~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
~#**************#~
As a youngn, dumbin, gun in the waist
~#**************#~
Sold crack to those who couldnt take the pain and had to numb it with base
~#**************#~
Couldnt drink the Henny straight, I needed somethin to chase
~#**************#~
Nowadays I throw (Uh-huh) shots back (Uh-huh), leavin nuttin to waste
~#**************#~
Lifes like a treadmill, niggas runnin in place
~#**************#~
Gettin nowhere fast, a whole year don past
~#**************#~
I vowed to never stop winnin, til the earth stop spinnin
~#**************#~
Rock hot linen, cop hot cars and hot women
~#**************#~
If its not him then you got it confused, yall not rememberin
~#**************#~
My motto is, simply “I will not lose” (I will not lose)
~#**************#~
Abide by the block rules, I buy my Glocks used
~#**************#~
With bodies on it, let me know anybody want it?
~#**************#~
Im raised, irrational, ways misunderstood
~#**************#~
If you aint live like I live, then one with the hood
~#**************#~
I done what I could, to come up with this paper til this day still
~#**************#~
Run with the hood, guess its part of my nature
~#**************#~
If hell awaits a, nigga Im comin with the razors
~#**************#~
Still flashin ya shit, try to pass me in a six
~#**************#~
Type classy on the wrist, every bit of 30 karats
~#**************#~
This is, not a game this is not why I came
~#**************#~
May these words find a spot on your brain and burn
~#**************#~
Then I recycle my life, I shall return
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Liz Leite (Jay-Z)]
~#**************#~
How tight is your flow? (‘Cause Im like that yo)
~#**************#~
How right is your dough? (‘Cause Im like that yo)
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
~#**************#~
Im a hop skip and a jump from grippin the pump
~#**************#~
Spittin a couple of curse words, and hittin you chump
~#**************#~
Shit, I get digits in lumps
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
Overachiever, I love chicks that puff cheeba in reefer paper
~#**************#~
I hate the ones that blow up ya beeper
~#**************#~
‘Cause I, go in deeper, I only bone divas
~#**************#~
Impregnate the world when I come through your speakers (ha ha!)
~#**************#~
Fuck hot, my records got the fever
~#**************#~
Niggas kick dirt, get ya whole block sweeped up
~#**************#~
I creep up when the beef heats up
~#**************#~
Caught him with his feet up and shoes off, bout to snooze off
~#**************#~
Hatin, cause you cant turn the booze off
~#**************#~
You dudes is too soft, why I dont fuck with you all
~#**************#~
I might bark at X, or spit at The LOX
~#**************#~
But, other than that, I dont be fuckin with cats
~#**************#~
Just me, Ty and B-High, thug it like that
~#**************#~
E, Dame and Biggs, whats fuckin with that?
~#**************#~
Yall can never diss Jigga, get nothin for that
~#**************#~
Other than a couple of slugs in ya back (ha ha)
~#**************#~
Rappers yall, runnin around like I wont gun ya down
~#**************#~
Last nigga that fronted, two shots spun him around
~#**************#~
Lord, accept this offerin heres somethin for your crown (please)
~#**************#~
I meant no malice, I just met his challenge and won
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Liz Leite (Jay-Z)]
