Best Of Me
Jay-Z Feat. Mya Lyrics

I'm focused man
I am concentrating on something important

Tell Stout to holla at me man
Ask Stout to contact and speak with me

Yo, yes y'all, Jigga man be ballin'
Hey everyone, I, Jigga, am succeeding and living lavishly

Leave chicks pigeon-toed, some of them be crawlin'
I make some women weak in the knees and crawling towards me

Get the best of you whenever I put my all in
I excel and succeed when I give it my all

Have mamis callin, for the Lord, darlin'
Women are attracted to me and want to be with me

Jigga in call and ass drop
Jigga is dancing and dropping his butt

Coupes with half the top, dispose half my knot
I own cars with removable roofs and spend half my earnings

Niggas mad when I brag about the cash I got
Other men get upset when I boast about my wealth

But I'm used to not havin' a lot
However, I know how it feels to live with little money

I'm from the gutter and uh
I come from a poor and difficult environment

I ain't the type to ever chase your boss
I won't go after another man's woman

I'm the type to interior decorate the watch
I prefer to customize my watch rather than chase after someone else's partner

I'm the type to sling heavy weight on the block
I am the type of person who sells drugs on the street

In every state and block, word, Jigga's the hurt holla
I am known and respected throughout the country

Your lips are telling me yes, while you're kissin' on my neck
You are showing interest in me through your physical actions

Makin' me feel so, should I stay, should I go, I don't know
You are making me unsure about whether or not to pursue a relationship with you

Your hot boy style drives me wild
Your confident and attractive demeanor excites me

But in the back of mind I know
However, I am aware that there may be negative consequences to getting involved with you

Conversation ain't what, big thighs got you stuck
We do not have good communication, but your physical attributes are keeping me interested

Feelings startin' to show, should I stay, should I go, I don't know
My emotions are getting involved, making me unsure if I should pursue you or not

You're drivin' me crazy, I wanna be your lady
You are making me feel erratic, I want to be with you

But I got a man at home
However, I am in a committed relationship with someone else

5-4-3-2-1
A countdown to take action

Carolina blue kicks, hottest nigga on the block
I am wearing blue shoes and am the most popular guy on this street

Used to Willie bicycle since I was 6, uh
I've been riding a Willy bike since I was six years old

High school crossover, wave to wave picks
I played basketball in high school and made some impressive moves

Music ain't the same shit, gave away hits
The music industry has changed, I used to produce more successful songs

So ma get it together or forget it forever
Get your act together or we cannot pursue a relationship

When I go at you hard I can get it through leather
I can penetrate through leather when I am forceful

You act like Jigga can't get at whoever
You underestimate my ability to attract anyone I want

Talkin' you got a man, okay ma and
You mention being in a relationship, but it doesn't bother me

That's high school, makin' me chase you 'round for months
Playing hard to get is something teenagers do, not adults

Have an affair, act like an adult for once
Let's not sneak around, let's behave maturely

Plus my hand is up your skirt, goddamn you flirt
I am being physically intimate with you, you are quite flirtatious

What's a little me on top gon' hurt, maybe a little but
Having sex with me being on top may cause some pain, but it will be worth it

Pain is pleasure and pressure bust pipes
Getting hurt can be enjoyable, and too much pressure can cause something to break

And you look like the "I-Like-It-Rough" type
You seem like someone who enjoys rough sexual experiences

We can crush tonight, tell me what you like
We can have great sex today, let me know what you prefer

I got a yellow bottle on a bucket of ice, get right (Young Hova)
I have a fancy drink accompanied by ice, let's enjoy ourselves (I am also known as Young Hova)

Make it hot, make it hot, make it hot
Let's turn the heat up and make things exciting
