[00:02.43]It has been, it has been, it has been
[00:04.35]
[00:05.29]It has been said,
[00:06.39]That there has been known to be bloodshed
[00:08.54]Over bread,
[00:09.33]Men who have bled to death, dead
[00:11.57]Strapped to beds, pipe bombs, dynamite,
[00:14.54]Lead money power respect, street cred, yeah
[00:17.26]It's scary ain't it?
[00:18.42]Picture yourself going out as a hero
[00:20.49]Picture mural pictures of us painted
[00:22.39]All over street corners
[00:23.66]Fans meet to mourn us,
[00:25.23]While we meet the coroners
[00:26.52]Notorious tried to warn us
[00:28.56]We watched,
[00:29.33]So many Biggie backed off of
[00:30.80]Biggie's back and 'Pac's, landmarks, history in rap
[00:34.62]Statistically in fact;
[00:36.08]It's so sad to see us re-enact
[00:38.13]These tragic events, which lead us back
[00:40.34]To where we left off on March 9th
[00:42.14]To come from such hard knock lifes
[00:43.67]And make it up out of them, hit the spotlights
[00:46.13]And, once they're on us this is our lives
[00:48.21]Thrust out for all eyes to cast upon us
[00:50.04]To see who can last the longest
[00:51.58]And he who lasts the longest,
[00:53.03]Must be the strongest
[00:53.82]
[00:54.63]In this concrete jungle,
[00:55.78]Where this dog eat dog mentality comes from
[00:58.23]It's origin,
[00:59.04]Which is usually originated from cats who starving
[01:01.44]
[01:02.22]Or it could just be somebody's horror,
[01:04.15]That just horri-fies
[01:05.71]And applies to his persona or the sizes
[01:08.02]In his entou-rage, that intimidates the people
[01:10.90]To the point that you know that he's gangster
[01:13.07]He ain't just say shit, you just believe i
[01:14.79]Since B.I.B. taught us niggas to think big
[01:16.99]I'm been about my business since then,
[01:18.48]So anxious
[01:19.19]It ain't how we live,
[01:20.41]It's what he said,
[01:21.31]He did it for Brooklyn
[01:22.81]This I took in, sent chills through my skin
[01:25.34]Vicious, I'm experiencin the same sights as him
[01:28.31]It's what excited Obie to write these poems
[01:30.56]
[01:31.49]Rolling, going through the same shit he spoken
[01:34.50]Open up my eyes so there's no limit in them skies
[01:36.97]When Ready to Die was a sick part of my life
[01:39.28]
[01:39.80]Palmin that forty-five, plottin to pop my mind
[01:42.55]Then that crooked eye Jamaican
[01:43.79]I'd so many times rewind
[01:44.65]
[01:45.49]Got me to walk a straight line and get up on my grind
[01:48.35]Get up out the system,
[01:49.79]Who could give him better signs
[01:51.43]No pop of mine could top Big Poppa rhymes
[01:53.51]
[01:54.30]So possibly I'd be popular huh?
[01:56.34]
[01:57.11]That's the inspiration I got from my nigga B.I.
[01:59.35]I took him from coal to diamond,
[02:01.11]I molded his mind
[02:02.09]Enter the most phenomenal artist of any and all time
[02:04.69]
[02:05.68]I made a Frankenstein,
[02:06.90]My design impressed
[02:07.78]
[02:08.29]Backpackers and press who said my house was a mess
[02:11.13]Critics lashed,
[02:11.78]Said I made a fortune off of his passin
[02:13.97]All I did was build a dynasty, off of his passion
[02:16.79]And I'm addressing the adolesencents absent to who he is
[02:19.67]The original king of New York,
[02:21.21]Christopher Wallace
[02:21.83]This is a promise on Diddy's honor,
[02:23.91]I'm a father T'Yanna
[02:24.88]
[02:25.53]And teach her that with all the drama
[02:27.20]Don't even bother
[02:28.14]On repeat, all of your albums play back to back
[02:31.17]And I visit your grave cause our friendship's intact
[02:33.97]An immaculate concept, extravagant progress
[02:36.49]
[02:37.07]Bullet wounds left in my heart, I'm yellin "God bless"
[02:40.01]Regardless to critics yellin that East/West
[02:41.59]
[02:42.28]I seen the game losing,
[02:43.70]I'm just pressing the reset
[02:44.68]
[02:45.24]And when the ressurection of you shines through an individual
[02:47.80]
[02:48.45]Lyrical enough to wear the same crown of thorns literally!
[02:51.51]I'ma pay homage, Brooklyn's finest
[02:53.28]
[02:53.84]Whether it's Queens or Harlem
[02:55.42]It'll be instant stardom, b***h!
