[Verse 1]
Mo'uckers wanna act loco
Hit em with numerous
Shots with the fo'-fo'
Cats wanna talk to po-po's
Smoke em like coco
Not rap, coke by the boatload
Not that on the run-by, gun high, one eye closed
Left holes through some guy clothes
Stop your nonsense
Glock with the full clip
Y'all cats better duck when the fool spit
One shot could make a nigga do a full flip
See a cat laying shocked when the fool hit
Oh hey ma, how you know niggas wanna buy you
But see me I wanna love for free like Akinyele
Take this ride, make you feel it inside your belly
If it's tight get the K-Y Jelly
All night get you wide up inside the telly
Side to side, til you say Jay Z you're too much for me

[Verse 2]
Got a condo with nothing but condoms in it
The same place where the rhymes is invented
So all I do is rap and sex imagine how I stroke
See how I was flowing on my last cassette
Rapid-fire like I'm blasting a Tec, never jam though
Never get hot, never run out of ammo
Cats hating and shit cause I Jayed your bitch
You know your favorite, I know it made you sick
And now you're, acting raw but you never had war
Don't know how to carry your broad, wanna marry your broad
Now she's mad at me cause Your Majesty
Just happened to be a pimp - what a tragedy
She wanted, us to end cause I touched her friend
She gave me one more chance and I touch her again
I seen her tears as she busted in
I said shit
There's a draft
Shut the door ma and come on in

[Verse 3]
Yo
Got a vendetta even though I been better
Left him in the cold with a thin sweater
Rap cats on Prozac get the bozack, cats threw
Two at me I threw fo' back, hold that
Let the dough stack
Way before Big had the gold Ac
Dame had the Lex black
Cats wanna test that, stress that
And right where you're stressed at, where you rest at
I suggest that niggas invest in a vest when I come through
With the Glock jet black you niggas step back
I'm the best at you know I ain't no apprentice to this
Me and my niggas we invented the shhh
I came into the business with this
The Originator, none greater
Roots band drop that shhhh

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.
