Jay-Z | Lyrics | Coming of Age (Da Sequel)

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

Cocaine whiter now
Operation is sweet
Whole games tighter now
Movin' a brick a week
Plus a nigga price is down
We them niggaz to see
Time to start the arisin' now
I don't know what's wrong with bleek

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

Look at this nigga Jay frontin tryin to take my shine
I didn't say this verbally, just had some s*** 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', "S***, 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?"

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

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' s*** start
I should take him in back of the building and blaze him
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

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
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 and I paused

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

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

Right, yo we wild out in Vegas, styled on haters
Mouthed off at the cops, outta Cranberry Drops
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

As I stand
One leg of my pants up, in a stance like, "And what?"
I know these niggaz is feedin' my mind cancer
But at times the answer
Seems mindblowin', 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"

Oh God, don't let him control y'all
Your gun is my gun, your clip is my clip baby
Your fun is my fun, your b**** is my b****
Any nigga tryin' to harm Jay, I'm feelin' for you
I ain't only touchin' you, I'm killin' your crew
Give it a year, you'll be sittin' on a million or two
Records sold nigga, perfect your roll, geyeah

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

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

I done came up put my life on the line
Soaked the game up now it's my time to shine
Time to change up no more second in line

Yeah, yeah
Coming of age Two, brand new
