It started the east-west coast beef (Talk to 'em) Ohhh... Sure now baby, baby, baby Ooohooo... I don't know why I love you (Right) I don't know (C'mon) Why I love you (Let's talk to 'em) I don't know why I love you (Right, right) But I love ya (C'mon) (C'mon) (C'mon) Records is dropping And now dudes dissing each other Went from, loving the game Now they made with each other And videos got my little brother's heart in the street He want what he see on TV like 'change that bling' I love the fact that you can do this and move off your block I hate the fact that if you done too much, you're bound to get shot Big Pun, Big L, Biggie Smalls, and Pac: Y'all are the main reason why I ain't got it in me to stop I gotta deal with funny people, who act like we cool I don't know you if we didn't attend the same school I gotta watch when I'm shining, they plotting to scheme on me And catch me from the blind side, putting the beam on me Or cause I got a lil' name and a lil' fame And it's me girls yell for, when performing on the stage I ask my self, "Am I ready for this?" Do I really wanna see myself caught in the mix? (Why wouldn't I?) Ohhh... Sure now baby, baby, baby Ooohooo...
