This is a collaboration between Jay-Z and Sauce Money, with Sauce introducing it and acknowledging Jay-Z's skill.

This goes out to my Brooklyn crew
The song is dedicated to the people from Brooklyn, the borough in New York City where both Jay-Z and Sauce Money grew up.

Put your guns up in the air if your feel me
If you're with us, show your support by raising your guns in the air.

(If you feel me) Fuck 'em all day, fuck 'em all night
We don't care about anyone who's not with us, we'll ignore them all day and all night.

We don't love these hoes
We don't have any emotional attachment or regard for these women.

Get your money and your guns ready, this is about to get serious.
