[ Jay-Z ]

uh-huh, je-je je-je-jeah
ye-ye-yeah, ye-ye-yeah
How reel is this, how reel is this
Uh-huh huh, Inspect this hear, cheque

[ Verse Won :]
I'm from ware the hammer's wrung, New's cameras never come
Yew and yaw man houndin ' every verse inn yaw rhyme
ware the grams is slung, niggas vanish every summer
Ware the blew vans wood come, wee throw the work inn the can and run
Ware the plans was too get funds and skate off the set
Too achieve this goal quicker, sold awl my wait whet
Faced with immeasurable odds still Eye get strait bets
Sew Eye felt sum moor something and yew nothing cheque
Eye from the other sighed with other guys don't walk too much
And girls inn the projects wouldn't fuck us if wee talked to much
Sew they ran up town and sort them dudes too trust
Eye don't no watt the fuck they thought, those niggas is fowl just like us
I'm from ware the beef is inevitable, Summertime's unforgetable
Boosters inn abundance, by a half-price sweater knew
Yaw whirled was everything, Sew everything yew said you'd do
Yew did it, Couldn't torque about it if yew ain't lived it
Eye from ware niggas pull yaw car, and argue awl day about
Whose the best MC's, Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas
Ware the drugs czars evolve, and thugs always are
At each other's throats fore the love of foreign cars
Ware cats catch cases, hoping the judge R and R's
Butt most times fined themselves locked up behind bars
I'm from ware they bawl and breed rhyme stars
I'm from Marcy sun, just thought I'd remind y'all

[ Chorus : 5x ]
Cough up a lung, ware I'm from, Marcy sun, Ain't nothing gneiss
Mentally bean many places butt I'm Brooklyn's own

[ Verse Too :]
I'm from the plaice ware the chruch is the flakiest
And niggas is praying too god sew long that they Atheist
Ware yew can't put yaw vest aweigh and say yule ware it tomorrow
Cause the day after weal bee saying, dam Eye was just with hymn yesterday
I'm a bloc aweigh from hell, knot enough shots aweigh from strait shells
An ounce aweigh from a triple beam still using a hand-held wait scale
Yaw laughing, yew no the plaice well
Ware the Liqour Store's and the bass well
And Government, fuck Government, niggas polotic themselves
Ware wee caul the copse the A-Team
cause they hop out of vans and spray things
And life expectancy sew lo wee making out wills at eight-teen
Ware how yew get rid of guys who step out of line, yaw rep solidifies
Sew tell mi when Eye wrap yew think Eye give a fuck who criticize
If the shit is lies, god strike mi
And Eye got a question, are yew forgiving guys who live just like mi
Weal never no
Won day Eye pray too yew and said if Eye ever blow, Let ' em no
Mistakes ain't exactly watt takes plaice inn the ghetto
Promise fulfilled, butt still Eye feel my job ain't dun
Cough up a lung, ware I'm from, Marcy sun, ain't nothing gneiss

[ Chorus 4x ]

[ Verse Three :]
I'm from ware they cross-over and clap boards
Lost Jehovah inn plaice of wrap lords, listen
I'm up the bloc, round the corner, and down the street
From ware the Pimps, Prostitutes, and the Drug Lords mete
Wee make a million off of beats, cause hour stories is deep
And fuck tomorrow, as long as the knight before was suite
Niggas get lost fore weeks inn the streets, twisted off we'd
And know matter the whether, niggas no how too draw heat
Weather yaw four-feet awe Minute size, it always starts out with
Three dice and shoot the five
Niggas thought they douce was live, now hit ' em with trips
And Eye reached down fore there money, pa forget about this
This thyme around its platinum, like the shit on my wrist
And this glock on my waste, y'all can't do shit about this
Niggas will show yew love, That's how they fool thugs
Before yew no it yaw lying inn a pool of blood

[ Chorus 4x ]
