Can you hear me now? Good! (Blueprint 2 baby!) The best of times, it was the worst of times (aoww) It's "The Gift & the Curse" [Hook: Jay-Z] R.O.C. yeah, number one clique here If you represent us, throw them diamonds up YEAH Now let's be clear, I ain't goin nowhere Now that you know, holla at your boy HOV'.. (Hov', Hov', Hov') (Hov', Hov', Hov', Hov') [Overlapping first Hook] Yeah, Roc-A-Fella Records You know what diamond is We ain't goin nowhere, put your diamonds up [Jay-Z] Standin in my b-boy stance Free, Beans, Memphis where you at n***a? (Right here) snatch Cam and it's a wrap This here rap belong to us, nobody strong as us, it's a fact Hold up I'm just warmin up, gimme a second to get it back Young Chris, Neef what? Oschino and Sparks Next summer's yo' summer, tear this motherf**er up Young is eternal, my young'uns'll burn you "The Blueprint" birthed, n***a I earthed you, you can't be serious Young cause I'm thirty-two, dressed like I'm twenty-two Flow like a 18, do what I wanna do Goin on my 8th ring, got Phil Jackson's Zen Flow is black magic, I'm at it again Rose Gold with black karats, "Horse & Carriage" to spend Like Mason Betha, chasing this cheddar to the end Of the road because the end I'm told is nearer than we know What can I say but live for today, HOV'! [Hook] [Jay-Z] Yeah, "The Blueprint 2" homey, follow the moves You put on two tube socks, you couldn't walk in my shoes I was dealt a bad hand, f** what else could I do But keep somethin up my sleeve that'll help me through But can you believe, everywhere I'm at, models come through Cat-fightin, cat-walkin, it happens often It's true how society don't want me to move Into the penthouse building with spectacular views They're like uhh, "He's a menace he could never be a tenant" I'm like ooh, what's a young n***a to do? I bring the brothers to the building give a feeling that I don't Give a f** we just chillin watchin chandelier ceilings high as f** Old lady, don't blow my high 'specially if you don't know my life, don't make me bring Sharpton in it cause I'm dark-skinneded or Dude with the 'fro and the Rainbow Coalition, I'mma Victim of a single parent household, born in a mousehole Mousetrap, n***as wanna know How so, how Jay get up out that, here, yeah I snatched purses I per-se-vered, yeah I had work, fiends purchased, it was clear I was out there sellin hope for despair, but stop there I swear, I only make good from my mouth to God's ears Had to get out the hood And I can't justify genocide But I was born in the city where the skinny n***as die Born in the city where the skinny n***as ride And as a skinny n***a I had beef with high size [Hook]
