|
Yeah 3 in the morning on the Westside highway, top down baby,
|
F-ck y’all
|
The motivation for me was them telling me what I couldn’t be,
|
Oh well,
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
This a special dedication,
|
I wanna thank you for the fuel,
|
No really thank you,
|
|
I felt so inspired by what my teacher said,
|
Said I'd either be dead or be a reefer head,
|
Now sure if thats how adults should speak ta kids,
|
Especially when the only thing I did was speak in class,
|
I teach his ass,
|
Even betters what my uncle did,
|
I pop my demo tape in start to beat my head,
|
Peaked out my eye, see if he was beating his,
|
He might as well say beat it kid, he’s on the list,
|
Its like Im searching for kicks like a sneaker head,
|
He gon keep pushing me until I reach the ledge,
|
And when I reach the ledge I'll tell em all to eat a d-ck,
|
Take a leap of faith and let my eagle wings spread,
|
Spread spread.
|
|
[Pharrell - Chorus]
|
Motivation for me was them telling me what I could not be,
|
Oh well,
|
I’m so ambitious,
|
I might hit two sisters,
|
Hey im on a mission
|
No matter what the conditions,
|
Forget the personal issues
|
When you been what I been through,
|
Hey if you believe it,
|
Then you could conceive it.
|

[Jay-Z]
|
I had to lace up my boots even harder,
|
Father is too far away to father,
|
Further-more of the kids either smoke reefer,
|
Or either move white, theres few writers in my cipher,
|
So they made lighter, my type a dreams seem dumb
|
They said wise up, how many guys a you see making it from here,
|
The world don’t like us, is that not clear, alright,
|
But I'm different, I can’t base what I'm gonna be off a what everybody isn’t,
|
They don’t listen, just whispering behind my back,
|
No vision, lack of ambition,
|
So wack!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Had a couple of meetings no offers yet,
|
Maybe I aint good enough for these offices,
|
Back to the drawing board ducking officers,
|
It’s all good cos the streets is A&R’ing this,
|
So with or without any of your involvement,
|
Coming for all of this, respect my conglomerate,
|
I went from pauper to the President,
|
Every deal I ever made set precedent,
|
N-ggas thought I'd fall without old buddy,
|
Oh buddy, what I do is make more money,
|
Dear Teacher, your probably somewhere near a speaker,
|
I’m balling outta control, can you hear my sneakers,
|
F-ck y’all,
|
|
[Chorus]
