Party people in the place to be

From the same man who brought you Da Bichez

(Da Bichez Da Bichez Da Bichez)

We were misunderstood last time we brought you

Ba Bichez (Da Bichez Da Bichez)

Now we gonna clear it up and let you make up your own mind

like this...

Now a queen's a queen and a whore is a whore

She felt if she made me wait I'd have more respect for her

Adore her eventually spendin up my digits

She felt that love would make me buy her mad material shit

She likes to trick em, cause ain't nothin like a sleepin victim

East New York style stick em -- ha ha ha, stick em

Top rated game, but if it's game I played it

Underestimated, swore the king was checkmated

She claims she loves my mind, cause I'm so intelligent

But fuck my mental, she was scheming on my mint

Evil inten-tion, to de-plenish the fund

She tried to juice me with the pussy cept for, the mask and gun

I was a fool to fall in lust with this evil ge-nius

She had me by the nuts

She ain't got shit but man she loves it plush

Whippin I whip, and suckin up I canibus

Back in the days, I woulda scraped her for this caper

But I realize, it wasn't me it was the paper

Let me kick it, about the digits, that I've collected

Long distance, and disconnected, it's gettin hectic

Before my record, they didn't show it

But now they throw it, hopin that they'll get drunk off Moet

or Cristal, but that's not my par-ticular style and taste

My name ain't Puff and I ain't got loot to waste

I ain't got time to waste, bad bitches is all up in my face

Crazy ignorant, sweatin links minks and shit

Cosmetic, but deep down, derelict

Fake players, never get out the projects

It's pathetic -- the way she bends for dividends

I tried to jewel her but she tried to get a drink at the end

of our con-vo-sation, I did not have the patience

Slid off to the next Asian

She said, "What you do?" I said, "What?"

She said, "You know your occuptation?"

So I broke the fuck out

In nineteen-ninety-six that's what it's all about, but

I won't go that route

Back in the days Biz said it was The Vapors

But today, I realize that it's the papers

Now a whore's a whore, find a queen and she'll be my Earth

Respect love and protect her, for all that it's worth

I admit I have flaws, I flips it first, but deep down

I wishes to give em the universe

A lot of the ones that I thought was right wasn't

I build with Afu, he said "Don't sweat it cause

they come a dime a dozen"

Like my ex-stunt, wanted a diamond

Bitches love power, while queens, love refinement

Low stress environment, old age and retirement

Never have to wonder where my money went

Where my honey went, is her back gettin twisted

by the next fella, always take heed to what I tell her

When I'm wrong, she lets me know I need correction

When I'm right she's my reflection still we, use protection

Through thick and thin, thin and thick

She's my diamond in the rough not a whore or a trick

Great expectations, of me and she buildin nation

Everything we do and skyscrapin

Back in the days, the devil used to rape her

Nowadays, he got her chasin the paper
