[Intro: Jay-Z & Memphis Bleek]
~#**************#~
Uh-huh uh yeah, gi-gi-geyeah
~#**************#~
Time to come up, hold my own weight, defend my crown
~#**************#~
Gots to lock it down and when they rush — part two
~#**************#~
Cocaine whiter now
~#**************#~
Operation is sweet
~#**************#~
Whole game tighter now
~#**************#~
Moving a brick a week
~#**************#~
Plus a nigga price is down
~#**************#~
We them niggas to see
~#**************#~
Time to start the arising now
~#**************#~
I dont know whats wrong with Bleek
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Jay-Z & Memphis Bleek]
~#**************#~
It seems, Im like Keenan, picking up on the vibe
~#**************#~
That he aint too happy, I could just see it in his eyes
~#**************#~
I dont know if its the chicks or how we dividing the loot
~#**************#~
Time to pay his ass a visit ‘fore he decide to get cute
~#**************#~
Jumped out like a star with the flavest car
~#**************#~
Matching the gator shirt, softer than my next door neighbors
~#**************#~
These young niggas think I fell out the loop
~#**************#~
‘Cause the last time they seen me hopping out the Coupe
~#**************#~
I hopped out in a suit
~#**************#~
Look at this nigga Jay fronting, trying to take my shine
~#**************#~
I didnt say this verbally, just had some shit on my mind
~#**************#~
Plus Im puffing like an ounce more than I used to puff
~#**************#~
Taking advice from these niggas but they aint used to stuff
~#**************#~
They had me thinking, “Shit, Im the one that moved the stuff
~#**************#~
While he drive around town in brand new Coupes and stuff”
~#**************#~
Swear to God, they had me practically hating his guts
~#**************#~
As he approached I spoke, “Jigga, whattup?”
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Memphis Bleek & (Jay-Z)]
~#**************#~
I done came up (uhh), put my life on the line (uhh)
~#**************#~
Soaked the game up (yeah), now its my time to shine
~#**************#~
Time to change up (what?), no more second in line
~#**************#~
Nine-eight, these streets is mine
~#**************#~
(Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh-uh-huh-uh-huh)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Jay-Z & Memphis Bleek]
~#**************#~
Look at that fake smile he just gave me, its breaking my heart
~#**************#~
Should I school him or pull the tools out and just break him apart?
~#**************#~
I felt his hatred it was harsh — ‘fore this faking shit start
~#**************#~
I should take him in back of the building and blaze him
~#**************#~
Uh-oh, this nigga Jay, he aint slow, he musta picked up on the vibe
~#**************#~
But had I not been so high, I woulda been able to hide
~#**************#~
Tried to cover up myself, as I gave him a five
~#**************#~
Hugged him as if I loved him, to the naked eye
~#**************#~
It woulda seemed we was the closest, but to those that know us
~#**************#~
Could see that something was about to go down
~#**************#~
Stay focused, Im trying to concentrate
~#**************#~
But its like hes reading my mind
~#**************#~
As if he can see through this fog and all this weed in my mind
~#**************#~
Could he see I had plans on, being the man
~#**************#~
Ever since we first spoke and he put that G in my hand
~#**************#~
And I gave it back to show him, I was down for the cause
~#**************#~
As he approached (“Whattup Bleek?”) and I paused
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Memphis Bleek & Jay-Z]
~#**************#~
I done came up (uhh), put my life on the line (uhh)
~#**************#~
Soaked the game up (yeah), now its my time to shine
~#**************#~
Time to change up (what?), no more second in line
~#**************#~
Nine-eight, these streets is mine
~#**************#~
Yeah, you done came up (uhh), put your life on the line (uhh)
~#**************#~
Soaked the game up (uhh), now its yo time to shine (yeah)
~#**************#~
Time to change up, no more second in line
~#**************#~
Nine-eight, these streets is mine
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Jay-Z & Memphis Bleek]
~#**************#~
Right, yo we wild out in Vegas, styled on haters
~#**************#~
Mouthed off at the cops, outta cranberry drops
~#**************#~
Copped whips the same color, we tighter than brothers
~#**************#~
With different fathers but same mothers, this life dont love us
~#**************#~
So til death do us, Im never breaking my bond
~#**************#~
Nigga, we Lex movers, V-12 pushers
~#**************#~
As I stand
~#**************#~
One leg of my pants up, in a stance like, “And what?”
~#**************#~
I know these niggas are feeding my mind cancer
~#**************#~
But in times the answer (woo!)
~#**************#~
Seems mind-blowing, this weed and Hennessy
~#**************#~
Got my mind going, trust me nigga, Im knowing
~#**************#~
Chicks used to ignore me
~#**************#~
And my aunt saying I need 50, not 60/40
~#**************#~
Oh God, dont let him control yall
~#**************#~
Your gun is my gun, your clip is my clip, baby
~#**************#~
Your fun is my fun (uh huh), your bitch is my bitch
~#**************#~
Any nigga trying to harm Jay, Im feeling for you
~#**************#~
I aint only touching you, Im killing your crew
~#**************#~
Give it a year, youll be sitting on a million or two
~#**************#~
Records sold, nigga, perfect your role, geah
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Memphis Bleek, (Jay-Z) & Both]
~#**************#~
I done came up (uhh), put my life on the line
~#**************#~
Soaked the game up (yeah), now its my time to shine
~#**************#~
Time to change up (what?), no more second in line
~#**************#~
Nine-eight, these streets is mine (geah, geah)
~#**************#~
I done came up (came up), put your life on the line (uhh)
~#**************#~
Soaked the game up (game up), now its yo time to shine
~#**************#~
Time to change up (change up), no more second in line
~#**************#~
Nine-eight, these streets is mine
~#**************#~
[Outro: Jay-Z]
~#**************#~
Yeah, you done came up, put your life on the line
~#**************#~
Soaked the game up, now its yo time to shine
~#**************#~
Time to change up, no more second in line
~#**************#~
Yeah, yeah
~#**************#~
Coming of Age two, brand new
