[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
