Lyrics

[Intro: Jay-Z] Dig a hole, bury yourself, nigga!Go head! Keep goin'!I got some nice dresses for you guysThe incomparable H.O. [Chorus: Sterling Simms & Jay-Z ] Told ya to get ya money when you see a boss comin' (Yes)Thought shit was funny, but watch what you see now (What you see now?)Nothin’ left to accomplish, I done came out and conquered (Came, conquered)And now what’s that you talking 'bout? We gon' see now (We gon' see now)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Go ahead)Dig a hole (Muthafucka, bury yourself)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Dig a hole) [Verse 1: Jay-Z] I’m still here, mon frére! I know the cross I bear They like, “That’s why they call you Hov” I’m like, “Yeah” I’m like air, lil' shots go through meWon’t tear one tissue, no tears, no tissue, not an issueDon’t cry for me I peep these niggas from deepGot a front row seat, even if you don’t speakSilent partner, I hear you loud and clearLeft a fingerprint, you ain’t gotta be there I’m just waiting til’ you dig a hole big enough to put your whole body inThen I’m gon' body them It's nothing but a hobby to himSimple as a serve in volley to him Niggas like, “Hov, why don’t you get at ol’ boy?”Why kill a puppet and leave Geppetto alive?Why not wait to catch them all together? That’s why you dig one big hole, one time [Chorus: Sterling Simms & Jay-Z ] Told ya to get ya money when you see a boss comin'Thought shit was funny, but watch what you see now (What you see now?)Nothin’ left to accomplish, I done came out and conqueredAnd now what’s that you talking 'bout? We gon' see now (Uh! We gon' see now)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Go ahead, bury yourself)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Go ahead) [Verse 2: Jay-Z] How is niggas dissin' me?I made it possible for niggas to make historyHow is this possible? Please explain this shit to me How is it logical? Have we forgotten our history?Let’s open our bibles It's like the disciples, dissing Jesus, and becoming his rivalsShunning the one thing that they owe they life toYou let that man hype you to go against your idolKnowing good and goddamn well this what I do Think I’m in the office, I’m off my grind?That’s how kids become orphans – you lost ya mind? I keep my enemies close I give ‘em enough ropeThey put themselves in the airI just kick away the chair [Chorus: Sterling Simms & Jay-Z ] Told ya to get ya money when you see a boss comin' (Uh, uh, uh!)Thought shit was funny, but watch what you see now (What you see now?)Nothin’ left to accomplish, I done came out and conquered (Uh-huh)And now what’s that you talking 'bout? We gon' see now (We gon' see now)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Go ahead, bury yourself)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Go ahead, bury yourself) [Verse 3: Jay-Z] Hov gon' get you, I ain’t forget your lil' disrespect No, ho – daddy gon' spank you for that shit you said It's hard to do when you’ve got nothing to proveEverybody know you better, you in a lose-lose'Cause even when you win, ultimately you loseReal niggas like, “Why Hov talking to dude?” You sellin' in low 2's; only time you went PlatMy chain was on your neck, that’s an actual fact So I’m prayin' that it spills outside of the boothThat’s when ya'll niggas outside of your truthOutside of your league, that’s not what you doNiggas throwin' Roc signs outside of your Coupe Don’t look at Hov like he done something wrong to ‘em'Cause he’s on to 'emHe just took what belonged to him Niggas is playing checkers with chess-playing HovThis game is over, I don’t know if ya’ll knowYou in the hole [Chorus: Sterling Simms & Jay-Z ] Told ya to get ya money when you see a boss comin' (Uh, uh, uh!)Thought shit was funny, but watch what you see now (What you see now?)Nothin’ left to accomplish, I done came out and conquered (Uh-huh)And now what’s that you talking 'bout? We gon' see now (We gon' see now)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Go ahead, bury yourself)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Dig a hole)Dig a hole (Go ahead, bury yourself)
