JAY-Z Reportedly Wants Travis Scott to Back Out of Super Bowl Halftime Show

Assortment reports that JAY-Z is encouraging Travis Scott to haul out of a Super Bowl execution close by Maroon 5.

In the event that you missed it, the Astroworld rapper was labeled to perform close by Adam Levine's some way or another as yet hitmaking band at the up and coming Super Bowl. While much more rappers are being considered for the display in Atlanta on February 3, 2019, Scott has all the earmarks of being the main affirmed act other than Maroon 5.

This purportedly doesn't sit well with Jigga, who has been profoundly reproachful of the NFL and the manner in which that it has taken care of the issue of progressing player challenges police ruthlessness. Jay has been a vocal supporter of Colin Kaepernick, the previous 49ers quarterback who kickstarted the development and has been successfully debased by the alliance for his inconveniences.

Jay isn't the first to censure the possibility of Scott playing at the Super Bowl. Submissive Mill reminded Scott that the group needs him more than he needs the class in a progression of tweets following the news that he had marked on.

In the event that different reports are to be trusted, Shawn Carter will have a couple of more telephone calls to make in the coming weeks. Gossip has it that Cardi B and Big Boi are additionally in converses with play the halftime set at America's most-viewed wearing occasion.

Fans were at that point despondent at the halftime choices before Jay began his crusade to remove rappers from the NFL, noticing that having Scott and Maroon 5 play in a powerful hip-bounce center like Atlanta was a botched chance.

Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles Are 'Rekindling Their Old Romance': Source

They cooled off after getting hot and heavy while on vacation together over the holidays earlier this year, but now a source tells PEOPLE exclusively that Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles are back on. 

The duo were spotted on a dinner date at L.A. hot spot Ysabel on Thursday night, and the model "was beaming" all night, says an onlooker. 

According to a source close to Styles, 22, and Jenner, 20, the duo "are trying to spend time together again" after cutting off their relationship for a bit. 

"They're rekindling their old romance and Kendall's so excited and happy about it," says the source. "She's always cared about Harry." 

The stars first met a few years ago, but "things never got serious," a source told PEOPLE earlier this year about their New Year's vacation. "He has thought all along that Kendall is hot and was sort of just waiting for a chance to spend more time with her again."

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and the singer were first linked in January 2014 when they were seen going out to dinner and hitting the slopes at Mammoth Mountain in California.

From Tidal To 22 Days Nutrition, Jay Z And Beyoncé Are Facing A Fierce Branding Backlash

In recent years, it has seemed as if Jay Z and Beyonce could do no wrong.

As a first pair of music, she was raging out a successful surprise visual album that defied the marketing standards timeworn. He had embarked on a familiar flurry of new business projects, including sports management agency Roc Nation Sports and acquiring super-luxury brand of champagne Armand de Brignac.

 

But now, the duo run business seems to have struck a sour fiber. Yesterday, in the last instance of the backlash brand, Good Morning America teasing that Beyoncé had an "amazing" ad to share. When the news turned out to be an album, but a prerecorded monologue about a plant-based diet that favors sometimes star - an accomplice thinly veiled their next meal delivery company - the Beyhive began swarming with fury.

A fan was still quick to publish photographic evidence Star chewing a hamburger.

Beyond mere disappointment, however, the movement seems to doubt the erroneous nature of the company. The fact that Beyoncé is not a vegan and is said to have had limited participation in the creation of 22 Days Nutrition - a company being led by their coach and life coach, Marco Borges - has struck a chord with fans skeptics.

It is the same skepticism that has plagued other aspiring guru’s lifestyle, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Blake Lively, and is the same skepticism that has become Tidal streaming service three months old, Jay Z, and a total disaster. If the concept of billionaires sermons about healthy eating and how music has inspired furious backlash from consumers, has not ceased to stars without hearing from throwing their hats into the business arena.

After buying tide for $ 56 million in March, Jay Z unveiled the service in an event of unusual launch a post office in the city of New York, during which the best-selling artists cited Nietzsche and regretted financial injustices of the music business. Late last month, Tidal led to No. 9 on the list of highest grossing iTunes music applications, just after Slacker Radio.

