[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
Yeah, c'mon, from the gutter to the rich
From holes in my clothes to the most butter shit
That's life, what a bitch
Now I rock ice for the fuck of it
Your wife love my shit, know who you fuckin' with? (Uh-huh)
Jay-Hovah, 'fore I never got no play
Now these bitches wanna give me more head than Sade (Ugh!)
(Say what?) Crisp in the 6 withcha bitch parlayed
I need privacy, I pull up the back shade
Initials on the headrest, it's official
Style so sick I need bed rest, nigga I got issues (Say what?)
I hate fake bitches, "you gotta wait" bitches
"I don't know you, I don't fuck on the first date" bitches (Is that right?)
Hot shot niggas, talk to the cop niggas (Yeah!)
"Money, that's my girl," cock-block niggas
See you in the club, and scheme on your watch niggas
Talk a lot of shit with no Glock niggas
It's Jigga baby, let it be known
I'm the king, I could never be dethroned
It's the God!

[Chorus: Jay-Z & (Timbaland)]
Uh-huh, yeah yeah yeah
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, yo

Well spit the game nigga (Lobster and shrimp, nigga)
Yo, ain't nuttin' changed nigga, you know the name Jigga
And I came to put it down for y'all, what?

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
Call me, fitty plus, niggas envious
Drop top, Jigga, leave 'em in the dust
You got a lot of crew, do any of 'em bust?
Hell no, Jigga off the hook, "Hello!"
They call me papi c, this is hot to me
I got this lock and key, I got cities under siege
When I'm in L.A. the six-four is ill
When I'm in the A-T-L it's the Coupe DeVille
When I'm down in Miami, I'm hoppin' through
With the all black Ninja with the sock over my shoe
Mami screamin', "Papi chu', who keeps stoppin' you?"
And I'm screamin', "Not a cat, mami holla back"
It ain't nothin' but beginners, and y'all in the game
But y'all can't ball like Chicago centers
This is it niggas, get your grip niggas
It's about to get hot mami, Who You Wit? "Jigga!"

[Chorus: Jay Z & (Timbaland)]
Is you a pimp nigga? (Yes I'm a pimp nigga)
Well spit the game nigga (Lobster and shrimp, nigga)
Ain't nuttin' changed nigga, you know the name Jigga
And I came to put it down for y'all
Is you a pimp nigga? (Yes I'm a pimp nigga)
Well spit the game nigga (Lobster and shrimp, nigga)
Ain't nuttin' changed nigga, you know the name Jigga
And I came to put it down for y'all
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3: Jay-Z, Timbaland & Both]
Hear Timbo' on the CB, need some info
Your chick is with you Dawg? Gotta be, 10-4
I'm in the 5-speed now so I shift to fo'
Mash my foot on the gas 'til it hit the floor
Tires left skid marks, whoa
Shit's about to start (How we got there?)
Snatched the case of Crist' up out the car
Can you stand the rain 'cause it's pourin' now
I hope she likes porno flicks 'cause she starrin' now!
If the answer is no, she speakin' foreign now
Just let a brotha know, I turn my car around
Freak or freeze, if the answer really is no
Girl I leave so fast you can speak to my breeze
She said, "You're stressin' me now,"
Said, "No No No," then, "Yea yea yea" like she Destiny's Child
We about to cook with no recipe now
To the mornin', then; LET'S BE OUT!

[Chorus: Jay Z & (Timbaland)]
Is you a pimp nigga? (Yes I'm a pimp nigga)
Well spit the game nigga (Lobster and shrimp, nigga)
Ain't nuttin' changed nigga, you know the name Jigga
And I came to put it down for y'all
Is you a pimp nigga? (Yes I'm a pimp nigga)
Well spit the game nigga (Lobster and shrimp, nigga)
Ain't nuttin' changed nigga, you know the name Jigga
And I came to put it down for y'all
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hear Timbo' on the CB, need some info
Your chick is with you Dawg?
[Timbaland] Gotta be, 10-4
I'm in the 5-speed now so I shift to fo'

[Outro: Timbaland]
That's how we do it y'all
Timbaland, Jay-Z
Two pimps
Two pimps
Two pimps baby

Don't you like that?
We like to do it like that
We like to ride these tracks
Uhh, you don't think we two pimps?
Huh, holla back
You know what? Tell you somethin' like this
With the Ferraris and Jaguars, switchin' four lanes
Ha ha, money ain't a thang
Ha ha, I got no thangs you know what I'm sayin'?
You know why? 'Cause I'm a pimp
And Jay-Z? He's the pimper you know what I'm sayin'?
That's how we do it right here in the nine-eight
So we gotta be out let it ride like this
Bounce

Timbaland

Timbaland (born Timothy Zachery Mosley on March 10, 1972) is a record producer and songwriter, and occasionally does some rapping on the side.

His first full-credit production work was in 1996 on Ginuwine…the Bachelor for R&B singer Ginuwine. After further work on Aaliyah’s 1996 album One in a Million and Missy Elliott’s 1997 album Supa Dupa Fly, Timbaland became a prominent producer for R&B and hip-hop artists.

He initially released several albums under his own name (along with his fellow collaborator Magoo), and eventually developed a solo career as a producer.
