Dirt Off Your Shoulder
Kazet/Wezyr ft. Jay-Z Lyrics

You're now tuned into the mu'fuckin greatest
Welcome to the show by one of the best rappers of our time

Turn the music up in the headphones
Increase the volume for an immersive experience

If you feelin' like a pimp nigga, go and brush your shoulders off
Be proud of yourself and show it by brushing imaginary dirt off your shoulders

Ladies is pimps too, gon' brush your shoulders off
Women should also be proud and show it by brushing imaginary dirt off their shoulders

Niggas is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you
Some men can be irrational and unpredictable, so be cautious

Get, that, dirt off your shoulder
Do away with the negativity and move forward

I probably owe it to y'all, proud to be locked by the force
I am grateful for my success and appreciate the support of my fans

Tryin' to hustle some things, that go with the Porsche
Working hard to afford the luxurious lifestyle that comes with a Porsche car

Feelin' no remorse, feelin' like my hand was forced
No regrets for doing what is necessary to achieve success

Middle finger to the Lord, nigga grip I'm a boss
Not dependent on anyone else, in control of my own destiny

Stab the ladies they love me, from the bleachers they screamin'
Women are attracted to my charisma and talent

All the ballers is bouncin' they like the way I be leanin'
Athletic and wealthy men admire my style and swag

All the rappers be hatin', off the track that I'm makin'
Other artists are jealous of my success in the music industry

But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us make it
People who work hard and come from humble beginnings celebrate my success

Came from the bottom the bottom, to the top of the pots
Started from nothing and worked hard to achieve great success

Nigga London, Japan and I'm straight off the block
My success has taken me around the world, but I haven't forgotten my roots

Like a running back, get it man, I'm straight off the block
Moving forward with determination and grit, just like a football player

I can run it back nigga cause I'm straight with the Roc
Referring to Jay-Z's record label, Roc-A-Fella Records, and his ability to achieve success again and again

Your homey Hov' in position, in the kitchen with soda
Jay-Z is in control of his business, possibly referring to dealing drugs

I just whipped up a watch, tryin' to get me a Rover
Jay-Z has the ability to make quick cash and afford an expensive car like a Range Rover

Tryin' to stretch out the coca, like a wrestler, yessir
Jay-Z is trying to make the most profit from his drug dealing business, like a wrestler trying to stretch their opponent's body

Keep the Heckler close, you know them smokers'll test ya
Carrying a gun for protection is necessary in the drug dealing business

But like, fifty-two cards when I'm, I'm through dealin'
Jay-Z is done with illegal activities and is moving on to a new chapter

Now fifty-two bars come out, now you feel 'em
Jay-Z is now focused on his music and is putting out powerful lyrics

Now, fifty-two cars roll out, remove ceiling
Jay-Z is doing well enough financially to afford luxurious cars with retractable roofs

In case fifty-two broads come out, now you chillin'
Jay-Z is now surrounded by beautiful women and enjoying the fruits of his labor

With a boss bitch of course S.C. on the sleeve
Jay-Z is dressed well, with a shirt or jacket with the letters 'S.C.', possibly referring to his old nickname 'Jazzy'

At the 40/40 club, ESPN on the screen
Jay-Z owns a club called 40/40 and they are playing sports highlights on the TVs

I paid a grip for the jeans, plus the slippers is clean
Jay-Z spent a lot of money on his expensive clothes and shoes

No chrome on the wheels, I'm a grown-up for real
Jay-Z prefers a more mature and understated style, without flashy car rims

Your boy back in the building, Brooklyn we back on the map
Jay-Z has returned to his hometown of Brooklyn and is putting it back on the map

Me and my beautiful bitch in the back of that 'Bach
Jay-Z and his partner, Beyonce, are enjoying a ride in a Mercedes-Benz 'Bach' car

I'm the realest that run it, I just happen to rap
Jay-Z is authentic and true to himself, not just a performer

I ain't gotta clap at 'em, niggas scared of that black
Jay-Z doesn't need to use a gun, as others fear his power and success as a black man

I drop that "Black Album" then I back, out it
Jay-Z released a highly acclaimed album called 'The Black Album' and then took a break from music

As the best rapper alive nigga ask about me
Jay-Z considers himself the best rapper alive and others would agree

From Bricks to Billboards, from grams to Grammy's
Jay-Z moved from drug dealing to becoming a highly successful music artist

The O's to opposite, Orphan Annie
Jay-Z went from selling drugs (with the letter O being a symbol for an ounce) to being a highly respected public figure

You gotta pardon Jay, for sellin' out the Garden in a day
Jay-Z sold out Madison Square Garden in one day, a great achievement

I'm like a young Marvin in his hey'
Jay-Z is comparing himself to Marvin Gaye, a highly respected musician

I'm a hustler homey, you a customer crony
Jay-Z is a hard worker and successful businessman, while others are just customers

Got some, dirt on my shoulder, could you brush it off for me?
Asking for help to overcome obstacles and move forward

You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
Keep moving forward and overcoming obstacles

You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
Keep moving forward and overcoming obstacles

You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
Keep moving forward and overcoming obstacles

You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
Keep moving forward and overcoming obstacles