Of course, at the end of the day, Jay Z is in front of an expansive empire worth $ 550 million - including records of Roc-A-Fella, Rocawear clothing line and a chain of 40/40 nightclubs. And Beyoncé, an estimated value of $ 250 million, is about to launch a line with Topshop athleisure later this fall.

However, recent missteps of the couple suggest that a healthy helping of humility is crucial in business - especially when you're the queen bee.

Hard Knock Life: Jay Z Faces Defeat In Aspiro Bid

With a net worth of $ 520 million, Jay Z may have the advantage in the world of music. But commercial ventures, could still suffer strange hard hit.

In recent months, Jay Z has shown increasing interest in purchasing a streaming service Aspiro Swedish music as a way to take on the likes of Apple and Spotify, which are currently dominating the world of music streaming.

 In January, the Pantera Project Bidco - a company owned by Jay Z - submitted a bid of $ 56 million for the Swedish company. However, it now appears that more than 10 percent of the minority shareholders of Aspiro intends to reject their offer.

The corporation has supported the proposal. However, the president of the Equity Association in Aspiro Power, Sune Karlsson said Dagens Industri, a Swedish financial newspaper that "we will recommend our members to say no to the offer. We have accumulated more than 10 percent of owners, which is enough to block it. "

In February, a statement released by Aspiro share power, an association of minority shareholders, said the offer does not represent the true business value streaming service.

If more than 10 percent of the shareholders reject the offer, the offer of Jay Z cannot completely go through and instead must settle for a smaller slice in the business.

Fox News’ War With Jay Z: Why It Picked The Wrong Fight This Time

Jay Fox embodies the American dream - a millionaire businessman "job creator" family man. Except perhaps something

Fox News picked the wrong fight, again, when Sean Hannity attacked Jay Z last month to meet with the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, to press for reform of the state justice system following the death of Eric Garner. Hannity said that the old days of Jay as a crack dealer disqualified him to advise the Governor on such matters. It is the latest in a long series of attacks against the rapper from Brooklyn, and if the past is any indication, we can expect from Hov fire back sometime soon.



Jay Z has beef with various rappers, but it's your beef over 10 years with Fox News that has been long. The fight can be traced all the way back to 2003 when Bill O'Reilly invited Dash Dame, co-founder of Roc-a-Fella Records for Jay Z, then-Roc artist Cam'ron to defend against rap music the position of the host that is hurting the American blacks and black children in general. Jay Z applauded back later that year in the Black Album "Threat" O'Reilly calling out first and offered one of his first iterations of how to achieve financial success and cultural influence not protect Jay racism. Jay Z embodies the American dream held by Fox News, after escaping from his previous life as a hustler and become a millionaire businessman "job creator" and family man. But it is still black. In fact, in a US predicament familiar damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-no, Hova suggested in "threat" is the same success as a black man makes him a target, foreshadowing the eventual treatment President Obama:

      I do not care if C. Delores Tucker,

      Or, Bill O'Reilly, only rilin 'me up.

      [...]

      Rehabilitated, man, I still feel hatred;

      I am young, black and rich, so I want to strip me naked.

Beyoncé And Jay Z's Trip To Cuba Did Not Violate Sanctions, US Says

Treasury responds to the request of the Republicans to see if the musicians violated the right wedding anniversary trip

Beyonce and Jay Z touring Old Havana as a bodyguard, left, and tour guide, right, accompany them.



Couple powerful American music industry Beyoncé and Jay Z did not violate American sanctions against Cuba to travel to the communist-ruled island last year, a review of the United States government has found.

"We found no indication that American sanctions were violated, and we conclude that the ... decision not to pursue a formal investigation was reasonable," said the review by the Office of Inspector General dated Wednesday Department Treasury.

The four-day visit in April 2013 was a cultural journey that is licensed by the Treasury Department, organizers said at the time.

The longstanding American trade embargo against Cuba prevents most Americans from traveling to the island without a license granted by the United States government.

