Like That
KID Capri Feat. Jay-Z Lyrics

Yeah, uh-huh, watch this y'all
Pay attention, something incredible is about to happen

Uhh, watch this y'all
An emphasis on the previous line, get ready for what's coming

C'mon, Jigga, watch this y'all
A call for Jay-Z to pay attention, something amazing is about to happen

C'mon, Roc-A-Fella y'all..
A call for all the members of Roc-A-Fella records to pay attention, something important is about to happen

It's Kid Capri and Jay-Z, it's Jay-Z and Kid Capri
Introducing Kid Capri and Jay-Z as collaborators in this song

Cause I'm like that yo! I'm really like that
Affirming that the singer is confident, capable and powerful

As a young'un dumbin, gun in the waist
Recalling a time in the past when the singer was reckless and carried a gun

Sold crack to those who couldn't take the pain
Describing the artist's involvement in drug dealing to people who were hurting and vulnerable

And had to numb it with base
Explaining how drugs were used to cope with emotional pain

Couldn't drink the Henny straight, I needed somethin to chase
Admitting to alcohol use for numbing and needing something to sweeten the taste

Nowadays I throw shots back, leavin nuttin to waste
Describing a current situation where the singer is in control and wastes nothing

Life's like a treadmill, niggas runnin in place
Comparing life to running in place with no real progress

Gettin nowhere fast, a whole year done past
Reflecting on how time flies and how little has been achieved

I vowed to never stop winnin, 'til the earth stop spinnin
Making a commitment to continue succeeding and striving for greatness

Rock hot linen, cop hot cars and hot women
Desiring luxurious and attractive things as symbols of success

If it's not him then you got it confused, y'all not rememberin
Asserting that the artist is the one to remember and respect

My motto is simply I will not lose
Declaring a motivational mantra to never fail

Abide by the block rules, I buy my glocks used
Acknowledging the reality of street life but also being practical in gun purchasing

wit bodies on it, let me know anybody want it?
Boasting about having a weapon with previous use and daring anyone to challenge the singer

I'm raised, illrational, way misunderstood
Admitting to growing up in a tough environment and having a disposition that is often misunderstood

If you ain't live like I live, been one with the hood
Challenging anyone who hasn't experienced similar struggles to the artist

I done what I could, to come up with this paper 'til this day still
Working hard to make money and still continuing to do so

Run with the hood, guess it's part of my nature
Being loyal to one's community and realizing it's a part of who the singer is

If hell awaits a, nigga I'm comin with the razors
Being willing to fight and defend oneself, even against the worst possible outcome

Still flashin ya shit, try to pass me in a six
Being competitive and wanting to outdo others' displays of wealth and success

Type classy on the wrists, every bit of 30 karats
Referring to expensive jewelry with a hint of nobility

This is, not a game this is not why I came
Being serious and focused on achieving real results

May these words find a spot on your brain and burn
Expressing a desire to have impact and influence on the listener

Then I recycle my life I shall return
Suggesting that life and success are cyclical and can come back around

How tight is your flow?
Asking about the quality of one's rap delivery

Cause I'm like that yo
Being confident in one's own rap skills and abilities

How right is your dough?
Asking how much money someone has earned

How white is your blow?
Asking about the purity of cocaine

Only, write what you know
Encouraging authenticity in writing and rapping

I'm a hop skip and a jump from grippin the pump
Being close to escalating to physical violence

Spittin a couple of curse words, and hittin you chump
Using vulgar language and physically attacking someone

Shit, I get digits in lumps
Boasting about success with women and getting their phone numbers

I'm a motherfuckin problem, is this what you want?
Being confident in one's ability to cause trouble and challenging anyone who wants to mess with the singer

Overachiever, I love chicks that puff cheeba in reefer paper
Desiring women who smoke marijuana and being proud of overachieving in life

I hate the ones that blow up ya beeper
Disliking clingy and needy women

Cause I, go in ya deeper, I only bone divas
Being sexually confident and selective

Impregnate the world when I "cum" through your speakers [ha ha]
Having the power and impact to influence and change people's perspectives through music

Fuck hot, my records got the fever
Having popular and successful music

Niggas kick dirt, get ya whole block sweeped up
Expecting retaliation and violence from enemies

I creep up when the beef heats up
Being strategic and tactical in confrontations

Caught him with his feet up and shoes off, bout to snooze off
Taking advantage of someone who is off guard and vulnerable

Hatin, cause you can't turn the booze off
Jealousy and resentment towards those who can control their vices

You dudes is too soft, why I don't fuck with you all
Not respecting those who are weak and not tough

I might bark your ex, and spit at the locks
Threatening to vandalize and destroy someone's property

But, other than that, I don't be fuckin with cats
Not getting involved with people who are not worth the trouble

Just me Ty and B.I., thug it like that
Being loyal to a small group of people and sticking together

E, Dame and Biggs, what's fuckin with that?
Bringing up the names of important people in the artist's life and asserting their importance

Y'all can never diss Jigga, get nothin for that
Being untouchable and beyond criticism

Other than a couple of slugs in ya back [huh huh]
Being willing to cause harm and violence towards anyone who challenges the singer

Rappers y'all, runnin around like I won't gun ya down
Poking fun at rappers who talk about violence but are not really about that life

Last nigga that fronted, two shots spun him around
Recalling a time when the artist used violence against someone who challenged him

Lord, accept this offerin here's somethin for your crown
Acknowledging the artist's faith and offering up a tribute or prayer

I admit no malice, I just met his challenge and won
Not feeling bad or guilty for violence used in self-defense

Girls and guns, all I want
Expressing a love for women and weapons

stock exchange, rocks and thangs
Desiring wealth through investing and owning jewelry
