[Chorus: ("Puff Daddy")]
What's beef?
Beef is when you need two Gats to go to sleep!
Beef is when your moms ain't safe up in the streets!
Beef is when I see you
Guaranteed to be an ICU!

Beef is when you make your enemies start your Jeep!
Beef is when you roll no less than thirty deep!
Beef is when I see you!
Guaranteed to be an ICU! - Check it! ("yeeeah! ")

Tie you up, cut your balls off just to use! ("oooh! ")
Man listen straight torture! - Look what that slick shit bought ya
A first class ticket to Lucife, real name Cristopher!
Watch me set it off like Vivica
