Jay Z - American Gangster Lyrics:
And you say New York City
Uh-huh, put your hands together
Young, uh-huh, yeah
Uh-huh, yes

I`m from the 80`s, home of the heroine
Error of the hustlers, uh the world is my custy
New Rich Porter, the way I flip quarters
Front on all these other rap artists, but me

Momma was a mink wearer, papa ran numbers
So it`s plain to see where my whole plan come from
American dream, I`m livin` the life still
The way I shine is like a zillion dollar light bill

Still I`m grindin`, army jacket linin`
40 below timbs on, gettin` my M`s on
My best friends gone, I seen bad days
Still find songs that I hear him on
Gettin` my Mary J. Blige `Reminisce` on
I hear his voice in my mind like ni**a live on

So I get on that fly s**t I been on
Spin on corners in Enzo with rims on
But for info, puffin` on endonesia
Give me amnesia

I ease up, that`s right
I`m high ni**a, I want the sky
The world when I`m done I`ma give it to my sons
Let `em live it up, split it up, switch it up, uh

Sixes kit it up, man I did it up, done
The rest of my belonging`s belong in the hall of fame
A list of hits next to all my names
I came

I want the sky, baby
I want the sky, baby

If the sky should fall and it all goes tomorrow
And they foreclose on the house and auction off all my cars
Don`t cry for me Argentina, I mobbed in the beamer
Took trips abroad, got mobbed in Sardinia

In Ibiza I had pizza in the club
Ladies know I`m that guy, they wanna piece of my love
Now they wanna ya boy like Mike in his prime
Billie Jean, the goddamn boy ain`t mine

And the Roc break up had the people losin` hope
Can`t lie, they had Muhammad Hovi on the ropes
Now I`m back in the go mode, back in the go-go`s
Throwin` the diamond up, reppin` the logo
Rose gold rose flow, I`m okay though
What don`t kill me makes stronger than before so

Here we go and I`m not domino
When it all falls down, I`m like Kanye`s jaw
I might break but I don`t fold
Till I hold the sky in my hand
Yeah, that`s my goal

And then I bid you Freddy Adu
Prodigal Child, y`all not ready for the future
Then I disappear in the Bermuda Triangle
My name will be viewed such
Here`s to the man that refused to give up
I want the sky ni**a, chuch

I want the sky, baby
I want the sky, baby
