[unknown singing]

That old fashioned word.. it's a word called LOVE!

Called looooove, called looo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-ove



[Jay-Z]

Oh!  This must be the way the nigga 'Pac felt when he made

"Me Against the World," "All Eyez on Me"

Y'all niggaz got me feelin like all eyes on me, me against the world

Mmm, y'all got me on my shit

Thought niggaz would appreciate what I did to this game

Bein that, I'm flesh of your flesh, blood of your blood

Come from the same hood you come from

We share basically the same stories

Thought niggaz would appreciate what I came and did

since ninety-six, every year

Somethin must be seriously wrong with the world

I know y'all ain't hatin



(Some people hate!) Don't tell me niggaz is hatin

(Some people hate!) Nah.. you know what I think?

(Some people hate!) I think..

(I think they've lost their minds) Think y'all lost your mind

Y'all got me on my shit



Raw rough and rugged, when addressin the mass public

My attitude is fuck it cause motherfuckers love it

Got a, chip on my shoulder the size of the Golden Nugget in Vegas

And fuck bein famous, I came to get the butters

I came from the gutter, my success in this game

is sort of like "Pro-jectic Justice," a payment for brushes

with police officers, a peace offering

From the Gods for the streets I was tossed in

'Til I'm deceased in a coffin

I'ma be a beast on these beats, releasin early and often

Please, your disdain for the brothers ain't gon' change the numbers

It's the strengthenin of chain among us

Please, we ain't afraid of none of yas, who want it with us?

Ain't nuttin changed since the ninety-six summers, c'mon



(Some people hate!) Jeah, uh, yeah

(Some people hate!) Uh, uhh, uhh

(Some people hate!) Yeah.. you know what I think?

(I think they've lost their minds) They say success breeds envy



I guess it's just the penalty of leadership

I guess I'm what niggaz wanna be and shit

Or niggaz just bored, wanna be in shit

'Fore they get to rappin, start believin it

Think they Ali and shit

I roll with the punches so I survive

I bob and weave, move my feet from side to side

I'm back, stronger than ever, surprise surprise

They try to take me out the game, but I's alive

It's like a old negro spiritual, but I mastered Tobey

With a splash of Monster Kody, shoot faster than Kobe, nigga

You bastards know me, the one and only

Big homey from the Roc, I think you pastors lonely

You need Jesus in your life.. it's either that

or y'all gon' make me put the double Desert Eagles in your life, nigga!



(Some people hate!) I know niggaz are hatin man, let me find out

(Some people hate!)

Jealousy's a weak emotion, y'all gotta overcome that man

(Some people kill their brothers)

C'mon man be stronger than that.. you know what I think?

(I think they've lost their minds) You'll be aight though



Au contraire nigga, I am here cause I earned the shit

By ridin out, when niggaz had learner's permit

We bring the knives out, or we let them burners spit

I bring them pies out if niggaz wanna burn the strip

Bring your rides out, bring your buggy eyes out, turn your 6

I laid back in the (?)

Nigga this the payback, I know you bitch niggaz from way back

Niggaz wanna clown but the pound it don't play dat

Get yourself found, drowned, where the lake at

Run up on 'em +Notoriously+, "Take that!" (take that)

And then we comin where your wake at

Eight maniac cats strapped with gats, you can hate that

Face facts, fake rap cats

can't take back what I took back to the Brook', look



(Some people hate!)

(Some people hate!)

(Some people kill their brothers)

(I think they've lost their minds)

(And I'm hung up.. ohh..)
