Girl's Best Friend

[Intro: Jay-Z]

Jigga Man, Swizz Beatz

History in the making, part three

Lights out, ladies!

[Chorus: Mashonda, (Jay-Z)]

C'mon here, baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)

Don't want nobody but you, my baby (And all my ladies sing)

Hold me tight and call me your lady (Say it louder)

Make me scream your name

C'mon here, baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)

Don't want nobody but you, my baby (And all my ladies sing)

Hold me tight and call me your lady

Make me scream your name

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]

I took ya outta Jacob's in clusters

Busters they wanted to rush us

Love the way you sparkle when the sun touch ya

When you blush you turn blue, if your grade is right

You can light up the whole room, turning day from night

When the summertime is in and the tops are down

With you around my neck, we lock the whole block down (That's right)

It took short sleeves and lounging to understand

The reason they call you ice, everybody freeze

Ain't a pendant in the sun who can shine like you

And that platinum in the charm, who can blind like you?

The direct reason why niggas do they crimes they do

I used to snatch the necklace right off them reckless fools

Guess I was jealous that they was so next to you

So I devoted half my time to invest in you

The other half was spent on protecting you

'Cause you belong to me, now sing ya song for me

C'mon

[Chorus: Mashonda, (Jay-Z)]

C'mon here, baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)

Don't want nobody but you, my baby (And all my ladies sing)

Hold me tight and call me your lady (Say it louder)

Make me scream your name

C'mon here, baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)

Don't want nobody but you, my baby (And all my ladies sing)

Hold me tight and call me your lady

Make me scream your name

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]

I'm often with you, so they wonder 'bout the juice I got

I took you from the projects and an abusive pops

From the bottom to the top

The skateboard to the drop

From the nada to the Prada

I got ya like I got ya

From the first time I put you 'round my neck and locked ya

It was then I knew, everywhere I went you'd follow

Soon I spent every dollar, you became my habit

Other brothers' vice was smoke, mines was carats

The more checks I got, the more I laced my crew

The rocks got bigger, watch face got blue

Tricked a little bit, shit, I lace my boo

Fuck it, my mistress, I laced her too

Cop my jewels twice, like déjà vu

If they ever met in the mall, it was over, y'all

Just the way I do, and either way you win

I mean the thugs love ya when you're girl's best friend

[Chorus: Mashonda, (Jay-Z)]

C'mon here, baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)

Don't want nobody but you, my baby (And all my ladies sing)

Hold me tight and call me your lady (Say it louder)

Make me scream your name

C'mon here, baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)

Don't want nobody but you, my baby (And all my ladies sing)

Hold me tight and call me your lady

Make me scream your name

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

In the wedding band you love, in the gold chain you thug

Sometimes you given just because

And the tennis bracelet means they want relations

Know that they wanna fuck, the only reason they give you up

In the hands of gold diggers, ya never enough

Rings, things, just never enough

But me and you together gon' shine to the end

I mean the thugs love ya, but ya girl's best friend

[Chorus: Mashonda, (Jay-Z)]

C'mon here, baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)

Don't want nobody but you, my baby (And all my ladies sing)

Hold me tight and call me your lady (Say it louder)

Make me scream your name

C'mon here, baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)

Don't want nobody but you, my baby (And all my ladies sing)

Hold me tight and call me your lady

Make me scream your name

C'mon here, baby, you drive me crazy

Don't want nobody but you, my baby

Hold me tight and call me your lady

Make me scream your name
