(Verse 1 Notorious BIG)
A n***a never been as broke as me – I like that
When I was young I had two pair of Lees, besides that
The pin stripes and the gray
The one I wore on Mondays and Wednesdays
While n***as flirt I'm sewing tigers on my shirts
And alligators I see you later
Here comes the drama, oh
That's that n***a with the fake, blaow
Why you punch me in my face? Stay in your place
Play your position
Here come my intuition
Go in this n***a pocket
Rob him while his friends watchin'
And hoes clockin'
Here comes respect
His crew's your crew or they might be next
Look at they man eye, big man, they never try
So we rolled with them, stole with them
I mean loyalty
(Hook)
I'm trying to look for somebody that the ride with me tell me is that you
Tryna find somebody not gonna lie to me tell me is that you
I been looking for someone to hold me down is that you
Baby tell me is that you, is that you
Baby tell me is that you, is that you
Baby tell me is that you, is that you
Is that you, is that you
(Verse 2 J Cole)
Heart beatin' fast, let a n***a know that he alive
Fake n***as, mad snakes
in the gra** let a n***a know that he arrived
Don't be sleeping on your level cause it's beauty in the struggle n***a
It's beauty in the struggle
Ugliness in the success
Hear my words or listen to my signal of distress
I grew up in the city and thought some times we had less,
Compared to some of my n***as down the block
Man
We were blessed
And life can't be no fairytale, no once upon a time
But I be God damned if a n***a don't be tryin'
Cause all the pain he brought you still linger in your mind?
(Hook)
I'm trying to look for somebody that the ride with me tell me is that you
Tryna find somebody not gonna lie to me tell me is that you
I been looking for someone to hold me down is that you
Baby tell me is that you, is that you
Baby tell me is that you, is that you
Baby tell me is that you, is that you
Is that you, is that you
