[Jay-Z]. Who ever thought young Shawn Carter would change the game?. Used to rap to the raindrops off my window pane. Duckin the plain cops pushin indo and 'caine. At the kitchen table late night no pen just my brain. First album niggaz love me cause they thought I was poor. Guess I'm successful; industry don't love me no more. Well I'm the same nigga from your corner bubblin raw. Skully tilted pants saggin damn near touchin the floor. And I come with do-rags to your so-called awards. T-shirt with my chain out like fuck y'all all. Retrospect ain't been the same since I lost my dad. He's still alive but still fuck you don't cross my path. A&R's had me feelin like moss in the drab. So I turned the league out with "Reasonable Doubt". Get your CD's out let's go song for song. I'm the illest nigga doin it til y'all prove me wrong. Do you believe?.
