[Intro 1: The Notorious B.I.G. & Puff Daddy]
The Commission –
Uncle Paulie, P. Diddy
Cease-A-Leo De Janeiro (Yeah)
Charli Baltimore, Iceberg Slim (That's right)
The most shady—Frankie, baby
We here
Do you know what beef is?
Do you know what beef is?
We ain't goin' nowhere
Uh-uh
Ask yourself
Do you know what beef is?
Uh-uh, ugh, uh-huh (Come on)

[Verse 1: The Notorious B.I.G. & Puff Daddy]
Haha haha ha, check out this bizarre (Ugh)
Rapper style used by me, the B-I-G
I put my key, you put your key in
Money we'll be seein' will reach the fuckin' ceiling
Check it, check it (Ahh)
My Calico been cocked (Uh-huh)
This rap Alfred Hitchcock
Drop top-notch, playa-hatin' gon' stop (Ugh)
This instant, rappers too persistent
Quick to spit Biggie name on shit
Make my name taste like ass when you speak it (Heh heh)
See me in the streets—your jewelry? You can keep it
That be our little secret (Shh...)
See, me (Ugh) B, that is, I, that is—
Gee-whiz, motherfuckers still in my biz (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Don't they know my n***a Gutta fuckin' kidnap kids? (Uh)
Fuck 'em in they ass, throw 'em over the bridge? (Ooh...)
That's how it is, my shit is laid out (What?)
Fuck that beef shit –
That shit is played out (Played out)
Y'all got the gall, all I make is one phone call, 
All y'all disappear by tomorrow (Heh heh)
All your guns is borrowed (Ugh), I don't feel sorrow
Actually, your man passed the gat to me – now, check this
[Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G. & Puff Daddy]
What's beef?
Beef is when you need two gats to go to sleep
Beef is when your moms ain't safe up in the streets
Beef is when–I see you, guaranteed to be in I.C.U. 
One more time –
What's beef?
Beef is when you make your enemies start your Jeep
Beef is when you roll no less than thirty deep
Beef is when I see you
Beef is when–I see you, guaranteed to be in I.C.U.  – check it (Yeah)

[Verse 2: The Notorious B.I.G. & Puff Daddy]
I done smoked with the best of 'em (Uh-huh)
Shot at the rest of 'em (Uh-huh)
Was about a hundred or more, maybe less, of 'em
Got my rocks off, that n***a from the Brook' just be—
Wildin' on you, just be–stylin' on you (You so crazy)
And I tried to warn you, but your eyes fucked up
Now I cleared them shits with hits
You on the fuckin' bench (Mm)
Pardon my French but, uh, sometimes, I get kind of
Peeved at these weak MCs (Don't stop)
With these supreme baller-like lyrics
I call 'em like I see 'em, G
Y'all n***as sound like me (Yeah)
Y'all was grimy in the early nineties, far behind me
It ain't hard to find me
Number one with the booyaka (Booyaka)
Give me the Remy and the chronic, 
Ain't no tellin' what I do to ya (I do to ya)
It's obvious the game's new to ya (New to ya)
Take them ends you make (Eh heh haaa)
And spend 'em on a tutor, hah
One shot, I'm through with ya (Through wit' ya)
[Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G. & Puff Daddy]
What's beef?
Beef is when you need two gats to go to sleep (Don't sleep)
Beef is when your moms ain't safe up in the streets (Ain't safe)
Beef is when–I see you, guaranteed to be in I.C.U. (I see you)
One more time –
What's beef? (What's beef?)
Beef is when you make your enemies start your Jeep (Start my Jeep)
Beef is when you roll no less than thirty deep (Thirty deep)
Beef is when–I see you, guaranteed to be in I.C.U
There'll be nothin'— (I see you)

[Verse 3: The Notorious B.I.G. & Puff Daddy]
There'll be nothin' but smooth sailin' (Sailin')
When I spit shots, now your crew's bailin' (Bailin')
All I got is heat and tough talk for you (Uh-huh)
Tie you up, cut your balls off, just for you (Oooh)
Man, listen, straight torture
Look what that slick shit bought ya
A first class ticket to Lucifer, real name: Christopher
Watch me set it off like Vivica
Here lies your demise, close your eyes (Uh-huh)
Think good thoughts, die while your skin start to glisten
Pale blue hands get cold; your soul's risen
It's bad 'cause I just begun
What make the shit real bad–I was havin' fun (Ahaha!)
[Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G. & Puff Daddy]
What's beef?
Beef is when you need two gats to go to sleep (Don't sleep)
Beef is when your moms ain't safe up in the streets (Ain't safe)
Beef is when–I see you, guaranteed to be in I.C.U. (I see you)
One more time –
What's beef? (What's beef?)
Beef is when you make your enemies start your Jeep (Start my Jeep)
Beef is when you roll no less than thirty deep (Thirty deep)
Beef is when–I see you (I see you), guaranteed to be in I.C.U. 
And I'm through (Yeah...)

[Outro: Puff Daddy & The Notorious B.I.G.]
Ugh... And I'm through... ugh
Life After—

Do you really... know what beef is?
Life After—
Then, ask yourself... (Ugh)

Life After—
