Cracks in my palm, watchin' the long arm o' the law So you know I seen it all before I seen hoop dreams deflate like a true fiend's weight To try and to fail, the two things I hate Succeed in this rap game, the two things is great H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A What else can I say about dude, I gets bizzay CHORUS (girls singing) H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A...

I keep you fresher than the next chick
No need for you to ever sweat the next chick With speed, I make the best chick see the exit, indeed You gotta know you're thoroughly respected by me You get the keys to the Lexus, no driver Gotcha own 2001, to ride it Keep your ass tighter than Versace, that's why You gotta watch your friends, you got to watch me, conniving Yeah, the first chance to crack the bank, they try me All they get is 50 cent franks and papayas From the village to the tele, time to kill it on your belly No question, I got more black chicks between my sheets than essence They say sex is a weapon, so when I shoot Meet your death in less than 8 seconds Still poundin' in my after life, laugin', my thing is tight Let me hear ya'll Ain't no nigga like the one I got Sleeps around but he gives me a lot Friends they tell me I should leave you alone Tell the freaks to find a man of there own, man a they own |

[Chorus] I can't see it comin down my eyes So I gotta make the song cry I can't see it comin down my eyes So I gotta make the song cry Yeah I seen 'em comin down your eyes But I gotta make the song cry I can't see it comin down my eyes So I gotta make the song cry [Jay-Z] A face of stone, was shocked on the other end of the phone Word back home is that you had a special friend So what was oh so special then? You have given away without gettin at me That's your fault, how many times you forgiven me? How was I to know that you was plain sick of me? I know the way a nigga livin was whack But you don't get a nigga back like that! Shit I'm a man with pride, you don't do shit like that You don't just pick up and leave and leave me sick like that You don't throw away what we had, just like that I was just fuckin them girls, I was gon' get right back They say you can't turn a bad girl good But once a good girl's goin bad, she's gone forever.. And more forever Shit I gotta live with the fact I did you wrong forever [Chorus] I can't see 'em comin down my eyes So I gotta make the song cry I can't see 'em comin down my eyes So I gotta let the song cry I know I seen 'em comin down your eyes But I gotta make the song cry I can't see 'em comin down my eyes So I gotta make the song cry [Jay-Z] It's fucked up girl..
