Jay-z - Numb/Encore (Remix) lyrics

[Intro: Kanye West & Jay-Z] (Let's go) Can I get an Encore, do you want more... [Verse 1: Jay-Z] Who you know fresher than Hov'? Riddle me that
The rest of y'all know where I'm lyrically at
Can't none of y'all mirror me back
Yeah hearin me rap is like hearin G. Rap in his prime
I'm, young H.O., rap's Grateful Dead
Back to take over the globe, now break bread
I'm in, Boeing jets, Global Express
Out the country but the blueberry still connect
On the low but the yacht got a triple deck
But when you Young, what the f** you expect? (Yep, yep)
Grand openin, grand closin
Goddamn your man Hov' cracked the can open again
Who you gon' find doper than him with no pen
Just draw off inspiration
Soon you gon' see you can't replace him
With cheap imitations from These generations [Hook: Jay-Z, ApolloX, Linkin Park, Eminem] Now can I get an encore, do you want more
Cookin raw with the Brooklyn boy
So for one last time I need y'all to roar
Now what the hell are you waitin for
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, n***a make some noise (Get ya a** up for the Doctor, come on now, here we go, Cliffhanger, it's another club banger, got you hangin' on the edge of your seat, get on down)
Now What the hell are you waiting for? [Verse 2: Dr. Dre] Times up, game's over, you lose, I win
'Bout to show these knuckleheads how to do this here
Ooh yeah, new year, next phase, begin
Look who's got you goin' crazy again
I'm a trend, I set one every time I'm in
I go out and just come back full circle again
You a fad, that means your something that we already had
But once you're gone, you don't come back, too bad [Verse 3: Eminem] You're off the map now, radar can't even find you
We stay on the grind, you slip, we out-grind you
You walk around mad, you let your anger blind you
We walk around just playin' the violin behind you
Enough with all the pissin' and moanin', whinin' and b**hin'
Sit and observe, listen, you'll learn if you pay attention
Why 10 multi-platinum albums later, three diamond
Worldwide, we're on the charts with a bullet and still climbin' [Hook] [Verse 4: 2 Pac] The only way to change me is maybe blow my brains out
Stuck in the middle of the game to get the pain out
Pray to my God everyday, but he don't listen
The poverty bothers me, but mama's working wonders in the kitchen
Listen! I can hear her crying in the bedroom
Praying for money but never think would she be dead soon
Am I wrong for wishing I was somewhere else
I'm thirteen, can't feed myself
Can I blame daddy cause he left me?
Wish he would've hugged
Too much like him, so my mama don't love me
On my own at a early age, I'm getting paid
And I'm strapped, so I'll never be afraid
Where did I go astray?
I'm hanging in the back streets
Running with G's and dope fiends, will they jack me?
Can't turn back, my eyes on the prize
I got nothing to lose, everybody gotta die
Say good-bye to the bad guy
That one, you f**ed, when you pa**ed by
Buck-buck from a Glock let the gla** fly
Do or die walk a mile in my shoes
Then you'd be crazy too [Half Hook] [Verse 6: ApolloX] Everybody ask what the f** am I thinking Make a six minute song and not even f**ing blinking Not even a second thought when I put the rhythm and I k** em with the venom and I didn't think you wanted to do it And if you went to the crib and ripped the rib and stuck a fib in a kid then I'll get rid Of you and all of your worthless a** friends don't pretend that I'm not the one you sent and talked all the trash and said things like I was nothing Saying things like "X is trash, he s**s a**, and he ba**, not a cla**, yea I know that he's the gra**, he'll never get up from the gla**, never pa**ed, never asked, never got a la** or the goddamn a**, or never got a new task" Well Ima lock, then I'll talk, then I'll get up on the top And if you doubt that I'll do rock, maybe you just In a flock And maybe you just gotta stop and just not to flop And now its not time to walk Now b**h, get the f** on my rhyme And I'll make it all a tune down whine And you know what is the line like a time for a dime and just the time to die Like the rhymes of my mind and the sign of my shine [Verse 7: Linkin Park] I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take [Alt. Hook: Jay-Z, ApolloX, Linkin Park, 2 Mistik] I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
I've become so numb
Can I get an encore, do you want more, more, more, more [Outro: Linkin Park, Jay-Z, ApolloX] I've become so numb
So for One last time I need y'all to roar
One last time I need y'all to roar
