LiveStyle Exclusive: Shaquille O'Neal Ft. Notorious B.I.G. - Can't Stop The Reign (Biggie's Verses Only)


Shaquille O'Neal Ft. Notorious B.I.G. - Can't Stop The Reign (Biggie's Verses Only)


"[Verse 1]
What? Uhh, what?
Uhh, uhh, what? Uhh
9-6 Catalogue
What, what, uhh

I speak deep with killers about million dollar figures
Blessing niggas in Ac Legends and Vigors
Cream lizards, cream Coogi's, I do my duty
As long as they fly as me and high as me
Success in my circle, try to break it, I hurt you
Ain't no gettin out that, I doubt that
We want the exotic, erotic ladies
Not them toxic ladies that burn a lot
I learned a lot, from junkies to ruffians
From being tied up by Columbians, cause 80 grams was missin'
Listen, had to change my position
From wanting to be large to head nigga in charge
My garage, call it Celo -- 4's, 5's, and 6's
Honies by the mixes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it
Smoke out with Leo, Biggie Tarantino
Size like a sumo, Frank White numero uno

[Verse 2]
A lime to a lemon, my D.C. women
bringing in 10 G minimums (NOTE: The line was originally, "bringing in COKE and HEROIN", but I guess that was, undersatndably, a little too filthy for Shaq's bosses @ the NBA) to condos with elevators in 'em
Vehicles with televisions in 'em
Watch they entourage turn yours to just mirages
Disappearing acts, strictly 9's and Macs
Killers be serial, Copperfield material
My dreams is vivid, work hard to live it
Any place I visit, I got land there
How can players stand there and say I sound like them, hello
Push wigs back and push 6 Coupes that's yellow
Bust clips that expand from hand to elbow
Spray up your Day's Inn, any 'tele you in
Crack braggin' sick of braggin' how my mink be draggin'
Desert E's street sweepers inside the Beamer wagon
I rely on Bed-Stuy to shut it down if I die
Put that on my diamond bezel, you're messin with the devil
What!?"

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: As I have contended for years in private and, most recently in public in recognition of the biopic "Notorious", Biggie's verses on Shaquille O'Neal's record "Can't Stop The Reign", in all of their drug dealer detailed glory, are some of his best bars ever! Is that saying alot about this selection? Yes it is. However, Biggie said alot in this song.

Anyway, while I have posted the complete version of this song with Shaq's admirable yet fast forward ready attempt @ rhyming alongside the late, great Francis M-to-the-Iz-H already, Mr. 401K somehow managed to procure this exclusive Biggie solo version and he was kind enough (and smart enough ... lol) to send it to me this morning yall. Real niggas hold me down and, by extension of Livestyle, now, do the same for Y.O.U. as well. Spread L.O.V.E. - that is most definitely "the Brooklyn way". Holla @ ya boy in BK!
