Mase and D-Block (then known as "The L.O.X.") joined Bad Boy just as a widely publicized rivalry with the West Coast's Death Row Records was beginning. Combs and The Notorious B.I.G. were criticized and parodied by Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight in songs and interviews during the mid-1990s. During 1994–1995, he also helped produce songs for TLC's CrazySexyCool, which was the decade's best-selling R&B album. Songs he helped produced include "If I Was Your Girlfriend" and "Can I Get A Witness"

Yeh why'all can hear me
Make the drumming sound yeh
Lets ride yeh yeh
Be clear we here lights out
Eat here sleep here my house
Rhyme wasting time wasting
Feds want me caged in
Hope they got patience
More you win they want you to lose
I don't floss no more I drop jewels
Hope we might chill the heights real
Still we got fire that will melt your ice grill
Know the deal once we hit record
Hit the floor
New era this is war
Lord I'm the answer without a question
No evidence no possession
Stop stressing
Shit I got moves to make
Streets is dark but still I illuminate nigga
I could see the way
Till I see the end to me and BIG meet again yeh
[Mark Curry]
Curry going hit again
Dreams your living in
This what you coulda been
Every city foot scene gets scrilla with em
Kid shortchange the dealer
The game be gorilla
Ain't nothing illa
Aka 800 toll free aside
I rose to be a Bad Boy til' I die
The official bonafide (fide)
Tested and tried (tried)
Get in like Canson
Work from the inside
When I ride eyes are wide
Ain't that I lick when I walk
My some pimping to my stride
Some wit a emphis on my side
Cause I understand niggas out to get I
Living the life
Is no lie
Been a great thing to do
Nuttin I could think change the view
Although it might seem strange to you

Lets give them what they came to see
[Big Azz Ko]
Yow yow aiiyo

Wit flows meaning cruel
From few options
To cruise hopping
Now fools plotting cause I chart topping
From bounce checks to being in effect (fect)
And it don't stop till they reinterbect
Rhyme calisthetics

The Last Song by P. Diddy & The Bad Boy Family is a song with a deep message that touches on various themes such as perseverance, loyalty, and the struggles of the music industry. In the beginning, P. Diddy talks about the challenges he faces as a celebrity musician, including the pressure from law enforcement. He highlights the fact that the more you win, the more people want you to lose, and the reality that the streets are dark, but he still manages to illuminate them. In the end, he looks forward to the day he meets with his late friend, The Notorious B.I.G.
Mark Curry's verse talks about his rise to fame as part of the Bad Boy Family label, which he refers to as a dream come true. He highlights the fact that the music industry is fraught with challenges, but through his testimonial, he has stood the test of time.
Big Azz Ko's verse stands out because of its lyrical flow, and he talks about his exceptionalism compared to other rappers. He uses metaphorical language to describe the pain he inflicts on his competition as he rises to the top charts.
Loom highlights the pain and suffering experienced by many people living in slums and mentions the hunger and lack of resources experienced in these communities. He also addresses the shift in attitudes towards him as his career has progressed, although he acknowledges that he will always be true to himself.

Now you're trying to distract from the real issue
