JAY-Z, Luke Steele - What We Talkin’ About lyrics

Blueprint, trois yeah, yeah

What we talkin' 'bout? Real shit
Or we talkin' 'bout rhymes?
You talkin' 'bout millions or
You talkin' 'bout mine?
What we talkin' 'bout? 'Cause
I ain't got time
For what people be talkin' 'bout all the time
What we talkin' 'bout? Fiction or
We talkin' 'bout fact?
You talkin' 'bout fiction? Hold up
Pardon my back
I'm talkin' 'bout life (Life, life)
And all I hear is, "Oh yeah
He keeps talkin' 'bout crack"
I ain't talkin' 'bout profit
I'm talkin' 'bout pain
I'm talkin' 'bout despair
I'm talkin' 'bout shame
I ain't talkin' 'bout gossip
I ain't talkin' 'bout Game
I ain't talkin' 'bout Jimmy
I ain't talkin' 'bout Dame
I'm talkin' 'bout real shit
Them people playin'
What is you talkin' 'bout? I
Don't know what y'all sayin'
People keep talkin' 'bout, "Hov
Take it back!" i'm doin' better than before
Why would I do that?
Ain't nothin' cool 'bout carryin' a strap
'Bout worryin' your moms and
Buryin' your best cat
I'm talkin' 'bout revenge while
Carryin' his casket all teary-eyed
'bout to take it to a mattress
I'm talkin' 'bout music
I ain't talkin' 'bout rap
You talkin' 'bout who's hot
I ain't talkin' 'bout that
The conversation is changed
Let's yap about that
I don't run rap no more, I run the map

They talk, we live
We see what they say, they say, they say
I see what y'all talkin' about, ha ha
They talk, we did
Who cares what they say, they say, they say?

Chyeah, still they can't focus on them
They be talkin' 'bout me
Talkin' 'bout what I wear
Talkin' 'bout where I be
Yeah, check out my hair, these ain't curls
These is peas peasey head still get paid
I'm combin' through G's
Please, we ain't focused on naps
'Cause I don't run rap no more, I run the map
A small part of the reason
The President is black
I told him I got him when
He hit me on the jack
Talkin' 'bout progress, I ain't lookin' back
You know I run track, try not to get lapped
People keep talkin' 'bout Hov left 'em flat
Tryna rewrite history, let's talk about facts
Dame made millions, even Jaz made some scraps
He could've made more but he
Ain't sign his contract
As far as street guys, we was dealin' crack
That's just how the game goes
I don't owe nobody jack
Grown men, want me to sit 'em on my lap
But I don't have a beard
And Santa Claus ain't black
I repeat, you can't sit on my lap
I don't have a beard
Now get off my sack scream at me!

They talk, we live
We see what they say, they say, they say
They talk, we did
Who cares what they say, they say, they say?
Blueprint 3

And now that that's that
Let's talk about the future
We have just seen the dream
As predicted by Martin Luther
Now you could choose to sit
In front of your computer
Posin' with guns, shootin' YouTube up
Or you could come with me to the White House
Get your suit up
You stuck on being hardcore
I chuck the deuce up peace out Medusa
Welcome to the Blue ah-Print ah tre-piece
Jay-Z your tutor
Tooter of my own horn, beep beep, moo ya
Rass clot when rude boy come
Through with the roof up
So I could see the sky
'Cause everybody talkin' Hov
I think we know why

They talk, we live
We see what they say, they say, they say
They talk, we did
Who cares what they say, they say, they say?
They say they say
