Now can I get an encore, do you want more? Cookin' raw with the Brooklyn boy So for one last time, I need y'all to roar
Now what the hell are you waitin' for? After me, there shall be no more So for one last time, nigga, make some noise Get 'em, Jay
Who you know fresher than Hov'? Riddle me that The rest of y'all know where I'm lyrically at Can't none of y'all, mirror me back Yeah, hearin' me rap is like hearin' G rap in his prime
I'm young H. Ov, rap's Grateful Dead Back to take over the globe, now break bread I'm in Boeing jets, Global Express Out the country but the blueberry still connect
On the low but the yacht got a triple deck But when you Young, what the fuck you expect? Grand openin', grand closin' Goddamn, your man Hov' cracked the can open again
Who you gon' find doper than him with no pen? Just draw off inspiration Soon you gon' see you can't replace him With cheap imitations for these generations
Now can I get an encore, do you want more? Cookin' raw with the Brooklyn boy So for one last time, I need y'all to roar
Now what the hell are you waitin' for? After me, there shall be no more So for one last time, nigga, make some noise What the hell are you waitin' for?
Look what you made me do, look what I made for you Knew if I paid my dues, how will they pay you? When you first come in the game, they try to play you Then you drop a couple of hits, look how they wave to you
From Marcy to Madison Square To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years As fate would have it, Jay's status appears To be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye
When I come back like Jordan, wearin' the 4-5 It ain't to play games witchu It's to aim at you, probably maim you If I owe you, I'm blowin' you to smithereens Cocksucker, take one for your team An' I need you to remember one thing
I came, I saw, I conquered From record sales to sold out concerts So muh'fucker, if you want this encore I need you to scream 'til your lungs get sore
I'm tired of bein' what you want me to be Feelin' so faithless, lost under the surface Don't know what you're expecting of me Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow Every step that I take is another mistake to you Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow And every second I waste is more than I can take
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there I've become so tired, so much more aware I'm becoming this, all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you
I've become so numb Can I get an encore, do you want more? I've become so numb So for one last time, I need y'all to roar One last time, I need y'all to roar
