Yeah, yeah



Place: Marcy, Brooklyn

Actions: Well, ya'll know the actions



[Jay-Z]

Uh, I got this shorty on my block, always clockin' my rocks

He likes the style and profile, I think he wanna mock

He likes the way I walk, he sees my money talkin'

The honeys hawkin', I'm the hottest nigga in New York and

I see his hunger pains, I know his blood boils

He wanna...run with me, I know this kid'll be loyal

I watched him make a few ends, to cop his little sneakers and gear

Then it's just enough for re-up again

I see myself in his eyes I move from Levi's to Guess to Versace

Now it's diamonds like Liberace

That's just a natural cycle, nobody wanna be like Michael where I'm from

Just them niggas who banned from a gun

We out here tryna make hard white into cold green

I can help shorty blow out like afro sheen

Plus I can relive my days of youth, which is gone

That little nigga's peeps, it's time to put him on



[Jay-Z] It's time to come up

[Bleek] And hold my own weight, defend my crown

[Jay-Z] Gots to lock it down and when they rush

[Bleek] Stand my ground

[Jay-Z] It's time to come up

[Bleek] Stick out my chest and make some loot

[Jay-Z] Gots to lock it down and when they rush

[Bleek] Stand on my own two



[M.E.M.P.H.I.S. Bleek]

I'm out here slingin, bringin' the drama

Tryna come up in the game

And add a couple of dollars to my name

I'm out here servin', disturbin' the peace

Life could be better, like my man reclined in plush leather seats

And sellin' weight, I'm sellin' eight ball

Sixteen, tryna graduate to pushin' quarters
