Jockin' Jay-Z
JAY-Z Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mercedes truck, fuck, houses on acres
Blatantly ballin' on HD
Y'all need to step up y'all AV
Life changed again I was already taking off
My flight changed again
Slight change of winds
It's barely 12 noon and my wife changed again
Daddy need at least three weeks in the Hamptons
Please don't judge me, only hugged the block
I thought my daddy didn't love me
My baby getting chubby
Cue that Stevie Wonder music, aww isn't she lovely
Now I'm staring at praying that things don't get ugly
And I'm stuck in that old cycle like wife leaves hubby
Fuck joint custody
I need a joint right now
Just the thought alone fucks with me
High on life
I could die from the fall
Imagine if I hit the floor
Apologies in order
To Blue Ivy my daughter
If it was up to me
You would be with me
Sort of like daddy dearest
I dream filthy (my mom and pops) mixed me with Jamaican
(Rum and whiskey) what a set off (what a set off)
And I know I'm not perfect baby
I been through so much trauma
It gonna be hard to reverse it
With some doctors and some nurses maybe
Teach me on how to treat a lady
Open doors on the 'Cedes
This relationship shit is complicated
All I know is we ain't speaking everyday
I fucking hate it
I don't wanna duplicate it
I seen my mom and pop drive each other motherfuckin' crazy
And I got that nigga blood in me
I got his ego and his temper
All is missing is the drugs in me
High on life
I could die from the fall
Imagine if I hit the floor
Apologies in order
To Blue Ivy my daughter
If it was up to me
You would be with me
Sort of like daddy dearest
Father never taught me how to be a father, treat a mother
I don't wanna have to just repeat another leave another
Baby with no daddy want no mama drama
I just wanna take her back to a time when everything was calmer
Out in Paris on a terrace watching the Eiffel Tower
And a Ferris wheel yet and still, nothing could prepare us
For the beauty that you be Blue be
Looking in your eyes is like a mirror, have to face my fears
Cheer up, why can't you just be happy
Without these back and forth thoughts, you too much like your daddy
Badly I just wanna spent more time with him
Sadly life wouldn't let me get around with him
Now I got my own daughter, taught her how to take her first steps
Cut the cord watch her take her first breath
And I'm trying and I'm lying if I said I wasn't scared
But in life and death if I ain't here
Apologies in order
To Blue Ivy my daughter
If it was up to me
You would be with me
Sort of like daddy dearest

Similar to how my father was a big part of my life
Father never taught me how to be a father, treat a mother
My own father did not teach me how to be a good father or partner
I don't wanna have to just repeat another leave another
I do not want to repeat the cycle of absent fathers
Baby with no daddy want no mama drama
Children without a father do not want any unnecessary drama from their mothers
I just wanna take her back to a time when everything was calmer
I want to provide a peaceful and stable environment for my child
Out in Paris on a terrace watching the Eiffel Tower
I dream of sharing a romantic moment with my partner in Paris
And a Ferris wheel yet and still, nothing could prepare us
Even something as simple as riding a Ferris wheel can be a memorable and magical experience
For the beauty that you be Blue be
I am in awe of the beauty and innocence of my daughter Blue Ivy
Looking in your eyes is like a mirror, have to face my fears
When I look at my daughter, I am faced with my own fears and vulnerabilities
Cheer up, why can't you just be happy
I want my loved ones to be happy and optimistic
Without these back and forth thoughts, you too much like your daddy
I do not want my child to have the same negative thoughts and behaviors I displayed in the past
Badly I just wanna spent more time with him
I deeply desire more time with my father
Sadly life wouldn't let me get around with him
Unfortunately, life did not allow me to spend more time with my father
Now I got my own daughter, taught her how to take her first steps
I am now a father to my own child and have taught her important milestones
Cut the cord watch her take her first breath
I was there for my child's first breath of life
And I'm trying and I'm lying if I said I wasn't scared
I am doing my best but still feel afraid and uncertain
But in life and death if I ain't here
Even if I am not present, my love for my daughter will remain
