[Intro: Jay-Z]

Uh, its the boy Jay-Z, and the boy R. Kel

The best of both worlds, please believe it

Brookland, Chi-Town, to all the beautiful ladies in the world

Dedicated to TT my niece, everybody in the world, talk to 'em Kel

That's right, Tone this is mean and vicious man, so mean and vicious

Rockland, Roc-a-Fella, the best of both worlds, come on



[Verse 1: Jay-Z]

Lord forgive me I'm ballin' out of control

Got the spirit of a hustler pouring out of my soul

Mami I love you but ain't no stopping my stroll

If you wanna be down with me you gotta rooolll

Like a roll and if my side of the bed gets cold

You gotta know that I'm out chasin' doooough

I'm ain't stunting these hoes

Stunting my growth if I fuck 'em I'm fleeing them

I need something to hold

Then I'm home to you

I might roam like a cellular phone

But I never leave you alone I

Solemnly swear, I was married to the block before I met you

It's still a part of me there but I

Solemnly swear, I try but it's in my blood

Pumping yay since I was yay high

I'm in love with the life

So except me for the bastard that I am

You're still in love with me right?



[Chorus: R. Kelly]

Baby I can't figure it out

Said you pussy tastes like honey

But I can't stop huggin' the block

All night tryna get this money



Stuck between these two worlds

What I'm gonna do with both these girls

Two main squeezes in separate cities

Both found out man, shit ain't pretty

Stuck between these two worlds

What I'm gonna do with both these girls

Hard to choose between her and these streets

Cuz the game keeps calling me



[Verse 2: Jay-Z]

Baby girl had me off my grind, off my clock

I would often find I was off my block

Couldn't keep her off my mind, my balls were shot

They never thought that a pause or stop

Was in my pores to push rock raw

Take a lost rebound like Bo Outlaw, I'm so outlaw

Got a hunger for this game, but keep that on the low

Like a one against the grain

Got the sun against my brain

A girl in my ear

I like her for her

I'm a dig into this shit, I like it like I like her

Sometimes I can't figure it out

I'm in love with the life but she's sticking it out

She know wanna hug kisses keep a nigga in the house

Lock down while his niggas is out (out)



[Chorus X2]
