Mike:
Yo
Jay-Z:
Thank you, thank you, thank you
You¢re far too kind
Mike/Jay-Z:
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
Chester:
Now what the hell are you waiting for?
Jay-Z:
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, make some noise
Mike:
Get em Jay
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 Great from 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 fuck you expect? Yep, yep
Grand openin, grand closin
God damn 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 for DESE GENERATIONS
Jay-Z:
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
Chester:
Now what the hell are you waiting for?
Jay-Z:
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, make some noise
Chester:
What the hell are you waiting for?
Jay-Z:
Look what you made me do, look what I made for you
Knew if I paid my dues, how will they pay you
When you first come in the game, they try to play you
Then you drop a couple of hits, look how they wave to you
From Marcy to Madison Square
To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years (yea)
As fate would have it, Jay¢s status appears
to be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye
When I come back like Jordan, wearin the 4-5
It ain¢t to play games witchu
It¢s to aim at you, probably maim you
If I owe you I¢m blowin you to smithereeens
Cocksucker take one for your team
And I need you to remember one thing (one thing)
I came, I saw, I conquered
From record sales, to sold out concerts
So muh¢fucker if you want this encore
I need you to scream, ¢til your lungs get sore
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away now it looks as though they're here to stay oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be there's a shadow hanging over me oh yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say I said something wrong now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play now I need a place to hide away oh I believe in yesterday.
Mm mm mm mm mm ...
