Lyric Respect Of Notorious BIG

Lyric Song Respect: Verse 1

Nineteen seventy somethin nigga I don t sweat the date
My moms is late so I had to plan my escape
out the skinsin this world of fly girls
Tanqueray and Hennessy until I cold hurl
Ten months in this gutwhat the fuck
I wish moms d hurry up so I could get buck
wildjuvenile rippin mics and shit
New York New Yorkready for the likes of thisuh
Then came the worst dateMay 21st
2 19that s when my momma water burst
No spouse in the house so she rode for self
to the hospitalto see if she could get a little help
Umbilical cord s wrapped around my neck
I m seein my death and I ain t even took my first step
I made it outI m bringin mad joy
The doctor looked and saidyquot;He s gonna be a Bad Boyyquot;

Verse 2

Now I m thirteensmokin bluntsmakin cream
On the drug scenefuck a football team
Riskin ruptured spleens by the age of sixteen
Hearin the coach scream at my lifetime dreamI mean
I wanna blow upstack my dough up
So school I didn t show upit fucked my flow up
Mom said that I should grow up and check myself
before I wreck myselfdisrespect myself
Put the drugs on the shelf Nahcouldn t see it
ScarfaceKing of New YorkI wanna be it
Rap was secondarymoney was necessary
Until I got incarcerated kinda scary
C74 Mark 8 set me straight
Not able to move behind the great steel gate
Time to contemplatedamnwhere did I fail
All the money I stacked was all the money for bail

Verse 3

Ninety fournow I explore new horizons
Mama smile when she see methat s surprisin
Honeys is tantalizin they freak all night
Peep duckin cops on the creep all night
As I open my eyes and realizin I changed
Not the same deranged child stuck up in the game
And to my niggas livin street life
Learn to treat life to the bestput stress to rest
Still tote your vest manniggas be trippin
In the streets without a gat Nahnigga you re slippin
If I m pimpin on The F with weed on my breath
Original hustler with the muffler on the Tec
Respect to the Mac s and the Ac s
To the freaks in the Jeepslick shots to my peeps
