(Black Swan)


Jay-Z Intro:
Only Way We Can Continue In Hip Hop
Is If We Pay Respect To The Past
So I Had To Pay Respects To The Past
So I Can Continue On To The Future
Can I Introduce You To My Future

(Verse 1)
Ayo
Sitting On My Burgundy Sofa, Drinkin A Cody Scott
Lifting Up A Bar On This Writing Is Not As Hard As I Really Thought
Realness In Acceptance These Feelings Get Inceptioned
Rising To The Top So A Ceiling Won't Get Mentioned
Smart Kid Or A Hood Life, I Hit That Intersection
But Skewed It To The Middle, Just To Alter That Perception
To Put This Rap Game On My Pension Isn't My Intention
The Only Contract Id I Ever Seen Was Getting That Suspension
But The Folks Round Here'll Never Understand
A Majority Of My Support System's Buried Under Sand
Mt. Hope For My Family Tree, Homie I Aint Lying
Park And Recreate The Game, Make A Name Or Die Trying
With These Genes So Wild, I'm On My Richard Pryor
Like I Was Free Basing Watch Me Spit St. Elmo's Fire
With That Old Hoodie, That California Strap
Im Just A Phased Rookie Tryna Show Ya'll Where California At


(Chorus)
So Who's Down For Production
Spitting More Than I Could Ruxpin
Sun Down On That Black Swan
Coming Down From Something
Used To Rap Too Short
Now I Rap Too Long X2


(Verse 2)
Put Infinite On Loop When I Was Writing My 8 Track
Wanna Get That Green But All They Handin Me Is Tree Sap
Sayin This Ain't A G Tap
Just Coppin A Free Sack
Re-Pack And Move Up To A Souped Up Cadillac
Trick The Lights To Grow Grams
Break Bread With Space Jam
It's Funny How You Say You Rap Amazing Off Web Cams
Do I Dismiss Dissing The Competition
Im Just Itchen For A Shot For Y'll To Check My Diction
But Them Credentials Is All That Make Up Yo Matter
It Doesn't Matter If You Spitting Rhymes Madder Than That Hatter
But To Make Yo Wallet Fatter
Gotta Take It Step By Step
And They Just Threw Me Off The Ladder
They Said Jason, Learn Your Limits
So I Listened, Remained Ignant
Resin Risen From These Pipe Dreams
Assisting My Persistence
Cuz If School And Rap Dont Settle
We'd Be Back To These Streets And Corners Collecting Scrap Metal


(Chorus)
So Who's Down For Production
Spitting More Than I Could Ruxpin
Sun Down On That Black Swan
Coming Down From Something
Used To Rap Too Short
Now I Rap Too Long X2



(Verse 3)
R&B To A Baptist, R.I.P To My Track List
Flow So Advocate, Aggravated Assault Passionate
On My Track Run For Green And I Got Yellow Carded
Made A Mixtape I Didn't Like, So I Had To Restart It
But Still Ain't Change A Thing, I Be On My Clockwork
Devil Trombones Let Em Sing, Well At Least That Clock Work
Violins And Flowers, I'm The Man The Hour
Just Wanted To Play The Trumpet Like Tower Of Power
But They Don't Want That Fade, Man You Some Cowards
Diss Rap Me? Ooo My Laughs Getting Louder
Cuz All You Have To Say To Me Is Coming Out Of A Router
That Web Ammunition,Spitting Digital Showers
Umm, This Is My Time And My Lines
Give Em Whiplash Off Of A Blindside
Sack Em Like Its Air Tight
And Always Make A Lucrative Amount Of Music
Gonna Kill Em All, Cuz Somebodys Gotta Do It


(Chorus)
So Who's Down For Production
Spitting More Than I Could Ruxpin
Sun Down On That Black Swan
Coming Down From Something
Used To Rap Too Short
Now I Rap Too Long X2


Ill Never Change This Is Jay Everday
Aye
Ill Never Change This Is Jay Everday
Aye
Ill Never Change This Is Jay
