The Notorious B.I.G. - Somebody Knows lyrics

[Intro] And the question remains, why was he gunned down in the streets of Los Angeles and who was responsible? [Hook/Chorus – Faith Evans & The Notorious B.I.G.] I'm feeling some type of way Can somebody explain why? “who shot ya” Why they took your life away and left filled with some much pain I gotta make it on my own, like who's gon' hold me down, down “who shot ya” Your life was so refound, can't nobody wear your crown They took your life in vain but your memories still remain It's a misery to me, I'll give anything to know who shot ya And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya Somebody knows [Verse 1 – Faith Evans & The Notorious B.I.G.] We were having a good time up in the party Even though we wasn't really speaking at the time And we never got to have a conversation That still weighs heavy on my mind Busy ignoring each other We didn't know if we be over In just a matter of time “neighbors call the cops, said they heard mad shots” [Pre-Hook/Chorus – Faith Evans & The Notorious B.I.G.] I felt so helpless and frustrated and I damn near lost my mind And I still don't have the answers even after all this time [Hook/Chorus – Faith Evans & The Notorious B.I.G.] I'm feeling some type of way Can somebody explain why? “who shot ya” Why they took your life away and left filled with some much pain I gotta make it on my own, like who's gon' hold me down, down “who shot ya” Your life was so refound, can't nobody wear your crown They took your life in vain but your memories still remain It's a misery to me, I'll give anything to know who shot ya And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya Somebody knows [Verse 2 – Faith Evans, The Notorious B.I.G. & Both] Can't believe it's been this long Twenty years have come and gone There is so much we need to know “Old school, new school need to learn though” And until I get some kind of resolution I cannot choose to let go “yeah” No help from the police Only hang on to the memories Whoever did it better stay low-key ‘Cause it's hard to creep them Brooklyn streets [Pre-Hook/Chorus – Faith Evans & The Notorious B.I.G.] I felt so helpless and frustrated and I damn near lost my mind “damn near lost my mind” And I still don't have the answers even after all this time [Hook/Chorus – Faith Evans & The Notorious B.I.G.] I'm feeling some type of way Can somebody explain why? “who shot ya” Why they took your life away and left filled with some much pain I gotta make it on my own, like who's gon' hold me down, down “who shot ya” Your life was so refound, can't nobody wear your crown They took your life in vain but your memories still remain It's a misery to me, I'll give anything to know who shot ya And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya Somebody knows [Verse 3 – Busta Rhymes] I don't even know where to start and it's very hard to address it A conversation dealing most n***as don't want to mess with Continue his blessings I sent to you and Mama Wallace To this day I carry a picture of BIG in my wallet While I give you these bars, I try not my composure It has been twenty years and yet you still looking for closure Still can't try over being a baby, not having my father My heart continues to go after CJ and Tanyana Tryna avoid trucking 'bout it, not to revisit the drama Let me remind the shooter that the most gangster n***a is karma Big Poppa, yes, (?) your legacy proper And (?) to provide the answers in your honor Frank and Pac, I hope you had the chance to talk and have it fellas About the truth that would led the way up, both of you ain't tell us You probably up there talking about who really f**ing did it Maybe you a sinners sign with some honest answers in it I walk to Tillery park where we use to smoke with Flanton Even after all this time, we could never accept it From Westhouse Brooklyn to being one of the great To the last time we linked up, I shed a tear at your wake [Outro] The Notorious B.I.G. was silence forever, Los Angeles are looking for his k**er
