[laughs]
Yeah, uh uh
Turn me up a little bit
Yeah kid, Harlem on the rise
Yeah, turn me up a little bit more
Uh-huh, uh-huh
We like it
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Yeah kid, Harlem on the rise
This the remix `98
And you don`t want no problem with us guys
Let`s go
[Chorus: Puffy, (Mase), | Carl Thomas |]
I been around (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
I been around the world (Uh-huh, uh-huh) | I been around |
I been around (Uh-huh, uh-huh) | Been around |
I been around the world (Uh-huh, uh-huh) | Ai-yeah |
I been around (Uh-huh, uh-huh) | Aiii, yeah-yeah-yeah |
We ain`t gon` stop
I been around the world (Uh-huh, uh-huh) | Whoaou |
I been around
We don`t even know how to stop
I been around the world
[Verse One: Mase]
Yo, yo
Now trick what? Lace who?
That ain`t what Mase do
Got a lotta girls that`ll love to replace you
Tell it to your face boo, not behind your back
Cats talk slick, we never mind that
Funny never find that Puff a dimestack
Write hot stuff that make people say `Rewind that`
People know, you go against the Harlem Jiggalo
Getcha hoe, lick her low, make your girl trick your dough
I represent honies with money, fly guys, and jets
Ride with the tints that be thirty-five percent
Hoes hope I lay, so I look both ways
Cop says okay, my tint smoke gray
No way, people leave without handin` me my chips
Got plans to get my land and my 6
People outta town`ll understand these hits
Pop champagne like I won a championship
[Chorus: Puffy, (Carl Thomas)]
I been around (Been around)
I been around the world (I been around)
I been around (Been around)
I been around the world (Ai-yeah)
I been around (Aiii, yeah-yeah-yeah)
I been around the world
Can`t stop the power
I been around (Whoaou)
I been around the world
[Verse Two: Puff Daddy]
Yea-yea, yeah, yeah
I was in one bedroom, dreamin of a million
Now my beach houses creamed to the ceiling
I was a gentleman livin in tenements
Now I`m swimmin` in all the women every tens
Went from Bad Boys to the Crushed Linen Men
Now my dividends be the new Benjamins
Chicks of all complexions, I like cinnamon
Mase you got some girls, well playboy
Send `em in
What you waitin` for let the freakshow begin
How they came in a truck [Mase:] (Nah Puff, that`s a Benz)
Mercedes, come here baby
You don`t like the way it`s hot and hazy
Never shady, you must be crazy
It`s ridiculous how they keep their lips on this
Don`t kiss right there, girlfriend I`m ticklish
And I be switchin fees with a wrist full of G`s
Playa please, I`m the macaroni with the cheese
[Chorus: Puffy, (Carl Thomas)]
I been around
Yea-yea, yeah, yeah
I been around the world (I been around)
I been around (Been around)
I been around the world (Ai-yeah)
I been around (Aiii, yeah-yeah-yeah)
I been around the world
Can`t stop the power
I been around (Whoaou)
I been around the world
[Verse Three: Mase, Puff Daddy]
What, what
You don`t know who the hell I be
Can tell I be
Now hasta la vista, c`est la vie
Now what have we a cat in a Bentley waggy
That keep cats saggy, roll with P-Daddy
Some be wanna bag me, girls be one to stab me
I be more than gladly to tell a foe
Yo, you ain`t offendin` me
It ain`t like you the third son of the Kennedy
Or even in a mob where you can send for me
But all until you talk you don`t ever spend a G
I know how it be
You know me from before when I used to detour
Down in B-more, push the E or
Days I just kick it
My crew buys Crystal just so we can spit it
All that expensive stuff just so that we can shit it
Be a lot of places that you niggaz can`t visit
Talking cause I live it
[repeat Chorus]
[Outro: (Heard in background)]
The remix
9-8, B.I.G. forever
Can`t stop and we won`t stop
We don`t even know how to stop
Let`s go, Big ???, Big Carl
Harlem on the rise
and you don`t want no problem with us guys
L-O-X, Little Justin
I see Quincy
Ha ha ha, ahh, 9-8 we got a game
We gon keep puttin it on your ass
And we won`t stop, we don`t even know how to stop
[repeat chorus till fade]
