[Intro: Big Jaz & Jay-Z] Know I do that Hell yeah, let's start from the top Need to just kill that shit You go first though, huh Go back! [Verse 1: Big Jaz] Don't know Karate, but I kick back like a 45-70 Givin' y'all niggas hell, enablin' me to live heavenly Hit y'all faggots with my worst, still never get the best of me Don't call me money 'less you invest in me I'm the answer, but you find time to question me Fine wines and dimes blessin' me Primetime professional over the bread like sesame Crime stressin', water testin' Got me arrested again, tested again Tryin' to swim with the whales Say you 'bout to blow with no wind in yo' sails Can't convince me, flinch or hench me My shit is cut and dry, motherfucker drench me I dare yo' chilly ass to the 9th degree There ain't been a true and livin' in your life since me Pinch me, you movin' backwards when I'm slo-mo My style'll bag a boy like a homo Into linen like Yoko Ono You can fry, so relax, no lie Power from bed eye, sendin' niggas beddy-bye why? My team in the Big East take down your whole wack conference Whole repertoire's pompous Know yo ass square walkin' 'round with a compass [Chorus: Tone Hooker & Sauce Money] Yo, now what we 'bout to do is put down Foundation When it's time to step it up We rise to the occasion But in order for you to put down foundation You gotta Stash your funds, then automatic cream grows sporadic [Verse 2: Jay-Z] Hey y'all, I used to wreck off, bust the TEC off Pop the cork off Moët off y'all, 3 quarters of the way Now that's history, pop Cristy 'til I'm pissy Jigga, who is he? How bad y'all wanna know? Stick my head out the V-twizzy, get busy Bust lead out, let the world feel the misery Goin' loco, elude po-po Prelude to a champion, competition Not for nothin', can't be none Limited edition, like the Lex with Coach leather 'Cept my approach is better, now or never However, y'all want it, the style forever 'Til it's redundant, Jigga! Me and my operation, run the New York night scene With one eye closed like Peter Gatien None of our foes have an idea, back in the days To fool the Feds used to run our clothes for years How can you possibly stop me? I'm approximately a million overhead, U.S. Dollars Product take cream like Juan Valdez We's Kodak, papa, see ya true co-lors [Chorus: Tone Hooker & Sauce Money] Yo, now what we 'bout to do is put down Foundation When it's time to step it up We rise to the occasion But in order for you to put down foundation You gotta Stash your funds, then automatic cream grows sporadic Yeah, we puttin' down foundation Now it's time to step it up So rise to the occasion But in order for you to put down foundation You gotta Stash your funds, then automatic cream grows sporadic, yeah [Verse 3: Sauce Money] Polish your wings for this fly shit Bed-Stuy do or die shit, this 325i shit!
