you cannot mess with me.

This'll be your day, we don't play
This will be the day that I am better than you, and I am serious about this.

Mess around be D.O.A., be on your way
If you mess around with me, you will be dead on arrival and need to leave.

Cause it ain't enough time here, ain't enough lime here
I don't have time for you, and there isn't enough room for you either.

For you to shine here, deal with many women
I won't let you be successful, and you won't be able to get with many women.

But treat dimes fair, and I'm
But if you do treat attractive women fairly, then I

Bigger than the city lights down in Times Square
I am more significant than the bright lights in Times Square.

Uhh, uhhh
This is a verbal expression of some kind.

No info, for the, DEA
The DEA doesn't have enough information about me to catch me doing anything illegal.

Federal agents mad cause I'm flagrant
The federal agents are angry because I am doing something that is very noticeable.

Tap my cell, and the phone in the basement
The federal agents are listening to my phone conversations, even those I have in the basement.

My team supreme, stay clean
My team is excellent and we don't get involved in anything illegal.

Triple beam lyrical dream, I be that
I am a lyrical genius, and am known for it.

Cat you see at all events bent
I am always in attendance at events and I am always a little bit tipsy.

Gats in holsters girls on shoulders
I carry guns in my holsters and have women on my shoulders.

Playboy, I told ya, being mice to me
I have told people before, I don't like it when people act weak around me.

Bruise too much, I lose, too much
If I get too involved in fights, and am not careful, then I could end up losing everything.

Step on stage the girls boo too much
As I get on stage, I hear too many women booing.

I guess it's cause you run with lame dudes too much
I think it's because you hang out with people who aren't cool.

Me lose my touch, never that
I will never lose my talent for music.

If I did, ain't no problem to get the gat
Even if I do lose my talent, I can always rely on my guns to stay successful.

Where the true players at?
Where are the legitimate, serious people that want to win?

Throw your rollies in the sky
Raise your fancy watches up in the sky.

Wave em side to side and keep their hands high
Wave the watches back and forth and keep hands up in the air.

While I give your girl the eye, player please
I am going to check out your girlfriend, but please do not worry about it.

Lyrically, niggas see, B.I.G.
When it comes to lyrics, I am the best in the industry.

I am really good at rapping, and have even won platinum status for my songs.

If you try to compete with me, you will definitely lose.

What's going on?
I'm curious about what is happening right now.

What's going on?
Hey, seriously, what's happening?
