Lyrics

[Intro: Foxy Brown] Hip-hop, Brooklyn! [Verse 1: Foxy Brown] Damn, the rap game done changed Everytime I turn around niggas spittin' nigga's names '96 was when the love was real When Big came and took the whole Brooklyn to fame Straight off of St. James Lookin' all Dapper Don, he threw on Party & Bullshit, it was on And, B.I.G. spot'll never be claimed 'Cause Mrs. Wallace, Cease and Roc they carry your name And later on in '96 when Hovi came and Ain't No Nigga was the key to his fame Introducin' a little Brooklyn girl by the name of Fox Brown About to shut this rap shit down and To the world we was Bonnie & Clyde And everything my nigga Jay said I'm ready to ride Then I'll Be came to skyrocket our fame And 2 million sales later bet I rode the same, and [Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G. & Nas sample] Remember back in the days when niggas had waves Gazelle shades and corn braids Takin' niggas on a trip straight to Memory Lane Remember back in the days when niggas had waves Gazelle shades and corn braids Takin' niggas on a trip straight to Memory Lane [Verse 2: Foxy Brown] Damn, the rap game done changed, and Then Nas came and The Firm was born We snatched AZ and Mega and our team was born I took 'em on Puff tour, turn around Nas gone And the whole crew follow, what a hard pill to swallow and I had to thug it out and go in the zone And rock 30 thousand on my muh'fuckin' own but I couldn't break down, I couldn't moan I got this Ill Na Na blood in my veins, I spar alone! Then 4 weeks later Puff ended at home at the Garden The show I came up on the throne See I, can't believe my niggas left me alone And I don't buy the shit about Puff was treatin' 'em wrong How the fuck we tryna pull weight on this man tour? At the time Puff 8 mil, the fuck you mad for? That's the problem with niggas, see they worse than broads Want a bitch to conceal they scars, yeah [Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G. & Nas sample] Remember back in the days when niggas had waves Gazelle shades and corn braids Takin' niggas on a trip straight to Memory Lane Remember back in the days when niggas had waves Gazelle shades and corn braids Takin' niggas on a trip straight to Memory Lane [Verse 3: Foxy Brown] It's called the vapors Soon as you stack some paper These cowards got the nerve to face ya They got the gall to page ya How the fuck you have a lil' soldier and replace her with a dozier But like I told ya Fox is a trooper I'll walk straight pass ya like I never fuckin' knew ya Listen man, I'm the first bitch to sign to Def Jam How can't I be the best, I'm from the best, man '97 was the year Kim came with her best plan To go straight at her best friend I thought it was a cute lil' spar 'Till I heard her on the Flex tape describin' my car Mo' money, mo' problems, kid I guess you never did expect me to blow this big and I know my fans won the battle I fought But understand I keep her breathin', I'm her life support [Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G. & Nas sample] Remember back in the days when niggas had waves Gazelle shades and corn braids Takin' niggas on a trip straight to Memory Lane Remember back in the days when niggas had waves Gazelle shades and corn braids Takin' niggas on a trip straight to Memory Lane
