Let's do it?
Mm, yeah
Yeah
Whoa-whoa, ah
Come on
I'm the definition of half man, half drugs
After bucks, crush crews after us
No games, we ain't laughin' much
Nothin' but big things, check the hit-list
How we twist shit, what changed but the name?
We still here, you're rockin' with the best
Don't worry if I write rhymes, I write checks (ha)
Who's the boss? Dudes is lost
Don't think 'cause I'm iced out, I'ma cool off
Who else but me? (Who else?) And if you don't feel me
That means you can't touch me, it's ugly, trust me
Get it right, dawg, we ain't ever left
We just move in silence and rep to the death (yeah)
It's official, I survive what I been through
Y'all got drama, the saga continues
We ain't goin' nowhere, we ain't goin' nowhere
We can't be stopped now, 'cause it's Bad Boy for life
We ain't goin' nowhere (uh-uh), we ain't goin' nowhere (uh-uh)
We can't be stopped now (Bad Boy), 'cause it's Bad Boy for life
Ayo, straight from the Harlem streets
I don't play, I push it down wit the Harlem Heat (uh-huh)
All a sudden niggas got a problem wit me (Black, what happened?)
They run around actin' like the Black-o can't eat
And you know what? (What?) For some strange reason (uh)
I'm off of this medication, feelin' deranged needin'
For y'all to put the word out (come on, come on), we ain't leavin'
We tryna be rich before we all stop breathin' (come on)
Therefore (what?), we kinda hustle lames
Stay layin' down our muscle games (come on)
Still turn niggas' dreams to flames (yeah)
You got the wire? If not, I ain't sayin' no names, you'll soon expire (ha)
No pain (nothin'), I feel remorse
Yes, of course it's me and Diddy up first racin' Porsches
With the big twin valve exhausts (yeah)
On the cover of your Vibes (haha), XXLs, and Sources, bitch (yeah, come on)
We ain't goin' nowhere (uh-uh), we ain't (uh-uh) goin' nowhere (we ain't goin' nowhere)
We can't be stopped now (that's right), 'cause it's Bad Boy for life
We ain't (we ain't) goin' nowhere (uh-uh), we ain't (uh-uh) goin' (we ain't goin' nowhere)
We can't be stopped now, 'cause it's Bad Boy for life (yeah, yeah, yo, yeah)
And ain't shit changed, since the Notorious (We miss you B.I.G.)
See everything still glorious (yeah)
We still got warriors, still be the victorious (that's right)
See it's a lot of them, but it's more of us
Still got cash to blow, raps that flow
Still them cats that know, pack your flow
That's fo' sho', bottles that pop
Joints that rock, play the background
Hand on my jock, holdin' my Glock (haha)
Money to get (yeah), cars to flip (uh)
Bars to sit at and sip Cognac with jewels that drip (come on)
Hoes to see, make sure they knowin' it's me (they know it's you)
Drop that beat, can't believe that I MC (haha)
Bad Boy 'til the casket drop (Bad Boy)
Gotta love it, place nothin' above it (nothin')
It's on like that (come on), don't believe, we ain't gone like that
We're always gonna be here (yeah)
We there (uh) every motherfuckin' year (what? Let's go)
We ain't (Bad Boy) goin' nowhere, we ain't goin' nowhere (we ain't goin' nowhere)
We can't be stopped now, 'cause it's Bad Boy for life (come on)
We ain't (uh-uh) goin' nowhere, we ain't (uh-uh) goin' nowhere (what?)
We can't be stopped now, 'cause it's Bad Boy for life
We ain't goin' nowhere, we ain't goin' nowhere
(We ain't goin' nowhere, we gon' stay right here forever and ever and ever and ever, come on)
We can't be stopped now, 'cause it's Bad Boy for life
We ain't goin' nowhere, we ain't goin' nowhere
(We ain't goin' nowhere, we gon' stay right here, we ain't goin' nowhere, we gon' stay right here)
We can't be stopped now, 'cause it's Bad Boy for life
We ain't (yeah, uh-huh) goin' nowhere, (uh-uh) we ain't (uh-uh) goin' nowhere
We can't be stopped now, 'cause it's Bad Boy for life