Two Cuban-American members of Congress, both Republicans representing South Florida and supporters of a tough stance on Cuba, had asked the Treasury Department for information on what type of license that the couple obtained for the trip.

Beyonce and Jay Z celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Havana and were greeted by large crowds as they walked in the Cuban capital. They were immediately recognized despite the last half century of ideological conflict that separates the two countries.

The visit was planned as a cultural visit "people to people" and involved no meetings with Cuban officials, or the typical tourist activities, such as trips to the beach, organizers said at the time.

The trip includes visits with Cuban musicians and artists, as well as several night clubs where live music was performed, and some of the best restaurants in private management of the city, known as "tastes".

Beyonce and Jay Z were among a group of American stars visited the island in recent years, joining actors Bill Murray, Sean Penn and James Caan. But the couple was the first to cause a stir wherever they went.

While the ban has remained in place, the Obama administration has eased restrictions on travel to Cuba for academic, religious and cultural programs.

NAS RANKS DRAKE & JAY Z'S LATEST ALBUMS AS NEW CLASSICS

In a Reddit AMA, he names “nothing was the same” and “Magna Carta Holy Grail “as two modern classics

Not long after sitting down with Fuse to reflect on their debut album Illmatic for our special three parts 20, Nas stopped by for a Reddit AMA to talk directly with fans about his game-changing debut.

Besides talking Illmatic, the estimated MC also shared their picks for the most significant albums of rap culture - the creation of all time - and purists are surprised to see that he took two major titles at that level 2,013.

" Illmatic has been regarded as the best hip hop album of all time and was emblematic of the impact left the hip hop " wrote a user on Reddit . " What other hip hop albums you think was significant in shaping culture? "

After offering some of the usual suspects - Public Enemy It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and Eric B. & Rakim from Paid in Full - Nas named a recent LPs, including the latest offers of Drake and Jay Z.

Well, to be precise, Nas wrote , " the latest album by Drake Holy Grail, " but we're assuming that means two albums and is not accidentally calling Drake Nothing was the same with the name of Jay Last .

That's still a great endorsement. I NWTS received universally positive reviews, but most critics tempered their praise. Rolling Stone praised, but rebuked Drake for some “some really cheesy lines” while HipHopDX beat him with the connection handle, but that conviction, “pop -rap heavyweight.”

Magna Charter Holy Grail ... currently has a 60 on Metacritic , meaning it received reviews " mixed or average " , so having Nas adopted in the same category as Illmatic is quite important ( either that or you just feel particularly generous with Jay after Coachella detect together).

Based on sales, the fans have responded voraciously these two albums, even if the critical response has been more measured. So maybe when those records celebrate their achievements of 20 years, we'll be mentioning one or two in the same category as Illmatic.

Or ... maybe not. Although it seems unlikely either will never get that much register universal worship, Nas said that these two versions as “classics of all time" is a good indicator of resilience is higher than many thought at first .

Jay-Z’s Bling From ‘Whites Are Devils’ Group

Jay Z and his wife Beyonce at Nets game Tuesday.

Blacks are the fathers and mothers of civilization, the white men are the devil, the Christian god is nothing more than a ghost and only a small percentage of people understand the world.

These are just some of the beliefs behind the glitz - striking five percent Nation medallions worn by Jay Z and Carmelo Anthony.

Last week, all eyes on the Barclays Center were no better means of Jay Z , Beyonce - but mountain -sized gold pendant swinging neck rapper as the couple sat on the court. Asked once if the group symbol - a star of eight points with the number 7 in the middle - held no meaning for him, rapper shrugged: “A little."
So what do you think Five Percenters?

"The reason is that the black man is God and created the universe, and is stronger physically and intellectually stronger and fairer naturally," says Michael Muhammad Knight, author of two books on the radical group.
“Whiteness is weak and wicked and bottom - basically just a naughty boy that needs to be corrected.”

The group was founded in Harlem in 1964 by Clarence Smith, who later changed his name to Allah, a former student of Malcolm X who disagreed with the Nation of Islam on the nature of God.

