When I was moving weight, back in 88
You was a ballerina I got the pictures I seen ya -
lookin at your casket feelin' sarcastic
like look at him, still sleepin -
"I got 99 problems but a ? ain't one" has to be his most quoted
-
-
"can i hit in the mornin' without givin you half of my dough
& even worse if i was broke would you want mee?metal face terrorist wrote: »Can I Live >>>
Bond with jewelers and watch for intruders
I stepped it up another level, meditated like a Buddhist
Recruited lieutenants with ludicrous dreams of gettin' cream
"Let's do this!" It gets te-di-ous
So I keep one eye open like CBS
You see me stressed right? -
lol your wrong a guy called mark twain wrote “Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”
consider yourself educated, your welcome.
Considering the sentence started with a "a wise man told me" common sense would point to it being written by someone else...he still put it in a rap and it's still a great Jay quote.
Props on your google skills tho fam...for knowledge is power -
Yeah you shining, but the only thing you're leaving out
You're a candle in the sun, that ? dont even out
I sell ice in the winter, I sell fire in Hell
I am a hustler baby, I sell water to a whale
Bangin Blueprint right now. It's been too long. -
The following could apply also to a Piggy Smalls notable/quotable bars thread
Jay-Z - "Squeeze 1st"
"That's why I, squeeze first ask quesions last. That's how most of these so called gangstas pass"
Jay-Z - "The Ruler's Back"
"Your reign on the top was shorter than leprechauns"
Jay-Z - "Real N&^%s"
"On the road to riches and diamond rings real n^%$ do real things"
Jay-z - "A Million and One Questions"
"All I got for chicks is hard d%$# and bubble gum"
Jay-Z - "Best Of Both Worlds" (Jay-Z & R.Kelly)
"Think About It While The Streets You Roam It's Don P And Army In The Fridge When You Get Home"
-
"What's the difference between a 4.0 & a 4.6? About 30 to 40 grand ? sucker beat it"
Do them ? even got leather? -
While I'm watchin every ? watchin me closely
My ? is butter for the bread they wanna toast me
I keep my head, both of them where they supposed to be
Hoes'll get you sidetracked then clapped from close feet
One of the best opening 4 bars ever especially with the the double entendres weaved in all thru. Not for nothing these lines made me ? wit him much more especially when I grew up n understood what he meant. Words to live by as a single young man. -
This us Sinatry at the opra, bring a blond
Preferably with phat ass who can sing a song
Great play on the "I got the game on lock, its over, the fat lady has sung" cliche -
Btw from D.O.A^
One of the 3 good joints on blueprint 3 the rest of thr album was trash
* kanye shrug * -
"They hate a ? loving his life"
Real ? -
"They hate a ? loving his life"
Real ?
? that's something I can come up with. Jay is overrated. Get over it -

How sick am I, I wish you health -
We spray corners, stand there like you got a cape on ya, fine
You'll be wearing a black suit a long time
So I'm cruisin in the car with this ? broad
She said, "Jigga-Man you rich, take the doo-rag off"
Hit a U-turn; ma I'm droppin you back off
Front of the club, "Jigga why you do that for?"
Thug ? til the end, tell a friend ?
Won't change for no paper plus I been rich -
I was gonna ? a couple rappers
But they did it to themselves
I was gon' do it with the flow
But they did it with their sales
I was gon' 9/11 'em, but they didn't need the help
And they did a good job them boys is talented as hell
Cuz not only did they brick they put a building up as well
They ran a plane into that building and when that building fell
Ran to the crash site with no masks and inhaled
Toxins deep inside their lungs until both of them was filled
Blew a cloud out like a L into a jar then took a smell
Cuz they heard that second hand smoke kills
? thought they was ill found out they was...ILL
And it's like you knew exactly how I wanted you to feel
-thank you -
So far I'm tourin on foreign land
Worldwide I'm known for the Arm & Hamm-
-Er, Murder the streets I'm a wanted man
(But the flow's like dope) So it's on again
Started with the block, hit it brick by brick
Then I charted with the ROC ? , hit by hit
I'm ? with the glock ? , clip by clip
The competition is none, they deceased to exist
Let it breathe a little bit
He's off his rocker, he's a lil schitz'
Roll like a football, Hov' used to cook raw
Now I got the game sewn like granny's good shawl
Sure, y'all ? want war
Y'all got it backwards, y'all should want raw
Y'all should want more (and more, and more - uhh!)
-get throwed
Always enjoyed that verse ... Nothing too spectacular though -
While others spit that
wonderama ?
me n my comglomerate
shall remain anonymous...
i want money like COSBY,
WHO WOULDNT!?
Its talk like that
make me think you probably aitn got no puddin
I like the original best.
The way he spit tha sht on Fade to Black in front of that dude was so ill
one day u cruisin in the seven
next day, ya alibis aint matchin up
bullsh#t catchin up
you hit with the RICO
they repo that vehicle
sh#t was all good just a week ago
now you start bythcin aint you
ready to start snitchin aint you
I forgive ya weak ass
hustlin ust aint you
Aside from the fast cars
Hunnies that shake they ass at bars
You know you wouldn't be involved
With the underworld dealers, carriers and mac-milli's
East-coast bodiers, west-coast cap peelers
Little monkey ? turn gorilla's
He BLACKED. -

? 's beats is bangin', ? your hooks did it
Your lyrics didn't, your gangsta look did it
So I would write it if y'all could get it
Bein intricate'll get you wood, critic
On the internet, they like you should spit it
I'm like you should buy it, ? that's good business
Forget this rap ? I need a new hustle
A little bit of everything, the new improved Russell
I say that reluctantly cause I do struggle
As you see I can't leave so I do love you
But I'm just a hustler disguised as a rapper
In fact you can't fit this hustle inside of a wrapper
Back when ? was
What these pills are, I was a real star
Complete with real cars, no video ones
You can come and set up a camera, let the video run
And my real life, complete with real ice
VVS boulders oh they're visibly set
Head and shoulders, my invisible neck
You see Hova wasn't digital yet
Befo' Steve Jobs made the iPod
Was gettin' head jobs, we call that intimate
Back when rappers wouldn't dare play lyrical roulette
With a automatic weapon I was rappin' with a Tec
Fresh like Mannie be, chain like anti-freeze
Shoebox full of cash, dealer man hand me ki's
Pantries full of Arm & Hammer, don't take Nancy Drew to see
What it do, I'm a damn G
Just sent a million dollars through a hands free
That's big money talk, can you answer me?
Before the answer was a 3
I was down in Georgetown with a Hoya chick, lawyer chick
Sure he's rich now cause he saw the ? , all this ?
That's why they call him Hov', cause he came before all this ?
Bought a 6, quarter seven, skipped on them quarter eights
Bought a 9 for non-stop Glock work all the time
Woo! Guess who's back?
Since this is a new era, got a fresh new hat
Ten year veteran, I've been set
I've been through with this ? game but I never quit
I used to think rappin' at 38 was ill
But last year alone I grossed 38 mill'
I know I ain't quite 38 but still
The flow so Special got a 38 feel
The real is back, hehehehe
Prelude -- Jay -Z
Whole song was sick with the rhymes -
Jay got quotables for days.
-
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't 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 Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified
How could you falter when you're the Rock of Gibraltar?
I had to get off the boat so I could walk on water
This ain't no tall order, this is nothin' to me
Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week -
I heard ? saying s they made Hov,
Made Hov say, "ok, make another Hov"
Im afraid of the future, y'all respect the one that got shot
i respect the shooter.
