Faith Evans - 1970 Somethin' lyrics

[Intro: Notorious B.I.G.] 1970 somethin', 1970 somethin' 1970 somethin', 1970 somethin' 1970 somethin', 1970 somethin' 1970 somthin' [Verse One: Notorious B.I.G.] 1970 somethin' n***a I don't sweat the date, my moms is late So I had to plan my escape, out the skins In this world, the fly girl Tanqueray or Hennessy until I called Earl Ten months in this gut, what the f** I wish moms would hurry up so I could get buck While, Juvenile rippin' mics and sh** New York, New York ready for the likes of this Uh, then came the worst date, May, 21st 2:19 is when my mama's water burst No spouse in the house, so she rolls herself To the hospital, to see if she could get a little help Umbilical chord's wraped around my neck I'm seein' my d**h, and I ain't even took my first step I made it out, I'm bringin' mad joy The doctor looked and said "He's gonna be a Bad Boy." [Hook: Notorious B.I.G. with vocals from Faith Evans ] I remmember back in time (1970 somethin', 1970 somethin') Before all the homies died Before all the dollars and nines I knew that I was goin' somewhere Let me take you back in time (19, 70 somethin', 1970 somethin') Before I even got the rhyme, before I had nickels and Dimes, I knew that I was goin' somewhere [Verse Two: The Game] Would 'Pac be alive, if you let 'Pac drive? Swear to God, to reverse, that I'll give my Left Eye With the right I'll visualize the king of Bed-Stuy Checkin' his daughter, Tyanna into junior high If I was in Brooklyn and B.I. was still alive In 2006, it might sound like this NY, 7-1-8's, 2-1-2's With Sue's rendezvous, it's like Moulin Rouge High fashion, uptown Air Force Ones and Vasquez Puerto Ricans with fat a**es Blazed dutch masters, we dump ashes On models in S cla**es for you ba*tards Catch a cab to Manhattan, with that Broadway actin' You hype, that Belly sh**'ll get you capped and wrapped in plastic Tell the captain to ask Rog' What's Happenin'? I hear, nor speak no evil inside the magnum [Hook: Notorious B.I.G. with vocals from Faith Evans] (1970 somethin', 1970 somethin') I remmember back in time Before all the homies died Before all the dollars and nines I knew that I was goin' somewhere (19, 70 somethin', 1970 somethin') Let me take you back in time [Verse Three: Notorious B.I.G.] Now I'm thirteen, smokin' blunts makin' cream On the drug scene, f** a football team Riskin' ruptured spleens by the age of sixteen Hearin' the coach scream ain't my lifetime dream I mean, I wanna blow up, stack my dough up So school, I didn't show up, it f**ed my flow up Mom said that I should grow up, and check myself Before I wreck myself, disrespect myself Put the d** on the shelf, nah, couldn't see it Scarface, king of New York, I wanna be it Rap was secondary, money was necessary Until I got incarcerated, kinda scary C-74, Mark 8 set me straight Not able to move behind a great steel gate Time to contemplate, damn, where did I fail? All the money I stacked, was all the money for bail [Outro: Notorious B.I.G. with vocals from Faith Evans] I remmember back in time (1970 somethin', 1970 somethin') Before all the homies died Before all the dollars and nines I knew that I was goin' somewhere Let me take you back in time (1970 somethin', 1970 somethin') Before I even got the rhyme, before I had nickels and Dimes, I knew that I was goin' somewhere And I knew that I was going somewhere Ooooh, oooooh 1970 somethin', 1970 somethin'
