12
From standin on the corners boppin
13
to drivin some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen
14
For droppin some of the hottest verses rap has ever heard
15
From the dope spot, with the smoke Glock
16
fleein the murder scene, you know me well
17
from nightmares of a lonely cell, my only hell
18
But since when y'all niggaz know me to fail? Fuck naw
19
Where all my niggaz with the rubber grips, bust shots
20
And if you with me mom I rub on your tits, and what-not
21
I'm from the school of the hard knocks, we must not
22
let outsiders violate our blocks, and my plot
23
let's stick up the world and split it fifty/fifty, uh-huh
24
Let's take the dough and stay real jiggy, uh-huh
25
And sip the Cris' and get pissy-pissy
26
Flow infinitely like the memory of my nigga Biggie, baby!
27
You know it's hell when I come through
28
The life and times of Shawn Carter
29

37
I flow for those 'dro'ed out; all my niggaz
38
locked down in the ten by fo', controllin the house
39
We live in hard knocks, we don't take over we borrow blocks
40
Burn em down and you can have it back daddy, I'd rather that
41
I flow for chicks wishin, they ain't have to strip to pay tuition
42
I see you vision mama, I put my money on the longshots
43
All my ballers that's born to clock
44
Now I'ma be on top whether I perform or not
45
I went from lukewarm to hot; sleepin on futons and cots
46
to King Size, dream machines, the green fives
47
I've seen pies let the thing between my eyes analyze life's ills
48
Then I put it down type braile
49
I'm tight grill with the phony, rappers y'all might feel we homies
50
I'm like still, y'all don't know me, shit!
51
I'm tight grill when my situation ain't improvin
52
I'm tryin to murder everything movin, feel me?!
53

64
I don't how to sleep, I gotta eat, stay on my toes
65
Gotta a lot of beef, so logically, I prey on my foes
66
Hustling's still inside of me, and as far as progress
67
you'd be hard-pressed, to find another rapper hot as me
68
I gave you prophecy on my first joint, and y'all lamed out
69
Didn't really appreciate it, til the second one came out
70
So I stretched the game out, X'ed your name out
71
Put Jigga on top, and drop albums non-stop for ya, nigguh!
