[Intro: Kanye West]
Yo Jin! We good wit this one, yeah

[Intro 2: Jin]
Good looking Kanye, Ruff Ryder, Roc-A-Fella collabo
You see, we're the next generation in this rap game
So it's only right we got down like this

[Hook: Kanye West]
I got a love that's better than you ever was
You've never been no good for me
I guess I was just way too hood for you to be with
I got a love that's better than you ever was
You've never been no good for me
I guess I was just way too hood for you to be with

[Verse 1: Jin]
Yo I was doing a show with Kanye in the West
Mid that is, so basically the Chi and M.I. is up in the mix
We in the game now, it makes perfect sense
The kid that 'Dropped Outta College', the other never went
We take turns doing our one, two's and yes yes y'alls
Look at shorty with my name, tatted on her breast y'all
Mr. West, what do you think is the best?
(Kanye: Take em backstage, get aquainted that's what I suggest dawg)
When it comes to spittin G, I'm one of the best y'all
She look goods, smell clean and she had fresh draws
Naw, that's too good to be
Usually them type of chicks ain't good for me, no

[Hook: Kanye West]
I got a love that's better than you ever was
You've never been no good for me
I guess I was just way too hood for you to be with
I got a love that's better than you ever was
You've never been no good for me
I guess I was just way too hood for you to be with

[Verse 2: Jin]
I got a - way with words, I use words in ways
I convince birds to come out they cage and play
Polly want a Gucci Parka, ma what did you say
Polly might get a cracker ain't no trickin today, hey
But anyway though, she got it on smash like mashed potatoes
High class with a ass that'll smash on J. Lo
Lay low, got Play-Doh, stash the payroll
Ain't no - credit card, spendin cash on Rodeo
And me? I'm at the Slauson Swap Meet
Lookin for a pair of Air One's and white tee's
She want champagne, I got Sisco and Kool-Aid
Why go to the movies? let's watch the bootleg

[Hook: Kanye West]
I got a love that's better than you ever was
You've never been no good for me
I guess I was just way too hood for you to be with
I got a love that's better than you ever was
You've never been no good for me
I guess I was just way too hood for you to be with

[Verse 3: Jin]
Girl I don't wear Prada, never met Gucci
Or wore Versace, y'all is too bougie
We all know Kanye is Mr. Louis Vuitton
But if I see a L and a V, I'd think that it's on
That's what my old chick used to clash with me
(Jin, why'd you get this fake Louis bag for me)
Actually, you should be happy I purchased that
I take this as a sign, you don't want the matching hat
Huh, I'm too gutter, you more Parkay with yours
I'm more I can't believe it's not butter
What the - other - suckas do for love is a damn shame
I got a new significant other cause plans change

[Hook: Kanye West]
I got a love that's better than you ever was
You've never been no good for me
I guess I was just way too hood for you to be with
I got a love that's better than you ever was
You've never been no good for me
I guess I was just way too hood for you to be with

He’s well-known for his rap battles on BET’s Freestyle Friday; itself a segment of 106 & Park. His success on TV gave him enough recognition to be signed to Ruff Ryders Entertainment, but departed from the label in 2005 to “explore other options”.

Jin became a born-again Christian in 2008, and signed onto Catch Adventures.
