[Jay-Z]
2
Yeah...
3
Come experience... Life as we know it
4
As some of you should know it, yeah, yeah
5
Place, Marcy, Brooklyn
6
Actions... Well, y'all know the actions
7
Uhh, I got this shorty on my block always clockin my rocks
8
He likes the style and profile I think he wanna mock
9
He likes the way I walk, he sees my money talkin
10
To honies hawkin I'm the hottest nigga in New York and
11
I see his hunger pains, I know his blood boils
12
He wanna, run with me, I know this kid'll be loyal
13
I watched him make a few ends, to cop his little sneakers and gear
14
Then it's just enough for re-up again
15
I see myself in his eyes, I moved from Levi's
16
To Guess to Versace, now it's diamonds like Liberace
17
That's just the natural cycle, nobody wanna be like Michael
18
Where I'm from, just them niggaz who banned from a gun
19
We out here trying to make hard white into cohhhhld green
20
I can help shorty blow out like Afro-Sheen
21
Plus I can relive my days of youth which is gone
22
That little nigga's peeps, it's time to put him on
23
[Chorus: Jay-Z and Memphis Bleek]
24
It's time to come up (and hold my own weight, defend my crown)
25
Gots to lock it down and when they rush (stand my ground)
26
It's time to come up (stick up my chest, and make some loot)
27
Gots to lock it down and when they rush (stand on my own two)
28
[Memphis Bleek]
29
I'm out here slingin bringin the drama, tryin to come up
30
In the game and add a couple of dollar signs to my name
31
I'm out here servin disturbin the peace, life could be better
32
Like my man reclined in plush leather seats
33
He's sellin weight, I'm sellin eight... Balls
34
Sixteen tryin to graduate to pushin quarters y'all
35
I ain't gon' sweat him I'ma let him come to me
36
If he give me the nod then these niggaz gon' see
37
I'm tired of bein out here round the clock
38
And breakin day, and chasin crackers up the block for my pay
39
I'm stayin fresh, so chickens check
40
I'm tryin to step up to the next level, pushin Vettes to the Jets
41
Diamonds reflect from the sun, directly in your equilibirum
42
And stunned I'm waitin for my day to come
43
I got the urge, to splurge, I don't wanna lifetime sentence
44
Just give me the word
45
[Chorus:]
46
[Jz] Hey fella I been watchin you clockin
47
[Mb] Who me holdin down this block it ain't nothin
48
You the man nigga now stop frontin
49
[Jz] Hahahh I like your style
50
[Mb] Nah, I like yo' style
51
[Jz] Let's drive around awhile
52
[Mb] Cool nigga
53
[Jz] Here's a thou'
54
[Mb] A G? I ride witchu for free
55
I want the longterm riches and bitches
56
[Jz] Have it all; now listen to me
57
You let them other niggaz get the name, skip the fame
58
Ten thou' or a hundred G keep yo' shit the same
59
[Mb] On the low?
60
[Jz] Yeah, the only way to blow
61
You let your shit bubble quietly
62
[Mb] and then you blow!
63
[Jz] Hey keep your cool
64
The only way to peep a fool is let him show his hand
65
Then you play your cards
66
[Mb] Then he through dealin I understand
67
[Jz] Don't blow your dough on hotties
68
[Mb] The only thing I got in this world is my word and my nuts
69
And won't break em for nobody!
70
[Jz] Hah, I like resume, pick a day, you can start
71
[Mb] From now until death do us part...
72
[Chorus 2X]
