[Jay-Z] 
 Yeah, un huh, watch this why'all, come on,watch this why'all, Jigga 
 Roc-a-fella ya'll, uhhhh, come on yea ! 
 [Kid Capri} 
 It's Kid Capri and Jay-Z, It's Kid Capri and Jay-Z 
 Cause I'm Like That yo ! Cause I'm like that yo ! 
 Verse One: Jay-Z 
 As a young and dumb man, gun in the waist 
 Sold crack to those who couldn't take the pain 
 And had to numb it with baste 
 Couldn't drink the henny straight, I needed somethin to chase 
 I needed something to chase 
 Nowadays I throw shots back,leavin nothin to waste 
 Life is like a treadmill, niggas runnin in place 
 Gettin nowhere fast, a whole year done past 
 I vowed to never stop winin, 'til the earth stop spinnin 
 Rock hot lenin, cop hot cars and hot women 
 If it's not him then you got it confused, why'all not remembering, 
 My motto is simply I will not lose, abide by the block rules, 
 I buy my glock used, wit bodies on it, let me know anybody want it ? 
 I'm raised, illrational, way misunderstood, 
 If you ain't live like I live then run with the hood 
 I done what i could, to come up with this paper 'til this day still 
 Run with the hood, guess it's part of my nature, if hell awaits ya ? 
 Nigga I'm coming with the razors, still flashin ya shit 
 Try to pass me in a six, tight classy on the wrist 
 Every bit of 30 karats, this is not a game 
 This isn't why I came, make these words find a spot on your brain 
 And burn, then I recycle my life 
 I shall return 
 Chorus: Female voice and Jay- Z 
 [Woman] 
 How tight is your flow ? 
 [Jay-Z] 
 Cause I'm like that yo ! 
 [Woman] 
 How right is your dough ? 
 [Jay-Z] 
 Cause I'm like that yo ! 
 [Woman] 
 How white is your blow ? 
 [Jay-Z] 
 Cause I'm like that yo ! 
 [Woman] 
 Only writers you know 
 [Jay-Z] 
 Cause I'm like that 
 Verse 2: Jay-Z 
 I'm a hop, skip, a jump, from rippin the pump 
 Spittin a couple of curse words, and hittin you chump 
 Shit, I get digits in lumps, I'm a motherfucking problem is this what you want 
 ? 
 Overachiever, I love chicks that puff chiva, 
 And reefer paper, I hate the one's that blow up ya beeper 
 Cause I, go in ya deeper, I only bone divas 
 Inpregnate the world when I "cum" through your speakers [ha ha] 
 F*ck hot my records got the fever 
 Niggas kick dirt, get ya whole block sweeped up 
 I creep up when the beef heats up, caught him with his feet up 
 And shoes off, bout to snooze off 
 Hatin, cause you can't turn the booze off 
 You dudes is too soft, when I f*ck with you all 
 I might bark your ex, and spit at the locks 
 But, other than that I ain't even fucking with cats 
 Just me tied B.I., thug it like that, me,dame and biggs 
 What's fuckin with that ? 
 why'all can never diss Jigga, get nothing for that 
 Other then a couple slugs in ya back,[huh huh] 
 Rappers why'all runnin around, like I won't gun ya down 
 Last nigga that fronted, two spun him around 
 Lord, except this offer here's somethin for your crown 
 I admit no malice, I just met his challenge, In one 
 Chorus : Repeat 3x 
 [Jay-Z]: Repeat 2x til fade 
 Girls and guns, all i want 
 stock exchange, rocks and thangs
