Mýa feat. JAY Z Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell Stout to holla at me man
Uh, young Hova, you heard
Trackmasters you heard
Yo, yes y'all, Jigga man be ballin'
Leave chicks pigeon-toed, some of them be crawlin'
Get the best of you whenever I put my all in
Jigga in call and ass drop
Coupes with half the top, dispose half my knot
N**** mad when I brag about the cash I got
But I'm used to not havin' a lot
I'm from the gutter and uh
I ain't the type to ever chase your boss
I'm the type to interior decorate the watch
I'm the type to sling heavy weight on the block
In every state and block, word, Jigga's the hurt holla
Your lips are telling me yes, while you're kissin' on my neck
Makin' me feel so, should I stay, should I go, I don't know
Your hot boy style drives me wild
But in the back of mind I know
Even though I wanna see
How you put that thang on me
I can't let you get
The best of me
Even though I wanna see
How you put that thang on me
I can't let you get
The best of me
The best of me
The best of me
Conversation ain't what, big thighs got you stuck
Feelings startin' to show, should I stay, should I go, I don't know
You're drivin' me crazy, I wanna be your lady
But I got a man at home
Even though I wanna see
How you put that thang on me
I can't let you get
The best of me
Even though I wanna see
How you put that thang on me
I can't let you get
The best of me
The best of me
The best of me, oh oh
5-4-3-2-1
Carolina blue kicks, hottest n**** on the block
Used to Willie bicycle since I was 6, uh
High school crossover, wave to wave picks
Music ain't the same shit, gave away hits
So ma get it together or forget it forever
When I go at you hard I can get it through leather
You act like Jigga can't get at whoever
Talkin' you got a man, okay ma and
That's high school, makin' me chase you 'round for months
Have an affair, act like an adult for once
Plus my hand is up your skirt, god**** you flirt
What's a little me on top gon' hurt, maybe a little but
Pain is pleasure and pressure bust pipes
And you look like the "I-Like-It-Rough" type
We can crush tonight, tell me what you like
I got a yellow bottle on a bucket of ice, get right (Young Hova)
Even though I wanna see
How you put that thang on me
I can't let you get
The best of me
Even though I wanna see
How you put that thang on me
I can't let you get
The best of me
Make it hot, make it hot, make it hot

The lyrics of Mýa feat. JAY Z's song Best of Me revolve around Jay Z's portrayal of himself as an accomplished rapper who is desirable to many women, despite having come from humble beginnings. He describes his confidence and skill at making women fall for him but also confronts the challenge of cheating on his partner. The chorus sung by Mýa refers to her struggle to resist Jay Z's advances and not let him get the best of her.
Jay Z's verses are filled with boasting about his success and achievements, which he contrasts with his experience growing up in a difficult environment. He also addresses the common criticism that he focuses too much on material wealth and flaunts his riches, arguing that he worked hard for his money and is proud to show it off. Despite his arrogance, he admits that he is not the type to chase after women and instead prefers to decorate his watch or sell drugs on the streets. However, when he meets someone he desires, he does not hesitate to pursue them recklessly, even if it means jeopardizing his current relationship.
Throughout the song, Jay Z and Mýa share their conflicting desires and feelings, creating a dynamic of attraction and tension. The lyrics are full of vivid metaphors and slang that showcase the artists' unique vocal styles and musical backgrounds.

Matthew 5:13-16 King James Version (KJV)
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
