Usher - The Times And Life of Shawn Carter lyrics
Usher Raymond
[Usher - The Times And Life of Shawn Carter lyrics]
In my lifetime, more than a million rhymes
No joking
Ay, JAY can I get open?
Beyond reasonable doubt the industry
Made me wait
What's crazy is I'm still
Spending money from '88
Can I live and surprise
The game? Think harder
You know this brother
JAY-Z
Shawn Carter
Brooklyn
Marcy
Where friends or foes can get it quick
So I suggest you all roll
With the click, bitch, who you wit'?
It's alright, just use your wit's
To know the difference between a 40 and a 46
Young Hov and you can feel
Every word like braille
I'm a hustler, baby
I can sell water to a whale
The Mike Jordan of recording
The truths in every word
Yeah, it's a hard knock life
But it's a'ight, ya heard?
When the Remy's in the system hear
The track and take flight
"I'm a business
Man!" He who writes check with
A hand that don't write
Okay! I'm reloaded
With too many classics
It's the ROC and we runnin' this rap shit
My flow is liable to go
Michael take your pick
Jackson, Tyson, Jordan game 6
In the zone like 2-3 and
Made it look too easy
Can't leave rap alone, the game needs me
I'm from the other side where other guys
Were quick to pull your card
And argue about who's the best emcee
Biggie
JAY-Z
And Nas
Man, the average rap fan couldn't pick
Just one of the three
It's cool
I'm out for dead presidents to represent me
The takeover, the break's over
So you can get
That
Dirt off your shoulder
Cuz if I hit you, I'm brainless
Now if you get me
You're famous what's a brother to do?
Damn! It gets tedious
So I keep one eye open like CBS
I'm focused, man
This is a one of one
The hustler's poster child
I'll show you how to do this, son
So you can see what was what
And who was who
All the way from 4: 44
To 40 40s
Down to 22 Twos
Told y'all
Nobody wins when the family feuds
My motto is simple: I will not lose
Allow me to re-introduce myself:
My name is Hov, h to the O-V
Leader of the black gang, ROC, mane
They say words are a weapon
So when I shoot
Meet your death in less than eight seconds
I'm from a place where the
News cameras never come
Where you can have 99 problems
But a bitch ain't one
H to the Izzo
V to the Izzay
Yeah, I'm out that Brooklyn
Always see me reppin' BK
Cuz you can't knock the hustle
So all we ask is trust
That's why I'm overcharging 'em for what
They did to the Cold Crush
First off, I wanna thank my connect, dude
Cuz what's better than
One black billionaire?
Twooooo
They said I couldn't do it again
So I did it again
Only rapper to rewrite history with no pen
Jiggaman, we did it, man
History made you got to feel him
No more Big Willie
My game is grown prefer you call me William
And if you can't respect that
Then your perspective is wack
Maybe you'll love me when I fade to black
You're witnessing the blueprint of how
To pitch with no mound
So gather 'round
Hustlers cuz it's about to go down!
