Kick In The Door
Notorious B.I G Lyrics

Your reign on the top was short like leprechauns
Your time on top was brief and unremarkable

As I crush so-called willies, thugs, and rapper-dons
I assert my dominance over those who claim to be tough or successful in the rap game

Get in that ass, quick fast, like ramadan
I will attack and defeat my enemies swiftly and without mercy

Its that rap phenomenon Don-Dadda, fuck Poppa
I am the reigning king of the rap game, and I do not respect any competition

You got ta, call me, Francis M.H. White
My name is Francis M.H. White, and you will address me as such

Intake light tokes, tote iron
I use marijuana casually but carry a gun for protection

Was told in shootouts, stay low, and keep firin'
I have experience in gun fights and know to protect myself by staying low and firing back

Keep extra clips for extra shit
I am always prepared with extra ammunition in case of danger

Who's next to flip, on that cat with that grip on rap
Who will be the next to challenge me for my position atop the rap game?

The mo shady, (Tell em!) Frankie baby
I am a shady and unpredictable figure, but also charismatic and beloved by my fans

Ain't no telling where I may be
I am unpredictable and could show up anywhere at any time

May see me in D.C. at Howard Homecoming
I might make an appearance at a college homecoming event in Washington D.C.

With my man Capone, dumbing, fucking something
I will be enjoying the company of my friend Capone and possibly pursuing romantic interests

You should know my steelo
You should be familiar with my style and approach

Went from ten G's for blow to thirty G's a show
I used to make ten thousand dollars from selling drugs, but now I make thirty thousand dollars per concert

To orgies with hoes I never seen before
I now have enough money and fame to partake in sexual encounters with many women I have never met before

So, Jesus, get off the Notorious Penis, before I squeeze and bust
Stop obsessing over my fame and success, or I will take action against you

If the beef between us, we can settle it
If we have a problem, we can resolve it through conflict

With the chrome and metal shit
Using guns and other weapons

I make it hot, like a kettle get
I add energy and intensity to any situation, like a boiling kettle

You're delicate, you better get, who sent ya?
You are weak and vulnerable, you should leave before things get worse. Who sent you to challenge me?

You still pedal shit, I got more rides than Great Adventure
You are still struggling to make a name for yourself, while I have achieved great success and fame

On ya mark, get set, when I spark, ya wet
Get ready for trouble, because when I start firing my gun, you will be in danger

Look how dark it get when you're marked for death
You will understand the severity of your situation when you realize that you are at risk of being killed

Should I start your breath or should I let you die
I have the power to decide whether to kill you or let you suffer

In fear you start to cry, ask why
You will be scared and wonder why this is happening to you

Lyrically I'm worshiped, don't front, the word sick
I am highly respected for my skills as a rapper, and my lyrics are often described as amazing

You cursed it, but rehearsed it
You may criticize my work, but you only wish you could create something as great as what I have made

I drop unexpectedly like bird shit
I release new work suddenly and at unexpected times

You herbs get stuck quickly for royalties and show money
Other rappers may struggle to make money from album sales and concerts

Don't forget the publishing, I punish 'em, I'm done with them
Don't forget the importance of songwriting credit, and I will punish those who try to take credit for my work

Son, I'm surprised you run with them
I am surprised that you associate with such weak and talentless rappers

I think they got cum in them 'cause they nothing but dicks
I believe that they are obsessed with sexual conquests and are not true artists

Trying to blow up like nitro and dynamite sticks
They are attempting to achieve great success quickly and explosively

Mad I smoke hydro, rock diamonds that's sick
Others are envious of my luxurious lifestyle, including my use of marijuana and expensive jewelry

Got paid off my flow, rhyme with my own clique
I have made a lot of money from my rapping skills, and I work primarily with my own group of colleagues

Take trips to Cairo, laying with your bitch
I am wealthy enough to travel to exotic locations and have sex with other people's partners

I know you praying you was rich, fucking prick
I know that others wish they were as successful and wealthy as me, but they are not worthy of such success

This goes out for those that choose to use
This message is for those who disrespect me

Disrespectful views on the King of N-Y
Those who disrespect me are disrespecting the reigning king of the New York rap scene

Fuck that, why try, throw bleach in your eye
I do not tolerate disrespect, and will go to extreme measures to punish those who insult me

Now ya brailling it, snatch that light shit, I'm scaling it
You will be blinded by the bleach and unable to see. I will take your possessions and climb higher in power and influence

Conscious of ya nonsense, in eighty-eight
I am aware of your foolish behavior and will act accordingly

Sold more powder than Johnson and Johnson
I have made a lot of money from selling drugs, even more than a major pharmaceutical company

Tote steel like Bronson, "Vigilante"
I carry a gun and am prepared to act as a vigilante

You wanna get on son, you need to ask me
If you want to challenge me in the rap game, you need to ask for my permission first

Ain't no other kings in this rap thing
There is no one else who can compete with me for the title of rap king

They siblings, nothing but my children
Other rappers are inferior to me and could be considered my subordinates or children

One shot they disappearin'
I have the power to end another rapper's career with just one diss track or critical comment

It's ill when MC's used to be on cruddy shit
It is ironic that other rappers used to be involved in criminal or violent behavior, but now are successful and wealthy

Took home Ready to Die, listened, studied shit
Other rappers have studied my debut album "Ready to Die" in order to learn from my success

Now they on some money shit, successful out the blue
Now other rappers are focused solely on making money and have found success quickly and unexpectedly

They light weight, fragile, my nine milli
Other rappers are weak and unimportant compared to my power and influence, which are symbolized by my gun

Make the whites shake, that's why my money never funny
My success makes others envious and fearful, but it also ensures that I will never have financial troubles

And you still recouping, stupid
Other rappers are still struggling to make a name for themselves and are not on my level
