Jigga-man's in the building...
It's ya boy H-O,
World's number one DJ,
DJ Clue, Tear down the world and the radio
Jigga-man, ya heard me?
Ain't I?
I'mma... I'mma... I'mma
I'mma hustlers hustler

Ain't I, Ain't I, Ain't I
I'mma hustlers hustler

Your favorite, ain't I
Ain't I, Ain't I, Ain't I
I'm still winnin' and I'm no where near finished,
It's just the first inning, and I'm gunning for the pennant,
And I been this, God made me, ya'll hate me, ya'll A-the-ist,
Ya'll safety is at risk
It's the return of the messiah,
One and only Hov,
Nah I ain't God, but I've been made in his mold,
So when the story is told let it be said I refuse to fold,
I only fold bread, I stood for the best, I owed no debt,
I represent the hood 'til my dying breathe,
I took a pay cut to become an exec,
So the next muh-fucka can earn his paycheck.
And even though these niggas talk greasy 'bout me,
Ask these niggas how they 'gon eat without me.
Ask these niggas if they want stets involved,
And even if they don't like me, they respect the God...

I'm Hustlers poster child, I'm 'posed to style,
I ain't got nothin' to prove I'm 'posed to smile,
I ain't insecure, I'm 'vested in a piece of Carol's Daughter
I'm in Sephora,
Bricks are insignificant to him,
He's a grown man, you're an infant to him,
Take your baby money and burn, T-Ha,
I spent that on furniture
I got warhols on my halls walls!
I got Basquiats in the lobby of my spot!
I'm so sophisticatedly hood, S.Carter cashmere premium goods,
Thousand dollars for the sneaks,
Timbo on the track,
Two-Fifty for the beat, G4 back and forth 'til my flow seats,
I spent a couple mil just to lose to the heat...

Anything you aspire, to acquire I got

I shot Any type of paraphenalia, I am the seller
I guess you're sayin' that's how I started Roc-A-Fella,
