Jayz Verses

"I be crushing the buildings since Izod socks

I'm so independent, shit I might buy Koch

I might not stop, places to cop

76 floors you can call me the Doc...

Inspired by Basquiat, my chariots of fire

Everybody took shots hit my body up I'm tired

Build me up, break me down, to build me up again

They like Hov we need you back so we can kill your ass again

Hov got flow though he's no Big and Pac but he's close

How I'm supposed to win they got me fighting ghosts...

Same sword they knight you they gonna good night you with

Shit that's only half if they like you

That ain't he even the half what they might do

Don't believe me ask Michael

See Martin, see Malcolm

You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome

See Jesus, see Judas

See Ceasar, see Brutus

See success is like suicide

Suicide, it's a suicide

If you succeed prepare to be crucified

Hmm, media meddles, niggas sue you, you settle

Every step you take they remind you, you ghetto

So it's tough being Bobby Brown

To be Bobby then, you gotta be Bobby now

Now the question is is to have had and lost

Better than not having a....

Everybody want to be the king til shots ring

You laying in the balcony with holes in your dream

Or you Malcolm Xed out getting distracted by screams

Everybody get your hands off my jeans

Everybody look at you strange, say you changed

Uh, like you work that hard to stay the same

Uh, game stayed the same, the name changed

So it's best for those to not overdose on being famous

Most kings get driven so insane

That they try to hit the same vein that Kurt Cobain did

New dangers, so strangers invited to the inner sanctum of your chambers

Low chain them, the enemy's approaching so raise your draw bridge and

drown him into molding

In spirit I'm a Vulcan...

Everybody screaming they want the old Hov

But the new and improved Hov hit like Albert Pujols

Everybody want to

hear me talk that money like Phil Rizzuto

But my mind is on Pluto

Bills that I do fold I now invest on

Trying to find some loopholes in the IRS

That's where I used to have a few hoes I am just

Concentrating on making a new Hov do sex

I've awaken just to try to school those putos

Trying to follow in my shoes with Jew-froes

Better adhere to this text 'fore you go

Broke spending more than you applude on silly baguettes

I know silly baguettes, silly you learn on your own

At least my conscience is clear, I'm no longer steering
