[Jay-z]
Yo, yo first i snatched the streets then i snatched the charts,
First had they ear now i hav they're heart,
Rappers came and went,
I've been hear from the start,
i Seen them put it together
Watch them take it apart,
See the rollers roll up wit ribbons
I see the we poe, we sold then we driven
So when i reload, he holds #1 position
When u hot i'm hot
And when your feet cold mines is sizzelin
It's plain to see
Nigga's can't fuck with me
Cuz ima be that nigga fo life
This is not an image
This is god given
This is hard liven
Mixed wit crystall sippin
It's the most consistent
[chorus]Give me the mostest,
you can fit inside a whole diss and
nigga im home on these charts
yall niggas listenin this whole condition,
check home in the rap,
im back to clean pole position
holla at cha boy
[finish chorus]
I get down for my grandfather who took my momma
Made her sit that seat where white folks aint wanna us to eat
At the tender age of 6 she was arrested for the sit in
With that in my blood i was born to be different
Now niggas can't make it to battles to chose leadership
But we can make it to jacobs to and to the dealership
That's why i hear new music
And i jus dont be feelin it
Racism still alive they just be consealin it
But i know they don't want me in the damn club
They even made me show I.D to get up in to sam's club
I did dirk and went to church and get my hands scrubbed
Swear I've baptised at least 3 or 4 times
But in the land where nigga's pray
U con's are getting paid
It gon take a lot more than coupons to get us saved
Goin to take alot more than doorags to get your wave
Nothin as sad as that day my girl father past away
So i promised to MR.rany i'm gonna marry your daughter
And u know i'd got to thank u for they way that she was brought up
And i know that u were smiling when u see that car i bought her
And you sipped tears in heaven when you seen my car get balled up
But i can't complaint what the accident did to my left eye
Cuz look what a accident did to left eye
First Aaliyah and now romeo must die
I know a got angels watchin me from the other side
[chorus x2]
we are all warriers no particular power
you dont need a particular cariculum
to know that you are part of the mile
guys think that im delerious
but i am so damn serious
thats why i expose my soul to the globe the world
im tryin to make it better
for these little boys and girls
im not just another individual
my spirit is a part of this
thats why I get spiritual
but I did my hymn for them
so its not me its he thats lyrical
im not a miracle im a heaven sent instrument
my rhthmatic measurement novigates to ilavic notes
for your soul and your mental
thats why im instrumental
I embrace what im into
yeah i nedd my lou bariente
but that aint what gives me my the heart of koos figente
imtryin to give us us free like sincay
i cant stop
thats why im hot
determination dedication motivation
im talking to you amongst many inspirations
what i say i cant let you or self down
if i ruin the highest cliff in the highset river
and you slipped off the side
and gripped onto your life and my grip
i would never ever let you down
and when these words are found
let it be known that gods penmanship
has been signed with the language called love
thats why my breath is felt by the deaf
and why my words are heard with the minds and the ears of the blind
i too dream in color and in rhyme
so i guess im one of a kind
in a full house
cause whenever i open my heart
my soul or my mouth
a touch of God rains out
[ooh yeah]
