G*O*A*T - The Official Jay-Z Thread

[havoc]

Whole verse tho

You see me with a bodyguard that means police is watchin
And I only use his
Waist to keep my Glock in
But when shyt goes down you know who's doin the poppin
And if you don't know, guess who's doin the droppin
S dot again, y'all got him in a bad mood
Bad move; that's bad news
How many times have I got to prove?
How many loved ones have you got to lose
Before you realize that it's probably true?
Whatever Jigga say, Jigga probably do
shyt I paid my dues, I made the news
I came in the door for dolo, blazed the crews
And the streets say Jigga can't go back home
You know when I heard that? When I was back home
I'm comfortable dog, Brooklyn to Rome
On any Martin Luther, don't part with your future
Don't ever question if I got the heart to shoot ya
The answer is simply too dark for the user
And as a snot-nose they said that he got flows
But will he be able to drop those before the cops close in?
'Fore the shots froze him, and he's dead and gone
From what the block has spoken, my God
Everybody stressin, who's his baby's moms?
Who he got pregnant, let me tell you, ahh...

GOAT

Breh, you forgot highlight the last two bars.
"Don't ever question if I got the heart to shoot ya
The answer is simply too dark for the user"

That's every hustler's anthem. This the kind of music that will motivate a young entrepreneur stay on his grind.

Bet, bruh.

I never gave that line much thought. I just looked it up and it's even more potent than I've ever given it credit for.

What I love about Hov is that he'll reference shyt that you gotta be in the know to know. Dude's not trying to make music for everyone. Just himself and his ppl and we all just happen to relate for the most part.

And that's what bug me out when I hear people saying he caters to anyone. Of course he has those certified hits. But the man made songs about his credit score or not getting a apt or a song about art. I don't give a bleep about no damn art but goddamn I loved Picasso Baby

One other thing to be a True Jay Fan. U gotta know sports. Niqqas that don't kno sports can't truly appreciate Jay music at all. U can be into lyrics all u want. But if don't get why A&R's had Jay feeling like Moss in the draft (I'm talking understanding that line) ur opinion when it comes to Hov

"So I truly got to live this like my last movie
Six oohie, jewels drippin, big toolie
I ball for real, y'all nikkaz is Sam Bouie
And with the third pick - I made the earth sick
M.J., hem Jay, fade away perfect"

Keep this thread alive!!

Right hand on the Bible, left hand in the air
Before I spoke one word, made sure my throat was clear
A-hem, I'm a prisoner of circumstance
Frail nikka, I couldn't much work with my hands
But my mind was strong, I grew where you hold your blacks up
Trap us, expect us not to pick gats up
Where you drop your cracks off by the Mack trucks
Destroy our dreams of lawyers and actors
Keep us spiralin, goin backwards
At age nine, saw my first hate crime
Blindfolded, expected to walk a straight line
Mind molded, taught to love you and hate mine
Climbed over it, at a early age, Jay shined
fukk the system at Lady Justice I blaze nine
Your Honor, I no longer kill my people, I raise mine
The soul of Mumia in this modern day time

this is why Jay > Nas

Nas is surface level with the depth of the lines.

Jay is complete and utter metaphor

That 3rd verse is pure comedy to me...shyt always puts a smile on my face

naw muh'fukkers - y'all muh'fukkers
better run to the post office and get a job muh'fukkers
A starve muh'fukkers, cause Jay's been the only one
eatin thus far sub-par muh'fukkers
Naw even though y'all hate I love y'all muh'fukkers
"Friend or Foe, " y'all all my muh'fukkers

 

[Boolean]

whole verse tho



Yo, your summer's bout to get hot
nikkas home from jail and they plotting
Heard about the watch, the Bentley hard-top
The Continental T, got em resenting me
God I work hard, please don't envy me
I paid the cost to be the boss to floss this hard
I can recall a year ago I almost lost this job
All y'all remember is the part about me parking the hard
What about all them days I was walkin' my dogs
Barkin' at broads, but they never hollered back
And if they did all they said was, where dem dollaz at
Imagine, bein' skinny growin' up around brolic cats
The quiet assassin demeanor of them college cats
Until I got a gat and loudly start popping back
Round the way, nikkas called me Bobby Boucher
Now all I hear is whispers of what you gon' do to Jay
How y'all gon' stick me up, take my jewels away
Pull out your gat, car jack me take my cruise away
Well I got news for y'all fools today, hey..

That's the category where Jay out-shined Nas. On the other hand, Nas is the better conceptual rapper and storyteller. Both rappers are equally great. I just like Hov more because he makes better entertaining music.

The fifth
A dead lift if
nikkas don't want to get shot then y'all nikkas better squat
I drop your set for rep
No need to hit the showers
The spit from the fifth leave you wet

Hov speaks to me more because he's got the experience of having lived that life on top of just having a more violent but compassionate edge to his content.

Nas is cool, but I always felt like I was too smart and had actual knowledge of self above and beyond trying to seek knowledge from Nas.

Nas was telling me things I already knew, but Jay introduced me to a world I didn't know anything about.
