The Reason

[Verse 1: The Notorious B.I.G.]

Now Biggie Smalls is not the type to fall in love with 'em

Hit 'em and forget 'em and go handle my business

What is this with you, all you wanna do is lay around

And stay around and get mad when I play around

Tuesday I saw you on the zee, but you still wanna get wit me

Wednesday is the Benz day, that's what your friends say

So I guess you think I'm slippin' cause I ain't flippin'

Baby, I'm Big Poppa, ain't no need to be trippin'

[Chorus: Faith Evans]

I don't care about the money or the cars that you got uh

'Cause it don't mean nothing

I done did a whole lot and I got my own

I can teach you some thing

I'm not impressed by those things

'Cause I ain't the one who needs you

The reason that I fuck with you ain't because I need you baby

I do what I wanna do, I don't need a man to save me

If it's money in the bank, I got it

You don't never have to do without it with me

[Verse 2: The Notorious B.I.G. & Faith Evans]

All I do all day is drink Tanqueray

Thinking of a way to put a smile on your face

It seems like it's a waste of time, that's why I wrote the rhyme

I hear you jump in every car, except for mine

But you mean them Benzes and Bentleys they see me in all the time?

The range rover trucks? That's all mine

You better slow your roll baby, you ain't got enough dough to pay me

You know the pin number, just page me when you real baby

[Chorus: Faith Evans]

I don't care about the money or the cars that you got uh

'Cause it don't mean nothing

I done did a whole lot and I got my own

I can teach you some thing

I'm not impressed by those things

'Cause I ain't the one who needs you

The reason that I fuck with you ain't because I need you baby

I do what I wanna do, I don't need a man to save me

If it's money in the bank, I got it

You don't never have to do without it with me

[Verse 3: Faith Evans]

So let me hold you down

You could do the same for me

Baby you're so bright on top

I could be your everything

Just don't take me for granted

Like someone else couldn't have it

There's so many fish in the sea (so many fish in the sea)

[Outro: Faith Evans]

The reason that I fuck with you ain't because I need you baby

I do what I wanna do, I don't need a man to save me

If it's money in the bank, I got it

You don't never have to do without it with me

The reason that I fuck with you ain't because I need you baby

I do what I wanna do, I don't need a man to save me

If it's money in the bank, I got it

You don't never have to do without it with me

The reason that I fuck with you ain't because I need you baby

I do what I wanna do, I don't need a man to save me

If it's money in the bank, I got it

You don't never have to do without it with me
