[Notorious B.I.G. interview]
Iīm just, tryin to stay above water yīknow
Just stay busy, stay workin
Puff told me like, the key to this joint
The key to staying, on top of things
is treat everything like itīs your first project, knahmsayin?
Like itīs your first day like back when you was an intern
Like, thatīs how you try to treat things like, just stay hungry
[Verse One: Jay-Z]
Uhh, uhh, yes, yes
Yīall wanna know, why he donīt stop
Yīall wanna know, why he donīt flop
Let me tell you pe-eople why
Came from the bottom of the block I
When I was born, it was sworn, I was never gonī be shit
Had to pull the opposite out this bitch
Had to get my ri-ide on
Eyes on the prize, Shawn knew I had to
Had to had to get these chips
Had to make moves like Olajuwon
Started out sellin dimes and nicks
Graduated to a brick
No exaggeration, my infatuation with the strip
Legendary like a schoolboy
Crushin merely nearly every every chick
Heavy shit - thatīs how schoolboy got whipped
And got left on some "Just , Myself and I"
On some Trugoy shit
Had your boys threw place up, to a place of no return
Had to play with fire and get burned
Only way the boy ever gonī learn
Had to lay way in the cut, ītil I finally got my turn
Now Iīm on top in the spot that I earned
[Chorus]
Itīs my life - itīs my pain and my struggle
The song that I sing to you itīs my ev-ery-thing
Treat my first like my last, and my last like my first
And my thirst is the same as - when I came
Itīs my joy and my tears and the laughter it brings to me
Itīs my ev-ery-thing
[Verse Two: Jay-Z]
Like I never rode in a limo
Like I just dropped flows to a demo
Like itīs ninety-two again and
And I got Oīs in the rental
Back in the Stuī again, no probī livin was a whole lot simpler
When you think back, you thought that
you would never make it this far, then you
take advantage of the luck you handed
Or the talent, you been given
Ainīt no, half steppin, ainīt no, no slippin
Ainīt no different from a block thatīs hidden
Gotta get it while the gettingīs good
Gotta strike while the ironīs hot, īfore you stop
Then you gotta bid it, good riddance
Goodbye, this is my second major breakup
My first was, with a pager
With a hooptie, a cookpot, and the GAME
This oneīs with the stool, with the stage, with the fortune
Maybe not the fortune, but certainly the FAME
[Chorus]
Itīs my life - my pain and my struggle
The song that I sing to you itīs my ev-ery-thing
Treat my first like my last, and my last like my first
And my thirst is the same as - when I came
Itīs my joy and my tears and my laughter it brings to me
Itīs my ev-ery-thing
Treat my first like my last, and my last like my first
And my thirst like the first song I sang
[Outro: Jay-Z]
Woo! Itīs like the blues - we gonī ride out on this one
Ta-tah, be-hah
Yo Hah, īmember you was makin them dashes