Smith rejected the idea of a supernatural deity and instead believed that all black men have God in them and
that black women were “lands" but took a complementary role subordinate to their gods.
The idea is to train, says Knight.

“Every time someone says to accept their conditions of oppression and slavery and pray to an invisible god - what kind of God are only used to keep people and keep people looking at themselves as a solution to their problems, " he says.” If there is a problem, no one will solve it for you except yourself. "

Five Percenters are not considered Muslims, but its name comes from the Nation of Islam believed that 5 percent of humanity are “poor righteous teachers " that exist to enlighten the masses about the truth of existence.

Members sometimes refer to themselves as “scientists" to take home the search for truth. And they face a difficult task because under their system of beliefs, 10 percent of the world's population controls the other 85 percent by spreading the belief in a "mystery of God “.

To show roaders, members must learn the Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet - powerful tools to decipher the meaning of the universe. Meanwhile, each letter and number represents a concept, for example, 1 is knowledge, 2 is the wisdom, while A and B is Allah is to be, or were born. The number 7 pendant Jay Z stands for God.

Caucasians, while not in a state of exaltation in the narrative of the Five Percenters.

“The first lesson I learned from the percentage Five was simple: White people F- k Seriously Whites are devils, “Knight, 36, who is white and converted to Islam as a teenager, once wrote.

He insisted that the movement has welcomed and that he believes the controversial sentiment as a statement about power rather than biology.

"For me, it is that it is marked as privileged in the power relations of this society," he says.
Some fans take exception to those who transform their flag in a fashion accessory.

“Jay Z is not an active member - no one has guaranteed for him “Saladin Allah, a representative of the Upstate Group, told The Post.” It was always understood that you do not use the royalty if not fully subscribes to life. "

Jay Z & Kanye West Reassert The Throne At SXSW 2014

Her two-hour set provided career hits - covering and " N **** s in Paris" three times consecutively

In case there was any doubt about who currently occupies the throne of rap, Kanye West and Jay Z combined reaffirmed its majesty Wednesday night during a show sponsored by Samsung at the Austin Music Hall.
Sure, SXSW is supposed to be up-and - coming artists , but when you're looking at two of the most important and consistent rappers performing in an area normally occupied by artists with a fifth of Jay or ' Ye 's fame , you can 't avoid dropping the jaw and remain open for the entire two-hour set .
Even in the intimate space , Kanye and Jay managed some theatrical surprises . Instead of taking the old -fashioned stage , Jay and Kanye emerged from two metal at opposite ends of the seat boxes.  

So while Kanye came before the audience , Jay started the show on a platform that was actually ground level behind the fans, but right in front of the balcony crowd. Fans Balcony wheel that had consigned themselves to witness the spectacle from afar were suddenly confronted with Hova at a distance of one meter. 
  Naturally , they were frightened .

A burst of cell phones and screams accompanied the duo as they went HAM on " HAM " and "Who Gon Stop Me" . Then Jay fell back into metal bucket and the two took the main stage, next to " Otis " and "Welcome to the Jungle" , all delivered emphatically and without backing vocal tracks as a crutch .
It is difficult to pinpoint the highlight of a series that covers everything from "Big Pimpin ' " to " Tom Ford " and " Jesus Walks " a " sanctified" ( Yeezus ' song on Rick Ross ' Mastermind ) . But seeing Kanye bust out a rare smile as he handles the lines of police officers in " 99 Problems " was a great reminder that apart from being the hip hop heavyweights , these two are also fans of the work of others. Hell, even Yeezus gets giddy over the " 99 Problems " !


