[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
Nigga please, you ain't start out from your trunk
Then reach the roof, just to put your roof in your trunk
Nigga please, chumps don't tour like us
You on the road a million hours, I fly over your bus
Nigga please, you ain't got your neck all froze
With the same logo that you got sketched on your clothes
Nigga please, you don't be getting no hoes
With La Perla on they cheeks, can't be messin with cheap chicks
Nigga please, you seldom seen with chicks in 7 jeans
Manolo Blahnik, I'm goin through they body like an ultrasonic
You ain't got 'em blowin no chronic
Divine intervention, y'all can't prevent me from shinin
Nigga please, I been around the world
I damn near beat Jordan in around-the-world
Nigga please, you can't even hold my shoes
I got wannabes who wanna be me that sound better than you

[Chorus: Pharrell (Jay-Z)]
My nigga, please - you ain't signin' no checks like these
My nigga, please - you pushin' no wheels like these
My nigga, please - you ain't holdin' no TECs like these
My nigga, please - you don't pop open vests like these

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
Ahhh! Pimp strollin' on 'em
Black diamonds, rose goldin' on 'em, paper foldin on 'em
Snuck pass the dog noses with the Folger's on 'em
Keys, Saran Wrap with petroleum on 'em
Snitch got pinched but he told it on him
Lawyers got it adjourned, 'til I squeeze 'em on him
There's no witnesses, it's no holdin on him
Just George Jefferson strollin' on 'em, uhh
Nigga please, this is me, this is real as it be
My, videos is like Real TV
That chick, that's me, that 6, that's me
That boat, I had it on the Mediterranean sea
Nigga please

[Chorus: Pharrell (Jay-Z)]
My nigga, please - you ain't signin' no checks like these
My nigga, please - you pushin' no wheels like these
My nigga, please - you ain't holdin' no TECs like these
My nigga, please - you don't pop open vests like these

[Verse 3: Young Chris]
Yo, yo
Nigga please, y'all ain't seein no checks like these (no)
Y'all don't run up in record labels demandin respect like we
Y'all don't rock your Roc-A-Wear Nike checks like we
Y'all coach class, y'all never private jet like we
My nigga please, y'all don't smoke the sour diesel like us
You don't go to Pop and get ya flour cheaper than us
Knock it off in three hours and repeat it like us
And repeat it we must, y'all don't re-up like us
Ay, y'all ain't bein like us, 'cause y'all don't see it like us
They move the D's when they rush
My nigga please, they must be on E's and dust
Them niggas F'in with pills, y'all don't get G's like us
My nigga please, y'all young'ns ain't got O.G.s like me
B. Sig, Young Hov', Dame Dash, Kareem
Nigga please, somebody must've gassed your team
Think a nigga outrun or outlast gangrene (GangGreen)
My nigga please

[Chorus: Pharrell (Jay-Z)]
My nigga, please - you ain't signin' no checks like these
My nigga, please - you pushin' no wheels like these
My nigga, please - you ain't holdin' no TECs like these
My nigga, please - you don't pop open vests like these

[Pharrell]
Amazin man, got your Elvis soul
I made my money! I don't trouble the law
I keep the womens around
I drive the gremlins crazy
You wanna know the time?
Better have your shades, see
My nigga please

[Chorus: Pharrell (Jay-Z)]
My nigga, please - you ain't signin' no checks like these
My nigga, please - you pushin' no wheels like these
My nigga, please - you ain't holdin' no TECs like these
My nigga, please - you don't pop open vests like these

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.
