U Don't Know
Jay-Z Feat. Lil' Fame & Billy Danzenie Lyrics

Turn my music high, high, high, high-er
I want to turn up the volume of the music to the highest level possible.

I'm from the streets where the Hood could swallow a man, bullets'll follow a man
I come from a dangerous neighbourhood where people can get killed easily, either by other people or some gunshots.

There's so much coke that you could run the slalom And cops comb the shit top to bottom
There are a lot of drugs in my neighbourhood, so much so that it's like you're skiing between them. The police are constantly searching for the drugs.

They say that we are prone to violence, but it's home sweet home Where personalities crash and chrome meets chrome
People always stereotype us as violent, but it's just a normal thing here. It's where people with different personalities collide and their cars' shiny metal meet.

The coke prices up and down like it's Wall Street homes But this is worse than the Dow Jones your brains are now blown All over that brown Brougham, one slip you are now gone Welcome to hell where you are welcome to sell
The cocaine prices are constantly fluctuating like the Wall Street stocks, but this kind of lifestyle is worse than the stock market crash. You can die at any moment, and your brains will spill all over the car. Selling drugs is what people do in this hellish place.

But when them shells come you better return 'em All scars we earn 'em, all cars we learn 'em like the back of our hand
When the gunshots start, you need to shoot back. We have got our scars from all the fights and we have mastered driving cars here.

We watch for cops hopping out the back of van Wear a G on my chest, I don't need Dapper Dan This ain't a sewn outfit homes, homes is about it Was clapping them flamers before I became famous
We keep an eye out for the police who might jump out of the van. I don't wear Dapper Dan's clothes, I wear clothes with a G on them to show my pride. We wear clothes that represent our lifestyle, which is a style of our own. I was fighting with guns before I became famous.

For playing me y'all shall forever remain nameless I am Hov'
You folks who doubted me will never be remembered. That's why I'm called Hov'.

Sure I do, I tell you the difference between me and them They trying to get they ones, I'm tryin' to get them M's
I know what sets me apart from others. They want to earn just enough to live, but I am after earning Millions.

One million, two million, three million, four In just five years, forty million more You are now looking at the forty million boy I'm rapping Def Jam 'til I'm the hundred million man R., O., C.
I've earned millions in just five years, and I'm now the forty million dollar man. I'll keep on rapping for Def Jam and will continue to do so till I become the hundred million dollar man. Rock on, Jay Z, The Ruler Of The Country (R,O,C stands for that).

I came into this motherfucker a hundred grand strong Nine to be exact, from grinding G-packs Put this shit in motion ain't no rewinding me back
I started this business with just 100,000 dollars. Grinding and selling cocaine helped me make a living. I cannot undo what I have done and I will keep on doing this.

Could make 40 off a brick but one rhyme could beat that And if somebody would of told 'em that Hov' would sell clothing Heh, not in this lifetime, wasn't in my right mind That's another difference that's between me and them Heh, I'm smarten up, open the market up One million, two million, three million, four In eighteen months, eighty million more Now add that number up with the one I said before You are now looking at one smart black boy Momma ain't raised no fool
I could earn 40,000 dollars by selling cocaine, but writing one good song can help me earn even more than that. If somebody would've told people that I would sell clothes, they would not have believed it, but now I learned to be smart and open up to diverse markets. I've earned eighty million dollars in the past eighteen months alone. Adding that to my previous earnings, you're looking at one very successful young black man. I am not foolish.

Put me anywhere on God's green earth, I'll triple my worth Motherfucker, I, will, not, lose
Wherever you put me, I will multiply my earnings by three. I am determined not to lose at any cost.

I sell ice in the winter, I sell fire in hell I am a hustler baby, I'll sell water to a well
I can sell anything to anyone, even if it's ice in winter or fire in hell. I am a hustler and can sell water to a well if I wanted to.

I was born to get cake, move on and switch states Cop the Coupe with the roof gone and switch plates Was born to dictate, never follow orders Dickface, get your shit straight, fucker this is Big Jay
I'm born to earn good money and then move on to another place. I can buy a new car and change their number plates. I have always been a leader and won't take orders from anyone. Hey, you asshole, stop talking shit and listen to Big Jay.

Will, not, lose, ever, fucker!
I won't lose at any cost, you hear me? Not now or ever, you piece of garbage.
