Yo yo, this Mase, youknowhatI'msayin?
You got that don't like me for whatever reason
You got that don't wanna see me rich
You got that's mad, cause I'm always with they b*tch
Then you got that just don't like me
You know, the, those P.H.D.
But you know I pop a lot of s**t but I back it up though

Verse One: Mase

Now trick what? Lace who? That ain't what Mase do
Got a lot of girls that'd love to replace you
Tell you to your face Boo, not behind your back
talk s**t, we never mind that
Funny, never find that, Puff a dime stack
Write hot s**t, and make a nigg* say, 'Rewind that'
know, we go against the Harlem Jigalo
Getcha hoe, lick her low, make the b*tch, hit the do'
I represent honies with money fly guys with gems
Drive with the tints that be thirty-five percent
Hoes hope I lay so I look both ways
Cop says, 'OK, my tint smoke gray'
No way, nigg* leave without handin me my s**t
Got plans to get my Land and my 6
outta pen'll understand this s**t
Pop champagne like I won a championship (uhh, uhh)

Chorus: sung by Notorious B.I.G.

Is it our ladies? uh-huh
Or our drop Mercedes uhh, uhh
Bay-bee bay-BEE!

Verse Two: Puffy Daddy

I was in one bedroom, dreamin of a million (yeah)
Now I'm in beach houses, cream to the ceiling (that's right)
I was a gentleman, livin in tenements
Now I'm swimmin in, all the women that be tens (hoo)
Went from Bad Boys to the Crushed Linen Men
Now my divi-dends be the new Benjamins (uh-huh)
Hoes of all complexions, I like cinnamon
Mase you got some hoes well nigg*, send em in (c'mon)
What you waitin for, let the freak show begin
How they came in a truck? (Mase: Nah Puffy, that's a Benz)
Mercedes, c'mere baby, you don't like the way
it's hot and hazy, never shady, you must be crazy
It's ridiculous, how you put your lips on this
Don't kiss right there girlfriend I'm ticklish (heheh)
And I be switchin fees with a wrist full of G's
nigg* please, I'm the macaroni with the cheese

Chorus

Verse Three: Puffy Daddy and Mase

-Puffy Daddy-
Now Puff rule the world, even though I'm young
I make it my biz to see that all ladies come (yeah)
Get em all strung from the tip of my tongue
Lick em places wouldn't dare put they faces (c'mon)

-Mase-
Before I die, hope I, remake a flow by
In the brand new treasure on a old try
Now when my third dry, even when the smoke lie
Eat the mami's chocha and drive her loca
We never ride far, packed five in a car
Save money for the drinks, I'm about to buy the bar (yeah)
And everywhere I drive I'm a star, little kids
all on the corner scream, 'That's my car!'

It was days couldn't be fly, now I'm in a T.I.
Come in clubs with B.I., now a nigg* V.I. (uh-huh)
Rock tons of gold, nuff money I fold
Roll the way you wanna roll, break a hundred out the toe

Chorus w/ Puffy talking silently while B.I.G. sings
You know, sometimes I gotta ask myself
Why's there so much jealousy in the world?
Don't look at mine, get yours
music fades
