It’s Alright

Lyrics

[Intro: Jay-Z] Uh-huh uh-huh, UH! [Chorus: Jay-Z] Bounce if you wanna bounce (right), ball if you wanna ball (right) Play if you wanna play, floss if you wanna floss It's alright, you heard? It's alright, Holla back We can ill if you wanna ill, smoke if you wanna smoke Kill if you wanna kill, loc if you wanna loc It's alright, you heard? It's alright, yeah yeah [Verse 1: Jay-Z] Beitch.. I need a ho in my life to blow on my dice So we can make our points twice and skate out of town I need that glow in my ice, E-Class Ladies screamin' Jigga, you know we needs that, flowin' out like "Jees-ass" They ain't seein' me holdin' the mic So when you like, you find MC's so impolite And me? I'm so into nice, got cats on the corner like "Don't me and Jigga be flowin' alike?" Nah, not in your life, ain't nobody poppin' like Mr. Jay-Z, shit you're crazy I'm hot like the 6 Navi', deep dish with the gray seats I flow greater than your Navigator I drop through your town, block the date up Pimps all comin' through with a hot pair of gators And a crew with–rocks that're the size of craters Can't be touched like hot potatoes, ya heard? [Chorus: Jay-Z, (Memphis Bleek)] Now we can bounce if you wanna bounce, ball if you wanna ball Play if you wanna play, floss if you wanna floss It's alright, you heard? It's alright, holla back We can ill if you wanna ill, smoke if you wanna smoke Kill if you wanna kill, loc if you wanna loc It's alright (YEAH), you heard? It's alright, holla back [Verse 2: Memphis Bleek] In the middle of a war, rockin' a vest Who's the illest shorty alive? (Who?) – I confess I take lye to the chest, and I swear to the heaven skies, I bless The mics until the day I rest To make you feel what I feel, I'ma try my best And if you real like I real, You can provide the rest Everything left out, you can blame it on the brain, not the heart I'm playing my part, stressed out, just about the best out Any nigga realer than me, is in a mess hall with their chest out Any rapper with less clout, sell more records than me? We extort 'em as soon as they record 'em – Bleek I made this clear, back when shorty used to braid my hair On the project stairs, once I drop to a Caesar, "Ma, I don't need ya" From the block to the hot two-seaters, ya heard? [Chorus: Jay-Z, (Memphis Bleek)] Gyeah, now we can – Bounce if you wanna bounce, ball if you wanna ball Play if you wanna play, floss if you wanna floss It's alright, you heard? It's alright, holla back We can ill if you wanna ill, smoke if you wanna smoke Kill if you wanna kill, loc if you wanna loc It's alright (YEAH), you heard? It's alright [Verse 3: Jay-Z] Check – on the jew-els, I blew more money than Latrell, who else? They don't know you, think they know you too well You jel like Flubber I hover above the city in a private jet, the livest set Press your brakes, Feds wanna investigate Mr. "I don't cop nothing less than eight" And anything involved with my name, regardless of the fame It's hard, I can't even walk through Harlem again Charge it to the game, I'm platinum like American Express My boy died, and all I did was inherit his stress To make every jam tougher; you ain't my man, fuck ya I should just let you live, right? Negative, I swear It's dough or die, I hope your soul provides you with an afterlife Close your casket tight Take your last two deep breaths, and pass the mic – To Jay-Z, nigga, that's right! [Chorus: Jay-Z] Now we can bounce if you wanna bounce, ball if you wanna ball Play if you wanna play, floss if you wanna floss It's alright, you heard? It's alright, holla back We can ill if you wanna ill, smoke if you wanna smoke Kill if you wanna kill, loc if you wanna loc It's alright, you heard? It's alright, holla back We can bounce if you wanna bounce, ball if you wanna ball Play if you wanna play, floss if you wanna floss It's alright, you heard? It's alright We can ill if you wanna ill, smoke if you wanna smoke Kill if you wanna kill, loc if you wanna loc It's alright, you heard me? It's alright, then holla back
