[Jay-Z]
Who ever thought young Shawn Carter would change the game?
Used to rap to the raindrops off my window pane
Duckin the plain cops, pushin indo and īcaine
At the kitchen table late night, no pen, just my brain
First album niggaz love me cause they thought I was poor
Guess Iīm successful; industry donīt love me no more
Well Iīm the same nigga from your corner, bubblin raw
Skully tilted, pants saggin, damn near touchin the floor
And I come with do-rags to your so-called awards
T-shirt with my chain out like fuck yīall all
Retrospect ainīt been the same since I lost my dad
Heīs still alive, but still fuck you, donīt cross my path
A&Rīs had me feelin like moss in the drab
So I turned the league out with "Reasonable Doubt"
Get your CDīs out, letīs go, song for song
Iīm the illest nigga doin it til yīall prove me wrong
Do you believe?
Itīs Hova the God, uhh, uhh, uhh..
