[Chorus: Jay-Z & Amil]
S dot Carter
Y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa
Niggas can't stop ya
Competition is
Nope, nope, nope
S dot Carter
Y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa
Niggas can't stop ya
Competition is
Nope, nope, nope

[Verse 1: Jay-Z (Amil)]
No, no, no, nope
You can't see 'em
Though you got plans to be him
Pay homage if by chance you meet him
In his pants pocket, your advance and per diem
It's the undisputed champion
For clique, dough sick, no medicine for us
Competition like I said in the chorus
Let me spell it out for ya
Jay to the Amil
(A to the Y stay real fuck how they feel, uh-huh, uh-huh)
That's how we put it down
(Uh-huh, uh-huh y'all gon get it now)
Chip off the old block
Resemble my old pops
'Cept I tote Glocks and open dope spots
And I shut down rap crews
Smack them cats who flash tools
Laugh at fake ballers with bad jewels
I'll tell you once
This is shit you should've of knew
(Jigga what?) Jigga
(Jigga who?) Okay

[Chorus: Jay-Z & Amil]
S dot Carter
Y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa
Niggas can't stop ya
Competition is
Nope, nope, nope
S dot Carter
Y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa
Niggas can't stop ya
Competition is
Nope, nope, nope

[Verse 2: Jay-Z (Amil)]
No, no, no
I'm a Roc-A-fella soldier
I thought I told ya
Hustler, nigga move weight like Oprah
Drive wide body, twenty-inch big motor
No tints, make no mistake y'all it's Hova
I stay sporting played Jordan's before Jordan
Verses tight, hooks harder than Ken Norton
Musically touching you
Truthfully I abuse beats better call DCW
I make my mother move
So I have no problem coming around the old way
Sluggin' you, that's what a thug will do
(Thugging, bust TECs, a suspect dangerous, and I love rough sex)
Yeah that's what's up
Even when I'm asleep the gats is up
Paranoid like Sunny drive backing up
But I'm from Bed-Stuy, killer with the flow
Let lead fly from out the fo'-fo', motherfuckers

[Chorus: Jay-Z & Amil]
S dot Carter
Y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa
Niggas can't stop ya
Competition is
Nope, nope, nope
S dot Carter
Y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa
Niggas can't stop ya
Competition is
Nope, nope, nope

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
Competition is none
I remain at the top like the sun
And I burn whoever come in my chambers of torture
The flame gon' spark ya
Blood stain the tarp
What remains, they chalk ya
Don't try to smooth talk us

[Verse 4: Amil (Jay-Z)]
You got nothing to offer
But the baby nine
And make ya fine offer
The chick is ill
Even with four-inch heels
No panties on and Patricia Fields
I get down
Just name the time, the place
We could take it back to Vaseline on our face
On a regular day we just gleam up your space
Rock our own line, got our whole team laced
RW with the torch on my jeans by the waist
Without heat we still gon steam up the place
(Amil-lion, Jigga man, flawless, here we go)

[Chorus: Jay-Z & Amil]
S dot Carter
Y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa
Niggas can't stop ya
Competition is
Nope, nope, nope
S dot Carter
Y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa
Niggas can't stop ya
Competition is
Nope, nope, nope

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.
