But, I noticed a change in him when me and my husband broke up [Jay-Z Verse 2] Now all the teachers couldnīt reach me And my momma couldnīt beat me Hard enough to match the pain of my pops not seeing me, SO With that distain in my membrain Got on my pimp game Fuck the world my defense came Then Dahaven introuced me to the game Spanish Jose introduced me to cane Iīm a hustler now My gear is in and iīm in the in crowd And all the wavey light skinned girls is lovin me now My self esteem went through the roof man I got my swag Got a volvo from this girl when her man got bagged Plus I hit my momma with cash from a show that I had Supposedly knowin nobody paid Jaz wack ass Iīm geting ahead of myself, by the way, I could rap That came second to me movin this crack Gimme a second I swear I will say about my rap career Til 96 came niggas iīm here Good-bye [Jay-Zīs Mom:] Shawn use to be in the kitchen Beating on the table and rapping And um, until the wee hours of the morning And then I bought him a boom box And his sisters and brothers said he would drive them nuts But that was my way to keep him close to me and out of trouble [Jay-Z Verse 3] Good-bye to the game all the spoils, the adreneline rush Your blood boils you in a spot knowing cops could rush And you in a drop your so easy to touch No two days are alike Except the first and fifteenth pretty much And "trust" is a word you seldom hear from us Hustlers we donīt sleep we rest one eye up And the drought to find a man when the well dries up You learn to work the water without workin thirst til die YUP And niggas get tied up for product And little brothers ring fingers get cut up To show mothers they really got em And this was the stress I live with til I decided To try this rap shit for a livin I Pray iīm forgiven For every bad decision I made Every sister I played Cause iīm still paranoid to this day And itīs nobody fault I made the decisions I made This is the life I chose or rather the life that chose me If you canīt respect that your whole perspective is wack Maybe youīll love me when I fade to black If you canīt respect that your whole perspective is wack Maybe youīll love me when I fade to black [repeat 2 more times to fade]
