Verse One:

You wanna front what?
Jump up and get bucked
If you’re feeling lucky duck
Then press your luck
I snatch fake gangsta MC’s and make em f—–t flambé
Your nine spray my mind spray
Malignant mist steadily pumps the funk
The results you’re a gang stuffed in a car trunk
You couldn’t come to the jungles of the East poppin that game
You won’t survive get live catchin wreck is our thing
I don’t gang bang or shoot out bang bang
The relentless lyrics the only dope I slang
I’m a true master you can check my credentials
Cuz I choose to use my infinite potentials
Got a freaky, freaky, freaky-freaky flow
Control the mic like fidel castro locked cuba
So deep that you can scuba dive/my jive
Origin is unknown like the Jubas
I’ve accumulated honies all across the map
Cuz I’d rather bust a nut then bust a cap in
Ya back in fact my rap snaps ya sacroilliac
I’m the mack so i don’t need to tote a Mac
My attack is purely mental and its nature’s not hate
It’s meant to wake ya up out of ya brainwashed state
Stagnate nonsense but if you persist
You’ll get ya snotbox bust you press up on this
I flip hoes dip none of the real n—as slip
You don’t know enough math to count the mics that I ripped
Keep the Dirty Rotten Scoundrel as his verbal weapons spit

Party people in the place to be
From the same man who brought you Da B—ez
(Da B—ez Da B—ez Da B—ez)
We were misunderstood last time we brought you
Ba B—ez (Da B—ez Da B—ez)
Now we gonna clear it up and let you make up your own mind
like this…

Now a queen’s a queen and a w—e is a w—e
She felt if she made me wait I’d have more respect for her
Adore her eventually spendin up my digits
She felt that love would make me buy her mad material s–t
She likes to trick em, cause ain’t nothin like a sleepin victim
East New York style stick em — ha ha ha, stick em
Top rated game, but if it’s game I played it
Underestimated, swore the king was checkmated
She claims she loves my mind, cause I’m so intelligent
But f–k my mental, she was scheming on my mint
Evil inten-tion, to de-plenish the fund
She tried to juice me with the p—y cept for, the mask and gun
I was a fool to fall in lust with this evil ge-nius
She had me by the nuts
She ain’t got s–t but man she loves it plush
Whippin I whip, and suckin up I canibus
Back in the days, I woulda scraped her for this caper
But I realize, it wasn’t me it was the paper

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

Even left all my motherf–king hoes for ya
N—as think Frankie p—y whipped, n—a picture that

Sweetness,

Petiteness,
But that ass fat
She got a body make a n—a wanna eat that, I’m f—kin’ with you
The b—h official though, d–k harder than a missile yo
Try to hit if she trippin disappearing like Arsenio
Yo, the b—h push a double-oh
with the five in front, probably a conniving stunt
Y’all drive in front, I’m a peel with her
Find a deal with her, she f–k around and steal, huh?
Then we all get laced

(Right..) (Right..)
Check me out y’all, Nasty Nas in your area
About to cause mass hysteria

[Nas]
Before a blunt, I take out my fronts
Then I start to front, matter of fact, I be on a manhunt
You couldn’t catch me in the streets without a ton of reefer
That’s like Malcolm X, catchin the Jungle Fever
King poetic, too much flavor, I’m major
Atlanta ain’t Brave-r, I’ll pull a number like a pager
Cause I’m am ace when I face the bass
40-side is the place that is giving me grace
Now wait, another dose and you might be dead
And I’m a Nike head, I wear chains that excite the feds
And ain’t a damn thing gonna change
I’ma performer strange show the mic warmer was born to gain
Nas, why did you do it?
You know you got the mad fat fluid when you rhyme, it’s halftime

(Right..) It’s halftime
(Right..) Aiyyo it’s halftime
(Right..) It’s halftime
(Right..) Yeah, it’s about halftime
This is how it feel, check it out, how it feel
