[Intro]
This one goes out to all the big willies

[Verse 1: Will Smith]
Big Will the high roller
Strolling through with an entourage
Hard to camouflage when you living this large
I be smooth like Debarge with a five car garage
Out for the night with my squad
And we be flossing down the fifteen
My whole aura gleaming
Who that kid in the green V?
Envy brother scheming
I ain't thinking bout them
Racing chicks in the pink b.m
With my speakers tweakin'
Freaking off this weekend
In Las Vegas, boss players all across the board
Move makers and shakers
Money can't break us but the places it can take us
Big will in the limelight, rhyme tight
And we gon' have some fun tonight

[Hook: Will Smith]
Now how we do it?
(You know it's Big Willie style baby)
How we doing it?
(You know it's Big Willie style)

Now how we do it?
(You know it's Big Willie style baby)
How we doing it?
(You know it's Big Willie style)

[Verse 2: Will Smith]
I'm in a five star casino shutting crap tables down (boom)
Non betting willie watchers standing around
Strictly millionaire status you can feel the eyes looking at us
How bad they wanna be us (parlay)
Charlie Mack got my back with his eyes on my stack
Brothers don't know how to act when you drive a four-five black
People stop and stare having drinks at the bar
A round for everybody with these big willie cards
From civilians to stars they wanna know who we are
It's me big Will, Nas, Escobar, J.L. Omar
Carry money bags collect the chips then we all quick to swift exit

[Hook: Will Smith]
Now how we do it?
(You know it's Big Willie style baby)
How we doing it?
(You know it's Big Willie style)

Now how we do it?
(You know it's Big Willie style baby)
How we doing it?
(You know it's Big Willie style)

[Verse 3: Left Eye]
It's Left Eye with a tight crew
Representing like it's ladies night
Coming right through
Don't be spiteful
Plus an eyeful, Sporting hot pink
Rocks in the link, In the drop with a mink
Like my- don't stink
Got you in the palm with a bomb like Saddam
Blowing up spots then running off with the pot
Left Eye ready for action
The main attraction
I'm in the fast lane passing
Breaking you down like fractions
While we be rapping about things that really happen
Big willie style Philly style let's make it platinum
With Mademoiselle from Gezals to Versace
With a sweet smell
This female leading the posse
Got jokes like Cosby
In the lots where the cars be
With no apologies it's Left Eye
Big Will, let the champagne spill
Is it a man's thing for real?
Can us girls roll wit y'all
What the deal?

[Hook: Will Smith]
Now how we do it?
(You know it's Big Willie style baby)
How we doing it?
(You know it's Big Willie style)

Now how we do it?
(You know it's Big Willie style baby)
How we doing it?
(You know it's Big Willie style)

[Verse 4: Will Smith]
Well now it's looking like a car show
Convoys and whips on the strip
Pulling up in the six making brothers sick
For real
Big Will household name, Entertainer
Gold handle cane and matching gators
Swerving lane
In pole position rolling deep like a coalition
In soul position and can rock a whole convention
Movie screens to the club scene
My whole crew looking clean
Shine with a diamond gleam
Step above where the players be
Don't hate me
One is where they rate me
Lately you could find me
Behind the door marked V.I.P
Eating grapes under the A.C
Big willie style is how we do it

[Hook: Will Smith]
Now how we do it?
(You know it's Big Willie style baby)
How we doing it?
(You know it's Big Willie style)

Now how we do it?
(You know it's Big Willie style baby)
How we doing it?
(You know it's Big Willie style)

[Outro]
This one goes out to all the big willies

Will Smith

Will Smith is a famed actor who has so many iconic movie roles in Hollywood blockbusters under his belt you sometimes forget he’s an accomplished rapper, too.

Smith started as the MC of the hip-hop duo “DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince,” with his childhood friend Jeffrey “DJ Jazzy Jeff” Townes as turntablist and producer. They gained critical acclaim and won the first Grammy awarded in the Rap category (1988).

As a result of spending money carelessly, Smith was nearly bankrupt in 1990, when the NBC television network signed him to a contract and built a sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, around him.
