The Notoroius B.I.G Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh Yea , Bad Boy Baby
Biggie Smalls
Listen...

Uh Yea Baby Oooooooh, Listen To Me, OH Yeaaaa

When it comes to sex,
I'm similar to the thriller in Manila
Honey's call me Bigga the condom filler
Whether it's stiff tongue or stiff dick
Biggie squeeze it to make shit fit, now check this shit
I got the pack of Rough Riders
In the back of the Pathfinder
You know the epilogue by James Todd Smith
I get swift with the lyrical gift
Hit you with the dick, make your kidneys shift
Here we go, here we go, but I'm not Domino
I got the funk flow to make your drawers drop slow
So recognize the dick size in these Karl Kani jeans
I'm in thirteens, know what I mean
I fuck around and hit you with the Hennessey dick
Mess around and go blind, don't get to see shit
The next batter, here to shatter your bladder, it doesn't matter
Skinny or fat or light-skinned or black, baby I drop
These boriqua mommies screamin "Aiy papi!"
I love it when they call me Big Poppa
I only smoke blunts if they rolled propa
Look, I gotcha caught up with the drunk flow
Fuck tae kwon do, I tote da fo'-fo'
For niggaz gettin' mad 'cause they bitch chose me
A big black motherfucker with g ya see
All I do is separate the game from the truth
Big bang boots from the Bronx to Bolivia
Gettin' physical like Olivia Newt
Tricks suck my clique dick all day with no trivia
So gimme a hoe, a bankroll and a bag of weed
I'm guaranteed to fuck her 'til her nose bleed
Even if your new man's a certified mack
You'll get that H-town in ya, you'll want that old thing back

[Chorus]
What you wanna do?
I got that old thing back
What you wanna see?
Baby sing relax and feel
What you be, where you are
You wouldn't start

Screamin' want that old thing back
Like B I Double G I E
Wit' some R.U.L.E.
Notorious know to bust in the e.y.e
Baby baby!
Bitches know they love and hate me
I come, you come, we come
With back some maybe
How close we came to come the ghetto is crazy
How come you ain't, semi your faces
When I come you be cryin' like I'm killin' ya bitches
Knows when picture in the camera rolled
'Cuz I only be knowin' how the shits unfolded
Back shots in the rib, got the mack unloaded
Got A Reload, Like Every Show Off
You sayin' I got ma swag a back
I'm lookin' like bitch, ma swag near look left
It's so hard pressed, to be impressed by these new rappers
They actors, and the fact is
You want that old thing back
Shit...

[Chorus]

Is my mind playin' tricks, like Scarface and Bushwick
Willie D, havin' nightmares of girls killin' me
She mad because what we had didn't last
I'm glad because her cousin let me hit the ass
Fuck the past let's dwell on the 500 SL, the E and J and ginger ale
The way my pockets swell to the rim with Benjamins
Another hon's in the crib, please send her in
I fuck nonstop, lick my lips a lot, used to lick the clits a lot
But lickin' clits had to stop
'Cause y'all don't know how to act when the tongue go down below
Peep the funk flow, really though
I got the cleanest meanest penis, ya never seen this stroke of genius
So take off your Timb boots and your bodysuit
I mean the spandex and hit my man next
Sex gettin' rougher when it come to the nut buster
Pussy crusher, black nasty motherfucker
I don't chase 'em, I replace 'em
And if I'm caressin' 'em, I'm undressin' 'em
Fuck whatcha heard who's the best in New York
For fillin' fantasies without that nigga Mr. Walk
Or Tattoo I got you wrapped around my dick
And when I'm done I got to split shit
Back shots is my position, I gotcha wishin' for an intermission
Fuck the kissin', lickin' down to your belly button, I ain't frontin'
They don't call me B.I.G. for nuttin', all of a sudden

[Chorus]

Biggie Smalls
P.Diddy ya'll




Bad Boy for life
Once again going to top baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Notorious BIG ft. Ja Rule's song "Old thing Back" are explicit and a bit controversial. The song begins with Biggie speaking about his prowess in bed and how well he satisfies women. He compares himself to "the thriller in Manila" and calls himself "Bigga the condom filler." The lyrics continue to be sexually explicit as he talks about his ability to satisfy women with his "stiff tongue or stiff dick." Biggie is confident in his sexual abilities and is not afraid to let everyone know.


Throughout the song, Biggie references a lot of different things such as the pack of Rough Riders he has, James Todd Smith's (LL Cool J) epilogue, and his Karl Kani jeans. He also mentions taking Hennessey shots and smoking blunts. These references give the song a very '90s vibe and emphasize the culture of that time.


The chorus of the song is where Ja Rule comes in and he asks what the woman wants. He talks about wanting the "old thing back," which could refer to wanting to go back to a previous sexual relationship or wanting to relive a certain time in their life. The song is very explicit and sexual, but at its core, it is about giving into sexual desire and letting go of any inhibitions.
