Pt. 2
Jay-Z (Feat. Beyoncé) Lyrics

Presidents to represent me
I desire to have money and power, symbolized by presidents, to represent me and my success.

Get money!
I want to accumulate wealth and gain influence in society.

Rock on, Roc-A-Fella y'all The saga continues
Our record label, Roc-A-Fella, is successful and growing, and our musical legacy will continue to evolve.

Ah, who wanna bet us that we don't touch leathers Stack cheddars forever, live treacherous all the et ceteras
Who wants to bet against us succeeding? We will accumulate wealth and live a dangerous lifestyle, always seeking adventure and excitement.

To the death of us, me and my confidants, we shine You feel the ambiance, y'all niggas just rhyme
My close friends and I will remain united until death, and our influence will shine brightly. Other rappers are not true leaders and cannot match our power and charisma.

By the ounce dough accumulates like snow We don't just shine, we illuminate the whole show, you feel me?
We make money rapidly, like snow accumulating by the ounce, and our success will not go unnoticed - we dominate the entire scene.

Factions from the other side would love to kill me Spill three quarts of my blood into the street, let alone the heat Fuck em, we hate a nigga lovin' this life
My adversaries would love to eliminate me, spilling my blood in the streets. However, we refuse to live in fear and will continue to enjoy our dangerous lifestyle without compromise.

In all possible ways, know the Feds is buggin' my life Hospital days, reflectin' when my man laid up On the Uptown high block he got his side sprayed up
The government is watching my every move, and I have experienced traumatic events like watching my friend get shot. These experiences shape my perspective and attitude.

I saw his life slippin', this is a minor set back Yo, still in all we livin', just dream about the get back That made him smile though his eyes said, "Pray for me"
I watched my friend experience a near-death experience, but we remain optimistic and focus on the future. We dream of revenge, and this thought gives us strength.

I'll do you one better and slay these niggas faithfully Murder is a tough thing to digest, it's a slow process And I ain't got nothin' but time
I will seek revenge on my enemies with complete dedication and patience, knowing that murder is not an easy task. I am willing to wait as long as it takes to succeed.

I had near brushes, not to mention three shots Close range, never touched me, divine intervention Can't stop I, from drinkin' Mai-Tai's, with Ty Ty Down in Nevada, ha ha, Poppa, word life I dabbled in crazy weight without rap, I was crazy straight Partner, I'm still spendin' money from eighty-eight what?
I have experienced several close calls with death, including being shot at multiple times, but I have been protected by a higher power. Despite the danger, I still enjoy life's pleasures and reflect on my success from earlier days.

Geyeah, know what? I'll make.. You and your wack mans fold like bad hands Roll like Monopoly, ad-vance you copy me
I am so confident in my abilities that I can make other rappers and their crews fail. I am like a player in a Monopoly game, always advancing and staying ahead of the competition.

Like white crystals, I gross the most At the end of the fiscal year than these niggas can wish to The dead presidential, canidate With the sprinkles and the presidential, ice that'll offend you
My wealth is like cocaine - it accumulates rapidly and is more than my rivals could ever hope to achieve. My jewelry is flashy and even offensive to those who envy me.

In due time when crime fleas my mind All sneak thieves and playa haters can shine But until then I keep the trillion cut diamonds shinin' brilliant I'll tell you half the story, the rest you fill it in
When I get tired of a life of crime, other lesser criminals can have their chance to shine. But for now, I will continue to flaunt my wealth and let others fantasize about my success.

Long as the villain win I spend Japan yen, attend major events Catch me in the joints, convinced my iguanas is bitin' J-A-Y hyphen, controllin', manipulatin'
As long as I stay on top, I will continue to spend money extravagantly and attend luxurious events. I even have pet iguanas that I believe are biting me. My power and influence are unmatched.

I got a good life man, pounds and pence 'Nough dollars make sense, while you ride the bench Catch me swinging for the fence Dead Presidents, ya know
I have achieved incredible wealth and success, and every dollar I earn only reinforces my status. Others may envy me from the sidelines, but I always aim high and will continue to achieve greater things.

Uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh, so be it The Soviet, The Unified Steady Flow You already know, you light I'm heavy roll, heavy dough Mic machete'd your flow, your paper falls slow Like confetti, mines a steady grow, bet he glow
My flow and influence in the rap game are like a powerful machine, with a steady and unified style. Other rappers are weak and cannot compete with me. My success is like a steady stream of confetti, while others' wealth comes and goes like a flickering light.

Pay five dead it from blow, better believe I have Eleven sixty to show, my doe flip like Tae-Kwon Jay-Z The Icon, baby, you like Dom, maybe this Cristal's To change your life huh, roll with the winners
I have made incredible wealth from selling drugs and have a significant net worth. My money flows rapidly, almost like a martial arts move, and my status as a legend is solidified. Others should try to keep up with me and enjoy the extravagant lifestyle that success can bring.

Heavy spenders like hit records: Roc-A-Fella Don't get it corrected this shit is perfected From chips to chicks just strip in a Lexus Make it without your gun, we takin' everything you brung We cake and you niggas is fake and we gettin' it done Crime Family, well connected Jay-Z And you fake thugs is Unplugged like MTV I empty three, take your treasure, my pleasure Dead presidentials, politics as usual Blaow!
Our record label is incredibly successful and we are true masters of the industry. We can take money and possessions from others without resorting to violence, and our success only further exposes the weakness of our rivals. We are connected and powerful, and those who oppose us will fail. Our power and success are the new normal, like the success of hit records. And if challenged, we will take pleasure in taking our opponents' wealth and dead presidents, which is just another aspect of the political game we play.

Dead fuckin' presidents to represent me (Whose) Dead fuckin' presidents to represent me (Whose) Dead fuckin' presidents to represent me (Whose) Dead fuckin' presidents to represent me (Whose)
This chorus emphasizes my desire for wealth and power, symbolized by the dead presidents on American currency. These symbols represent my success and status as a player in the rap game.

[Chorus: x2]
This chorus further emphasizes my desire for wealth and power, repeating the same message multiple times.
