[Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G.]

Relax and take notes

While-while-while I take tokes of the marijuana smoke

Relax and take notes, gunsmoke, gunsmoke

I just want the paper (Uh-huh), I just want the paper (Uh-huh)

I-I-I just want the paper (Uh-huh), I just want the paper (Uh-huh)

Relax and take notes

While-while-while I take tokes of the marijuana smoke

Relax and take notes, gun smoke, gun smoke

I just want the paper (Uh-huh), I-I-I just want the paper (Uh-huh)

I just-I just want the paper (Uh-huh), I-I-I just want the paper (Uh-huh)

[Verse 1: 8Ball]

M-E-M-P-H-I-S

I'ma rep this here 'til I walk up on death

My demise ain't near—don't hold your breath

Cook heat over beats, so, I'm something like a chef

Purple kushes; my bitches wax off they pussy bushes (Bushes)

Eat dick like it's delicious and grant a pimp wishes (Wishes)

She dig my country talkin', she say I sound funny

Embassy Suites, sittin' on the bed, counting money

Illegal hustling (Hustling), dirty money muscling (Muscling)

Spend it like I never saw a day of pain or suffering

Look at my face, you can tell I seen both of them (Of them)

I stick and move, do my business, get the dough, and dip (Dip)

My chronic habit heavy, weedman in every city

My money big so my airplane's lil'-bitty

Major visibility, Bad Boy lieutenant

Black Phantom with the black guts, and I'm in it

[Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G.]

R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-Relax and take notes

While I-while I take tokes of the marijuana smoke

Relax and take notes, gun-smoke, gun-smoke

I just want the paper (Uh-huh), I just-I just want the paper (Uh-huh)

I-I-I just want the paper (Uh-huh), I just-I just want the paper (Uh-huh)

Relax and take notes

While I-while I take tokes of the marijuana smoke

Relax and take notes, gun-smoke, gun-smoke

I just want the paper (Uh-huh), I just-I just want the paper (Uh-huh)

I-I-I just want the paper (Uh-huh), I just-I just want the paper (Uh-huh)

[Verse 2: MJG]

Yeah, fuck it, I'ma blast off, take my mask off

Blow your fuckin' ass off, give me the cash 'cause—

MJG not playing no games

If you not speakin' good, don't be sayin' my name

Nigga, no, it ain't okay with you; within a day or two— (Two)

I'ma track you down and pull a motherfucking Rae Carruth

Ain't no way you niggas can hide

I can get you in the house, I can get you outside

I'ma load the pump up (Pump up), lay down, jump up (Jump up)

Surprise, everybody finna help me with my come-up

Damn, I done made all of y'all shit your jeans

This look like it might be a job for Mr. Clean

Ol' bootleg nigga, you's a knock-off, an imitation

Local-ass kingpin nigga with a limitation

You don't want no drama with me

’Cause I got the ghost of Jeffrey Dahmer with me, yeah!

[Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G.]

R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-Relax and take notes

While I-while I take tokes of the marijuana smoke

I-I-I just want the paper (Uh-huh), I just-I just want the paper (Uh-huh)

Relax and take notes

While I-while I take tokes of the marijuana smoke

Relax and take notes, gun-smoke, gun-smoke

I just want the paper (Uh-huh), I just-I just want the paper (Uh-huh)

I-I-I just want the paper (Uh-huh), I just-I just want the paper (Uh-huh)

[Verse 3: Project Pat]

Suckers want to see me fall, fall like a ton of bricks

It'll never happen, dog—Project Pat-uh play it slick

Flick when I'm in the ride, nine-milli' homicide

Done when you come wrong, shoot suckers in the dome

Always about the cheese, didn't wanna go there (There)

He don't want to pay me? Where he stay? Let's roll there (There)

What's crooked as a crooked letter? Humpback, humpback

Soda cook the dope together, jump back, jump back (Jump back)

Meet any weather, cock it, pump back, pump back (Pump back)

If you bust it first, I'ma dump back, dump back (Dump back)

Down South, we gon' hustle 'til the rooster crow

My nose runnin' still, 'cause a nigga used to blow

If pockets low, I'll let you know—don't turn around

A hair-trigger that'll bust—don't make a sound

I'ma tell you what you do: Lay it on the ground

Don't be hesitatin', fool, before I blow you down

[Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G.]
