The Notorious B.I.G.
About Me
[Intro]
Yeah
I guess a lot of things could be said
Some true, some false
But if you heard about me, what would it be?

[Chorus]
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me
I just wonder what it'd be if someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
I just wonder what it'd be if someone told you 'bout me

[Verse 1]
They might tell you how they've been witnessed
To me, rapping for the best in the business
And in exchange, how they express interest
They might tell you how my lifestyle risked it
They might tell you 'bout a crew that I ran with
Feds came up, put him in a van quick
They might tell you how the man on the stand did
But I could tell you that he folded like a pamphlet
They might tell you I picked up where they left off
Got a scale, got some bags and an eight ball
They might tell you how I told them
That the money's just for music then I'm gonna skate off
They might tell you I was dead wrong
They might tell you that I didn't record a damn song
I'm not saying that it's true but
These are some things that they might say to you
[Chorus]
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me
I just wonder what it'd be if someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
I just wonder what it'd be if someone told you 'bout me

[Verse 2]
They might tell you how I smartened up
Stopped hustlin', found Pit and partnered up
They might tell you it was hard work
Or they might tell you it was all luck
Either way, it's not a lie, put that shit down
Brought my talents to the 3-0-5
They might tell you it was them that did it
That they played my song, they deserve all the credit
They might tell you that I'm struggling
They might tell you that they ain't heard nothing
They might tell you how they saw Pit on TV
And his name was in lights but mine wasn't
They might say I'm being held back
They might tell you that I fell flat
I'm not saying this is all sincere
But these are some things that you just might hear
[Chorus]
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me
I just wonder what it'd be if someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
I just wonder what it'd be if someone told you 'bout me

[Verse 3]
They might tell you that they saw me
Back in town, barely with a car fee
They might tell you that I came back after my last track
Knowing if Miami will record me
They might tell you that I came back
Just to get the flame back, label can't afford me
They might tell you that I'm sharper than never
Lyrically I'm 'bout to do it, took part in September
They might tell you that I wanna contender
They might tell you that I got an agenda
They might tell you that I cause a dilemma
I ain't easy to forget and you hard to remember
They might tell you I became self-sufficient
I look to myself when the help's missing
I'm not saying that these are all facts
But these are some things that you might hear back
[Chorus]
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me
I just wonder what it'd be if someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
If someone told you 'bout me, If someone told you 'bout me
I just wonder what it'd be if someone told you 'bout me
