The Blueprint (Roc-A-Fella, 2001) by Jay-Z


"I know you missin all the - FAAAAAAAME!/But along with celebrity comes bout seventy shots to your frame/Nigga; you a - LAAAAAAAME!/You's the fag model for Karl Kani/Esco ads/Went from, Nasty Nas to Esco's trash/Had a spark when you started but now you're just garbage/Fell from top ten to not mentioned at all/To your bodyguard's "Oochie Wally" verse better than yours/Matter fact you had the worst flow on the whole fuckin' song/But I know - the sun don't shine, then son don't shine/That's why your - LAAAAAAAME! - career come to a end/There's only so long fake thugs can pretend/Nigga; you ain't live it you witnessed it from your folks pad/You scribbled in your notepad and created your life/I showed you your first tec on tour with Large Professor/(Me, that's who!) Then I heard your album bout your tec on the dresser/So yeah I sampled your voice, you was usin it wrong/You made it a hot line, I made it a hot song/And you ain't get a coin nigga you was gettin fucked and I know who I paid God, Serchlite Publishing/Use your - BRAAAAAAAIN!  You said you been in this ten/I've been in it five - smarten up Nas/Four albums in ten years nigga?  I can divide/That's one every let's say two, two of them shits was due/One was - NAHHH, the other was "Illmatic"/That's a one hot album every ten year average/And that's so - LAAAAAAAME!  Nigga switch up your flow/Your shit is garbage, but you try and kick knowledge?/(Get the fuck outta here) You niggas gon' learn to respect the king/Don't be the next contestant on that Summer Jam screen/Because you know who (who) did you know what (what)/with you know who (yeah) but just keep that between me and you for now"
-Jay-Z, "Takeover"
