Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just play
Now Biggie Smalls is not the type to fall in love with 'em
Hit 'em and forget 'em and go handle my business
What is this with you? All you wanna do is lay around
And stay around and get mad when I play around
Tuesday I saw you with zee, but you still wanna get wit me
Wednesday is the Benz day, that's what your friend say
So I guess you think I'm slippin' cause I ain't flippin'
Baby, I'm Big Poppa, ain't no need to be trippin'
[Verse 2]
I don't care about the money and the cars that you got, uh
'Cause it don't mean nothing
I done did a whole lot and I got my own
I can teach you something
I'm not impressed by those things
'Cause I ain't the one who needs you
Who needs you
The reason that I fuck with you ain't because I need you, baby
I do what I wanna do, I don't need a man to save me
If it's money in the bank, I got it
You don't never have to do without it with me
[Verse 3]
All I do all day is drink Tanqueray
Thinking of way to put a smile on your face
It seems like it's a waste of time, that's why I wrote the rhyme
I hear you jump into every car, except for mine
But you mean them Benzes and Bentleys they see me in all the time?
The Range Rover trucks? That's all mine
You better slow your roll, baby, you ain't got enough dough to pay me
You know the pin number, just page me when you real, baby
[Verse 4]
I don't care about the money and the cars that you got, uh
'Cause it don't mean nothing
I done did a whole lot and I got my own
I can teach you something
I'm not impressed by those things
'Cause I ain't the one who needs you
Who needs you
The reason that I fuck with you ain't because I need you, baby
I do what I wanna do, I don't need a man to save me
If it's money in the bank, I got it
You don't never have to do without it with me
[Verse 5]
So let me hold you down
You could do the same for me
Baby, you're so ride or die
I could be your everything
Just don't take me for granted
Like someone else couldn't have it
There's so many fish in the sea
So many fish in the sea, yeah
[Verse 6]
The reason that I fuck with you ain't because I need you, baby
I do what I wanna do, I don't need a man to save me
If it's money in the bank, I got it
You don't never have to do without it with me
Don't do without it because ya can't do without it with me
The reason that I fuck with you ain't because I need you, baby
I do what I wanna do, I don't need a man to save me
If it's money in the bank, I got it
You don't never have to do without it with me
Don't do without it because ya can't do without it with me
The reason that I fuck with you ain't because I need you, baby
I do what I wanna do, I don't need a man to save me
If it's money in the bank, I got it
You don't never have to do without it with me
