[Intro]
Fuck her, never knew her
Screw her, dump her body in the sewer
Our father, uh-huh

[Verse]
What you expected from his next of kin? (Yeah)
I'm loco bro, but ain't no Mexican
I got nines in the bedrooms, Glocks in the kitchen
A shotty by the shower if you wanna shoot me while I'm shittin'
Uh, the lesson from the Smith and Wessun is depressin'
Niggas keep stressin', the same motherfuckin' question
How many shots does it take (What?)
To make my heart stop and my body start to shake?
If I should die before I wake

[Outro]
All I want is dough and big booty hoes, ya know?
All I want is dough, big booty hoes, ya know? (Money hoes and clothes)
Funk flow, oh (Blunt smoke coming out the nose is all a nigga knows)
All I want is hoes, you know? Dough, flow (Money hoes and clothes)
All I want is dough and big booty hoes, ya know? (Big booty hoes)
All I want is dough, big booty hoes, ya know?
(Money hoes and clothes is all a nigga knows, uh)
Ain't no more verses! The fuck, y'all niggas?
Got shit rocking like I'm 'bout to just drop some new shit
A bastard child at the age of 16, get the game, yeah, man!

Considered by many to be one of the greatest rappers of all time, The Notorious B.I.G. was a major figure in both hardcore hip-hop and 90’s pop music until his murder in 1997 at age 24. He’s best known for his #1 hits “Hypnotize” and “Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems,” his top 10 hits “One More Chance (Stay with Me Remix)” and “Big Poppa,” and his iconic early single “Juicy.”

In addition to his crossover hits, Biggie is known for innovative multi-syllabic lyricism and creative storytelling techniques, heard on critical favorites like “Warning,” “Suicidal Thoughts,” “Ten Crack Commandments,” “I Got A Story To Tell,” and “Gimme The Loot.”

As a teenager, Brooklyn native Christopher Wallace started rapping as Biggie Smalls, the name of a mobster character in the 1975 action comedy Let’s Do It Again. He recorded a demo with local Bed-Stuy DJ 50 Grand, which caught the attention of Mister Cee, who was well-known as Big Daddy Kane’s DJ. Cee introduced his demo to the industry, landing him a spot in The Source’s coveted “Unsigned Hype” column in the magazine’s March 1992 issue. Sean “Puffy” Combs, a successful A&R, also heard the demo and signed Big to Uptown Records.
