(feat. Memphis Bleek)

[Jay-Z]
Uh-huh uh yeah, gi-gi-geyeah
Time to come up, hold my own weight, defend my crown
Gots to lock it down and when they rush -- part two

[Bleek] Cocaine whiter now
[Jay-Z] Operation is sweet
[Bleek] Whole game tighter now
[Jay-Z] Movin a brick a week
[Bleek] Plus a nigga price is down
[Jay-Z] We them niggaz to see
[Bleek] Time to start the arisin now
[Jay-Z] I don´t know what´s wrong with Bleek

[Jay-Z]
It seems, I´m like Keenan, pickin up on the vibe
that he ain´t too happy, I could just see it in his eyes
I don´t know if it´s the chicks or how we dividin the loot
Time to pay his ass a visit ´fore he decide to get cute
Jumped out like a star with the flavest car
Matchin the gator shirt, softer than my next door neighbors
These young niggaz think I fell out the loop
cause the last time they seen me hoppin, out the Coupe
I hopped out in a suit

[Memphis Bleek]
Look at this nigga Jay frontin tryin to take my shine
I didn´t say this verbally, just had some shit on my mind
Plus I´m puffin like an ounce, more than I used to puff
Takin advice from these niggaz but they ain´t used to stuff
They had me thinkin, "Shit, I´m the one that moved the stuff
while he drive around town in brand new Coupe´s and stufF"
Swear to God, they had me practically hatin his guts
As he approached I spoke, "Jigga whattup?"

[Chorus: Memphis Bleek]

I done came up (uhh) put my life on the line (uhh)
Soaked the game up (yeah) now it´s my time to shine
Time to change up (what?) no more second in line
Nine-eight, these streets is mine
(uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh-uh-huh-uh-huh)

[Jay-Z]
Look at that fake smile he just gave me, it´s breakin my heart
Should I school him or pull the tools out and just break him apart
I felt his hatred it was harsh, ´fore this fakin shit start
I should take him in back of the building and blaze him

[Memphis Bleek]
Uh-oh, this nigga Jay he ain´t slow, he musta picked up on the vibe
and had I, not been so high I woulda been able to hide
Tried to cover up myself, as I gave him a five
Hugged him, as if I loved him

[Jay-Z]
To the naked eye
It woulda seemed we was the closest, but to those that know us
could see that somethin was about to go down

[Memphis Bleek]
Stay focused
I´m tryin to concentrate, but it´s like he´s reading my mind
As if he can see through this fog and all this weed in my mind
Could he see I had plans on, bein the man
Ever since we first spoke and he put that G in my hand
And I gave it back to show him, I was down for the cause
As he approached ("Whattup Bleek?") and I paused..

[Chorus: Memphis Bleek, Jay-Z]

I done came up (uhh) put my life on the line (uhh)
Soaked the game up (yeah) now it´s my time to shine
Time to change up (what?) no more second in line
Nine-eight, these streets is mine

Yeah, you done came up (uhh) put your life on the line (uhh)
Soaked the game up (yeah) now it´s yo´ time to shine
Time to change up, no more second in line
[Bleek] Nine-eight, these streets is mine

[Jay-Z]
Right, yo we wild out in Vegas, styled on haters
Mouthed off at the cops, I done crammed every drop
Copped whips the same color, we tighter than brothers
with different fathers but same mothers, this life don´t love us
So til death do us, I´m never breakin my bond
Nigga we Lex movers, V-12 pushers

[Memphis Bleek]
As I stand
One leg of my pants up, in a stance like, "Man what?"
I know these niggaz are peepin my mind cancer
But in time´s the answer
Seems mind-blowin, this weed and Hennesey
Got my mind goin, trust me nigga, I´m knowin
Chicks used to ignore me, and my aunt sayin I need fifty
not sixty-forty

[Jay-Z]
Oh God, don´t let him control y´all
Your gun is my gun, your clip is my clip baby

[Memphis Bleek]
Your fun is my fun (uh-huh) your bitch is my bitch
Any nigga tryin to harm Jay I´m feelin for you
I ain´t only touchin you, I´m killin your crew

[Jay-Z]
Give it a year, you´ll be sittin on a million or two
records sold nigga, perfect your roll, geyeah

[Chorus: Memphis Bleek]

I done came up (came up) put my life on the line
Soaked the game up (game up) now it´s my time to shine
Time to change up (change up) no more second in line
Nine-eight, these streets is mine (what, geyeah geyeah)

I done came up (came up) put my life on the line
Soaked the game up (game up) now it´s my time to shine
Time to change up (change up) no more second in line
Nine-eight, these streets is mine

[Jay-Z]
Yeah, you done came up (uhh) put your life on the line (uhh)
Soaked the game up (yeah) now it´s yo´ time to shine
Time to change up, no more second in line
Yeah, yeah
Coming of Age Two, brand new
