This song here..
2
.. is dedicated to Danny Dan, and may he rest in peace
3
Who at his funeral left us with the words that
4
he did it his way (uh-huh, uh-huh)
5
So, I have no other choice but to do it my way
6
Uh-huh, uh-huh
7
Uhh! While niggaz are shootin stupid
8
I'm carefully plottin, ways to make it rotten
9
Well planned hits until you're long forgotten
10
Y'all niggaz that utilize my style don't hurt me, cause on the low
11
half of these rappin-ass niggaz wanna work for me
12
Now picture me standin on somebody block tryin to rock
13
I drop bombs and niggaz see me with that dough by eight o'clock
14
My feet never touch the concrete, just street sweep awards
15
While you're starin on my dick nigga, gimme yours!
16
I don't hassle with capsules cause that'll make the grass grow
17
and get a project nigga paid up the asshole
18
if I'ma risk a frisk, gettin my wrists wrapped up in steel
19
I'm out here tryin to make a mill', my shit is real for real
20
While others worship guns I worship tons of money
21
tons of fun, laughin at shit that ain't even funny
22
So I ain't pressed to make a CD, I took it slow
23
Eighty percent of these niggaz with deals
24
can't see me with the dough, uhh!
25
[Chorus: Jay-Z]
26
In my lifetime, I need to see a whole lot of dough
27
I need a whole lot of dough (for real!)
28
In my lifetime, I need to see a whole lot of stash
29
I need a whole lot of cash (stay real!)
30
In my lifetime, I need to see a whole lot of dough
31
I need a whole lot of dough *
32
In my lifetime, I need to see a whole lot of stash
33
I need a whole lot of cash
34
*1: (for real!)
35
*2: (true!)
36
*3: (true!)

[Jay-Z]
38
More ice than winter ninety-four
39
I toured the fifty states with a trunk of raw
40
Recrutin, I'm hittin shortiess with consignment, but don't play me
41
Ohh you gon' pay me, y'all niggaz ain't crazy!
42
I'm laid back in the five thousand Italian leather seat recliner
43
under some vagina, discussin the finer, things
44
My crib is mean, watchin a hundred inch screen
45
Lettin the shorties slide by once in a while and let em dream
46
They think I've mastered the game cause dames scream my name
47
with passion, I tell em stop flashin and start stashin
48
And we'll all get off the corner, the only heat you'll feel
49
is from a sauna, lettin bubbles shoot up your ass if you wanna
50
And fuck that weed, it keeps you broke, invest in
51
pounds of herbs and profit if niggaz wanna smoke dope
52
But keep your nuts cause this is a man's game
53
And we'll all pop champagne til it's a damn shame
54
[Chorus]
55
[Jay-Z]
56
I'm shootin to Vegas gamblin green-o at the casino
57
Schoolin the dice like Vinny Barberino
58
Welcome back, the ninety-four version of the mack
59
As soon as these ladies see me they don't know how to act
60
Cause like that, nigga, never twist the cap of malt liquor
61
Only pop and droppin Cristal's down my throat, take a swigga
62
My style, ladies intoxicated by my profile
63
Your rollin with a pro with, money to blow child
64
You need to feel how sweet the skills be
65
to come and slide down Sugar Hill with me
66
The high roller, rolled up on your dice game
67
Unfold a pack of bills, grab my balls then bet it all
68
I never slept, cause sleepin keeps you deep in debt
69
On the block you lucky if you see my silhouette
70
I'm ghost, envied by most
71
So I keep a crew of crazy tenants that's sling toast, fucker
72
[Chorus]
73
[Jay-Z]
