Besides the obvious line "I don't like the way P. Diddy did Shyne with different lawyers" in the first verse

In the second verse he says...

Everything you into is underworld related
You sell your man out, not even your girl is sacred

You don't trust a soul, hold up, you molding soldiers
To pull guns quick and always look behind the shoulder
Think of how many dudes died trying to be down with you
Everybody's under six feet of ground but you :whoo:

Still standing, still roaming through the streets, that's real
You a survivor, knowing all the beef is ill
You got a bunch of thugs with you even now that's ready
Trusting your judgment, quick to put it down, they deadly
The hood love you but behind your back they pray for the day
A bullet hit your heart and ambulances take you away
That ain't love it's hate, think of all the mothers at wakes
Whose sons you killed, and you ain't got a cut on your face? :whoo:

The only thing that really applies there is his mans getting killed. Otherwise most of his money is probably legitimate. Diddy seems like more of the extortee rather than the extorter.

I thought more of Preme when I heard this verse.

Funny story. After hearing this song Puff called Nas, he was drunk and hurt that Nas talled about the Shyne situation. He said “wherever you are in the world pull over cause I need to come see you”

Facts, I remember Nas saying this
