Bring It On
Jay-Z / Mary J. Blige Lyrics

Ayo Jay word up, these motherfuckers
Hey Jay, let's address these guys

Fuckin' talkin' that comeback shit like they cookin' crack
They are acting as if they are making a comeback while dealing drugs

Shit I ain't frontin' all I want my pockets green like slum change
I'm serious, all I want is to be rich

Yaknahmsayin? Front the roll we roll back like rubbers motherfucker
You understand what I'm saying? We're rolling even when things get tough

For real, with no trace of AIDS
Seriously, with no harm done

We keep our pockets fully blown, Roc-A-Fella click nigga
We keep our pockets filled with cash as part of Roc-A-Fella clique

Ayo we pattin down pussy from Sugarhill to the Shark Bar
Hey, we're getting all the girls in Sugarhill and the Shark Bar

Fuck a bitch D in the marked car
I don't care about getting caught with a girl in the police car

We got the bad bitches gaspin' for air in Aspen
We have beautiful women desperate for us in Aspen

Searchin' for aspirin when I ask then, we swing
They're so amazed they need to find medicine for their headache

You cling we do our thing and bring
You can hold on if you want, but we're still going to succeed

Sling your ding-a-ling from Bed-Stuy Brooklyn to Beijing
Just show your penis from the most popular neighborhood in Brooklyn to Beijing

East coast hostess hostile colossal, money flarin'
We're the biggest and the baddest from the east coast with money to spend

Like nostrils for drug dealin' apostles, huh
We're in the drug dealing business and making lots of money

Al Pacino down to Nino Brown
We are powerful and influential like Al Pacino and Nino Brown character from the movie New Jack City

Me Jay and Primo, got it sewed across the board like poquino
Me, Jay and Primo have it all figured out and mastered like the game 'poquino'

Teflon, make sure your jammy is full
Be prepared with a fully loaded gun

Cause I heard, Sammy the Bull lamps in Miami with pull
I heard that Sammy the Bull is in Miami with leverage and connections

Tropical leaves where I got a few keys
I have a few keys in a tropical hideaway

With my man I'll stock a few G's, now it's unstoppable cheese
I'll store a few thousand dollars with my guy and it will turn into short of unstoppable wealth

Said we was garbage, so fuck college
They called us garbage, so who needs college

Street knowledge amazin' to scholars when we coin phrases for dollars
Our street smarts impress scholars when we create profitable catchphrases

Star studded bitches with crystals, get fucked with pistols
Famous women with expensive jewelry are sleeping with us while we carry guns

Just to see my shit, discharge puss
They just want to get close to me and get excited

I drop the stellar, even acapella
I am a great rapper, with or without accompaniment

I got to tell all about Roc-A-Fella
I need to tell everyone about Roc-A-Fella

Yeah, bring it on if you think you can hang
Let's see if you can handle it

And if not then let me do my thang
If you can't, I'll just keep doing my own thing

Mannerisms of a young Bobby DeNiro, spent Spanish wisdoms
I act like a young Robert DeNiro and use Spanish proverbs

In a whip with dinero, crime organized like the pharaoh
Driving around with a lot of money, still being organized and efficient

I cream, I diamond gleam
I'm successful and it shows

High post like Hakeem, got a lot of things to drop
I am successful like Hakeem Olajuwon and always have something coming

Brooklyn to Queens, I gotta keep my steam
I need to keep my momentum going from Brooklyn to Queens

Niggaz wanna try to hem my long jeans
People want to hold me back

Uptown fiend for Jay-Z to appear on the scene
People desperately waiting for me uptown

In the meanwhile, here's somethin dope for y'all to lean
While you wait, here's some great music to enjoy

Liaison for days on in
Connections that last days on in

Money make the world go around so I made songs to spin
Money is everything and I made music to profit

Can I Live, did dough, with my nigs, dividends flow
I can enjoy life with my friends and still profit

Like the Mississippi riv', lookin jig'
Making a lot of money like the Mississippi river and looking good

Can't do for dolo, had to turn away when Tony killed Manolo
I can't do everything alone, I had to step back when things got rough

That's real, mixed feelings like a mulatto
That's true and it's hard to deal with the mixed feelings like being biracial

Thug thought he was O.G. Bobby Johnson
The thug thinks he is a powerful O.G. like Bobby Johnson

I played him like Benny Blanco, mano a mano
I took him down like in the movie Carlito's Way

You ain't ready, I find no trigger straight up shoot my guns
If you're not prepared, I'll shoot my guns right away

Horizontal, get your weight up, I am
I'm confident and dominant

Two point two pounds you're barely a hundred and twenty-five grams
I'm heavy and powerful, while you are nothing

Wouldn't expect y'all to understand this money
You wouldn't understand this kind of wealth

Do the knowledge, do the few dollars, I'm due to demolish
Understand the value of a few dollars because I'm about to destroy my competition

Crews Brooklyn through Hollis to a hood near you, what the fuck
My crew's all around, from Brooklyn to Hollis, and now you

(Bring it on if you think you can hang)
(I challenge you to try to keep up)

Money is power
Money is everything

I'm into cheddick with facial credit
I'm all about having good credit and making money

Pure platinum fetish for cheddars
I love making lots of money

Spread letters you move you're deadish
Talk too much and you'll get killed

I make moves that remove pebbles out of shoes
I make powerful moves that solve small problems

You suck pistol like pipe with the crystal
You hold guns like it's a drug

John Stockton couldn't assist you
You're alone and can't rely on anyone

Cowboys or Benzes like we foulin in the U.N.
We're treated like important officials when we're out in public

So what the fuck you doin?
What are you even doing with your life?

Whatever nigga Fahrvegnugen, rugged yet polished
I don't even care, I'm just doing what I want while being both tough and polished

Spankin dollars with the commas
Spending tons of money

Bangin bitches out the Bahamas
Sleeping with women in the Bahamas

On hides of llama we cry nada, fly frather
On unusual things like llama fur, we show no emotion but still fly

Fry hotter, you die gotta
Get better or you'll die trying

Fuck with me witness manana
Mess with me and you'll see the consequences tomorrow

Absence of malice in my palace
There's no bad intentions in my life

Call cousin now Dallas trigger finger with the callous
I'm capable of great violence with no remorse

Tip scales from mail to keep these niggaz off balance
I use my power against people to keep them off balance and less powerful

Your frequent stops to O.T.b. You feedin me
Your consistent presence allows me to profit

Steam a nigga schemin on the wrist action with the gleams
Intimidate anyone who tries to steal my jewelry

Jewels for Pop Duke fulfill your dreams
Provide my close associates with nice jewelry and fulfill their dreams

Never put the pure brown sugar before the dirty green cream
Don't put the sweetness of life before the money

Yeah, bring it on, bring it on
I'm ready for whatever is coming
