Jigga What/Faint
Jay Z - Linkin Park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't fuck with me
They ain't ready yet
Uh-huh uh-huh
Yeah, yeah
Motherfuckers want to act loco, hit em wit, numerous
Shots with the fo'-fo'
Fuck rap, coke by the boatload
Fuck dat, on the run-by, gun high, one eye closed
Left holes through some guy clothes
Stop your bullshitting, 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 bullet hit
And hey ma, how you, know niggas want to buy you
But see me I want to "Fuck for Free" like Akinyele
Take this ride 'til you feel it inside ya belly
If it's tight get the K-why 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
That's all I give cause you're all that I've got
Got a condo with nuttin' 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 flowing on my last cassette?
Rapid-fire like I'm blasting a Tec, never jam though
Never get high, never run out of ammo
Niggas hating n shit cause I slayed your bitch
You know your favorite, I know it made you sick
And now you're, acting raw but you never had war
Don't know how to carry your hoe, want to marry your hoe
Now she's mad at me, cause Your Majesty, just happened to be
A pimp with a tragedy
She wanted, us to end, cause I fucked her friend
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 un-confident
But you don't understand I do what I can
Sometimes I don't make sense
I am, what you never want to 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
But 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
Time won't heal this damage anymore
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
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored
"Jigga What/Faint" is a mashup of Jay Z's "Jigga What" and Linkin Park's "Faint". The lyrics depict Jay Z's attitude towards his enemies who can't match up to his level in the game. He brags about his skills and firepower and warns anyone who tries to mess with him. He also talks about his personal life, his lustful desires and his relationship with women, all of which contrasts with the emotional and vulnerable lyrics of Linkin Park's chorus.
The chorus talks about the singer's insecurities and the scars they carry. They express their desire for acceptance and for people to understand them. They plead with the listener to not turn their back on them and to acknowledge their pain. These lyrics provide a contrasting emotional depth to Jay Z's hardcore bars.
The mashup of these two contrasting styles of music was an experimental collaboration between Jay Z and Linkin Park. It was released in 2004 and became a massive hit, reaching the top of several music charts. The lyrics and beats of both songs blend seamlessly, creating a unique sound that transcends traditional genre boundaries.

Stop lying, I have a Glock with a full clip
Motherfuckers better duck when the fool spit
People better take cover and protect themselves when I start firing
One shot could make a nigga do a full flip

Witness the shock of someone who gets shot by me
And hey ma, how you, know niggas want to buy you

If it's too tight, use KY Jelly as a lubricant

I feel a bit lonely and unimportant
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
I have some complaints but I can't do anything about them

What I want you to want, what I want you to feel
I want you to feel and want the things I desire
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
It seems like no matter what I do, I can't make you believe me
To just believe this is real
To just believe that my feelings and desires are real

I have to let go and watch you walk away, like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
You turn your face away and pretend like I don't exist
That's all I give cause you're all that I've got
That's all I can give because you are all that I have
Got a condo with nuttin' but condoms in it
I have a condo with only condoms inside, ready for sex
The same place where the rhymes is invented
This is the same place where I create my rhymes and music
So all I do is rap and sex, imagine how I stroke
All I do is rap and have sex, just imagine how I perform in bed
See how I was flowing on my last cassette?
Listen to how great I was rapping on my last tape
Rapid-fire like I'm blasting a Tec, never jam though
My rapping is so smooth and fast, like I'm shooting a Tec-9 (gun) without jams
Never get high, never run out of ammo
I never run out of ammo (lyrics) and I never get high (on drugs)
Niggas hating n shit cause I slayed your bitch
Guys are mad and hating on me because I had sex with their girl
You know your favorite, I know it made you sick
I know I am your girl's favorite and it makes you angry
And now you're, acting raw but you never had war
You are acting tough but you never actually had a real fight
Don't know how to carry your hoe, want to marry your hoe
You don't know how to handle your girl, and you want to marry her
Now she's mad at me, cause Your Majesty, just happened to be
Now your girl is mad at me because I turned out to be a king in bed
A pimp with a tragedy
A pimp (player) with a sad situation
She wanted, us to end, cause I fucked her friend
She wanted to break up with me because I had sex with her friend
She gave me one more chance and I fucked her again
She gave me another chance, and I had sex with her again
I seen her tears as she busted in, I said, "Shit..
I saw her crying when she came inside, I said 'wow..'
There's a draft, shut the door bitch and come on in!"
It's cold outside, close the door and come inside, girl!
I am a little bit insecure, a little un-confident
I feel a little bit unsure of myself and unconfident
But you don't understand I do what I can
You don't understand that I am trying my best
Sometimes I don't make sense
Sometimes I say things that don't make sense
I am, what you never want to say, but I've never had a doubt
I am what you never want to admit, but I have never been unsure of myself
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear me out
No matter what I do, I can't seem to make you listen to me even once
So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do
So I, have to accept that you always turn your back on me, and let you go
You face away and pretend that I'm not
You turn your face away and pretend like I don't exist
But I'll be here cause you're all that I've got
But I'll be here because you are all that I have
I can't feel the way I did before
I can't feel the same way I used to feel
Don't turn your back on me
Don't ignore me and walk away
I won't be ignored
I won't go unnoticed and be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Time can't heal the pain and damage that has been done
Now hear me out now
Listen to me closely now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
You have no choice but to listen to me, whether you like it or not
Right now, hear me out now
Listen to me carefully right now
I can't feel (the way I did before
I can't feel the same way I used to feel
Don't turn your back on me) I won't be ignored
Don't ignore me and walk away, I won't let it happen
Time won't heal
The passage of time cannot heal
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored
Don't ignore me and turn your back on me, I won't let it happen
