The eerily titled final song from Biggie’s Life After Death album, released shortly after B.I.G. was killed

The title is a play on “You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You”, a popular song recorded by Dean… Read More [Produced by Jiv Poss, Puff Daddy, Stevie J and DJ Enuff]

[Intro: Puff Daddy]

Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil, for you are with me

Your rod and your staff, they comfort me

You prepare a table for me, in the presence of my enemies

You'll anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

[Verse 1: The Notorious B.I.G.]

Niggas in my faction don't like askin' questions

Strictly gun-testin'

Coke-measurin', givin' pleasure in the Benzito

Hittin' fanny, spendin' chips at Manny's

Hope you creeps got receipts, my peeps get dirty like cleats

Run up in your crib, wrap you in your Polo sheets

Six up in your wig-piece, nigga deceased

Muah, may you rest in peace

With my Sycamore style, more sicker than yours

.44 in 54 draw

As my pilot, steers my Lear; yes, my dear

Shit's official, only the Feds I fear

Here's a tissue, stop your blood clot cryin'

The kids, the dog, everybody dyin', no lyin'

So don't you get suspicious

I'm Big dangerous, you're just a Likkle Vicious

As I leave my competition, respirator style

Climb the ladder to success escalator style

Hold y'all breath, I told y'all

Death controls y'all, Big don't fold y'all, uhh

I spit phrases that'll thrill you

You're nobody 'til somebody kills you

[Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G., Faith Evans & (Puff Daddy)]

You're nobody 'til somebody kills you

(I don't wanna die, God tell me why)

You're nobody, 'til somebody, kills you

(I don't wanna die, God tell me why)

[Verse 2: The Notorious B.I.G.]

Uh, uh, watch Casino

I'm the hip-hop version of Nicky Tarantino, ask Nino

He know, green with envy, the green tempts me

To make the rich the enemy, and take their cheese

Take their spots, take their keys

Make my faculty live happily ever after in laughter

Hah, never seen Cristal pour faster

And tell them bastards, knuckleheads squeeze lead

Three of mine dead, nothin' left to do

But tear they ass to shreds, leave 'em in bloodshed

Incidents like this, I take trips

Lay up in Miami with Tamika and Tammy (huh)

Some Creole C-O bitches I met on tour

Push a peach Legend Coupe, gold teeth galore (say what?)

Told me meet 'em in the future later

They'll take me shoppin', buy me lavender and fuschia Gators

Introduce me to player haters and heavy weighters

Rich bitch shit, drinkin' Cristal 'til they piss the shit, uhh

Thorough bitches, adapt to any borough bitches

Be in spots where they were no bitches, you feel me

Reminisce on dead friends too

You're nobody 'til somebody kills you

[Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G., Faith Evans & (Puff Daddy)]

You're nobody 'til somebody kills you

(I don't wanna die, God tell me why)

You're nobody, 'til somebody, kills you

(I don't wanna die, God tell me why)

You're nobody 'til somebody kills you

(I don't wanna die, God tell me why)

You're nobody, 'til somebody, kills you

(I don't wanna die, God tell me why)

Uhh, uhh

[Verse 3: The Notorious B.I.G.]

You can be the shit, flash the fattest five (that's right)

Have the biggest dick, but when your shell get hit

You ain't worth spit, just a memory

Remember he used to push the champagne Range (I remember that)

Silly cat, wore suede in the rain

Swear he put the G in game, had the Gucci frame

Before Dana Dane, thought he ran with Kane

I can't recall his name (what was his name?)

You mean that kid that nearly lost half his brain over two bricks of cocaine?

Gettin' his dick sucked by Crackhead Lorraine?

A fuckin' shame, duke's a lame, what's his name?

Dark-skin Jermaine, see what I mean?

[Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G., Faith Evans & (Puff Daddy)]

You're nobody 'til somebody kills you

(I don't wanna die, God tell me why)

You're nobody, 'til somebody, kills you

(I don't wanna die, God tell me why)

You're nobody 'til somebody kills you

(I don't wanna die, God tell me why)

You're nobody, 'til somebody, kills you

(I don't wanna die, God tell me why)
