[Intro: Jimmy Smith]nGood God Almighty. Like back in the old days. You know, years ago they had the A&R men to tell you what to play, how to play it and you know whether it's disco and rock but we just went in the studio and we did it. We had the champagne in the studio, of course, compliments of the company, and we just laid back and did it. So we hope you enjoy listening to this album half as much as we enjoyed playing it for you. Because we had a ball. Only real music is gonna last, all the other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow...nn[Hook: Timbaland]nCash rules everything around menC.R.E.A.M. get the money, dolla-dolla bill y'allnn[Verse 1: Drake]nAfter hours of Il MulinonOr Sotto Sotto, just talking women and vinonThe contract like '91 Dan MarinonI swear this got Michael Rapinos boosting my egonOverly focused, it's far from the time to rest nownDebates growing 'bout who they think is the best now?nTook a while, got the jokers out of the deck nownI'm holding all the cards and niggas wanna play chess nownI hear you talking, say it twice so I know you meant itnFuck it, I don't even tint it, they should know who's in itnI'm authentic, real name, no gimmicksnNo game, no scrimmage, I ain't playing with you niggas at allnMy classmates, they went on to be chartered accountantsnOr work with their parents, but thinking back on how they treated menMy high school reunion might be worth an appearancenMake everybody have to go through security clearancenTables turn, bridges burn, you live and learnnWith the ink I could murder, word to my nigga IrvnYeah, I swear shit just started clicking dognYou know it's real when you are who you think you arenn[Hook]nn[Verse 2: Jay Z]nI had Benzes 'fore you had bracesnThe all black Maybach but I'm not a racistnInside's whiter than Katy Perry's face isnYellow diamonds in my JesúsnI just might learn to speak MandarinnJapanese for the yen that I'm handlingnInternational Hov, that's my handlenMy saint's Sean Don, light a candlenEl Gran Santo on the mantlen'Case y'all didn't know, I speak Spanish toonShout out to World Wide WesnEverywhere we go, we leave a worldwide messnYes, still Roc La FamilianSays a lot about you if you not feeling usnThe homie said "Hov, there ain't many of us"nI told him less is more, nigga it's plenty of usnn[Hook]nn[Verse 3: Jay Z]nCake, cake-cake, cake-cake, caken500 million, I got a pound cakenNiggas is fronting, that's upside-down cakenGet 'em a red nose, they clown cakesnThey shoulda never let you 'round cakenLook at my neck, I got a carrot cakenNow here's the icing on the cakenCake, cake-cake, cake-cake, uhhnI'm just getting started, oh, yeah, we got it bitchnI've done made more millionaires than the lotto didnDame made millions, Biggs made millionsnYe made millions, Just made millionsnLyor made millions, Cam made millionsnBeans'll tell you if he wasn't in his feelingsnI'm back in my bagnMy eyes bloodshot but my jet don't lagnA pair of Jordan 3's tryna chase this cashnGucci air bag just in case we crashnUh, last night was mad trillnI'm fresh out of Advil, Jesus grab the wheelnn[Part 2: Paris Morton Music 2]nn[Verse 1: Drake]nLook, fuck all that "Happy to be here" shit that y'all want me onnI'm the big homie, they still be tryna lil bro me, dognLike I should fall in line, like I should alert niggasnWhen I'm 'bout to drop something crazy and not say I'm the greatestnOf my generation, like I should be dressing differentnLike I should be less aggressive and pessimisticnLike I should be way more nervous and less dismissivenLike I should be on my best behavior and not talk my shitnAnd do it major like the niggas who paved the way for usnLike I didn't study the game to the letternAnd understand that I'm not doing it the same, man, I'm doing it betternLike I didn't make that clearer this yearnLike I should feel, I don't know, guilty for saying thatnThey should put a couple more mirrors in here so I can stare at myselfnThese are usually just some thoughts that I would share with myselfnBut I thought "Fuck it"nIt's worth it to share 'em with someone else other than Paris for oncenI text her from time to time, she a mom nownI guess sometimes life forces us to calm downnI told her she could live with me if she need tonI got a compound but I think she's straightnCause she supported since Hot Beats right before Wayne camenAnd got me out of the backroom where I was rapping with Jas over beats that I shouldn't have in the hopes for the glorynHe walked right past in the hallway, 3 months later, I'm his artistnHe probably wouldn't remember that storynBut that shit stick with menAlways couldn't believe when he called menYou never know, it could happen to younAnd I just spent four Ferrari's all on a brand new BugattinAnd did that shit cause it's something to donYeah, I guess that's just who I became dognNothing was the same, dog Less
