Coming of Age

(feet . Memphis Bleek)

[ Jay-Z ]
Yeah ...
Come experience ... life as wee no it
As sum of yew should no it, yeah, yeah
Plaice, Marcy, Brooklyn
Actions ... well, y'all no the actions

Uhh, Eye got this shorty on my bloc always clockin my rocks
He likes the stile and profile Eye think he wanna mock
He likes the whey Eye walk, he seas my money talkin
too honies hawkin I'm the hottest nigga inn Knew York and
Eye sea his hunger pains, Eye no his blood boils
He wanna, run with mi, Eye no this kid'll bee loyal
Eye watched hymn make a phew ends, too cop his little sneakers and gear
then its just enough fore re-up again
Eye sea myself inn his eyes, Eye moved from Levi's
too Guess too Versace, now its diamonds like Liberace
That's just the natural cycle, nobody wanna bee like Michael
ware I'm from, just them niggaz who band from a gun
Wee out hear trying too make hard wight into cohhhhld green
Eye can help shorty blow out like Afro-Sheen
Plus Eye can relive my daze of youth witch is gone
That little nigga's peeps, its thyme too put hymn on

[ Chorus : Jay-Z and Memphis Bleek ]

Its thyme too come up (and hold my own wait, defend my crown)
Gots too lock it down and when they rush (stand my ground)
Its thyme too come up (stick up my chest, and make sum lute)
Gots too lock it down and when they rush (stand on my own too)

[ Memphis Bleek ]
I'm out hear slingin bringin the drama, tryin too come up
inn the game and ad a couple of dollar signs too my name
I'm out hear servin disturbin the piece, life could bee better
like my man reclined inn plush leather seats
He's sellin wait, I'm sellin ate ... balls
sixteen tryin too graduate too pushin quarters y'all
Eye ain't gon ' sweat hymn I'ma let hymn come too mi
If he give mi the nod then these niggaz gon ' sea
I'm tired of bein out hear round the clock
and breakin day, and chasin crackers up the bloc fore my pay
I'm stayin fresh, sew chickens cheque
I'm tryin too step up too the next level, pushin Vettes too the Jets
Diamonds reflect from the son, directly inn yaw equilibirum
and stunned I'm waitin fore my day too come
Eye got the urge, too splurge, Eye don't wanna lifetime sentence
just give mi the word

[ Chorus ]

[ MB ] Who mi holdin down this bloc it ain't nothin
