Motherfuckers don't even know you, and they don't like you...

[Notorious B.I.G.]

Uhh, I dreams filthy

My moms and pops mixed me with Jamaican Rum and Whiskey

Huh, what a set up

Shoulda pushed em dead off, wipe the sweat off

Uhh, cause in this world I'm dead off, squeeze lead off

Benz sped off, ain't no shook hands in Brook-land

Army fatigue break up teams, the enemies

Look man, you wanna see me locked up, shot up

Moms crotched up over the casket, screamin BASTARD

Cryin, know my friends is lyin

Y'all know who killed 'em filled 'em with the lugars from they Rugers

or they Desert, dyin ain't the shit but it's pleasant

Kinda quiet, watch my niggaz bring the riot

Giving cats the opposite of diets

You gain thirty pounds when you die no lie, lazy eye

I was high when they hit me, took a few cats with me

Shit, I need the company (uh-huh)

Apoligies in order, to T'Yanna my daughter

If it was up to me you would be with me, sorta like

Daddy Dearest, my vision be the clearest

Silencers so you can't hear it

Competition still fear it, shit don't ask me

I went from ashy to nasty to classy, and still

[DMC]

That's not all, MC's have the gall

To pray and pray for my downfall

Pray and pray for my downfall

Pray and pray for my downfall

[Notorious B.I.G.]

This goes out to cats, fingers in they ass again

Fifty dollar half-a-men, daydreamin

Fuck around get wet like semen, your whole team-and

be Mor-gan than Freeman

I took the cream and, moved to new places new faces

Fuck the screwfaces, cause when I flip

I make the papers, dangerous, we Goodfellas

Niggaz can't bang with us, try to do me

My crew be unruly (what)

To old school cats that call gats toolies

Call blacks moolies, think it's cool to smoke woolies

And fuck without rubbers (what) specialize

in killin wives and grandmothers, who ya trustin, shit

When Frank start bustin, Frank start somethin

Killin ya gently, God meant me, to push a Bentley

Me and Sean Combs takin broads home

On the phone with the chip, these Cristal chicks

bout to make our own porno flicks, my life's the shit

[DMC] (background singers: "They pray.." 8X throughout)

That's not all, MC's have the gall

To pray and pray for my downfall

Pray and pray for my downfall

Pray and pray for my downfall

That's not all, MC's have the gall

To pray and pray for my downfall

Pray and pray for my downfall

Pray and pray for my downfall

[Notorious B.I.G.]

We used to hold the gold, now we floss with diamonds

Niggaz want my team to stop shinin

Pray my fame start declinin

Whinin like girlies

We been around the world twice, all we got is mo' ice

and mo' nice, sacrifice your heart

Lexus with the automatic start (what)

Fifty shots'll tear your club apart

Eatin shrimp A la Carte, with some bitches from Brussels

Eatin clams or mussels

Uhh, out the puss (what) pretty face no waist

I just want the bush, so I can mack you

Give her a package to push, cause I work dem hoes

Pendejo's, I show you how to play them hoes

(background singers: "They pray.." 4X throughout)

Can you just visualize it

Before I go to sleep I check the beds and the closet

so I can sleep safe, not too many keep a mill' in the briefcase

Infrareds help me sleep safe, but wait

[DMC] (background singers: "They pray.." 4X throughout)

That's not all, MC's have the gall

To pray and pray for my downfall

Pray and pray for my downfall

Pray and pray for my downfall

Y'all motherfuckers live off of negativity

What y'all niggaz need to get through your motherfuckin heads

Is that, y'all fuckin with some niggaz that's on a higher

motherfuckin level -- we don't give a fuck

About what you think about less how you feel about us

What you got to say about us

We gon keep doin our motherfuckin thing

From now till the year three thousand bitches!

You can't breathe, you can't sleep, you can't eat

without thinkin about us!

And without thinkin about us on your mind

we gon' haunt your asses motherfuckers!

[DMC] (background singers: "They pray.." 4X throughout)

That's not all, MC's have the gall

To pray and pray for my downfall

Pray and pray for my downfall

Pray and pray for my downfall

(background singers: "They pray.." to fade)
