Kelly Price (Jay-Z)
Talking: Throughout my life (uh huh uh huh uh)
no matter
what I’ve done.(Right)
You’ve been merciful and your love endureth (yeah)
through all
things (ye yeah) For that
I am eternally grateful.

Verse 1
Since my
date of birth
bought you nothing but hurt
play those video games
stole change
from ya purse
Sat on the cold court bench
’til I was arraigned in ya skirt
Saw
the pain in ya face
through you maintained a smirk
All you did was motivate me,
don’t let ’em hold you back
What I do I turned around
and I sold you crack,
I was a bastard for that
still I’m drowning in shame
Just remember one thing
now
you’re not to blame
You was newly separated
tryin’ to escape ya world,
and through my thirst
I didn’t help you
I just made things worse
I hated me
and everybody
that created crack

(Kanye)
Hey, Do you have any black inside you/
Would you like some, like some?/
You know you got a right to/ do whatever you like to/ don c, we got the right one, the right one/ in the club, always the flyest/ always got her hands the highest/ she stopped drinking diet coke, she on that coke diet/ she bat she bat her eyelids/ that girl is so wired/ I know she so tired/ but oooh she on fire/ hundred dollar bill, look at you look at you/ a hundred dollar bills, this aint new this aint new/ from that paris, lindsey, britney, mary-kate, and whitney/ people say that they clean, motherf–ker don’t bulls–t me/

(Chorus)
All the girls standing in line for the bathroom (2x)
All the girls standing in the, all the girls standing in the
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom

(Pharrel)
You left yo n—a home, you said you at your sisters/
You and your girlfriends wrong, you in here taking pictures/
You aint gotta tell us you spending daddy’s cash/
Your girlfriends jealous, you got the fattest ass/
One down to p, one trying to leave/
It’s hot as f–k but you dying just to ski/
It’s clear as black and white, like a fat panda/
Your brain is magic city, your nose is atlanta/
I said think about your future, you can’t do that tomorrow/
But you don’t hear a word, you see that SLR/ you like,”hey, pharrel, I aint trying to kill your mood/ but I can do the star trak sign, see, killer dude.”/
