Written by：Shawn Carter/Chuck Stanton/Theron Otis Feemster

Can you hear me now good blueprint 2 baby

The best of times it was the worst of times aoww

It's the gift the curse

R o c yeah number one clique here

If you represent us throw them diamonds up yeah

Now let's be clear I ain't goin nowhere

Now that you know holla at your boy

Hov' hov' hov' hov'

Hov' hov' hov' hov'

Overlapping first hook

Yeah roc a fella records

You know what diamond is

We ain't goin nowhere put your diamonds up

Standin in my b boy stance

Free beans memphis where you at ni**a

Right here snatch cam and it's a wrap

This here rap belong to us nobody strong as us it's a fact

Hold up I'm just warmin up gimme a second to get it back

Young chris neef what oschino and sparks

Next summer's yo' summer tear this motherf**ker up

Young is eternal my young'uns'll burn you

The blueprint birthed ni**a I earthed you you can't be serious

Young cause I'm thirty two dressed like I'm twenty two

Flow like a 18 do what I wanna do

Goin on my 8 th ring got phil jackson's zen

Flow is black magic I'm at it again

Rose gold with black karats horse carriage to spend

Like mason betha chasing this cheddar to the end

Of the road because the end I'm told is nearer than we know

What can I say but live for today hov'

R o c yeah number one clique here

If you represent us throw them diamonds up yeah

Now let's be clear I ain't goin nowhere

Now that you know holla at your boy

Yeah the blueprint 2 homey follow the moves

You put on two tube socks you couldn't walk in my shoes

I was dealt a bad hand f**k what else could I do

But keep somethin up my sleeve that'll help me through

But can you believe everywhere I'm at models come through

Cat fightin cat walkin it happens often

It's true how society don't want me to move

Into the penthouse building with spectacular views

They're like uhh he's a menace he could never be a tenant

I'm like ooh what's a young ni**a to do

I bring the brothers to the building give a feeling that I don't

Give a f**k we just chillin watchin chandelier ceilings high as f**k

Old lady don't blow my high

'Specially if you don't know my life don't make me bring

Sharpton in it cause I'm dark skinneded or

Dude with the 'fro and the rainbow coalition I'mma

Victim of a single parent household born in a mousehole

Mousetrap niggas wanna know

How so how jay get up out that here yeah

I snatched purses I per se vered yeah

I had work fiends purchased it was clear

I was out there sellin hope for despair but stop there

I swear I only make good from my mouth to god's ears

Had to get out the hood

And I can't justify genocide

But I was born in the city where the skinny niggas die

Born in the city where the skinny niggas ride

And as a skinny ni**a I had beef with high size

R o c yeah number one clique here

If you represent us throw them diamonds up yeah

Now let's be clear I ain't goin nowhere

Now that you know holla at your boy

Hov' hov' hov' hov'

Hov' hov' hov' hov'
