[VERSE 1]
Damn the rap game done changed
Everytime I turn around niggaz spittin` nigga`s names
`96 was when the love was real
When Big came and took the whole Brooklyn to fame
Straight off of St. James
Lookin` all Dapper Don, he threw a party and bullshit, it was on
And, B.I.G. spot`ll never be claimed
`Cuz Mrs. Wallace, Cease and Roc carry his name
And later on in `96 when Hovi came and
Ain`t No Nigga was the key to his fame
Introducin` a little Brooklyn girl by the name of Fox Brown
About to shut this rap shit down and
To the world we was Bonnie & Clyde
And everything my nigga Jay said I`m ready to ride
Then I`ll Be came to skyrocket our fame
And 2 million sales later bet I rode the same
[CHORUS 2x] (Notorious B.I.G. from Things Done Changed)
Remember back in the days when niggaz had waves
New Gazellie shades and corn braids
Take you niggaz on a trip straight to Memory Lane
[VERSE 2]
Then Nas came and The Firm was born
We snatched AZ and Mega and our team was born
I took `em on Puff tour, turn around Nas gone
And the whole crew follow, what a hard pill to swallow and
I had to thug it out and go in the zone
And rock 30 thousand on my muhfuckin` own but
I couldn`t break down, I couldn`t moan
I got this Ill Na Na blood in my veins, I spar alone!
Then 4 weeks later Puff ended at home at the Garden
The show I came up on the throne
See I...Can`t believe my niggaz left me alone
And I don`t buy the shit about Puff was treatin` `em wrong
How the fuck we tryna pull weight on this man tour?
At the time Puff 8 mil, the fuck you mad for?
That`s the problem wit niggaz, see they worse than broads
Want a bitch to conceal they scars, yeah
[CHORUS 2x] (Notorious B.I.G. from Things Done Changed)
Remember back in the days when niggaz had waves
New Gazellie shades and corn braids
Take you niggaz on a trip straight to Memory Lane
[VERSE 3]
It`s called the vapors
Soon as you stack some paper
These cowards got the nerve to face ya
They got the gall to page ya
How the fuck you have a lil` soldier and replace her wit a dozier
But like I told ya Fox is a trooper
I`ll walk straight pass ya like I never fuckin` knew ya
Listen man I`m he first bitch to sign to Def Jam
How can`t I be the best, I`m from the best man
`97 was the year Kim came wit her best plan
To go straight at her best friend
I thought it was a cute lil` spar
`Till I heard her on the Flex tape describin` my car
Mo` money, mo` problems, kid
I guess you never did expect me to blow this big and
I know my fans won the battle I fought
But understand I keep her breathin`, I`m her life support
[CHORUS 2x] (Notorious B.I.G. from Things Done Changed)
Remember back in the days when niggaz had waves
New Gazellie shades and corn braids
Take you niggaz on a trip straight to Memory Lane
