Top 10 The Notorious B.I.G. Quotes
If the game shakes me or breaks me, I hope it makes me a better man.
Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on,
Just keep on pressin on.
Sky is the limit and you know that you can have
what you want, be what you want.
Climb the ladder to success escalator style
Stay far from timid only make moves when you're heart's in it, and live the phrase the sky's the limit.
Excellence is my presence. Never tense, never hesitant.
Damn right I like the life I live,
Cause I went from negative to positive.
First comes the cash, then comes the ass, then come big blunts with chunks of hash.
Never let them know your next move.
Move over Lucifer, I'm more ruthless, leave you toothless.
This rule is so underrated:
Keep your family and business completely separated.

Relax and take notes while I take tokes of the marijuana smoke
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis. When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this.
There's gonna be a lot of slow singing and flower bringing
If my burglar alarm starts ringing
While your guns raisin', mine is blazin'.
Rappin bout blunts and broads, Tits and bras, ménage à trois, sex in expensive cars.
Forgive me for my disrespect, forgive me for my lies.
