Stop
Jay-Z/R Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aiyo I cannot (Stop), I will not (Stop)
AS WE PROCEED
Young Hov got the block on smash
Put the gun to the back and hop on some ass
Nigga fresh-dressed and stay poppin' tags
Bitches want to bring up the topic of my past
It's legendary in the hood how I got my cash
I'm legendady in the hood so I got the mag
And I've never been a fronter so I've got to blast
Will I flash... Not...
As I'm not playing with you motherfuckers the casket drops
You bastards not gon' assassinate the name I got
Ya'll hear me though
Young Hov got the block on smash
And everybody and their momma want to stop my cash
Everybody want drama with the top of the brass
'Til I come through hop out the cab
1-8-7 they ass
(Stop) Somebody 'gon (Drop) Ya'll hear me though...
Aiyo I cannot (Stop), I will not (Stop)
AS WE PROCEED
Young Hov got the game in a frenzy
Twenty million sold all independently
So when you mention me
Make sure you got together your 'semblies
Like "he's the games J.F.Kennedy"
I started out I ain't have no chimney
My ma was Santa Claus, well at least she pretended to be
'Til one night, well that's if memory serves me correct I caught her under
the Christmas tree
Young Hov ain't have no pops
Thank God man I had the block
Ya'll hear me though
You young fucks got the game all wrong
This is my life man this ain't no song
You ain't livin' your rhymes out, you live at your mom's house
In that tight-ass room, pullin' the cars out
And the mirror pointin' at your reflection, killing yourself
You American Pie, stop feeling yourself
Nigga, you just a worker, go deal yourself
Stop being a server, get a meal yourself
Where your heart at, all that yick-yack, ain't nobody scared of your gats
We got bigger ones
How many niggas done shot at me shivering
They were so scared they ain't hit me once
Young Hov 'bout to go to the range
'Bout to work on perfecting my aim
Aiyo I cannot (Stop), I will not (Stop)
AS WE PROCEED

She saw her death but didn’t interpret it the right way for herself. 😢 Aaliyah is in heaven
Louise Styles
There's some supernatural wickedness going on here and Aliya had strong intuition about what might happen and she felt the lack of safety for herself and tried to avoid getting on the plane but in her case, the wickedness prevailed and their strategy to have her killed by a plane cash worked out for themselves. No incriminating evidence was exposed, so they all got over.

Jay-Z F Rihanna at 14. The reason why Chris Brown beat up Rihanna because he found out about Rihanna relationship, business, lies and Jay-Z relationship, business, lies.🤫🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tice Ramírez
Yup and when she won that Grammy that spoke volumes
Ouranos Wealth Group
Dame said in another interview that Jay had her first and that he didn’t know they were serious when he took her. These men are scoundrels. They were competing for her like she was property
Sansa Palmer
I always knew Jay Z was like R. Kelly. I cried when he married Beyoncé.💯😍🔥
Tice Ramírez
@Ruciana Pollard she met him when she was 16 and 17 DC group her mother said wait a year to know each other when she turn 18 he took her out
sweetlikez
@Ruciana Pollard They claimed that Beyonce met Jay Z when she was 18 and dated him when she was 19. Jay Z is 12 years older than Beyonce. He was 30 Beyonce was 18. A lot of these grown men wait for girls to turn 18 to marry regardless of how much older they are to the girls. It's the same with Marques Houston.

@Ruciana Pollard no.

Bey was an adult when she met Jay and when she married him.
