Stop
Jay-Z feat. Swiss Beats Lyrics

This is something like the Holocaust
A comparison between the tragic genocide of the Holocaust and the loss of millions of African American lives

Millions of our people lost
Acknowledgement of the heavy toll that African Americans have paid throughout history

Bow our heads and pray to the lord
Turning to a higher power for strength and guidance during difficult times

'Til I die I'm a fuckin' ball
Commitment to living life to the fullest no matter what obstacles may come

Now who gon' stop me?
Challenging anyone who thinks they can hold the artist back

Who gon' stop me huh?
Repeating the challenge to emphasize confidence and determination

Black cards, black cars, black on black, black broads
Describing opulent wealth and luxury

Whole lotta money in a black bag
Further emphasis on the abundance of money

Black strap, you know what that's for?
Suggesting that the artist is prepared for any situation, even with weapons

No brakes, I need, State Farm
Showing disregard for safety and insurance, taking risks without consequences in mind

So many watches I need eight arms
Boasting about excess and extravagance, emphasizing abundance once again

One neck but got eight charms
More emphasis on the extravagance and excess of the artist's lifestyle

Niggaas talkin', they bitch-made, ix-nay off my dicks-nay
Ignoring those who speak negativity and doubt, mocking them in pig-latin to show contempt

That's pig-Latin, itch-bay
Explaining the use of pig-latin as a way to talk down to others

Last night ain't go so well
Acknowledging a recent failure or setback

Got kicked up out the hotel
Further elaborating on the failure and showing vulnerability

Got a little freaky like Marvin Albert
Joking about the failure and making light of the situation

Yes! Tell Howard Cosell
Celebrating the joke and referencing a famous sports announcer

You just a commentator, if you get me paper
Dismissing the importance of critics and doubters, focusing on success

Everybody I know from the hood got common haters
Noting that many people from his past have shared experiences of dealing with haters and naysayers

In some relations, you just supposed to say none
Acknowledging that sometimes it is best to keep things to oneself, especially regarding rumors or gossip

Heard she fucked the doorman
Addressing a rumored situation

Well that's cool I fucked the waitress
Revealing a situation of his own to downplay the importance of rumors

Heard Yeezy was racist, well, I guess it's on one basis
Addressing another rumor, but suggesting that it may be unfounded or one-sided

I only like green faces
Asserting that the only thing that matters is money

Y'all weed purple, my money purple
Showing the stark contrast between the singer's wealth and the commonality of purple weed

Y'all Steve Urkel, I'm Oprah circle
Further emphasizing the massive wealth and power of the singer in comparison to others

I wrote the verse, that I hope will hurt you
Showing aggression towards opponents and doubters in the music industry

Beat the odds, beat the feds
Showing a history of overcoming obstacles in life

It wouldn't be wise, to bet against the kid
Asserting confidence in one's own abilities

Start me broke, I bet I get rich
Belief in the possibility of moving up in life despite starting with nothing

Night shift, six to six
Denoting hard work and long hours

Gimmie one shot, one pot
Opportunity to succeed with a single chance

I'll show up in all white, wearing no socks
Showing up to success in style and confidence

No ceiling, new coupe
Freedom to soar and new achievements

They know I'm a dope boy, they don't have no proof
Acknowledging a possibly negative reputation, but refuting its truth

I'm three steps removed, I know how to move
Asserting knowledge and experience in maneuvering through life and obstacles

It's looking like, I don't know how to lose
Expressing confidence and determination

I'm winning again, I'm at the Wynn
Celebrating current success and further demonstrating wealth

I'm at the table, I'm gambling
Taking risks to further success

Lucky lefty, I expect a seven
Emphasizing luck and chance in success

I went through Hell, I'm expecting Heaven, I'm owed
Belief in personal deserving of good things due to hardship

See I'm thorough and I stuck to the G-code
Asserting commitment to specific principles and code of conduct

I'm here, oh yeah, I promise I ain't going nowhere
Asserting presence and continuity

Okay here, like a hare, like a rabbit, I like karats
Showing love for wealth and bling

I'm allergic to having bunny ears
Disdain for appearing vulnerable or weak

Like broke, like nope, like ha
Showing a lack of concern or fear for negative situations

I ain't no joke, I can't be stopped
Asserting confidence and determination to never give up

Extend the beat Noah
Request for the music to continue playing

2 seats in the 911 uh, no limit on the black card ah
Further emphasizing wealth and luxury

Told y'all I was gonna go HAM uh, to the ocean was my backyard eh
Reiterating intentions to succeed and enjoy life to the fullest

No lies in my verses hey, please pardon all the curses hey
Asserting realness and authenticity in the artist's music and personality

Shit gotta come some way, fuck, when you growing up worthless uh
Acknowledging a difficult past and upbringing

Middle finger to my old life ugh, special shout out to my old head uh
Moving on from past struggles and past mentors

If it wasn't for your advice uh, a nigga would have been so dead uh
Acknowledging the importance of past influences and support

I'm living life, 'til these niggas kill me
Asserting determination to live life to the fullest despite obstacles

Turn this up, if you niggas feel me
Encouraging listeners to connect with the message and enjoy the music

I'm riding dirty, trying to get filthy
Taking risks and working hard to achieve success

Pabalo Picasso, Rothkos, Rilkes
Referencing famous artists and their work to showcase elegance and cultural knowledge

Graduated to the MoMA
Further showing appreciation and knowledge of art

And I did all of this, without a diploma
Showing success without a traditional education

Graduated from the corner, y'all can play me
Acknowledging origins and potential criticism

For a motherfuckin' fool if you wanna
Dismissing potential criticism or judgment

Street smart, and I'm book smart
Asserting intelligence in both practical and academic knowledge

Only thing that can stop me is me, and I'm a stop when the hook start, hold up
Recognizing that only personal weaknesses can hold back success, but being determined to continue regardless
