"Warning" is a popular song and B-side from the Notorious B.I.G's 1994 debut album, Ready to Die. It is a first-person narrative involving two characters both rapped by Biggie. It depicts someone paging the other character early in the morning to warn him of an impending robbery, hence the title. The track closes with a section of dialogue between the two would be assassins (Both played by Diddy) as they break into B.I.G's house. Each assassin realises the other has a red dot on his head and the final sounds heard are two gunshots. It was produced by Easy Mo Bee and features a sample from "Walk On By" by Isaac Hayes.
