I drop through your town, block the date up
~#**************#~
Pimps all comin through with a hot pair of gators
~#**************#~
And a crew with–rocks thatre the size of craters
~#**************#~
Cant be touched like hot potatoes, ya heard?
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Jay-Z, (Memphis Bleek)]

[Verse 2: Memphis Bleek]
~#**************#~
In the middle of a war, rockin a vest
~#**************#~
Whos the illest shorty alive? (Who?) – I confess
~#**************#~
I take lye to the chest, and I swear to the heaven skies, I bless
~#**************#~
The mics until the day I rest
~#**************#~
To make you feel what I feel, Ima try my best
~#**************#~
And if you real like I real, You can provide the rest
~#**************#~
Everything left out, you can blame it on the brain, not the heart
~#**************#~
Im playing my part, stressed out, just about the best out
~#**************#~
Any nigga realer than me, is in a mess hall with their chest out
~#**************#~
Any rapper with less clout, sell more records than me?
~#**************#~
We extort em as soon as they record em – Bleek
~#**************#~
I made this clear, back when shorty used to braid my hair
~#**************#~
On the project stairs, once I drop to a Caesar, “Ma, I dont need ya”
~#**************#~
From the block to the hot two-seaters, ya heard?
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Jay-Z, (Memphis Bleek)]
~#**************#~
Gyeah, now we can –

Bounce if you wanna bounce, ball if you wanna ball

We can ill if you wanna ill, smoke if you wanna smoke
~#**************#~
Kill if you wanna kill, loc if you wanna loc
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
~#**************#~
Check – on the jew-els, I blew more money than Latrell, who else?
~#**************#~
They dont know you, think they know you too well
~#**************#~
You jel like Flubber
~#**************#~
I hover above the city in a private jet, the livest set
~#**************#~
Press your brakes, Feds wanna investigate
~#**************#~
Mr. “I dont cop nothing less than eight”
~#**************#~
And anything involved with my name, regardless of the fame
~#**************#~
Its hard, I cant even walk through Harlem again
~#**************#~
Charge it to the game, Im platinum like American Express
~#**************#~
My boy died, and all I did was inherit his stress
~#**************#~
To make every jam tougher; you aint my man, fuck ya
~#**************#~
I should just let you live, right? Negative, I swear
~#**************#~
Its dough or die, I hope your soul provides you with an afterlife
~#**************#~
Close your casket tight
~#**************#~
Take your last two deep breaths, and pass the mic –
~#**************#~
To Jay-Z, nigga, thats right!
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Jay-Z]
~#**************#~
Now we can bounce if you wanna bounce, ball if you wanna ball
~#**************#~
Play if you wanna play, floss if you wanna floss
~#**************#~
Its alright, you heard? Its alright, holla back

We can ill if you wanna ill, smoke if you wanna smoke
~#**************#~
Kill if you wanna kill, loc if you wanna loc
