Off That
JAY-Z Lyrics

Welcome to the future
Jay-Z is ushering his listeners into the future with his latest album, Blueprint 3.

Find me a nice soft place to land, I'm so high, Find me a place to land, Yeah right there
Jay-Z is living life to the fullest, enjoying the fruits of his labor and the success that comes along with it. He's reached a point where he can slow down and take stock of his achievements, but still, he's looking for somewhere to land and take it all in.

I'm so tomorrow, The Audemars are yesterday, Which means your on time delay, So even if I slow it down, My sound is fast forward, hold up
Jay-Z is acknowledging that he's ahead of his time, always pushing the boundaries and breaking new ground. He's not worried about what's already existed or what's currently popular--he's paving his own way and moving at his own pace.

I'm just a runway show, But I wear this on my plane in my runway clothes, Cashmere sweats they come out next year, But these my last year sweats
Jay-Z is living a luxurious lifestyle, dressing in the latest fashions and enjoying the finer things in life. However, he's not caught up in what's trendy or new--he's comfortable in his own skin and satisfied with what he has.

And my hoe so sick, your new chick can't fuck with my old bitch, And you know this shit, I'm professional, they novices, I just may let you borrow this
Jay-Z is confident in himself and his abilities. He's been in the game for a long time and has earned his place at the top. He's willing to share his knowledge and expertise with others, but he's making it clear that he's the real deal and not to be underestimated.

This the Blueprint nigga follow this, This what what tomorrow is, Welcome to tomorrow bitch
Jay-Z is setting the standard with his latest album, and he's inviting his listeners to come along for the ride. He's showing everyone what the future looks and sounds like, and he's confident that his vision will be the one that prevails.

Whatever you about to discover we off that, You about to tell her you love her we off that, Always wanna fight in the club and we off that, But you can't bring the future back
Jay-Z is encouraging his listeners to let go of the past and embrace the future. He's urging them to move on from outdated modes of thinking and behavior, and to focus on what's ahead. The future is where the action is, and it's where he intends to stay.

Y'all steady chasing the fame we off that, Over sized clothes and chains we off that, Nigga still making it rain and we off that, Cos you can't bring the future back
Jay-Z is calling out those who are still stuck in the past, clinging to outdated notions of success and wealth. He's saying that there's a new way of doing things, and that chasing fame or making it rain in the club is no longer en vogue. He's urging everyone to let go of these tired tropes and embrace a new way of living.

Tell niggas top get off me, Cris we off that, Timbs we off that, Rims we off that, Yeah we off that is you still on that, If you still making money cos we still on that
Jay-Z is saying that he's moved beyond flashy clothing, expensive liquor, and fancy cars. He's encouraging others to do the same and not be distracted by superficial things. He's also pointing out that if you're still making a lot of money, it's because you're focused on the future, not the past.

I don't give a fidduuck, abiddout the widday, You used to move, what you used to do, And I don't give a fidduuck abiddout the bitches, That you used to screw, What your future do, And we don't really care what you used to say, Unless that affects your future pay
Jay-Z is saying that he doesn't care about what people used to do or what they used to say, as long as it doesn't negatively impact their future prospects. He's encouraging people to focus on the future and to let go of the past, no matter how glamorous or exciting it may seem.

I'm on the practice field running two a day, So I don't drop the ball when its threw my way, So I don't a fidduck abiddout the shit that, You probably did, Who you probably is, The only time I deal in past tense, Is I'm past rims, And I'm past tints
Jay-Z is using a sports metaphor to describe his approach to life. He's saying that he's always prepared, always working hard, and always focused on the prize. He's not concerned with what others have done or who they are--he's too busy moving forward and staying ahead of the curve.

If you driving it I drove it, You got it cos I sold it, You copped it and I bought it back, And we don't give a fidduck nigga we off that
Jay-Z is saying that he's been there and done that when it comes to material possessions. He's owned everything from fancy cars to expensive jewelry, and he's no longer interested in acquiring more. He's encouraging others to let go of materialism and to focus on what's truly important.
