Album: The Black Album (2003)
"Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained?"
"Is thisn´t why you´re here?"
[Jay-Z]
Uh uh-huh..
Uh uh-huh UHH
{*crowd noise gets louder*}
Turn the music up, turn me down
Guru.. let´s go get em again
This time it is for the money my nigga
Brooklyn, stand up
[Verse One]
Theres never been a nigga this good for this long
This hood, or this pop, this hot, or this strong
With so many different flows theres one for this song
The next one I switch up, this one´ll get bit up
These f*cks, too lazy to make up shit, they crazy
They do not, pain´t pictures, they just, trace me
You know what? Soon they forget where they plucked
they whole style from, they try to reverse the outcome
I am like - TOUGH!
I am not a biter I am a writer for myself & others
I say a B.I.G. verse, I am only biggin up my brother
Biggin up my borough, I am big enough to do it
I am that thorough, plus I know my own flow is foolish
So them rings & things you sing about, bring em out
It is hard to yell when the bar-rell´s in your mouth
I am in - new sneakers, dual-seaters
Few divas, what more can I tell you?
Let me spell it for you
Double-U I, double-L, I-E
Nobody truer than, H-O-V
And I am back for more, New York´s ambassador
Prime Minister, back to finish my business up
[Chorus]
What more can I sayyyyyyyyyyy?
What more can I doooooooooooo?
I gave this up to youuuuuuuuu
I know this much is truuuuuue, truuuuuuue
[Jay-Z]
What more can I say to you?
You heard it all
[Verse Two]
You already know what I am about, flyin birds down South
Movin wet off the step, "Purple Rain" in a drought
Stuntin on hoes; brushin off my shirt
But aint nuttin on my clothes ´cept my chain, my name
Young H-O pitch the yay faithful
Even if they patrol I make payroll
Benz paid fo´, friends they roll
Private jets down to Church & Caycos
Crist´ caseloads, I do not give a shit
Nigga one life to live, I cannot let a day go
by without me bein fly or fresh to death
Head to toe ´til the day I rest
And I do not wear jerseys, I am thirty plus
Give me a crisp pair of jeans, nigga button up
S. Dots on my feet make my cipher complete
What more can I say? Guru play the beat!
We gon´ let this ride into the hook
- I ama snap my fingers on this one
What more can I say to you?
- Get my grown man on
LET´S GO!
(What more can I sayyyyyyyyyyy?)
[Verse Three]
Now you know yo´ ass is Willie when they got you in the mag
for like half a billy, & yo´ ass aint lily
white that mean that shit you write must be illy
Either that or your flow is silly - it is both
I do not mean to boast, but damn if I do not brag
Them crackers gon´ act like I aint on they ass
To Martha Stewart, that is far from Jewish
Far from a Harvard student, just had the balls to do it
And no I am not through with it
In fact, I am just previewin it
This aint the show, I am just EQ´n it
One-two & I would not stop abusin it
To groupie girls, stop false accusin it
Back to the music - the Maybach roof is translucent
Niggaz got a problem Houston! Heh
What up B, they can´t shut up me
Shut down I, not even P.E., I ama ride
God forgive me for my brash delivery
But I remember vividly what these streets did to me
So picture me lettin these clowns nitpick at me
Pain´t me like a pickany
I´ll literally kiss T.T. in the forehead
Tell her please forgive me then squeeze till you full ´head
I am not the one to score points off, in fact
I got a joint that´ll knock yo´ points off
Young, Hova the God, nigga blasphemy
I am at the Trump International, ask for me
I aint never scared, I am everywhere you aint never there
And nigga, why would I ever care?
Pound for pound I am the best to ever come around here
Excludin nobody, look what I embody
The soul of a hustler, I really ran the street
A CEO´s mind, that marketin plan was me
And no I aint get shot up a whole bunch of times
Or make up shit in a whole bunch of lines
And I aint animated like say I +Busta Rhymes+
But the real shit you get when you bust down my lines
Add that to the fact I went plat´ a bunch of times
Times that by my influence on pop culture
I am supposed to be number one on everybody list
We will see what happens when I no longer exist
F*ck this!
(What more can I sayyyyyyyyyyy?)
