Smoking mad Newports cause I'm due in court
For an assault that I caught in Bridgeport, New York

from The Notorious B.I.G. – Everyday Struggle Lyrics on Rap Genius

Big is stressed about an upcoming court appearance, which leads to increased Newport smoking. Pretty soon, you won’t be allowed to smoke them anymore..

Though Bridgeport is well known for having an active drug trade, it is actually a coastal city in the state of Connecticut. But, that doesn’t rhyme as well as New York.
