numb / encore

Singer:jay-z

thank you

thank you

thank you

you're far too kind

now can i get an encore

do you want more

cookin raw with the brooklyn boy

so for one last time i need y'all to roar

now what the hell are you waitin for

after me

there shall be no more

so for one last time

nigga make some noise

get em jay

who you know fresher than hov'? riddle me that

the rest of y'all know where i'm lyrically at

can't none of y'all mirror me back

yeah hearin me rap is like hearin g. rap in his prime

i'm

young h.o. rap's grateful dead

back to take over the globe

now break bread

i'm in

boeing jets

global express

out the country but the blueberry still connect

on the low but the yacht got a triple deck

but when you young

what the fuck you expect? yep

yep

grand openin

grand closin

god damn your man hov' cracked the can open again

who you gon' find doper than him with no pen

just draw off inspiration

soon you gon' see you can't replace him

with cheap imitations for dese generations

now can i get an encore

do you want more

cookin raw with the brooklyn boy

so for one last time i need y'all to roar

now what the hell are you waitin for

after me

there shall be no more

so for one last time

nigga make some noise

what the hell are you waiting for

look what you made me do

look what i made for you

knew if i paid my dues

how will they pay you

when you first come in the game

they try to play you

then you drop a couple of hits

look how they wave to you

from marcy to madison square

to the only thing that matters in just a matter of years

as fate would have it

jay's status appears

to be at an all-time high

perfect time to say goodbye

when i come back like jordan

wearin the 4-5

it ain't to play games witchu

it's to aim at you

probably maim you

if i owe you i'm blowin you to smithereeens

cocksucker take one for your team

and i need you to remember one thing

i came

i saw

i conquered

from record sales

to sold out concerts

so muh'fucker if you want this encore

i need you to scream

'til your lungs get sore

i'm tired of being what you want me to be

feeling so faithless lost under the surface

don't know what you're expecting of me

put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

every step that i take is another mistake to you

and every second i waste is more than i can take

i've become so numb i can't feel you there

i've become so tired so much more aware

i'm becoming this all i want to do

is be more like me and be less like you

i've become so numb

can i get an encore

do you want more

i've become so numb

so for one last time i need y'all to roar

one last time i need y'all to roar
