Man, they go and tell me like
you never know who your true friends until you ah umm
both got a little bit of money
I mean cause y`all both broke
then there`s no strain on the relationship, y`all both broke
And if you got money and he ain`t got no paper
He still needs you so you`ll never know how he really feel about you
When y`all both get some paper, you`ll see
[R. Kelly (Jay-Z)]
We used to get money together, phone honies together
Pushin chromed out twinkies in custom coach leather
You claim it`s all love, but nigga it`s whatever
Cause this is business, it ain`t personal
Same dream, same team, same schemes (mm)
We even sold to the same damn fiends (how real is dat?)
Ain`t no rules in this war for this green
This is business, and it ain`t personal
[Jay-Z]
Look, I`m a grown man dog
And I ain`t got time to be runnin behind y`all
I know when I first started it was crazy to y`all
`He`s gon` start his own label, he`ll never be able`
Well, nigga you`ve been wrong before
And you`ll be wrong again if you bet against him
We move through the hood like identical twins
But it just so happen that a nigga made it rappin
You showed your true colors, y`all niggaz stay yappin
That don`t stop him, a nigga weigh platinum
Stop through the hood, to say what`s happenin? (sup nigga)
Fake hugz (uh-huh) fake whassup
Fake love, fake fuck, fake thugs
Gotta one myself for your fake shit, I raise up
Hop in my wheels and I peel, streets are blazed up (uh-huh)
About my bid`ness dog, y`all need to stay up - one