 

Later in the series, Kanye materialized out of the box in the back room and treated the crowd to a balcony - up close and personal interpretation of "Runaway ," which comes with a kilt - silver studded (a change of wardrobe kilt leather Givenchy rocked earlier in the show) . If high-end kilts are a bit too bourgeois for your taste , 

Kanye offered an olive branch of fashion to South America for breaking his shirt with the giant face of a fierce Rottweiler ( it looks like you could buy at any truck road stop , though Givenchy , too). Sadly , Jay did not change in a Versace shirt depicting a bald eagle carrying the American flag at any time.
The couple wrapped whole SXSW 2014 with three consecutive versions of "N **** s in Paris ," a buoyant firecracker that somehow defies the law of diminishing returns. That encore and the show itself , Jay and Kanye showed that sometimes, more of it is actually very welcome.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z Sultry Dance Makes S Case For Marriage

NEW YORK - your gift is that they all be all . They are the mimic octopus pop culture to shape with the notable triple power of these beings displacement , color blending and handle in many directions at once. Jay -Z : Man dealt drugs and shot his own brother , a guest of the President in his inaugural box , a pure artist , a money man who agrees to a " new Sinatra " and by repeating it made that way. Beyoncé : God-fearing girl from Texas, scantily clad and sexualized vixen mononymous superstar and feminist icon , the woman who took the last name Jay -Z, Carter.
And now they have become something else: the latest fodder for America's simmering dispute over the marriage.
It happened when Beyoncé released a new video - song "Drunk in Love" , about the joys of sex in marriage , and then late last month performed the number, with a guest rap by her husband , at the Grammy Awards . The Internet lit up with anything from ecstasy to contempt.
" No good reason for a married mother on a chair with her legs gaped for the whole world to see , to be open , " Afiya Watkins wrote in a vibrant Facebook debate on one of the movements of the singer in performance. Others hissed Beyoncé's " half-naked demonic way ," and urged them to " keep it in the bedroom. "
But others reveled in a pop- cultural moment , the cast marriage as sexy and sophisticated . "When in the 30s and with children not dead , we mean " Alexsa Nouri wrote on Facebook. A Tina Vasquez wrote on Twitter : " Beyoncé and Jay -Z show more intimacy has done in a five-minute power than my parents in 20 years of marriage. "

Soon after , Alyssa Rosenberg, stirred writing on the liberal blog Think Progress, the pot. She suggested that conservatives in general , and marriage boosters in particular , could use some of the Carters that project their union as " a declaration of intent , exciting well as the idea that marriage is to discipline wayward men or provide support for women to learn that can not economically manage on your own. "
At a time when the marriage is highly competitive and turn quickly to leave more Americans at once as an institution and sought by same-sex couples excluded, Mrs. Rosenberg provocation raises tough questions for both ends of the political spectrum .
The idea of marriage as Carter's ambassador is difficult for some on the left who accept the funding of the institution resist . There are concerns that this reduces other worthy ways of life. There are also fears that such promotion is a knit stitch to provide relief to the poor hold back with the suggestion that they build stable homes and move on when they both spouses. " The suspicion is that when people say , " marriage " , what they mean is " tax cuts for the rich and meaningless pabulum for the poor " , " in the words of Matt Yglesias , a prominent liberal commentator.
But the Carters ' portrait of marriage is just as unsettling for some on the right who would like to see promoted the institution , but be careful , its promotion in relation to the performance of the adult rather than family building. Promoted Speaking of performance of the couple, as well as another moment at the Grammys , marriage equality , the conservative National Organization for Marriage wrote on his blog : "We think that neither of last night the ' services ' are an ideal starting point for a proper understanding of marriage. "
John Mark Comer, a Christian pastor in Portland , Oregon, and author of the new book " Loveology " , reflects the country's ambivalence about marriage promotion in response to the Carters ' duet.
"It's a song about a woman who with her husband for the night, lusting after her husband, and really, really good sex, which is all good for , " he said, with Biblical quotations as support. But, he said , there are dangers in the sale of marriage as an adult -centered thrill : Thrills fade, and an enthusiastic duality , a pair of the richer joys of building to distract something about yourself in the world.
" The point of marriage is not marriage ," he said. " The point of marriage is something

Jay-Z Young Forever Song Lyrics

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man

Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?

So we livin' life like a video where the sun is always out
And you never get old and the champagne's always cold
And the music's always good
And the pretty girls just happen to stop by in the hood

And they hop their pretty ass up on the hood of that pretty ass car
Without a wrinkle in today 'cause there's no tomorr'
Just a picture perfect day that lasts a whole lifetime
And it never ends 'cause all we have to do is hit rewind

So let's just stay in the moment, smoke some weed, drink some wine
Reminisce, talk some shit, forever young is in your mind
Leave a mark that can't erase neither space nor time
So when the director yells "cut," I'll be fine, I'm forever young

Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?

