[Verse 1]
Can I hit in the mornin' without givin' you half of my dough
And even worse, if I was broke would you want me
If I couldn't get you finer things like all of them diamond rings
Jigga's kill for would you still roll
If we couldn't see the sun risin' off the shore of Thailand
Would you ride then, if I wasn't driving
If I wasn't a by the name of
Would you come around me or would you clown me
If I couldn't flow futuristic, would ya
Put your two lips on my wood and kiss it, could ya
See yourself with a working harder than nine to five
Then ten to six, two jobs to survive, or
Do you need a so you can shop and tear the mall up
Brag, tell your friends what I bought ya
If you couldn't see yourself with a player when his dough is low
Baby girl, if this is so, yo

[Hook]
Can I get a (whoop whoop)
To all of my thugs who don't love those that get no dough
Can I get a (whoop Whoop)
To all of my ladies, uh, aha
Can I get a (whoop whoop)
To all of my players who don't love those that got no dough
Uh Uh
Now can you bounce with me
Can you bounce with me with me with me
Can you bounce with me
Bounce bounce bounce

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.
