This song here..
3
.. is dedicated to Danny Dan and may he rest in peace
4
Who at his funeral left us with the words that
5
he did it his way (uh huh uh huh)
6
So I have no other choice but to do it my way
7
Uh huh uh huh
8
Uhh! While niggaz are shootin stupid
9
I'm carefully plottin ways to make it rotten
10
Well planned hits until you're long forgotten
11
Y'all niggaz that utilize my style don't hurt me, cause on the low
12
half of these rappin-ass niggaz wanna work for me
13
Now picture me standin on somebody block tryin to rock
14
I drop bombs and niggaz see me with that dough by eight o'clock
15
My feet never touch the concrete, just street sweep awards
16
While you're starin on my dick nigga, gimme yours!
17
I don't hassle with capsules cause that'll make the grass grow
18
and get a project nigga paid up the asshole
19
if I'ma risk a frisk, gettin my wrists wrapped up in steel
20
I'm out here tryin to make a mill', my shit is real for real
21
While others worship guns I worship tons of money
22
tons of fun, laughin at shit that ain't even funny
23
So I ain't pressed to make a CD, I took it slow
24
Eighty percent of these niggaz with deals
25
can't see me with the dough, uhh!
26
Chorus: Jay-Z
27
In my lifetime, I need to see a whole lot of dough
28
I need a whole lot of dough (for real!)
29
In my lifetime, I need to see a whole lot of stash
30
I need a whole lot of cash (stay real!)
31
In my lifetime, I need to see a whole lot of dough
32
I need a whole lot of dough *
33
In my lifetime, I need to see a whole lot of stash
34
I need a whole lot of cash
35
*1: (for real!)
36
*2: (true!)
37
*3: (true!)

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