Yeah.. now in ninety-three
Everybody knows the flav
Fat Joe Da Gangsta, yeah

You know my style

Fat Joe, a.k.a. Da Fat Gangsta

I'm no joke, and I'm far from a prankster
I got skills, aiyyo word life
Suckers is scared, because they know I live trife

As I troop down the streets of a ghetto
Skins are jockin, and always screamin hello
But I keep drivin in my jet black Beamer

I'm not a daydreamer, but I'm known as a scheamer
I'm dead-ass, when it comes to this
And if you $#&@ around, your moms'll reminisce

Thinkin of the good times she spent with her son
Somebody shoulda told you that I wasn't the one
Yes I'm known to get nuff respect

and if you face Fat Joe, well then you face your death
Now in ninety-three, it's time to take a stand
And you know how I'm livin, I'm a bad, bad, man


^!$$%z know the flav
"I'm a bad, bad, man!" [cut and scratched x2]


Check it
All the old folks, hate my guts

Cause I be hittin all they daughters and they big fat butts
Cause I'm the papichulo when it comes to rap
and if you $#&@ with me, then you leave handicapped

I don't give a $#&@, don't care who you are
I gotta say peace to my peeps GangStarr
Some real mother$#&@ers from around the hood

When I chills with them, we be up to no good
Hittin skins, makin ends
Loungin with my friends in my fat BM

Whether Uptown in the Boogie Down
Or checkin out stunts in the Polo Ground
See just like Mel, I'm internationally known

And I'm mob related, like Al Capone, check it
Too hot to handle, blow you like a candle
You never catch Joe in the middle of a scandal

Now in ninety-three it's time to take the stand
And you know how I'm livin, I'm a bad, bad, man!


Everybody knows the flav
"I'm a bad, bad, man!" [cut and scratched x2]


One day I was chillin, caught a buckshot
The ^!$$% was butt, so then he gets no props
Word spread fast around town

I was layin six feet deep underground, check it
^!$$%z wished the worst, but spoke too fast
Cause here I am and I'm ready to blast *gunshot*

The cops must have missed, takin me for a (*##$
Because they tried to gas me, and make me turn snitch
But I'm not the one for peace

So I turned around and said, "$#&@ the police!"
I'm the type to handle this on my own
Pack two joints and pass one to Tone

There's no shame in my game, I do what I gotta do
See I'm rollin with a crazy live crew
Now in ninety-three it's time to take a stand

And you know how I'm livin I'ma bad, bad, man!

Yeah! ^!$$%z know the flav

"I'm a bad, bad, man!" [cut and scratched]
Nuff respect to my man Jazzy J
Diamond D, Showbiz and A.G., and I'm out

Word

"I'm a bad, bad, man!" [cut and scratched to end]
