Lyrics Coming Of Age - Jay-Z
Yeah...
Come
experience...
life
as
we
know
it
As
some
of
you
should
know
it
Place:
Marcy,
Brooklyn
Actions:
well,
y'all
know
the
actions
Uhh,
I
got
this
shorty
on
my
block
always
clocking
my
rocks
He
likes
the
style
and
profile
I
think
he
wanna
mock
He
likes
the
way
I
walk,
he
see
my
money
talking
To
honies
hawking,
I'm
the
hottest
nigga
in
New
York
and
I
see
his
hunger
pains,
I
know
his
blood
boils
He
wanna
run
with
me,
I
know
this
kid'll
be
loyal
I
watched
him
make
a
few
ends,
to
cop
his
little
sneakers
and
gear
Then
it's
just
enough
for
re-up
again
I
see
myself
in
his
eyes,
I
moved
from
Levi's
To
Guess
to
Versace,
now
it's
diamonds
like
Liberace
That's
just
the
natural
cycle
Nobody
want
to
be
like
Michael
where
I'm
from
Just
them
niggas
who
bounced
from
a
gun
We
out
here
trying
to
make
hard
white
into
cohhhhld
green
I
can
help
shorty
blow
out
like
Afro-Sheen
Plus
I
can
relive
my
days
of
youth
which
is
gone
That
little
nigga's
peeps,
it's
time
to
put
him
on
It's
time
to
come
up
(and
hold
my
own
weight,
defend
my
crown)
Gots
to
lock
it
down
and
when
they
rush
(stand
my
ground)
It's
time
to
come
up
(stick
up
my
chest,
and
make
some
loot)
Gots
to
lock
it
down
and
when
they
rush
(stand
on
my
own
two)
I'm
out
here
slinging,
bringing
the
drama,
trying
to
come
up
In
the
game
and
add
a
couple
of
dollar
signs
to
my
name
I'm
out
here
serving,
disturbing
the
peace
Life
could
be
better
like
my
man
reclined
in
plush
leather
seats
He's
selling
weight,
I'm
selling
eight.
balls
Sixteen,
trying
to
graduate
to
pushing
quarters
y'all
I
ain't
going
to
sweat
him
I'm
a
let
him
come
to
me
If
he
give
me
the
nod
then
these
niggas
going
to
see
I'm
tired
of
being
out
here
round
the
clock,
and
breaking
day
And
chasing
crackheads
up
the
block
for
my
pay
I'm
staying
fresh,
so
chickens
check
I'm
trying
to
step
up
to
the
next
level
Pushing
Vettes
through
the
'jects
Diamonds
reflect
from
the
sun
Directly
in
your
equilibrium
And
son,
I'm
waiting
for
my
day
to
come
I
got
the
urge
to
splurge
I
don't
want
a
lifetime
sentence,
just
give
me
the
word
It's
time
to
come
up
(and
hold
my
own
weight,
defend
my
crown)
Gots
to
lock
it
down
and
when
they
rush
(stand
my
ground)
It's
time
to
come
up
(stick
up
my
chest,
and
make
some
loot)
Gots
to
lock
it
down
and
when
they
rush
(stand
on
my
own
two)
Hey
fella
I
been
watching
you
clocking
Who
me?
Holding
down
this
block?
It
ain't
nothing
You
the
man
nigga,
now
stop
fronting
Hahah,
I
like
your
style
(Nah,
I
like
your
style)
Let's
drive
around
awhile!
Cool,
nigga
Here's
a
thou',
A
G?
I
ride
with
you
for
free
I
want
the
long-term
riches
and
bitches
Have
it
all,
now
listen
to
me
You
let
them
other
niggas
get
the
name,
skip
the
fame
Ten
thou'
or
a
hundred
G
keep
your
shit
the
same
(On
the
low?)
Yeah,
the
only
way
to
blow
You
let
your
shit
bubble
quietly
(AND
THEN
YOU
BLOW!)
Kid,
keep
your
cool
The
only
way
to
peep
a
fool
is
let
him
show
his
hand
Then
you
play
your
cards,
then
he
through
dealing
I
understand
Don't
blow
your
dough
on
hotties
The
only
thing
I
got
in
this
world
is
my
word
and
my
nuts
And
won't
break
them
for
nobody
Hah,
I
like
your
résumé,
pick
a
day,
you
can
start
From
now
until
death
do
us
part,
nigga
(Right!)
It's
time
to
come
up
(and
hold
my
own
weight,
defend
my
crown)
Gots
to
lock
it
down
and
when
they
rush
(stand
my
ground)
It's
time
to
come
up
(stick
up
my
chest,
and
make
some
loot)
Gots
to
lock
it
down
and
when
they
rush
(stand
on
my
own
two)
It's

up
