[Jay-z]
2
Turn my music high, high, high, high-er
3
"you don't know... what you're doing, doing, doing, doing..."
4
Sure I do...
5
I'm from the streets where the
6
Hood could swallow a man, bullets'll follow a man
7
There's so much coke that you could run the slalom
8
And cops comb the shit top to bottom
9
They say that we are prone to violence, but it's home sweet home
10
Where personalities crash and chrome meets chrome
11
The coke prices up and down like it's wall street homes
12
But this is worse than the dow jones your brains are now blown
13
All over that brown brougham, one slip you are now gone
14
Welcome to hell where you are welcome to sell
15
But when them shells come you better return 'em
16
All scars we earn 'em, all cars we learn 'em like the back of our hand
17
We watch for cops hoppin out the back of van
18
Wear a g on my chest, I don't need that for damn
19
This ain't a sewn outfit homes, homes is about it
20
Was clappin them flamers before I became famous
21
For playin me y'all shall forever remain nameless
22
I am hov'
23
Sure I do, I tell you the difference between me and them
24
They tryin to get they ones, I'm tryin to get them m's
25
One million, two million, three million, four
26
In just five years, forty million more
27
You are now lookin at the forty million boy
28
I'm rapin def jam 'til I'm the hundred million man
29
R., o., c.
30
"you don't know... what you're doing, doing, doing, doing..."
31
That's where you're wrong
32
I came into this motherfucker a hundred grand strong
33
Nine to be exact, from grindin g-packs
34
Put this shit in motion ain't no rewindin me back
35
Could make 40 off a brick but one rhyme could beat that
36
And if somebody woulda told 'em that hov' would sell clothin
37
Heh, not in this lifetime, wasn't in my right mind
38
That's another difference that's between me and them
39
Heh, I'm smarten up, open the market up
40
One million, two million, three million, four
41
In eighteen months, eighty million more
42
Now add that number up with the one I said before
43
You are now lookin at one smart black boy
44
Momma ain't raised no fool
45
Put me anywhere on god's green earth, I'll triple my worth
46
Motherfucker - I, will, not, lose
47
"you don't know... what you're doing, doing, doing, doing..."
48
Put somethin on it
49
I sell ice in the winter, I sell fire in hell
50
I am a hustler baby, I'll sell water to a well
51
I was born to get cake, move on and switch states
52
Cop the coupe with the roof gone and switch plates
53
Was born to dictate, never follow orders
54
Dickface, get your shit straight, fucka this is big jay
55
I... hahahaha...
56
"you don't know... what you're doing, doing, doing, doing..."
57
... will, not, lose, ever... fucka!
