Brooklyn, and we don't quit
Itâs like this yo, and we donât stop
Jay-Z, Rock Jockey, check it:
I get deep and dark like ditches
But when I rap, I come off
Like death without the glitches
Never crossed the black cat
With the riches, Iâm leaving
Stevie, saying no
Wonder
youâre
superstitious
Beef, Iâm with it, simple
Yaâll can all get it..
Yaâll donât all get it
Donât nobody of mind for this matter
Can gather the data
Until your mind donât matter
I bubble like lather
Hustle like the lead-off batter
Cause all that matters is the money
Til it ainât funny, you feel me?
When the beast screams kill
me
Donât jerk me boy, I rip it silly
Iâll let you rise, of course
But if you donât fall off on your own
MC's, I cut off at the knees like shorts
It gets worse - if you donât care
For my sick thoughts like a nurse
With no known remedy
Iâm leaving boys and men
On bended
knee til the
end
of
the
road
I lie low, forget this record shit, with one sale
Yo, pardon me..
Check it out:
The nerve of these herbs
Yaâll know which swerve
From the curb in the LAX
The best observe
Iâm splashing, splurging
Dashing, thatâs my word, you know?
Champagne glass is crashing, canât ration
Used to having a whole lot
So dough - I blow a lot
Had a buck fifty while
You were still taking Skippy to school
Ran with one of them cats
That hides Tiffanyâs for them jewels
Back when Duke was jumping
Out of cabs in Krush Groove
I was scheming and plotting mostly
Dreaming alive, but look what it got me..
Four cars and four hundred thousand shots later
You know what I mean?
Trying not to curse, you know?
Trying not to curse up in this piece..
