[Intro: Puff Daddy]

Uh

Uh-huh, yeah

Uh

Uh-huh, yeah

Uh

Uh-huh, yeah

Goodfellas, uh


[Verse 1: Puff Daddy]

Now, what y'all wanna do?

Wanna be ballers? Shot-callers? Brawlers

Who be dippin' in the Benz wit the spoilers

On the low from the Jake in the Taurus

Tryna get my hands on some Grants like Horace

Yeah, livin' the raw deal, three-course meals

Spaghetti, fettucini and veal

But still, everything's real in the field

And what you can't have now, leave in your will

But don't knock me for tryna bury

Seven zeros, over in Rio de Janeir-y

Ain't nobody's hero, but I wanna be heard

On your Hot 97 every day, that's my word

Swimmin' in women wit they own condominiums

Five plus fives, who drive millenniums

It's all about the Benjamins, what?

I get a fifty-pound bag of ooh for the mutts

Five carats on my hands wit the cuts

In something European chromed out with a clutch, what


[Verse 2: Jadakiss]

I wanna hold figures, fuck being a broke nigga

Drinkin malt liquor, drivin a Bro' Vega

I'm with Mo' sippers, watched by gold diggers (uhh)

Rockin Bejor denims, with gold zippers (c'mon)

Lost your touch we kept ours, poppin' Cristals

Freakin' the three-quarter reptiles (Ahahah)

Enormous cream, forest green

Benz jeep for my team so while you sleep I'ma scheme (That's right)

We see through, that's why nobody never gon' believe you

You should do what we do, stack chips like Hebrews

Don't let the melody intrigue you (Uh-uh) 'cause I leave you

I'm only here for that green paper with the Eagle


[Verse 3: Sheek Louch]

I'm strictly tryna cop those, colossal-sized Picassos

And have papi flip coke outside Delgado's (Whoo!)

Mienda, with cash flowing like Sosa

And a Latin chick transporting in her chocha

Stampedin' over, pop Mo's, never sober

Lex and Range Rovers dealin weight by Minnesota (uhh)

Avoidin' NARCs with camcorders and Chevy Novas (Uh-huh)

Stash in the buildin' with this chick named Alona (Uh-huh)

From Daytona, when I was young I wants to bone her (Uh-huh)

But now I only hit chicks that win beauty pageants (Ahahaha)

Trickin, they takin me skiing, at the Aspens (C'mon)

Uhh, gangsta mental, stay poppin Cristal

Pack a black pist-al in the Ac' Coupe that's dark brown (Whoo!)

Pinky-ringin', gondolas wit the man singin'

Italian music down the river with your chick clingin'

To my bizzalls, player you mad false

Actin' hard when you as pussy as RuPaul


[Outro: Puff Daddy]

C'mon

Come on, come on, uh-huh

Uh-huh, yeah

Uh-huh, yeah

Uh-huh, yeah

Uh-huh, yeah

Ah-heh

Goodfellas

'9-7

Told 'em so

That's right
