What's Beef? Lyrics by The Notorious B.I.G.

The Commission
Uncle Paulie, Big Ditti
Caesar Leo DeGenero (yeahhh)
Tony Baltimore, Iceberg Slim
The most shadiest, Frank 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, uhh

Ha ha ha ha ha, check out this bizarre
rapper style used by me, the B.I.G.
I put my key you put your key in, money we'll be
seein
Will reach the f*ckin ceiling, check, check it
My Calico been cocked (uh-huh) this rap Alfred
Hitchcock
drop top notch playa hating won't stop (uhh)
This instant, rappers too persistant
Quick to spit Biggie name on shit, make my name
taste
like ass when you speak it, see me in the street
your jewelry you can keep it, that be our little
secret
See me, B that is, I that is, G whiz
Motherf*ckers still in my biz
Don't they know my nigga Gutter f*ckin kidnip
kids? (uhh)
F*ck em in the ass, throw em over the bridge
(oooh)
That's how it is, my shit is laid out (what)
F*ck that beef shit, that shit is played out
(played out)
Y'all got to go, all I make is one phone call
All y'all dissapear by tomorrow
All your guns is borrowed, 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 an 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 an ICU, check it

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
whylin on you just be, stylin on you (you so
crazy)
When I, tried to warn you what your eyes f*cked
up
Now I cleared them shits with hits you wanna

Pardon my French but ahh, sometimes I get kinda
peeved at these, weak MC's (don't stop) with the
supreme baller like, lyrics I call em like I see

Y'all niggaz 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)
Gimme the Remi 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 an 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 an ICU, check it (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 to use (oooh)
Man listen straight torture, look what that slick
shit bought ya
A first class ticket to Lucife, real name
Cristopher
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, we'll make the real
bad
now we's 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 an 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 an ICU, and I'm through

(Yeah, and I'm through)
Uhhh, uhhh
It's like that
(Now ask yourself, do you really, know what beef
is?)
Like that
(Then ask yourself)
Uhh
(Do you really, want beef?)
Like that, like that *echoes*
(Ahahaha! Yeah, I like that)
(Big Nash, hit me baby, on and on and on and on)

(Shit, I don't want no beef, ahaaa!)
