A-Z Lyrics Universe
Yeah...
Come experience... life as we know it
As some of you should know it, yeah, yeah
Place, Marcy, Brooklyn
Actions... well, y'all know the actions
Uh, I got this shorty on my block always clockin my rocks
He likes the style and profile I think he wanna mock
He likes the way I walk, he sees my money talkin'
To honies hawkin I'm the hottest nigga in New York and
I see his hunger pains, I know his blood boils
He wanna, run with me, I know this kid'll be loyal
I watched him make a few ends, to cop his little sneakers and gear
Then it's just enough for re-up again
I see myself in his eyes, I moved from Levi's
To Guess to Versace, now it's diamonds like Liberace
That's just the natural cycle, nobody wanna be like Michael
Where I'm from, just them niggaz who banned from a gun
We out here trying to make hard white into cohhhhld green
I can help shorty blow out like Afro-Sheen
Plus I can relive my days of youth which is gone
That little nigga's peeps, it's time to put him on
Chorus: Jay-Z and Memphis Bleek
It's time to come up (and hold my own weight, defend my crown)
Gots to lock it down and when they rush (stand my ground)
It's time to come up (stick up my chest, and make some loot)
Gots to lock it down and when they rush (stand on my own two)
(Memphis Bleek)
I'm out here slingin bringin' the drama, tryin' to come up
In the game and add a couple of dollar signs to my name
I'm out here servin' disturbin the peace, life could be better
Like my man reclined in plush leather seats
He's sellin weight, I'm sellin eight... balls
Sixteen tryin' to graduate to pushin quarters y'all
I ain't gon' sweat him I'ma let him come to me
If he give me the nod then these niggaz gon' see
I'm tired of bein out here round the clock
And breakin day, and chasin crackers up the block for my pay
I'm stayin fresh, so chickens check
I'm tryin' to step up to the next level, pushin Vettes to the Jets
Diamonds reflect from the sun, directly in your equilibirum
And stunned I'm waitin for my day to come
I got the urge, to splurge, I don't wanna lifetime sentence
Just give me the word
[JZ] Hey fella I been watchin you clockin
[MB] Who me holdin' down this block it ain't nothin'
You the man nigga now stop frontin
[JZ] Hahah I like your style
[MB] Nah, I like YO' style
[JZ] Let's drive around awhile
[MB] Cool nigga
[JZ] Here's a thou'
[MB] A G? I ride witchu for free
I want the longterm riches and bitches
[JZ] Have it all; now listen to me
You let them other niggaz get the name, skip the fame
Ten thou' or a hundred G keep yo' shit the same
[MB] On the low?
[JZ] Yeah, the only way to blow
You let your shit bubble quietly
[Mb] and then you blow!
[JZ] Hey keep your cool
The only way to peep a fool is let him show his hand
Then you play your cards
[MB] Then he through dealin' I understand
[JZ] Don't blow your dough on hotties
[MB] The only thing I got in this world is my word and my nuts
And won't break 'em for nobody!
[JZ] Hah, I like your resume, pick a day, you can start
[MB] From now until death do us part...

EDITORS’ NOTES
On his debut, JAY Z is half hustler, all storyteller: There are the tales of drug dealers trying to make good while still wrecked by paranoia, such as “Friend or Foe.” But Jay also shows considerable lyrical muscle on “22 Two’s,” effortlessly stacking rhymes that reference the number two 22 times. On “Brooklyn’s Finest,” the album’s highlight, he trades rapid-fire bars with the then-king of New York, Biggie Smalls. The song is a lyrical tug-of-war, leaving no doubt that Jay has arrived.

Ratings and Reviews
Jay-Z One Of The Greatest.
If Jay could ever get back to the rawness and incredible talent that he had when he released this album then i could say without question that he's the greatest but he still has to proove that he's better then tupac and Biggie or even such mc's as Talib Kweli then i could say he's the greatest. But anyways this is a great cd and anyone who likes pure hip-hop should give it a try.
Amazing
This album is the greatest Jay-Z album ever released. Didn't dumb down a single song for more money or radio play. The lyrics in almost every song are amazing!
Jay Z Reasonable Doubt Lyrics
Classic
This is forsure hov's best album, lyrically he kills it and this is def up in the best rap albums of all time
... presidents to represent me (Roc)
Im out for presidents to represent me (Uh. Roc-a-fella y'all)
Im out for presidents to represent me
Im out for presidents to represent me
[Verse I:]
Who wanna bet us that we don't touch lettuce,
stack cheddars forever,
live treacherous, all the etceteras,
to the death of us, me and my confidants
we shine, you feel the ambiance
y'all niggas just rhyme,
by the ounce doe accumulates like snow,
we dont just shine, we illuminate the whole show,
ya feel me?,
factions from the other side would love to kill me,
spill 3 quarts of my blood into the street, let alone the heat,
fuck em, they hate a nigga lovin his life,
in all possible ways, know the feds is buggin my life,
hospital days, reflectin with my man laid up,
on a uptown hot block, he got his side sprayed up,
I saw his life slippin, this is a minor setback,
yo still in all we livin, just dream about the getback,
that made him smile though his eye said 'pray for me',
I'll do you one better and slay these niggas faithfully,
murder is a tough thing to digest, its a slow process,
and I aint got nothing but time,
I had near brushes, not to mention,
3 shots close range, never touched me,
divine intervention cant stop I,
from drinking mataje, with tata, down in nevada, ha ha pa pa,
word life, by dabbling crazy weight,
without rap I was crazy straight,
partna I'm still spending money from '88 whhhaattt!!!
[Chorus:]
Im out for presidents to represent me
Im out for presidents to represent me
Im out for presidents to represent me
Im out for presidents to represent me
[Verse II:]
You know what?
I'll make, you and your wack mans,
fold like bad hands, roll like monopoly,
advance, youre coppin me like, white crystal,
I gross the most at the end of the fiscal year
than these niggas could wish to,
the dead presidential, candidate
with the sprinkles, and the presidential ice,
that'll offend you,
in due time, when crime flees my mind,
all sneak thieves and playa haters could shine,
but until then, I keep the trillion cut diamond shining brilliant,
I'll tell you half the story, the rest you fill it in,
long as the villain win, I spend Japan Yen at 10 major events,
catch me in the joints, convinced my iguanas is bitin,
J-A-Y hyphen, controlling, manipulating, I got a good life man,
pounds and plants, nuff dollars make sense,
while you ride the bench,
catch me swinging for the fence, dead presidents ya know
[Chorus:]
[Verse III:]
So be it,
the soviet, the unified steady flow,
you already know, you light, I'm heavy roll, heavy doe,
mic macheted ya flow,
your paper falls slow like confetti, mine are steady grow,
perricooooo (cocaine),
paid 5 debit for blow, better believe I have 11 60 to show,
my doe flip like tae-kwon, Jay Z the icon,
maybe you like dom, maybe the kristal will change ya life huh?,
roll with the winners, heavy spinners like hit records,
roc-a-fella, dont get it corrected, this shit is perfected,
from chips to chicks to scribbin a lexus,
naked without ya gun, we takin everything ya brung,
we cakin, ya'll niggas is fakin, we gettin it done,
crime family, well connected Jay Z and you,
fake thugs is unplugged like MTV,
y'all MP3, take your treasure, my pleasure,
dead presidentials, politics as usual, booow
[Chorus]
