《It Has Been Said》歌词

[00:00:00] It Has Been Said - The Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie Smalls)

[00:00:02] It has been, it has been, it has been

[00:00:05] It has been said,

[00:00:06] That there has been known to be bloodshed

[00:00:08] Over bread,

[00:00:09] Men who have bled to death, dead

[00:00:11] Strapped to beds, pipe bombs, dynamite,

[00:00:14] Lead money power respect, street cred, yeah

[00:00:17] It's scary ain't it?

[00:00:18] Picture yourself going out as a hero

[00:00:20] Picture mural pictures of us painted

[00:00:22] All over street corners

[00:00:23] Fans meet to mourn us,

[00:00:25] While we meet the coroners

[00:00:26] Notorious tried to warn us

[00:00:28] We watched,

[00:00:29] So many Biggie backed off of

[00:00:30] Biggie's back and 'Pac's, landmarks, history in rap

[00:00:34] Statistically in fact;

[00:00:36] It's so sad to see us re-enact

[00:00:38] These tragic events, which lead us back

[00:00:40] To where we left off on March 9th

[00:00:42] To come from such hard knock lifes

[00:00:43] And make it up out of them, hit the spotlights

[00:00:46] And, once they're on us this is our lives

[00:00:48] Thrust out for all eyes to cast upon us

[00:00:50] To see who can last the longest

[00:00:51] And he who lasts the longest,

[00:00:53] Must be the strongest

[00:00:54] In this concrete jungle,

[00:00:55] Where this dog eat dog mentality comes from

[00:00:58] It's origin,

[00:00:59] Which is usually originated from cats who starving

[00:01:02] Or it could just be somebody's horror,

[00:01:04] That just horri-fies

[00:01:05] And applies to his persona or the sizes

[00:01:08] In his entou-rage, that intimidates the people

[00:01:10] To the point that you know that he's gangster

[00:01:13] He ain't just say sh*t, you just believe it

[00:01:14] Since B.I.B. taught us niggaz to think big

[00:01:16] I'm been about my business since then,

[00:01:18] So anxious

[00:01:19] It ain't how we live,

[00:01:20] It's what he said,

[00:01:21] He did it for Brooklyn

[00:01:22] This I took in, sent chills through my skin

[00:01:25] Vicious, I'm experiencin the same sights as him

[00:01:28] It's what excited Obie to write these poems

[00:01:31] Rolling, going through the same sh*t he spoken

[00:01:34] Open up my eyes so there's no limit in them skies

[00:01:36] When Ready to Die was a sick part of my life

[00:01:39] Palmin that forty-five, plottin to pop my mind

[00:01:42] Then that crooked eye Jamaican

[00:01:43] I'd so many times rewind

[00:01:45] Got me to walk a straight line and get up on my grind

[00:01:48] Get up out the system,

[00:01:49] Who could give him better signs

[00:01:51] No pop of mine could top Big Poppa rhymes

[00:01:54] So possibly I'd be popular huh?

[00:01:57] That's the inspiration I got from my ni**a B.I.

[00:01:59] I took him from coal to diamond,

[00:02:01] I molded his mind

[00:02:02] Enter the most phenomenal artist of any and all time

[00:02:05] I made a Frankenstein,

[00:02:06] My design impressed

[00:02:08] Backpackers and press who said my house was a mess

[00:02:11] Critics lashed,

[00:02:11] Said I made a fortune off of his passin

[00:02:13] All I did was build a dynasty, off of his passion

[00:02:16] And I'm addressing the adolesencents absent to who he is

[00:02:19] The original king of New York,

[00:02:21] Christopher Wallace...

[00:02:21] This is a promise on Diddy's honor,

[00:02:23] I'm a father T'Yanna

[00:02:25] And teach her that with all the drama

[00:02:27] Don't even bother...

[00:02:28] On repeat, all of your albums play back to back

[00:02:31] And I visit your grave cause our friendship's intact

[00:02:33] An immaculate concept, extravagant progress

[00:02:37] Bullet wounds left in my heart, I'm yellin "God bless"

[00:02:40] Regardless to critics yellin that East/West

[00:02:42] I seen the game losing,

[00:02:43] I'm just pressing the reset

[00:02:45] And when the ressurection of you shines through an individual

[00:02:48] Lyrical enough to wear the same crown of thorns literally!

[00:02:51] I'ma pay homage, Brooklyn's finest

[00:02:53] Whether it's Queens or Harlem

[00:02:55] It'll be instant stardom, ni**a!