Fear not when, fear not why, fear not much while we're alive
Life is for living, not living uptight, see ya somewhere up in the sky
Fear not die, I'll be alive for a million years
Bye-byes are not for legends, I'm forever young, my name shall survive

Through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves, over Pyrex pots
My name shall be passed down to generations
While debating up in barber shops
Young Slung hung here, Shorty, the nigga from here
With a little ambition, just what we can become here

And as the father passed his story down to his son's ears
Younger kid, younger every year, yeah
So if you love me, baby, this is how you let me know
Don't ever let me go, that's how you let me know, baby

Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?

Slamming Bentley doors, hopping out of Porsches
Popping up on Forbes lists, gorgeous
Hold up, niggas thought I lost it, they be talking bullshit
I be talking more shit, they nauseous

Hold up, I'll be here forever you know I'm on my fall shit
And I ain't waiting for closure, I will never forfeit less than four bars
Guru bring the chorus in, did you get the picture yet?
I'm painting you a portrait of young

Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever young?

Jay-Z Run This Town Song Lyrics

Feel it comin' in the air
And the screams from everywhere
I'm addicted to the thrill
It's a dangerous love affair

Can't be scared when it goes down
Got a problem, tell me now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gonna run this town tonight

Is who's gonna run this town tonight
We gonna run this town

We are, ya I said it, we are
This is Roc Nation, pledge your allegiance
Get your fatigues on, all black everything
Black cards, black cars, all black everything

And our girls are blackbirds ridin' with they Dillingers
I'd get more in depth if you boys really real enough
This is la familia, I'll explain later
But for now, let me get back to this paper

I'm a couple bands down, and I'm tryin' to get back
I gave the other grip, I lost a flip for five stacks
Yeah I'm talkin' five comma, six zeros, dot zeros, here it go
Back to runnin' circles 'round niggas, now we squared up
Hold up

Life's a game, but it's not fair
I break the rules, so I don't care
So I keep doin' my own thing
Walkin' tall against the rain

Victory's within the mile
Almost there, don't give up now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gonna run this town tonight

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
(Is who's gonna run this town tonight)

We are, ya, I said it, we are
You can call me Caesar in a dark CSAR
Please follow the leader, so Eric B. we are
Microphone fiend, it's the return of the god, peace god

Uh, uh, and ain't nobody fresher
I'm in Mason, uh, Martin Margiela
On the table screamin' fuck the other side, they jealous
We got a banquet full of broads, they got a table full of fellas

And they ain't spending no cake
They should throw they hand in, 'cause they ain't got no spades
My whole team got dough
So my Bankhead is lookin' like millionaires' 'fro

Life's a game but it's not fair
I break the rules, so I don't care
So I keep doin' my own thing
Walkin' tall against the rain

Victory's within the mile
Almost there, don't give up now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gonna run this town tonight

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
(Is who's gonna run this town tonight)

It's crazy how you can go from being Joe Blow
To everybody on your dick, no homo
I bought my whole family whips, no Volvos
Next time I'm in church, please no photos

Police escorts, everybody passports
This the life that everybody ask for
This a fast life, we are on a crash course
What you think I rap for, to push a fucking Rav-4?

But I know that if I stay stunting
All these girls only gon' want one thing
I could spend my whole life "Good Will Hunting"
Only good gon' come is as good when I'm coming

She got a ass that'll swallow up a g-string
And up top, uh, two bee stings
And I'm beasting off the riesling
And my nigga just made it out the precinct

We give a damn about the drama that you do bring
I'm just tryin' to change the color on your mood ring
Reebok, baby, you need to drop some new things
Have you ever had shoes without shoe strings?

What's that 'Ye? Baby, these heels
Is that a May, what, baby, these wheels
You trippin' when you ain't sippin', have a refill
You feelin' like you runnin', huh, now you know how we feel

Wassup!
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Wassup!
Hey, hey, hey
We gonna run this town tonight
Wassup!

