Biggie Smalls would have been 48 yesterday.
The song is rapped in narrative form, of an (apparently completely true) mix up with a player on the Knicks, who returned home while Biggie was … with ... his girlfriend.
In the song, between verses, someone asks Biggie who the player was. Biggie responds by saying:
“I don’t know, one of them six-five ******”
