Roc-A-Fella 1st AND
Jay Lupe Yeah uhh
And so it seems
that I'm sewing jeans
And 1st and 15
is just a sewing machine
So I cut the pattern and I
sew in seams
And button in this hustling
then publically I'm Buddy Lee
There's no busting them and
cuffing them is like
ushering in the regime they
want me to make Prince pants
But I withstand
I ain't gotten into that
A little big in the waist
two-pocket on the back
Call them Nu-vi's
O.G.'s covered in blue dye
Give them the game
that's like giving chocolate
to the fat
Look how you think I got here
That's the same game that came
through where I lived as a kid
in the bad luck truck
and threw boxes off the back
Made me a ripper
deliver like river
Content a little more thicker
slicker Yeah and they said
oil and water don't mix
Now they all down at the
beach washing off the fish
Was Blackbeard till I brought
the Roc into your ships YEAH
It's my life my life
everything I do I do for you
I do it all for you
everything I say you know
it's the truth
I'll say it is the truth
I'll take all the pressure off
of you
Take pressure off of you
I'll take YEAH
the pressure off of you
Uhh it's hella proper proper
Cause it sag so low
you can see boxer like a boxer's
That's the way that the
Family's pants worn
Then we slide
and try and put them on
The stones in the pocket'll drag
you down to Davy Jones locker
Beware if you wanna
Roc the Knickerbocker
Other nigga from the block what
they was sellin O's
like Wheel of Fortune
of imported cocaine
just to feel important
it was +Do or Die+
They was tired of being
Po' Pimps now for sure
That was just a product of
my common sense
I guess I was just guessing
like the consonants
Momma said beware of
what the devil do
Tell them that your soul's not
for sale like the W's
So go ahead and pirate
the highest
cannons make you leak like
pirated my shhh
It's no shhh
it's just shhh like quiet
And big homey's
out of retirement
It's my life my life
everything I do I do for you
I do it all for you
everything I say you know
it's the truth
I'll say it is the truth
I'll take all the pressure off
of you
Take pressure off of you
Uhh Young uhh
I'll take the pressure off
of you
So the pen is mightier
than the sword my lord
My first picture was a line-up
now I'm on the Forbes
And I still remain the artiste
through thees all
If you force my hand
I'll be forced to draw
If the war calls for war halls
Hope you got enough space
on your hall's walls
I make niggaz murals
then escape the bureau's
investigation out
in Europe on vacation
I'm back for these puppies
with the pound boy
Blaow Here's a round boy
blaow blaow down boy
Sound boy you don't wanna
soundclash loud noise
leave niggaz paranoid
if not paralyzed
Which means you can't walk
in my shoes
Too much green you can't talk
in my hue
Extend the team

I'm through
It's my life my life

of you
