You're Nobody
The Notorious B.I.G. Lyrics

Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I am not afraid of facing death and its challenges

I will fear no evil, for you are with me
I do not fear any kind of evil, because I know I have someone who protects me

Your rod and your staff, they comfort me
Your guidance and support bring me comfort and security

You prepare a table for me, in the presence of my enemies
Even when I am surrounded by enemies, you make sure I have everything I need

You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows
You bless me with abundance and prosperity

Surely goodness and love will follow me, all the days of my life
I am always surrounded by kindness and love

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever
I will always find peace and happiness in God's presence

Niggaz in my faction don't like askin' questions
My associates know better than to question my authority

Strictly, testing, coke measuring
We are dedicated to testing and measuring the purity of cocaine

Givin' pleasure in the Benz-ito
We enjoy luxury and pleasure in our Mercedes-Benz cars

Hittin' fanny, spendin' chips at Manny's
We have sex and spend money at fancy establishments like Manny's

Hope you creeps got receipts, my peeps get dirty like cleats
I hope you have proof of purchase, because my associates can get violent

Run up in your crib, wrap you up in your Polo sheets
We will break into your home and use your Polo sheets to wrap your dead body

Six up in your wig piece, nigga decease
We will shoot you six times in the head and kill you

Mwa, may you rest in peace
I hope you can rest in peace after I kill you

With my Sycamore style, more sicker than yours
My rap style is better and more sick than yours

Four-four, and fifty-four draw
I carry a .44 Magnum and a .54 caliber gun

As my pilot, steers my Leer, yes my dear
My driver is in control of my Leer jet, my love

Shit's official, only, the Feds I fear
Everything is legitimate, but the only thing I fear is the federal government

Here's a tissue, stop your blood clot crying
Stop your whining and crying

The kids, the dog, everybody dyin', no lying
People are dying, including innocent children and pets – it's not a joke

So don't you get suspicious
Don't be suspicious of me

I'm Big Dangerous you're just a little vicious
I am a big threat and you are a small one

As I leave my competition, respirator style
As I defeat my competitors, leaving them gasping for air

Climb the ladder to success escalator style
Climbing the ladder of success swiftly and efficiently

Hold y'all breath, I told y'all, death
Hold your breath, I warned you that death is coming

Controls y'all, Big don't fold y'all, uhh
I am in control and I will not give up easily

I spit phrases that'll thrill you
I rap lyrics that will excite you

Watch Casino, I'm the hip-hop version of Nicky Tarantino
Watch the movie Casino, I am like the hip-hop version of Nicky Santoro, played by Joe Pesci

Ask Nino, he know
Ask Nino Brown, played by Wesley Snipes, he knows who I am

Green with envy, the green tempts me
I am envious and tempted by wealth

To make the rich the enemy, and take their cheese
I view rich people as enemies and I want to steal their money

Take their spots, take their keys, make my faculty
I want to take their positions, their cars, and make my group prosper

Live happily, ever after in laughter
I want to live a happy and hilarious life

Hah, never seen Cristal pour faster
I have never seen champagne, like Cristal, being poured so quickly

And to those bastards, knuckleheads squeeze lead
We will shoot at those stupid, foolish people

Three of mine dead, nuttin left to do
Three of my associates are dead, there's nothing else we can do

But tear they ass to shreds, leave em in bloodshed
We will brutally attack them and leave them in pools of blood

Incidents like this I take trips
I travel or take drugs to deal with incidents like this

Lay up in Miami with Tamika and Tammy (huh)
I will relax and stay in Miami with two women named Tamika and Tammy

Some Creole C-O bitches I met on tour
I met some Creole women on tour

Push a peach Legend Coupe, gold teeth galore
They drive a peach-colored Acura Legend with gold teeth

Told me meet 'em in the future later, they'll take me shoppin'
They told me to meet them in the near future and they will take me shopping

Buy me lavender and fuschia Gators
They will buy me lavender and fuchsia alligator-skin shoes

Introduce me to playa haters and heavy weighters
They will introduce me to people who are jealous of successful men and powerful people

Rich bitch shit, drinkin' Cristal
Rich women drinking Cristal champagne

Til they piss the shit, uhh
Drinking until they have to pee

Thorough bitches, adapt to any borough bitches
Resourceful women who can fit in any neighborhood

Be in spots where they were no bitches, you feel me
Going to places where there were previously no women to hang out

Reminesce on dead friends too
Thinking and remembering about dead friends

You're nobody til somebody kills you
You are not important until someone kills you

You can be the shit, flash the fattest five (that's right)
You can be the best and have the most money

Have the biggest dick, but when your shell get hit
Even if you have a big penis, when you get shot

You ain't worth spit, just a memory
You are not valuable anymore, you are just a memory

Remember he, used to push the champagne Range (I remember that)
I remember when he used to drive a champagne-colored Range Rover

Silly cat, all suede in the rain
He was foolish for wearing suede shoes in the rain

Swear he put the G in Game, had the Gucci frame
He thought he was cool, he had Gucci glasses

Before Dana Dane, thought he ran with Kane
He thought he was as cool as Dana Dane or Big Daddy Kane

I can't recall his name (what was his name?) you mean that kid
I can't remember his name (what was his name?), you mean that guy

That nearly lost half his brain over two bricks of cocaine?
The guy who almost lost half his brain over two bricks of cocaine?

Gettin' his dick sucked by Crackhead Lorraine
Getting a blowjob from a woman who is addicted to crack cocaine

A fuckin' shame, duke's a lame, what's his name?
It's a shame, he is not important, what's his name?

Darkskin Jermaine (see what I mean?)
His name is Darkskin Jermaine (you see what I mean?)
