Notorious Big – Mo Money Mo Problems
[Verse One: Mase]
Now, who’s hot who not
Tell me who rock who sell out in the stores
You tell me who flopped who copped the blue drop
Who jewels got robbed who’s mostly Goldie down
to the tube sock, the same ol pimp
Mase, you know ain’t nuttin change but my limp
Can’t stop till I see my name on a blimp
Guarantee a million sales pullin all the love
You don’t believe in Harlem World nigga double up
We don’t play around it’s a bet lay it down
nigga didn’t know me ninety-one bet they know me now
I’m the young Harlem nigga with the Goldie sound
Can’t no PHD niggaz hold me down, Cooter
schooled me to the game, now I know my duty
Stay humble stay low blow like Hootie
True pimp niggaz spend no dough on the booty
And then ya yell there go Mase there go your cutie
[singers come in over this last line]
I don’t know what, they want from me
It’s like the more money we come across
The more problems we see
[repeat 2X]
[Verse Two: Puff Daddy]
Yeah yeah, ahaha, from the C-to-the-A-to-the-D-D-Y
know you’d rather see me die than to see me fly
I call all the shots
Rip all the spots, rock all the rocks
Cop all the drops, I know you thinkin now’s
when all the ballin stops, nigga never
home got a chrome one and a yacht
Ten years from now we’ll still be on top
Yo, I thought I told you that we won’t stop
Now whatcha gonna do when it’s cool
bag a money much longer than yours
and a team much stronger than yours, violate me
this’ll be your day, we don’t play
Mess around be D.O.A., be on your way
Cause it ain’t enough time here, ain’t enough lime here
for you to shine here, deal with many women
but treat dimes fair, and I’m
bigger than the city lights down in Times Square
Yeah, yeah yeah
I don’t know what, they want from me
It’s like the more money we come across
The more problems we see
[repeat 2X]
[Verse Three: Notorious B.I.G.]
Uhh, uhhh
B.I.G., P-O, P-P-A
No info, for the, DEA
Federal agents mad cause I’m flagrant
Tap my cell, and the phone in the basement
My team supreme, stay clean
Triple beam lyrical dream, I be that
Cat you see at all events bent
Gats in holsters girls on shoulders
Playboy, I told ya, bein mice to me
Bruise too much, I lose, too much
Step on stage the girls boo too much
I guess it’s cause you run with lame dudes too much
Me lose my touch, never that
If I did, ain’t no problem to get the gat
Where the true players at?
Throw your roadies in the sky
Wave em side to side and keep their hands high
While I give your girl the eye, player please
Lyrically, niggaz see, B.I.G.
be flossin jig on the cover of Fortune
Five double oh, get the phone number
your name, I got to know, I got to go
Got the flow down phizat, platinum plus
Like thizat, dangerous
on trizack, leave your ass kizzack
I don’t know what, they want from me
It’s like the more money we come across
The more problems we see
[repeat 3X]
What’s goin on?
What’s goin on?
I don’t know what, they want from me
It’s like the more money we come across
The more problems we see
[repeat 3X to fade]
Estelle ft. Kanye West – American Boy
[Kanye West:]
Just another one champion sound
Me and Estelle about to get down
Who the hottest in the world right now.
Just touched down in London town.
Bet they give me a pound.
Tell them put the money in my hand right now.
Tell the promoter we need more seats,
We just sold out all the floor seats
[Chorus (Estelle):]
Take me on a trip, I’d like to go some day.
Take me to New York, I’d love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You’ll be my American Boy.
He said “Hey Sister.
It’s really really nice to meet you.”
I just met this 5 foot 7 guy who’s just my type.
I like the way he’s speaking his confidence is peaking.
Don’t like his baggy jeans but I’m a like what’s underneath them.
And no I ain’t been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York heart awaits.
First let’s see the west end.
I’ll show you to my brethren.
I’m liking this American Boy. American Boy
[Chorus:]
Take me on a trip, I’d like to go some day
Take me to New York, I’d love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You’ll be my American Boy
Can we get away this weekend?
Take me to Broadway.
Let’s go shopping baby then we’ll go to a café.
Let’s go on the subway.
Take me to your hood.
I never been to Brooklyn and I’d like to see what’s good.
Dress in all your fancy clothes.
Sneaker’s looking Fresh to death, I’m loving those Shell Toes.
Walking that walk.
Talk that slick talk.
I’m liking this American Boy. American Boy.
[Chorus:]
Take me to Chicago, San Francisco Bay
Take me to New York, I’d love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You’ll be my American Boy
Let them know a gwan blud
[Kanye West:]
Who Killing em in the UK.
Everybody gonna to say you K, reluctantly, because most of this press don’t f**k with me.
Estelle once said to me, “Cool down, down, don’t act a fool now, now.”
I always act a fool oww oww.
Ain’t nothing new now now.
He crazy, I know what ya thinkin.
Ribena I know what you’re drinking.
Rap singer. Chain Blinger.
Holla at the next chick soon as you’re blinking.
What’s you’re persona.
About this Americana Brama.
Am I shallow cause all my clothes designer.
Dressed smart like a London Bloke.
Before he speak his suit bespoke.
And you thought he was cute before.
Look at this peacoat, tell me he’s broke.
And I know you’re not into all that.
I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit.
But I still talk that CASH.
Cause a lot wags want to hear it.
And I’m feeling like Mike at his Baddest.
The Pips at they Gladys.
And I know they love it.
So to hell with all that rubbish
[Estelle:]
Would you be my love, my love.
Could be mine would you be my love my love, could be mine
Could you be my love, my love.
Would you be my American Boy. American Boy
[Chorus:]
Take me on a trip, I’d like to go some day
Take me to Chicago, San Fransisco Bay.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You’ll be my American Boy
