Illest Motherfucker Alive
Jay-Z and Kanye West Lyrics

1985 white Lamborghini countach, two of 'em
I own two rare and expensive Lamborghinis, from the year 1985 or earlier, and they are both white.

I need a slow motion video right now, Cause I'm moving in slow motion, slow motion, Feelin' like Hype Williams shooting a nigga, Shooting a nigga, hey hey hey, I need a slow motion video right now ay ay
I am moving so cool and smooth that it would be awesome to see it in slow motion, like a music video directed by Hype Williams. This line also references the violence often depicted in hip hop music videos and the glorification of it.

Damn baby pussy can't be your only hustle, Unless you bad as Naomi Russell, I mean a lot of niggas got money, So basically, Russell ain't the only Russell, Russell brand, Russell crow, Zero zero zero zero, a whole lot of 0's, What you after, actor money, You in line behind currency, yeah you after money
Having sex cannot be your only source of income, unless you are an incredible performer like Naomi Russell. Many people have money, so just having a famous name like Russell (such as Russell Crowe or Russell Brand) does not make you special. Do not simply seek fame or Hollywood-type money, because money is the real goal.

Bullet proof condom when I'm in these hoes, Got staples on my dick (why) fuckin' centerfolds, And I swear to god they so cold, Got a nigga in Miami wearing winter clothes, I got my fur on feelin' like Jerome, She got her fur too, we get our his and her on
I use protection when having sex with women, and sometimes wear a condom with staples in it. The women are so attractive that they figuratively make me cold, and I need to wear fur even in a warm place like Miami. I feel like the character Jerome from the TV show Martin, and sometimes my partner and I wear matching fur garments.

Don't look at the jewelry, or get your blur on, Too close, you comatose so dope you overdose, Get back, you over close, Oh no, the hood was strugglin', But then I blessed them with that polo, Niggas was making music and then my first solo, Collo Drolo sponsored by Manolo, She got Zeppi Notos ready for some photos, Yeah and I'm cold bitch, please try to keep the door closed, Lanvin thousand dollar tee with no logos, Let me show you what I see when my eyes closed
Do not stare at my expensive jewelry, or you might be overwhelmed by how amazing it is. If you get too close to me, you might be put into a trance-like state because of how cool I am. I have helped out the struggling community with my clothing line Polo and my first solo album. My love interest is wearing designer shoes called Zeppi Notos for a photoshoot. I am very cool and fashionable, so please try to contain your excitement when you see me. I wear expensive clothes like a $1000 Lanvin tee shirt, but it has no visible logo. I am going to share my vision with you through my art.

Take it how you want til a nigga dead, (til then I'm the illest motherfucer alive), Whole world aiming at a nigga head, (because I'm the illest motherfucker alive)
People can interpret me however they want until I die, but until then I am the greatest there is. Everyone is jealous of me and wants to bring me down, but that is because I am the best around.

Yeah yeah uh huh hold up, King Hov, I'm exactly what the fuck you think, Eleven in a row, Bill Russell rings, Michael Jordan swag, Y'all think Michael Jordan bad, Nigga I got a 5 more rings than Michael Jordan had, Elvis has left the building now I'm on the Beatles ass, Niggas hear watch the throne, Yeah it's like the Beatles back, Bey' Bey' my yoko ono, Rih' Rih' complete the family, Imagine how that's gon' look front row at the Grammys, Fuck your awards like Eddie Morphy's couch, The Roc is in the building we should have stayed in the house, I don't even know what we doing here, Seems to me a complete waste of gear, Just a fuckin' waste of time, a complete waste of bottles, Niggas fashion is weak, they be wastin' all the models, Got the oversized Rolley let me show the how to do it, When I say it then you see, it ain't only in the music, Basquiats, Warhols serving as my muses, My house like a museum, so I see 'em when I'm peeing, Usually you have this much taste you European, That's the end of that way of thinking, nigga never again, Know when to leave when the heat is coming, I learned that, This is where De Niro would be if he ain't turn back, Fuck Sosa, this Hova this is real life, This is what the ending of Scarface should feel like
I am Jay-Z, and I am exactly what you think I am - the king of the music world. I have more championship rings than basketball legend Michael Jordan, and I am causing a stir in the music industry like the Beatles once did. My significant others Beyoncé and Rihanna complete my empire, and we will look incredible at the Grammys. I do not care about awards or fashion because they are a waste of time and resources. My art is not confined to music but is also reflected in my Basquiats and Warhols. My house has so much valuable art that I even see it while I am peeing. I am so fashionable that I could be mistaken for a European. I have transcended that way of thinking, and I know when to retreat from dangerous situations. This is where Robert De Niro would be if he did not turn back from his criminal ways. Forget Tony Montana and Scarface - this is the real thing.
