N.Y., N.Y.... what up, what up, what up, what up, what up?

All I want to say – right now, no matter how you feel...
You know, everybody has their personal opinion about what they like musically, or whatever –
But he's one of our own, you know what I'm sayin'?
We all know a B.I.G. – younahmsayin'?
He may not necessarily be on the mic
He may be working, nahmsaying, UPS
Maybe on the corner, younahmsayin, handlin' his or somethin'...
But we all know that, and we all recognize that
So what I want everybody to do, is just remember B.I.G.,
And remember all those B.I.G.'s that we know that's around us
And let's really think about, younahmsayin, keepin' each other around
And try and avoid unnecеssary shit, ya'll... you nah'mean?
