Jay-Z Originators


(It is indeed a pleasure

To see so many Nubian faces

So many original faces here tonight)



[ Jaz ] Hey yo, what's up, Jay Zee?

[ Jay ] Yo, what's up, Jaz?

[ Jaz ] Ain't nothin

Just chillin, you know

A lotta fronters out there perpetratin

Tryin to rock a old trippin style

Youknowmsayin?

[ Jay ] We have none of that, alright?

Originators is here

[ Jaz ] Word up

Let me kick a little somethin

[ Jay ] Word up

[ Jaz ] Guess you'll tune in later, right?

[ Jay ] Yeah, but won't you

Kick, kick, kick it



[ VERSE 1: The Jaz ]

My rhymin and singin technique is applaudable

Livin in luxury, and it's affordable

No other brother is better than me, the J, the a, the z

The cream of the crop, and the top of the top

The suckers are tryin to stop

The biggeda-, the biggeda-, the boss of the hip-hop

Hop, they'll never come near

They'll never come here, no, not this year

They're growin in fear, I'm very sincere, I will jerk
tears

Operator pushin the data, I'm talkin bout info

And check it, you're still stumblin and bumblin off the
intro

So take it a step at a time, this dope rhyme

Be makin a note that it's refined by a skilled mind

This is a warning for biters

Stealers and robbers and sucker reciters

Call it a night, and before you roam

Don't try this at home

The style that I'm usin, I'm here to abuse

The garbage and junk I refuse

Divy it up, cause I'm here to collect my dues from all
of yous

This ain't no cartoon drama caper, pass the paper

Your mind's in a daze, higher than a skyscraper

I'm teachin and reachin and preachin

And showin and flowin and growin and blowin

The rest of the best right out of the box

I shoot the funky sweat socks

I obliterate and I devastate

You wanna go head to head

Rhymin until you fall dead?

Great, make it a date

Never a conflict or a debate, you're callin me sir, see

You sucker, you f..cker, you pussy, you wussy, nobody
can verse me

The Jaz is pushin the power

You two-bucks-an-hour

Unable, mentally unstable, to me you cower

You never can write a dope lyric to have an effect just
like this did

To be at the peak in the field of hip-hop, you only
wish, kid

And Jiggeda-Jay Zee, yo, yo, my partner

G-g-g-get on the mic, and cold start to



[ VERSE 2: Jay Zee ]

Wreckin and wreckin in seconds less than speeds of
light

So the miggeda-more that come, the miggeda-merrier,
right, right

Excitin the mic much to the delight of millions of
Nubians

And Amorites just can't understand the groove we're in

Cool, it might take a couple of takes for you to
clarify

Don't lie, you coulda never got in on the first try

But never to worry, I'm not in a hurry, take your time

Cause it's my rhyme, I siggeda-said so, and I'm J-a-y-
Z, y'all know me

I wish you co-write, cause you'd pay me all the rhymes
you stole from me

Leave you freeze in a minute, you gotta get in it
breathin

Only when it lets, no sweat, I stutter-step with ease,
and

Stop fakin, you're makin it, son

I'm breakin and breakin and breakin your tongue

Don't get caught perpetratin the cool ones

Figure we're bigger and badder and better, and baby,
let's face it

We bring havoc, flowin faster than rabbits, try to race
it

The lyrical miracle writer, flippin until it drives you

Crazy, seek spiritual help from Jaz and Jay Zee

Standin in awe, you saw the best of em all, the rest
will fall

Requestin for more, jaws stuck on the floor

These lyrics I pour, we saw, because we're greater

And we are the thiggida-thiggida-thiggida-the (the)
originators

Word



(Cure the blackman

And bring him back to the way he was

In his original state)



(Asalaam alaikum)(4x)



(To give power to the right to overcome bliss)



(It is indeed a pleasure

To see so many Nubian faces

So original faces here tonight)



(Asalaam alaikum)

Asalaam alaikum)

And bring him back to the way he was

In his original state)
