[Jay-Z]

I hustle from, night to morning, dawn to dusk

Kidnap and robberies like, (c'mon nigga) "You goin with us"

I held roundtable meetings so we could go on and discuss

not only money but all the emotions goin through us

Why we don't cry when niggaz die, that's how the street raised him

Look in the air, say a prayer (hail mary) hopin God forgave him

Cop liquor, twist it, tap it twice, pour it to the pavement

We live dangerous, often findin ourself in the eyes of strangers

(Who the fuck is you?) My dream is big and in it my team is rich

as seen through the eyes of a nigga who ain't seen shit

Back to live action, I'm packin, I'm still in the mix

like new hits, I think I'm goin over your head a lil' bit

But I let you know I changed names when I roam through town

Stay free and be who I'm professional known as now

Jay-motherfuckin-Z; and with that said

back to Shawn Carter the hustler, Jay-Z is dead, and uhh

[Jay-Z]

My infatuation with autos led to autos gettin sprayed

Houses gettin broken in, quarters gettin trayed

Bricks gettin chopped, mom's pots gettin used

One thrown in that water, try the soda in there too

Expensive shoes worn, Louis Vuitton seat, roof gone

Coke cheap, my face is like a coupon

I gotta do Shawn, cause even when Jay-Z was lukewarm -a
