JAY-Z - Get My Shit Off lyrics

Uh this beat is like you just
Walking in place like this
Let me try to get through this here

Y'all wanna take my life
Then come and get it
I'm so committed to street life
Sometimes I don't sleep nights
If y'all ain't ready to die
My advice would be to
Back up and live, 'cause the fact of this is
I keep 44s in the sky, mind on my money
Nigga, I'm so for real, I hope
You're not finding this funny, nah
Live everyday like my last, fast money
Fast cars, fast temper
Draw down faster than y'all
I got to get my shit off, I came from nothin'
But pop's dick, mom's egg
Hungry like a hostage
With every step that I take


I use my hood sense
Study my footprints, learn from my mistakes
I'm much braver than most
Got the heart of a ghost
I was born dead, baby, my life is all gravy
Reporting live from the ROC, I rep for my set
Till the date of my death
I will die for my block

I gotta get my shit off (get off, get off)
Get off my ass and get about that cash
I gotta get my shit off (get off, get off)
Live everyday like my last
Like death's approaching fast
Gotta get my shit off
(shit off! get off, get off)
Get off my ass and get about my cash
Gotta get my shit off
(shit off! shit off! shit off)
Live everyday like my last

If there was heaven above us
I was living in hell
My neighborhood was the roughest
I never complained
I just adjusted my game, pushed 20s of 'caine
Bush and Reagan couldn't stop me from makin'
I wish I could dream about being a lawyer
But I had dealers in my hallway
Death around the corner
Couldn't tell right from wrong
Pimps will spoil you
Give you dollars for errands
When nobody was carin'
I got to get my shit off
It rang true every time i heard it or every
Time somebody got murdered
We pour liquor on the curb
Until the cement stain
I cried enough tears from my
Eyes to equal 3-inch rain
Motherfuckers, I deserve it when I
Be in the Range
I copped them uncut stones that
Be freezing the chain
I done been through enough shit to
Make you pee in your pants
Man, I'm sorry if we ain't seeing the same
I seen it rain

I gotta get my shit off (get off, get off)
Get off my ass and get about that cash
I gotta get my shit off (get off, get off)
Live everyday like my last
Like death's approaching fast
Gotta get my shit off
(shit off! get off, get off)
Get off my ass and get about my cash
Gotta get my shit off
(shit off! shit off! shit off)
Live everyday like my last

That's why I give you my up
And downs, my pain, my passion, my pleasure
My good and bad times, niggas, my whatever
My hopes and dreams, blood, tears and sweat
My version of R kelly
This is a nigga's threat
My life is an open book, nigga
I hope you took from it
Whatever works for you
I was put on this earth to move
Mountains, I think, I'm almost sure
But I've been smoking a lot lately
Not counting my drinks
I got to get my shit off
For that I'm certain
That's why it's less than 8 months
I am back to work nigga, I'm clear
I done seen my cupboards bare
Heard money mentioned in my mother's prayer
Had nights my stomach filled up
With nothing but air
Got 10 dollars to eat for 4 of us to share
That's why Hov' act like that, quick to snap
MAC-11 ready, I ain't going back

I gotta get my shit off (get off, get off)
Get off my ass and get about that cash
I gotta get my shit off (get off, get off)
Live everyday like my last
Like death's approaching fast
Gotta get my shit off
(shit off! get off, get off)
Get off my ass and get about my cash
Gotta get my shit off
(shit off! shit off! shit off)
Live everyday like my last
