Coming Of Age - Jay-Z[00:00:00]
Written by:K. Dean[00:00:01]
Come experience life as we know it[00:00:03]
As some of you should know it[00:00:07]
Place Marcy Brooklyn[00:00:12]
Actions well y'all know the actions[00:00:16]
I got this shorty on my block always clocking my rocks[00:00:22]
He likes the style and profile I think he want to mock[00:00:25]
He likes the way I walk he see my money talking[00:00:28]
To honeys hawking I'm the hottest nigga in New York and[00:00:30]
I see his hunger pains I know his blood boils[00:00:33]
He want to run with me I know this kid will be loyal[00:00:36]
I watched him make a few ends to cop his little sneakers and gear[00:00:39]
Then it's just enough for re up again[00:00:42]
I see myself in his eyes I moved from Levi's[00:00:44]
To guess to Versace now it's diamonds like liberace[00:00:47]
That's just the natural cycle nobody want to be like Michael[00:00:50]
Where I'm from just them niggas who bounced from a gun[00:00:53]
We out here trying to make hard white into cold green[00:00:55]
I can help shorty blow out like afro sheen[00:00:58]
Plus I can relive my days of youth which is gone[00:01:01]
That little nigga's peeps it's time to put him on[00:01:03]
It's time to come up[00:01:06]
And hold my own weight defend my crown[00:01:07]
Got to lock it down and when they rush[00:01:09]
Stand my ground[00:01:11]
It's time to come up[00:01:11]
Stick up my chest and make some loot[00:01:12]
Got to lock it down and when they rush[00:01:14]
Stand on my own two[00:01:16]
I'm out here slinging bringing the drama trying to come up[00:01:17]
In the game and add a couple of dollar signs to my name[00:01:20]
I'm out here serving disturbing the peace life could be better[00:01:22]
Like my man reclined in plush leather seats[00:01:26]
He's selling weight I'm selling eight balls[00:01:28]
Sixteen trying to graduate to pushing quarters y'all[00:01:31]
I ain't going to sweat him I'm a let him come to me[00:01:34]
If he give me the nod then these niggas going to see[00:01:36]
I'm tired of being out here round the clock[00:01:39]
And breaking day and chasing crack heads up the block for my pay[00:01:41]
I'm staying fresh so chickens check[00:01:45]
I'm trying to step up to the next level pushing Vettes through the 'Jects[00:01:47]
Diamonds reflect from the sun directly in your equilibrium[00:01:50]
And stunned I'm waiting for my day to come[00:01:53]
I got the urge to splurge I don't want a lifetime sentence[00:01:56]
Just give me the word[00:01:59]
It's time to come up[00:02:01]
And hold my own weight defend my crown[00:02:02]
Got to lock it down and when they rush[00:02:04]
Stand my ground[00:02:06]
It's time to come up[00:02:06]
Stick up my chest and make some loot[00:02:07]
Got to lock it down and when they rush[00:02:09]
Stand on my own two[00:02:11]
Hey fella I been watching you clocking[00:02:12]
Who me holding down this block it ain't nothing[00:02:14]
You the man nigga now stop fronting[00:02:16]
Hahah I like your style[00:02:18]
Nah I like your style[00:02:19]

Cool nigga[00:02:22]

A g I ride with you for free[00:02:23]
I want the long term riches and bitches[00:02:25]
Have it all now listen to me[00:02:27]
You let them other niggas get the name skip the fame[00:02:29]
Ten thou' or a hundred g keep your shit the same[00:02:32]
On the low[00:02:34]
Yeah the only way to blow[00:02:35]
You let your shit bubble quietly[00:02:36]
And then you blow[00:02:38]
Hey keep your cool[00:02:39]
The only way to peep a fool is let him show his hand[00:02:40]
Then you play your cards[00:02:43]
Then he through dealing I understand[00:02:44]
Don't blow your dough on hotties[00:02:46]
The only thing I got in this world is my word and my nuts[00:02:47]
And won't break them for nobody[00:02:49]
Hah I like your resume pick a day you can start[00:02:51]
From now until death do us part nigga[00:02:54]
It's time to come up[00:02:56]
And hold my own weight defend my crown[00:02:57]
Got to lock it down and when they rush[00:02:59]
Stand my ground[00:03:01]
It's time to come up[00:03:01]
Stick up my chest and make some loot[00:03:03]
Got to lock it down and when they rush[00:03:04]
Stand on my own two[00:03:06]
It's time to come up[00:03:07]
And hold my own weight defend my crown[00:03:08]
Got to lock it down and when they rush[00:03:10]
Stand my ground[00:03:12]
It's time to come up[00:03:13]
Stick up my chest and make some loot[00:03:13]
Got to lock it down and when they rush[00:03:15]
Stand on my own two[00:03:17]
