All mommies I harbor for vouch for me /Tell 'em bout the time all your mommas couch mommy
Jay-Z reminds moms to vouch for his successful work that he spent hours working on sitting on their couch

All hustlers whoever bought an eighth from me / Take the time out to set the record straight for me

Think with indelible ink, I let the pen go / Verses permanently tattooed serve as mementos
Jay-Z uses his skill of rapping as a permanent reminder to never forget him

Ah, I'm so mental, my track record speaks for itself

I'm so instrumental / Allow me to rekindle / Lets all reminisce like Mary did / Think I have to send you a reminder / Here it is
Jay-Z seeks to remind everyone of his success in the music world in the same way Mary J. Blige reminds listeners of her hits

What the hell have you done / To even have an opinion on what I been doing

What the hell have y'all won / Only thing you can identify with is losing

Ten number one albums in a row / Who better than me? / Only the Beatles nobody ahead of me

I crush Elvis in his blue suede shoes / Made the rolling stones seem sweet as Kool-Aid to
Jay-Z considers himself greater than Elvis in his prime and also better than The Rolling Stones

96, 97, 98, 99, 2000, 2001 and beyond / 02, 03, 04, 05, 06 and 7, 08, 09 / Back to back double plat, I did what you want
Jay-Z lists his consecutive years of chart-topping success and alludes to his fans' endless expectations of him

Men lie women lie, numbers don't

Ain't nothing changed for me except the year it is / I think have to send you a reminder / Here it is

Do what I done without crying in the environment / In which I did it in without dying my nigga

Rap like I rap without lying and then tie 'em both together like I am my nigga
Jay-Z brags about his rapping skill and how it sets him apart from others, while connecting his experiences and identity through his music

The right sixteen's in between running sixteen businesses / All the while showing these young punks what the business is
Jay-Z balances running multiple businesses with mentoring young, up-and-coming artists in the music industry

As if I'm a let you niggas style on me / As if / Now everybody senile on me
Jay-Z doesn't allow other rappers to outshine him, but lately, it seems like the public may have forgotten his greatness

Throwbacks I threw 'em back / Remember those button ups / Young Hov / Tell them ordinary Joe's button up
Jay-Z reflects on his past style choices, but also advises people to make effort with their appearance, as he has always done

I destroy your four points O's / And Benz five hundreds it all points to oh

Now you niggas 'memba me / Tell me how could you forget, back to johnny's album cover / Red and blue Gucci shit

Ain't nothing changed but the year it is / I think I have to send you a reminder here it is

Reminder (ar) Reminder (ar) I got it if you need it / A reminder (ar) Reminder (ar) Reminder think I better give you a reminder (ar)
Jay-Z repeats the chorus, claiming that he has a reminder for anyone who wants to be reminded of his talent and influence
