Biggie Smalls Cousin: The Notorious E.I.T.

By The Notorious E.I.T. (aka Ben Myers)


Inspired by the Notorious B.I.G. I wrote this track in a fit of empathy.

JUICY II

[INTRO]

Yeah, this album is dedicated to all the teachers that tol’ me I’d never amount to nuttin,’ to all the RAs that lived in the dorms I was chillin' in that called the police on me when I was just trying to live the dream and feed my mind, and all the whiteboys in the struggle, you know what I’m sayin’?

Uh-ha, it's all good baby bay-bee, uh

[VERSE 1]

It was all a dream,
I used to read Boys’ Life magazine,
Bad habits, skipping’classes, squirting visine
Open campus, studyhall,
Every Saturday: Bar-Mitzvahs, Hey Mr., Prank Phonecalls,
I let my grades fall till my teacher called,
Sneakin’ out late night, sippin’ on stolen alcohol,
Way back, when I had the red and black knapsack,
With the hat to match.
Remember math class, Dude? Doo-dah, doo-dah,
You never thought that trigonometry would take it this far
Now I’m the boss-man ‘cause they say I am,
Time for 4-0-1 K’s, chillin’ on paid Vay-kays, (vacations, fool)
Born wise-ass, the opposite of a kiss-ass,
Remember when I used to bump Snoop Dogg at gym class,
Peace to lacrosse, football, rugby,
Detention, suspension and groundings,
I’m running work like you thought I would,
Call the cell, same number new hood,
It’s all good.

Uh, and if you don't know, now you know, brotha’, uh

[CHORUS]

You know very well who you are
Don't let em hold you down,

reach for the stars,
You had a goal -- but not that many
'cause you're the only one,

I'll give you good and plenty

[VERSE TWO]

I made the grades as a common cheat,
From GREs to LSATs, and SATs,
And I’m far from cheap,
I buy drinks for my boys all day,
Get f’d up, it’s the college way,
The work and writing keep me busy,
Girls used to miss me,
Now they drunk dial when they tipsy,
I never thought it could happen – this responsibility stuff,
I was too used to slackin’ off and stuff,
Now the boss want my notes,
payin’ for what I wrotes,
From Massachusetts, all around the east coast,
Building condos for Kings,
cash flow is sweet,
Schedule is packed with all the peeps I gotta meet,
Livin’ life without fear,
Built 250 units just this year,
Lunches, brunches, runnin’ on jet fuel,
Considered a fool cause I went to public school,
Stereotypes of a white jock misunderstood,
And it’s still all good.

Uh...and if you don't know, now you know, brotha'...

[VERSE THREE]

Blackberry – PDA, expensin' all of this,
When I was washing dishes man I couldn’t picture this,
50” screen from craigslist found a sofa,
Buying a new ride, like I’m sppos-ta,
Phone bill, about two C-notes flat,
No need to worry, I got a credit card for that,
And the headache stopped poundin’,
Stackin bills everyday,
No more quarter scroungin’,
Thinkin back, on the days of backpacks,
Now my moms pimps a Movado, and say my son got me dat,
And she loves to show me off to the worl’,
Says her friends got a Jewish daughter, "I should meet the girl,"
They used to fuss when I skipped a discuss,
One week, enjoying my Christmas bonus,
Birth days was the best days,
Now I rest, make my own holidays,
Uh darn right I like the life I live
'Cause I went from positive to positive
And it's all...

(It's sweet) ...and if you don't know, now you know, brotha'..

[CHORUS]
