Puff Daddy & Mase Been Around The World Lyrics

[Intro: Mase]

Yo yo, this Mase, youknowhatI'msayin?
You got n____z that don't like me for whatever reason
You got n____z that don't wanna see me rich
You got n____z that's mad, cause I'm always with they b____
Then you got n____z that just don't like me
You know, the, those P.H.D. n____z
But you know I pop a lot of s___ but I back it up though
see it's a difference, a lot of n____z pop s___
But a lot of n____z don't make hits
But it's like this whole Bad Boy s___
we come to bring it to y'all n____z, me, B.I., Puff, Lox, whoever
Black Rob
If you wanna dance, we dance

[Verse One: Mase]

Now trick what? Lace who? That ain't what Mase do
Got a lot of girls that'd love to replace you
Tell you to your face Boo, not behind your back
n____z talk s___, we never mind that
Funny, never find that, Puff a dime stack
Write hot s___, and make a n____ say, 'Rewind that'
n____z know, we go against the Harlem Jigalo
Getcha hoe, lick her low, make the b____, hit the do'
I represent honies with money fly guys with gems
Drive with the tints that be thirty-five percent
Hoes hope I lay so I look both ways
Cop says, 'OK, my tint smoke gray'
No way, n____ leave without handin me my s___
Got plans to get my Land and my 6
n____z outta pen'll understand this s___
Pop champagne like I won a championship (uhh, uhh)

[Chorus: sung by Notorious B.I.G.
spoken words by Puff]

Been around the world and I I I
And we been playa hated [say what?]
I don't know and I don't know why
Why they want us faded [ahehe]
I don't know why they hate us [yeah]
Is it our ladies? [uh-huh]
Or our drop Mercedes [uhh, uhh]
Bay-bee bay-BEE!

[Verse Two: Puff Daddy]

I was in one bedroom, dreamin of a million (yeah)
Now I'm in beach houses, cream to the ceiling (that's right)
I was a gentleman, livin in tenements
Now I'm swimmin in, all the women that be tens (hoo)
Went from Bad Boys to the Crushed Linen Men
Now my divi-dends be the new Benjamins (uh-huh)
Hoes of all complexions, I like cinnamon
Mase you got some hoes well n____, send em in (c'mon)
What you waitin for, let the freak show begin
How they came in a truck? (Mase: Nah Puff, that's a Benz)
Mercedes, c'mere baby, you don't like the way
it's hot and hazy, never shady, you must be crazy
It's ridiculous, how you put your lips on this
Don't kiss right there girlfriend I'm ticklish (heheh)
And I be switchin fees with a wrist full of G's
n____ please, I'm the macaroni with the cheese

[Chorus]

[Verse Three: Puff Daddy, Mase]

Now Puff rule the world, even though I'm young
I make it my biz to see that all ladies come (yeah)
Get em all strung from the tip of my tongue
Lick em places n____z wouldn't dare put they faces (c'mon)

Before I die, hope I, remake a flow by
In the brand new treasure on a old try
Now when my third dry, even when the smoke lie
Eat the mami's chocha and drive her loca
We never ride far, packed five in a car
Save money for the drinks, I'm about to buy the bar (yeah)
And everywhere I drive I'm a star, little kids
all on the corner scream, 'That's my car!'

It was days couldn't be fly, now I'm in a T.I.
Come in clubs with B.I., now a n____ V.I. (uh-huh)
Rock tons of gold, nuff money I fold
Roll the way you wanna roll, break a hundred out the toe

[Chorus w/ slight modifications]
[line 1, Puff:] C'mon, yeah yeah, uh-huh
[line 2, Puff:] We been playa hated!
[line 3, Puff:] Why?
[line 4, Puff:] Why they want us hated!
[line 5, Puff:] Why they hate us?
[line 6, Puff:] Is it our ladies?
[line 7, Puff:] Say what?
[line 8, Puff:] Yeah, bay-bee bay-BEE!

[Chorus w/ Puff talking while B.I.G. sings]
You know, sometimes I gotta ask myself
Why's there so much jealousy in the world?
Don't look at mine, get yours
[music fades]
