Yeah.. now in ninety-three
  Everybody knows the flav
  Fat Joe Da Gangsta, yeah
  You know my style
  
  Fat Joe, a.k.a. Da Fat Gangsta
  I'm no joke, and I'm far from a prankster
  I got skills, aiyyo word life
  Suckers is scared, because they know I live trife
  As I troop down the streets of a ghetto
  Skins are jockin, and always screamin hello
  But I keep drivin in my jet black Beamer
  I'm not a daydreamer, but I'm known as a scheamer
  I'm dead-ass, when it comes to this
  And if you fuck around, your moms'll reminisce
  Thinkin of the good times she spent with her son
  Somebody shoulda told you that I wasn't the one
  Yes I'm known to get nuff respect
  and if you face Fat Joe, well then you face your death
  Now in ninety-three, it's time to take a stand
  And you know how I'm livin, I'm a bad, bad, man
  
  Niggaz know the flav
  "I'm a bad, bad, man!" (cut and scratched 2X)
  
  Check it
  All the old folks, hate my guts
  Cause I be hittin all they daughters and they big fat butts
  Cause I'm the papichulo when it comes to rap
  and if you fuck with me, then you leave handicapped
  I don't give a fuck, don't care who you are
  I gotta say peace to my peeps GangStarr
  Some real motherfuckers from around the hood
  When I chills with them, we be up to no good
  Hittin skins, makin ends
  Loungin with my friends in my fat BM
  Whether Uptown in the Boogie Down
  Or checkin out stunts in the Polo Ground
  See just like Mel, I'm internationally known
  And I'm mob related, like Al Capone, check it
  Too hot to handle, blow you like a candle
  You never catch Joe in the middle of a scandal
  Now in ninety-three it's time to take the stand
  And you know how I'm livin, I'm a bad, bad, man!
  
  Everybody knows the flav
  "I'm a bad, bad, man!" (cut and scratched 2X)
  
  One day I was chillin, caught a buckshot
  The nigga was butt, so then he gets no props
  Word spread fast around town
  I was layin six feet deep underground, check it
  Niggaz wished the worst, but spoke too fast
  Cause here I am and I'm ready to blast *gunshot*
  The cops must have missed, takin me for a bitch
  Because they tried to gas me, and make me turn snitch
  But I'm not the one for peace
  So I turned around and said, "Fuck the police!"
  I'm the type to handle this on my own
  Pack two joints and pass one to Tone
  There's no shame in my game, I do what I gotta do
  See I'm rollin with a crazy live crew
  Now in ninety-three it's time to take a stand
  And you know how I'm livin I'ma bad, bad, man!
  
  Yeah! Niggaz know the flav
  "I'm a bad, bad, man!"
  Nuff respect to my man Jazzy J
  Diamond D, Showbiz and A.G., and I'm out
  Word
  
  "I'm a bad, bad, man!"
