Jay - Z/Linkin Park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh-huh uh-huh, jigga who
Uh-huh uh-huh, jigga what
Uh-huh uh-huh, jigga who
Uh-huh uh-huh, jigga what
You gon' need a vocalin right?
Yeah
Numerous shots with the fo'-fo'
Faggots wanna talk to Po-Po's, smoke 'em like cocoa
Fuck rap, coke by the boatload
Fuck that, on the run-by, gun high, one eye closed
Left holes through some guy clothes
Stop your bullshittin, Glock with the full clip
Motherfuckers better duck when the fool spit
One shot could make a nigga do a full flip
See the nigga laying shocked when the fool hit
Hey ma, how you, know niggas wanna buy you
But see me I wanna "Fuck for Free" like Akinyele
Take this ride, make you feel it inside your belly
If it's tight get the K-Y Jelly
All night get you wide up inside the telly
Side to side, til you say Jay-Z you're too much for me
I am, a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everybody can see these scars
I am, what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So I, let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause you're all that I've got
Got a condo with nothin' but condoms in it
The same place where the rhymes is invented
So all I do is rap and sex, imagine how I stroke
See how I was flowin' on my last cassette?
Rapid-fire like I'm blastin' a Tec, never jam though
Never get high, never run out of ammo
Niggas hatin' the shit cause I slayed your bitch
You know your favorite, I know it made you sick
And now you're, actin raw but you never had war
Don't know how to carry your hoes, wanna marry your ho
Now she's mad at me cause Your Majesty
Just happened to be a pimp, what a tragedy
She wanted, us to end, cause I fucked with friends
She gave me one more chance and I fucked her again
I seen her tears as she busted in, I said, "Shit
There's a draft, shut the door bitch and come on in!"
I am, a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
Cause you don't understand I do what I can
Sometimes I don't make sense
I am, what you never wanna say, but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear me out
So I, let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
You face away and pretend that I'm not
I'll be here cause you're all that I've got
I can't feel, the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal, this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Now, hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now, hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now
I can't feel, the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I can't feel, the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal, this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I can't feel
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't tell
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
The song Jigga What/Faint by Jay-Z and Linkin Park combines two songs into one, with each artist taking turns rapping and singing over a shared beat. The lyrics are full of bravado and aggression, with Jay-Z boasting about his success in the music industry and threatening his enemies with violence. Meanwhile, Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington sings about his own insecurities and frustrations, urging the listener to pay attention to him and not turn their back.
The chorus repeats the phrases "jigga what" and "jigga who," which are slang terms for Jay-Z's stage name. The verses that follow are filled with vivid descriptions of violent acts, such as shooting someone with a gun or smoking them like cocoa (a reference to the drug cocaine). Jay-Z also brags about his sexual prowess and his ability to manipulate women.
Chester's vocals offer a stark contrast to Jay-Z's aggressive verses. He sings about feeling lonely, insecure, and misunderstood, and how he struggles to be heard and understood by others. The song's bridge features Chester pleading for the listener to listen to him and not turn their back on him, as he won't be ignored.
Overall, the lyrics of Jigga What/Faint showcase the two artists' different styles and approaches to music. Jay-Z's lyrics are confident and confrontational, while Chester's are vulnerable and introspective. However, the shared beat and complementary melodies help meld the two styles together seamlessly.

Uh-huh uh-huh, jigga what
An introduction to a statement or question that demands attention and recognition
Motherfuckers wanna act loco, hit 'em up
When someone acts out of line or behaves erratically, they need to be given a dose of reality
Fuck rap, coke by the boatload
I don't care about music or fame, I'm focused on making money through drug deals
See the nigga laying shocked when the fool hit
Witness the victim lying on the ground in disbelief after being shot by me
Hey ma, how you, know niggas wanna buy you
Excuse me, miss, you are aware there are men who desire your company?
I am, a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
I contain feelings of isolation and neglect, a handful of grievances that make me who I am
So I, let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
I release my grip, observing you abandon me in the same fashion as always
Got a condo with nothin' but condoms in it
My property is a place of sexual activity, with only contraception on hand
Niggas hatin' the shit cause I slayed your bitch
My adversaries are upset because I had sexual relations with their significant others
I am, a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
I possess feelings of self-doubt and lack of certainty, which makes it difficult for me to convey myself effectively
I can't feel, the way I did before
I am unable to experience emotions or sensations as I did previously
Now, hear me out now
Listen carefully to what I am about to say
Time won't heal, this damage anymore
The passage of time will not undo the harm that has been inflicted

It was this colab alone that made me appreciate both genres of music and all other sub genres that have branched from them. Mashup of that decade of music.
