Mike:
Yo
Jay-Z:
Thank you, thank you, thank you
You’re far too kind
Mike/Jay-Z:
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
Chester:
Now what the hell are you waiting for?
Jay-Z:
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, make some noise
Mike:
Get em Jay
Jay-Z:
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.O., rap’s Great from 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? Yep, yep
Grand openin, grand closin
God damn 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 DESE GENERATIONS
Jay-Z:
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
Chester:
Now what the hell are you waiting for?
Jay-Z:
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, make some noise
Chester:
What the hell are you waiting for?
Jay-Z:
[sighs] 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 (yea)
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 smithereeens
Cocksucker take one for your team
And I need you to remember one thing (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
Chester:
I’m tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless
lost under the surface
I don’t know what you’re expecting of me
put under the pressure
of walking in your shoes
Mike/Chester:
[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
Chester:
I’ve become so numb
I can’t feel you there
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
Chester/Jay/Mike:
I’ve become so numb
Can I get an encore, do you want more? [more, more, more]
I’ve become so numb
For one last time I need y’all to roar [One last time I need y’all to roar]

one thing i hate about rap though, is that its about living in the hood, sex, drugs, and whatnot, ever single time. GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and this one isnt. but it still destroys the song because it doesnt talk about what numb does. it talks about rapping. that killed it.
i mean seriously massacred it.