Jay-Z Don't Let Me Die Song Lyrics

Dear God, bring our POW's home
And bring our brothers on lock down, home, Amen

Geah, he's a nigga from the back block
On everybody laptop who used to slang crack rock
HOV' and this nigga from the Chi'
Who hold a note like the guy who said the British is comin'

My nigga Kels, oh yeah, the niggaz is comin'
Get out your good dishes or somethin' like it's Thanksgiving, nigga
It's HOV' and none other than the R
And without further adieu, like Freddie get ready it's

Whatever happen, Lord, don't send me back
And whenever I did wrong it was Your name I cried
I heard You forgave over and over again
But when I found that out I became immune to my sins

Lay wide awake in the middle of my sleep
I see dead people and sometimes it's me, Lord
I never wanted to be a Thugfather
I only wanted to be a son of a father

That's how it sounds, it's sad
Worse than the war in Iraq when it's me against I
I gave up the weed and somehow I'm still high
Three years, still seein' the weed in my eyes, Lord

Sometimes I don't know what You want from me
But I do know You know what I want from You
Give it to me c'mon, take away this Hennessey
Take away me runnin' the street
Stop people from hatin' me
Take away all of this jealousy and prejudicy

Thought You said, it was a better place
I grew up around pimps, hustlers hoes and project gangsters
Hard to believe in what I can't see
I gotta get this money and feed my family

Whatever guillotine guides my life
Dear Lord, don't let me die tonight
But if I shall before I wake what shall I say?
It's been a good run from hoodlum to Island estates

How could one, make such foul mistakes
Still be allowed to have a smile on my face?
Hell, whatever the case, I'm glad it wasn't murder
In a town you never hearda from a nickel-plated burner

Now my life's straight like a perm
Try to take the spot I earned, muh'fucker better learn

It's Hov, he's a nigga from the back block
On everybody laptop who used to slang crack rock
Kel and this nigga from the Chi'
Who hold a note like the guy who said the British is comin'

Hov, oh yeah, the niggaz is comin'
Get out your good dishes or somethin' like it's Thanksgiving, niggas
Kel and none other than the R
And without further adieu, like Freddie get ready it's

Hey boy, hear me out, got a few mo' things to say
These niggaz be chasin' me like everyday
C'mere, no, my life on crutches, devils say
I'll never walk again but the Devil is a liar 'cause I believe within

You're the reason that I'm still here
Even though I don't act like it
Even though I hear my calling and fight it
Fools do me so wrong, it's hard to stay righteous
Pimping was a mountain to heaven, I'd hike it

Believe me, Lord, I want You
Got money and fame and still it just won't do
Sometimes I don't like who I am
When I look in the mirror, my reflection is Uncle Sam

And every night I have these weird dreams
That a creature's right beside me, wake up and can't breathe
I feel like it's twenty of me
Goin' twenty different directions on a one-way street, Lord

I got houses, money and cars and that
Everything single superstar, I got the whole music industry sewed
But it still don't matter when I'm gone and my casket closed, go

Whatever guillotine guides my life
Dear Lord, don't let me die tonight
But if I shall before I wake I'd accept my fate
I did what I did my heart was in the right place

I did so I could live to put food on my plate
You musta love me not to let it end by 3 that day
Well, whatever the case, I'm glad it wasn't murder
In a town you never hearda from a nickel-plated burner

I guess I'm not finished with my journey
Please forgive me for my sins
Shit, I'm still trying to learn, meet Hov

He's a nigga from the back block
On everybody laptop who used to slang crack rock
Kel and this nigga from the Chi'
Who hold a note like the guy who said the British is comin'

Hov, oh yeah, the niggaz is comin'
Get out your good dishes or somethin' like it's Thanksgiving, niggas
Kel and none other than the R
And without further adieu, like Freddie get ready it's

[Incomprehensible]

Wrap your arms around us God
Let there be peace and no more war
And bring our soldiers home, let us pray

Hey, hey, hey
