  • whoo, chea, chea, chea
    turn da music up turn the lights down i'm in my zone

    Chorus
    thank god for granting me this moment of calrity
    this moment of honesty the world will feel my truth
    from my hard knock life time to the gift and the curse
    i gave you volume after volume of my work so you can feel my truth
    i built a dynasty by bein one of the realest niggas out
    way beyond a reasonable doubt
    from my blueprint beginning to my black album ending
    if you listen close you'll hear what i'm about

    Jay-z

    pop died didn't cry didn't know him that well
    between him doin heroine and me doin crack sales
    put that in an eggshell standing at the tabernacle rather the church
    pretending to be hurt wouldn't work
    so a smurk was all on my face
    like damn that man's face is just like my face
    so pop i forgive u for all the shit that i lived through
    i wasn't all your fault u got caught
    and to the same game i fought
    that uncle ray lost
    my big brothers and so many others i saw
    i'm just glad we got to see each other
    talk and re meet each other
    save a place in heaven for the next time we meet each other

    Chorus

    Jay-z

    Music is to take me cause the industry didn't make me
    hustlers and boosters embrace me in the music i be makin
    i dumped down from my audience doubled my dollars
    they criticize me yet they all yell holla
    if skillz sold truth be told i probably be lyrically talib kwalie
    truthfully yall wanna rhyme like common sense
    but i did 5 mics but i ain't been rhymin like common sense
    when your sense got that much in common and you been hustlin' since
    your enception fuck perception go wit what make sense
    since i know what i'm up against we as rappers must decide what is most impoortant
    and i can't help the poor if i'm one of them
    so i got rich and gave back to me so that's a win win
    so next time you see the homie wit his rims spin
    just know my mind is workin like them the
    the rims that is

    Chorus

    see what's on the tear with no tears should fall
    see what's on the block when no spuares get off
    seein my inner circle all we do is ball
    till we all got triangles on our walls
    they just rappin for the platinum
    yall record i recall cause i really been there before
    4 scores a seven years ago prepare for flow
    prepare for war i should fear no man
    but you don't hear me though
    these words ain't just ain't just prepared to go in one ear and out he other ear no
    yo my balls and my words is alls i have
    what you gonna do to me nigga a scar's a scab
    what you gonna box me home i could dodge a jab
    3 shots couldn't touch me thank god for that
    i'm strong enough to carry Biggie Smalls on my back
    and the whole bk holla back
