my 1st song

Singer:jay-z

i'm just

tryin to stay above water y'know

just stay busy

stay workin

puff told me like

the key to this joint

the key to staying

on top of things

is treat everything like it's your first project

knahmsayin?

like it's your first day like back when you was an intern

like

that's how you try to treat things like

just stay hungry

uhh

uhh

yes

yes

y'all wanna know

why he don't stop

y'all wanna know

why he don't flop

let me tell you pe-eople why

came from the bottom of the block i

when i was born

it was sworn

i was never gon' be shit

had to pull the opposite out this bitch

had to get my ri-ide on

eyes on the prize

shawn knew i had to

had to had to get these chips

had to make moves like olajuwon

started out sellin dimes and nicks

graduated to a brick

no exaggeration

my infatuation with the strip

legendary like a schoolboy

crushin merely nearly every every chick

heavy shit - that's how schoolboy got whipped

and got left on some just +me
