[Intro: Jay-Z]
Roc-A-Fella, Ruff Ryders, Swizz Beatz
It's almost over y'all
Jigga, how real is that?
Uhh, uhh, uhh, lights out niggas!

[Chorus: Jay-Z (Eve)]
(Jigga) What's my motherfuckin' name?
(Jigga) And who I'm rollin' with huh?
(My niggas) Uh-huh-uh-uhh-uhh-uhh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right, WHO?
(Jigga) What's my motherfuckin' name?
(Jigga) And who I'm rollin' with huh?
(My niggas) Uh-huh-uh-uhh-uhh-uhh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
Yeah.. yeah..
From the crap tables down in A.C
Back on the block, Jay-Z motherfucker from the, the, the Roc
Went solo on that ass but it's still the same
Brooklyn be the place where I serve them thangs
B. my niggas was strugglin', to the 'burbs they came
And then we got to hustlin', murderin' thangs
I dipped in my stash, splurged on a chain
Now I'm Titanic, Iceberg's the name
Leave players on injured reserve, hurt the game
The best way to describe me in a word, insane
I dick down chicks all emerged in my fame
Jigga been dope since Slick Rick's first chain
The God, send you back to the earth from which you came
I'm bakin' soda, water, fire, merged with 'caine
Ladies don't know me said, "I heard he's vain."
Well, guess what, mami? I heard the same
You heard the name

[Chorus: Jay-Z (Eve)]
(Jigga) What's my motherfuckin' name?
(Jigga) And who I'm rollin' with huh?
(My niggas) Uh-huh-uh-uhh-uhh-uhh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right, WHO?
(Jigga) What's my motherfuckin' name?
(Jigga) And who I'm rollin' with huh?
(My niggas) Uh-huh-uh-uhh-uhh-uhh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
Yeah, uhh, I got a
License to kill so I steer the Gat
Roc-A-Fella, Ruff Ryders, niggas scared of that
Got a new motto this year, "Don't Fuck With My Ones"
Knock on your door, three in the mornin'
"It's just us and the guns!"
See I scrambled with priests, hustle with nuns
I got the, mind capacity of a young Butch Cassidy
Niggas get fly, let 'em defy gravity
Fo'-five rapidly, lift your chest cavity
Streets won't let me chill
Always been a clumsy nigga, don't let me spill
Muh'fuckers wanna wet me still, I remain y'all
Raw the one, like five divided by four
Shit, this just the hate that's been provided by y'all
Reciprocated and multiplied by more
You likely to see Jigga in a widebody or
Drop-top Bentley Azure, holla at me y'all, uhh

[Chorus: Jay-Z (Eve)]
(Jigga) What's my motherfuckin' name?
(Jigga) And who I'm rollin' with huh?
(My niggas) Uh-huh-uh-uhh-uhh-uhh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right, WHO?
(Jigga) What's my motherfuckin' name?
(Jigga) And who I'm rollin' with huh?
(My niggas) Uh-huh-uh-uhh-uhh-uhh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
I don't give a fuck if I sold one or one million, but I think you should
'Cause if I only sold one, then out comes the hood
All black in the club, the outcome ain't good
Them niggas act like wolves, how come? They could
'Cause we don't drop hits, we drop bombs that smash
'Til the wrists is lit up, the arm looks like glass
The necklace chipped up, the charm it flash
Could fuck up your eyes like the bombest hash
See the reason why chicks let me palm they ass
All I gotta do is let 'em call me Shawn they glad
Let me sit up in the whip 'til I launch it back
Snap they neck, then shoot 'em 'til they arch them back
The calmest cat, trust me when I palm this gat
Kill your mind, body and soul, push your conscience back
Monster's back, and Flex drop a bomb to that
And e'rybody sing-a-long to the track, c'mon
Uh-huh uhh uhh

[Chorus: Jay-Z (Eve)]
(Jigga) What's my motherfuckin' name?
(Jigga) And who I'm rollin' with huh?
(My niggas) Uh-huh-uh-uhh-uhh-uhh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right, WHO?
(Jigga) What's my motherfuckin' name?
(Jigga) And who I'm rollin' with huh?
(My niggas) Uh-huh-uh-uhh-uhh-uhh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right
(Jigga) What's my motherfuckin' name?
(Jigga) And who I'm rollin' with huh?
(My niggas) Uh-huh-uh-uhh-uhh-uhh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right, WHO?
(Jigga) What's my motherfuckin' name?
(Jigga) And who I'm rollin' with huh?
(My niggas) Uh-huh-uh-uhh-uhh-uhh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right
(Jigga, haha)

JAY-Z

Having sold over 100 million records worldwide, and holding the solo artist record of 14 Billboard 200 #1 albums, Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter is possibly the most talented, accomplished and respected rapper of all-time. He has released 13 studio albums and five collaborative albums over his 30-year career.

Three of his albums, Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, and The Black Album, are considered landmarks in the genre, with all of them featured in Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Hov has won 21 Grammy Awards from sixty-four nominations, making him the 10th most awarded artist of all-time.

Legendary for never writing down his lyrics, JAY-Z’s flow is considered one of the greatest to grace the genre, his wordplay and metaphorical ability is unmatched, and his live shows push the envelope of what it means to be a hip hop artist. His MTV Unplugged appearance introduced the idea of having a full band (The Roots) backing up a hip hop artist at major concerts, and during his 2004 documentary Fade to Black he doubled down, selling out Madison Square Garden (in mere minutes) while featuring an enormous live band performance.
