The Notorious B.i.g. Last Day
Any excuse to highlight some music from the Notorious B.I.G is welcome, and what better occasion than the legendary rapper’s 48th birthday? After all, there are several members of the HNHH community that appreciate these blasts from the past, reminders of the music that shaped the genre today. It’s no secret that Biggie is regarded as one of the most influential figures, and though he only recorded two albums while living, the classics he left behind still resonate. “Last Day,” his classic Life After Death Lox collaboration, stands tall among the highlights.
If the emcee pedigree wasn’t enough to entice, consider that the track also happens to check off another birthday box — that of Havoc, arguably one of the most underrated producers in the entire game. Here, he conjures up a minimalistic and cinematic mafioso boom-bap banger, the perfect backdrop for Sheek Luciano, Pinero, Kiss, and Big Poppa. It’s even better knowing the dynamic between the Lox and Biggie, who was somewhat of a big homie to the young trifecta. You already know Biggie had to close out the track with a flourish — and that he did, especially in the latter half of his verse.
Happy birthday to Biggie and Havoc!
The Notorious B.I.G. – Last Day (ft. The Lox) (prod. Havoc)
Lyrics
[Chorus: Jadakiss]
Can I live ’til my last day?
Hittin’ honies that be na-sty
Gettin’ money in the fast way
And I only care halfway
But I still can’t let you pass me
[Verse 1: Sheek Louch]
Yo what’s beef to you, three niggas with hoodies and bats
That ain’t shit compared to one small cat with gats
When we came here we cut off all kind circulation
Breathin’, eatin’, the whole situation
When we do our shit we do our shit for real
While you take your money for your deal and make your own beats
Compose your own sheets, that’s aight but chill
I’ma spend that mil and cop only hot shit
Rock top shit you know how The LOX get
Then you can see me flyin’ in the Bentley cockpit
LOX and B-I, hold our grica down for years
Gang not, but we been had our black tears
Niggas under the stairs only understand what we got
Underground, all above must get shot
You couldn’t book me Dano, Sheek Luciano put the burners
To all y’all, what nigga bring it I’m callin’ y’all
[Verse 2: Jadakiss]
You already know what it’s about when I run up in your house
Put the gun up in your mouth and get the money out the couch
Hearin’ you out is senseless, perhaps for instance
I give this faggot a french kiss
Black gloves, no prints, dark tints
Word on the street they ain’t heard from him since
You know about life after kickin’ the kid in
Since me and my mi-dan can flip seven gri-dams
Scri-dam, the flow is forbidden
Either you ridin’ or you dyin’ ’cause we swingin’ iron
LOX and Poppa, turning niggas into Jim Hoffa
Who gon’ stop us? Your last joint double copper
You gettin’ money or your runnin’ from the Feds
Ain’t nothin’ over here but 16 with one in the head
And I solemnly swear
That all y’all niggas out there got a problem this year
[Chorus: Jadakiss]
Can I live ’til my last day?
Hittin’ honies that be na-sty
Gettin’ money in the fast way
And I only care halfway
But I still can’t let you pass me
Can I live ’til my last day?
Hittin’ honies that be na-sty
Gettin’ money in the fast way
And I only care halfway
But I still can’t let you pass me
[Verse 3: Styles P]
Before you think of keepin’ me down, heatin’ me down
The flow like water get deep and you drown
With no soul, many niggas roll with no goal
Even the small gun got a little black hole
Your destiny is something you can never figure out
Niggas is never happy ’til there’s blood up in your mouth
There’s a lot of killers, but who the hell are you to blame
There’s a lot of dead, how the hell you take the pain?
Live with it got money you better give with it
My man had the thug in him did his bid with it
Get married to the game but never have a kid with it
Advice from the wise, slice the pies
Too many schemes devised when dreams collide
Teams provide war for the street to absorb
You stashed in the ceiling and you slept on the floor
Only a blind thug’ll fall in love with a whore
[Break: The Notorious B.I.G.]
Uhh, uhh, uhh
[Verse 4: The Notorious B.I.G.]
Who the fuck wanna squeeze?
My Desert E’s make MC’s freeze
You wakin’ up in cold sweats, they just dreams
You still apologizin’
Analyzin’, my size and your size and
Realizin’, a fist fight would be asinine
You just pop wines, I must pop nines
Genuine steel piece, nozzle in your grill piece
You’re shook up, two bricks, every cook up
We can hook up, all I see is the future
Disrespect, I shoot ya
By the way, them bricks get flipped weekly
Sold by soldiers that mix weed with the leak leak
Die for a dollar, nigga, life ain’t sweet
Play for keeps, wet shirts with experts on the creep
Our beef is my fiancé, about to marry it
Illegal transactions in Farragut with Arabics
Why not, they fit twelve up in the bedroom
Imagine what they stash is like, make you a classic like
My first LP, beef with me is unhealthy
Fuck around and get an ulcer, loose your pulse or
Collapsed lung, look how many gats I brung
For them homos, still doin’ promos
Break both your legs you’re movin’ slow-mo
Got shine to glow mo’
Nine hundred and ninety six grams, you need four mo’
[Chorus: Jadakiss]
Can I live ’til my last day?
Hittin’ honies that be na-sty
Gettin’ money in the fast way
And I only care halfway
But I still can’t let you pass me
Can I live ’til my last day?
Hittin’ honies that be na-sty
Gettin’ money in the fast way
And I only care halfway
But I still can’t let you pass me
Can I live ’til my last day?
Hittin’ honies that be na-sty
Gettin’ money in the fast way
And I only care halfway
But I still can’t let you pass me
