The Notorious B.I.G. - What’s Beef? lyrics

The Commission: Uncle Paulie, P diddy
Cease-A-Leo Degenaro (yeah)
Charli Baltimore, Iceberg Slim (That's right)
The most shady Frankie, baby we here
Do you know what beef is?
We ain't goin' nowhere
Do you know what beef is? Uh uh
Ask yourself do you know what beef is?
Uh uh, ugh, uh huh (Come on)

Ha ha ha ha ha, check out this bizarre (Ugh)
Rapper style used by me, the B-IG
I put my key, you put your key in
Money we'll be seein' ill
Reach the fuckin' ceiling
Check it, check it (Ahh)

My Calico been cocked (Uh, huh)
This rap Alfred Hitchcock
Drop top notch, playa hatin' gon' stop (Ugh)
This instant, rappers too persistent


Quick to spit Biggie name on shit
Make my name taste like ass when you speak it
(Haha) see me in the streets your
Jewelry? You can keep it
That be our little secret (Shh)
See, me (Ugh) B, that is, I, that is
Gee-whiz, motherfuckers still in my biz
(Uh huh, uh huh) don't they know my nigga
Gutter fuckin' kidnap kids? (Uh)
Fuck 'em in they ass
Throw 'em over the bridge? (O oh)
That's how it is, my shit is laid out (What?)
Fuck that "beef" shit
That shit is played out (Played out)
Y'all got the gall
All I make is one phone call
All y'all disappear by tomorrow (Haha)
All your guns is borrowed
(Ugh) , I don't feel sorrow
Actually, your man passed the Gat to me
Now check this

What's beef?
Beef is when you need two Gats to go to sleep
Beef is when your moms ain't
Safe up in the streets
Beef is when I see you
Guaranteed to be in ICU, one more time
What's beef? Beef is when you make your
Enemies start your Jeep
Beef is when you roll no
Less than thirty deep beef is when I see you
Guaranteed to be in ICU, check it (yeah)

I done smoked with the best of 'em (Uh, huh)
Shot at the rest of 'em (Uh, huh)
Was about a hundred or more, maybe less
Of 'em got my rocks off
That nigga from the Brook' just be
Wildin' on you, just be stylin' on you
(You so crazy) and I tried to warn you
But your eyes fucked up
Now I cleared them shit's with hit's
You on the fuckin' bench (Mm)
Pardon my French but, uh, sometimes
I get kind of
Peeved at these weak MCs (Don't stop)
With the supreme baller-like lyrics
I call 'em like I see 'em, G
Y'all niggas sound like me (yeah)
Y'all was grimy in the early nineties
Far behind me it ain't hard to find me
Number one with the booyaka (Booyaka)
Give me the Remy and the chronic
Ain't no tellin' what I do to ya (I do to ya)
It's obvious the game's new to ya (New to ya)
Take them ends you make (Ehehe)
And spend 'em on a tutor, hah
One shot, I'm through with ya

What's beef?
Beef is when you need two Gats to go to sleep
(Don't sleep) beef is when your moms ain't
Safe up in the streets (Ain't safe)
Beef is when I see you
Guaranteed to be in ICU
(I see you) , one more time
What's beef? (What's beef)
Beef is when you make your
Enemies start your Jeep (Start my Jeep)
Beef is when you roll no
Less than thirty deep (Thirty deep)
Beef is when I see you
Guaranteed to be in ICU, there'll be nothin
(I see you)

There'll be nothin' but smooth sailin'
(Sailin')
When I spit shots, now your crew's bailin'
(Bailin')
All I got is heat and tough talk for you
(Uh, huh)
Tie you up, cut your balls off just for you
(Oooh) man, listen, straight torture
Look what that slick shit bought ya
A first class ticket to Lucifer
Real name Christopher
Watch me set it off like Vivica
Here lies your demise, close your eyes
(Uh, huh) think good thoughts
Die while your skin start to glisten
Pale blue hands get cold your soul's risen
It's bad 'cause I just begun
What make the shit real bad: I was havin' fun
(Ahaha)

What's beef? (What's beef?)
Beef is when you need two Gats to go to sleep
(Don't sleep) beef is when your moms ain't
Safe up in the streets (Ain't safe)
Beef is when I see you
Guaranteed to be in ICU, one more time
(I see you) what's beef? (What's beef?)
Beef is when you make your
Enemies start your Jeep (Start my Jeep)
Beef is when you roll no
Less than thirty deep (Thirty deep)
Beef is when I see you (I see you)
Guaranteed to be in ICU, and I'm through

Yeah, and I'm through ugh, ugh
The life after now, ask yourself
Ugh do you really know what beef is?
The life after then ask yourself
Ugh do you really want beef?
The life after ahahaha!

Shit, I don't want no beef aha!
