[Notorious B. I. G. Interview]
2
I'm just, tryin to stay above water y'know
3
Just stay busy, stay workin
4
Puff told me like, the key to this joint
5
The key to staying, on top of things
6
Is treat everything like it's your first project, knahmsayin?
7
Like it's your first day like back when you was an intern
8
Like, that's how you try to treat things like, just stay hungry
9
[Verse One: Jay-Z]
10
Uhh, uhh, yes, yes
11
Y'all wanna know, why he don't stop
12
Y'all wanna know, why he don't flop
13
Let me tell you pe-eople why
14
Came from the bottom of the block I
15
When I was born, it was sworn, I was never gon' be shit
16
Had to pull the opposite out this bitch
17
Had to get my ri-ide on
18
Eyes on the prize, Shawn knew I had to
19
Had to had to get these chips
20
Had to make moves like Olajuwon
21
Started out sellin dimes and nicks
22
Graduated to a brick
23
No exaggeration, my infatuation with the strip
24
Legendary like a schoolboy
25
Crushin merely nearly every every chick
26
Heavy shit - that's how schoolboy got whipped
27
And got left on some "Just +Me, Myself and I+"
28
On some Trugoy shit
29
Had your boys threw place up, to a place of no return
30
Had to play with fire and get burned
31
Only way the boy ever gon' learn
32
Had to lay way in the cut, 'til I finally got my turn
33
Now I'm on top in the spot that I earned
34
[Chorus:]
35
It's my life - it's my pain and my struggle
36
The song that I sing to you it's my ev-ery-thing
37
Treat my first like my last, and my last like my first
38
And my thirst is the same as - when I came
39
It's my joy and my tears and the laughter it brings to me
40
It's my ev-ery-thing
41
[Verse Two: Jay-Z]
42
Like I never rode in a limo
43
Like I just dropped flows to a demo
44
Like it's ninety-two again and
45
And I got O's in the rental
46
Back in the Stu' again, no prob' livin was a whole lot simpler
47
When you think back, you thought that
48
You would never make it this far, then you
49
Take advantage of the luck you handed
50
Or the talent, you been given
51
Ain't no, half steppin, ain't no, no slippin
52
Ain't no different from a block that's hidden
53
Gotta get it while the getting's good
54
Gotta strike while the iron's hot, 'fore you stop
55
Then you gotta bid it, good riddance
56
Goodbye, this is my second major breakup
57
My first was, with a pager
58
With a hooptie, a cookpot, and the game
59
This one's with the stool, with the stage, with the fortune
60
Maybe not the fortune, but certainly the fame
61
[Chorus:]
62
It's my life - my pain and my struggle
63
The song that I sing to you it's my ev-ery-thing
64
Treat my first like my last, and my last like my first
65
And my thirst is the same as - when I came
66
It's my joy and my tears and my laughter it brings to me
67
It's my ev-ery-thing
68
Treat my first like my last, and my last like my first
69
And my thirst like the first song I sang
70
