Lyric/Song: “You could be as good as the best of them, but as bad as the worst/So don’t test me (Get money)/Ya better move over (Get money)” — “Gettin’ Money (The Get Money Remix)” (Junior M.A.F.I.A.)

Reference: While it’s safe to say that more people know these words today as Biggie’s hook from DJ Enuff and Lance “Un” Rivera’s remix of Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s ’96 hit “Get Money,” they are paraphrased nearly verbatim from the late Deborahe Glasgow, specifically her hook on the 1990  Shabba Ranks collaboration “Don’t Test Me.”
