| | [Jay-Zīs Mom:]
Sean Carter was born December 4th
Weighing in at 10 pounds 8 ounces
He was the last of my 4 children
The only one who didnīt give me any pain when I gave birth to him
And thatīs how I knew that he was a special child
[Jay-Z Verse 1]
They say "they never really miss you til you dead or you gone"
So on that note iīm leaving after the song
So you ainīt gotta feel no way about Jay so long
Atleast let me tell you why iīm this way, Hold on
I was conceived by Gloria Carter and Adaness Revees
Who made love under the Siccamore tree
Which makes me
A more sicker emcee my momma would claim
At 10 pounds when I was born I didnīt give her no pain
Although through the years I gave her her fair share
I gave her her first real scare
I made it from birth when I got here
She knows my purpose wasnīt purpose
I ainīt perfect I care
But I feel worthless cause my shirts wasnīt matchin my gear
Now iīm just scratchin the surface cause whatīs burried under there
Was a kid torn apart once his pop disappeared
I went to school got good grades could behave when I wanted
But I had demons deep inside that would raise when confronted
Hold on
[Jay-Zīs Mom:]
Shawn was a very shy child growing up
He was into sports
And a funny story is
At 4 he taught hisself how to ride a bike
A two wheeler at that
Isnīt that special?
But, I noticed a change in him when me and my husband broke up
[Jay-Z Verse 2]
Now all the teachers couldnīt reach me
And my momma couldnīt beat me
Hard enough to match the pain of my pops not seeing me, SO
With that distain in my membrain
Got on my pimp game
Fuck the world my defense came
Then Dahaven introuced me to the game
Spanish Jose introduced me to cane
Iīm a hustler now
My gear is in and iīm in the in crowd
And all the wavey light skinned girls is lovin me now
My self esteem went through the roof man I got my swag
Got a volvo from this girl when her man got bagged
Plus I hit my momma with cash from a show that I had
Supposedly knowin nobody paid Jaz wack ass
Iīm geting ahead of myself, by the way, I could rap
That came second to me movin this crack
Gimme a second I swear
I will say about my rap career
Til 96 came niggas iīm here
Good-bye
[Jay-Zīs Mom:]
Shawn use to be in the kitchen
Beating on the table and rapping
And um, until the wee hours of the morning
And then I bought him a boom box
And his sisters and brothers said he would drive them nuts
But that was my way to keep him close to me and out of trouble
[Jay-Z Verse 3]
Good-bye to the game all the spoils, the adreneline rush
Your blood boils you in a spot knowing cops could rush
And you in a drop your so easy to touch
No two days are alike
Except the first and fifteenth pretty much
And "trust" is a word you seldom hear from us
Hustlers we donīt sleep we rest one eye up
And the drought to find a man when the well dries up
You learn to work the water without workin thirst til die YUP
And niggas get tied up for product
And little brothers ring fingers get cut up
To show mothers they really got em
And this was the stress I live with til I decided
To try this rap shit for a livin
I Pray iīm forgiven
For every bad decision I made
Every sister I played
Cause iīm still paranoid to this day
And itīs nobody fault I made the decisions I made
This is the life I chose or rather the life that chose me
If you canīt respect that your whole perspective is wack
Maybe youīll love me when I fade to black
If you canīt respect that your whole perspective is wack
Maybe youīll love me when I fade to black
[repeat 2 more times to fade]
