Forever Ready / Band On A Bible lyrics
by Jazz Cartier
Part One: Forever Ready
[Intro: Interviewer, The Notorious B.I.G.]
I was in the chicken spot, around my way, me and my boys, just hustlin', when I heard "The Real Love Remix". It was buzzin', oh sh*t, so yeah, we was buzzin' though, it ain't nothin', you know what I'm sayin'? I don't really be trippin' off that, you know? A lot of my peoples is with me, my peoples havin' a good time. My mom's is ight, my daughter ight, so I'm good, I don't, fane, you know what I'm sayin'? I leave that alone, you know? Cuz that's, that's when the eagle's startin' in
Exactly, exactly
[Verse 1]
Uh
The feds try to catch me on the run, I don't stop and go
Sick of telling n*ggas I'm the sh*t, I just drop a load
Music couldn't make a n*gga rich, I was choppin' blow
Cuttin' every corner for a dollar when the stock was low
Every time I pull up with the clique, see a flock of hoes
Get some private time with your chick, tell her lock the door
Know you see me walking with this ho, why you knocking for?
Is you with the opps? Why the f*ck you c*ck-blocking for?
Don't think I'mma ask if you with her or not
I'll assume that's your b*tch cause you with her a lot
I'm always too high to consider a lot
I'm the Biggie in my city, I've been Ready to Die
Had to check my last plug, so he sold me a chicken
He a paranoid mind, wouldn't give me his digits
So I had to get his contacts through one of my b*tches
He wanted pus*y and she wanted the business
'Cuzzi
[Interlude: Interviewer, Biggie]
You, you definitely, the heavy weight contender for the east coast
Yeah
You know, we, we drawin' you out there. It's like...
It's all good
You know
I can take the weight, you know what I'm sayin'?
[Verse 2]
I'm never losing service on the block, cause I call the shots
Running up my minutes with your sh*t, cause you talk a lot
n*ggas don't need you anymore, you's a pocket watch
Remind me why we should give a f*ck, cause we all forgot
My bank account's looking rather pleasant
I been that n*gga ever since an adolescent
Since fifteen, I've been running out of blessings
And now you f*ck n*ggas running out of seconds
I'm talking 'bout
Every day, lead a n*gga on, make him think he could
Someone said your man stands a chance, I don't think he stood
Brain making way more promises than Pinky could
Taking over the world, I know you n*ggas wish you could
n*ggas always cracking under pressure, I don't ever break
Can't say I'm flowing anymore, I just levitate
n*ggas like "you can go to sleep when you second place"
But when we second place, we don't celebrate...
Nah
[Interlude: Interviewer, Biggie]
I can take the weight, you know what I'm sayin'? Because, I left it that way, you know what I'm sayin'?
Ha ha
Ain't no front with me, I keeps it real, you know? Whatever y'all wanna hear, y'all gon' hear it from me, cuz I, I don't bite my tongue for no one, you know what I'm sayin'? I'm a real one, whenever, bring it
Part Two: Band on a Bible
[Verse]
Me, my n*ggas and the money
pus*y ain't nothing
I can get it when I want it
Right now, I don't want it
Right now, I want the money
Walk in the bank
I tell the bank teller "bust it open"
The bank teller see my bank statements
I ain't gotta say a word and she bust it open
My b*tch got a burner...all we do is point and shoot
I tell em "do em how you do it baby"
And if a n*gga lay his hands on you, never hesitate
Do him how you do it baby
Bands...a n*gga only want bands
I put a band in my bible, and I pray for more bands
God damn
[Hook]
I used to lose sleep over money but
Now a n*gga ballin' now
Thousand dollar dinners with my n*ggas cause we balling now
All my n*ggas balling now
All my n*ggas balling now
I only want these bands baby, don't you hear them calling out
Don't you hear them calling out
Don't you hear them calling out
Only want these bands baby, don't you hear them calling out
