[Intro: Jay-Z]
Uh, its the boy Jay-Z, and the boy R. Kel
The best of both worlds, please believe it

Brookland, Chi-Town, to all the beautiful ladies in the world
Dedicated to TT my niece, everybody in the world, talk to 'em Kel
That's right, Tone this is mean and vicious man, so mean and vicious

Rockland, Roc-a-Fella, the best of both worlds, come on

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]

Lord forgive me I'm ballin' out of control
Got the spirit of a hustler pouring out of my soul
Mami I love you but ain't no stopping my stroll

If you wanna be down with me you gotta rooolll
Like a roll and if my side of the bed gets cold
You gotta know that I'm out chasin' doooough

I'm ain't stunting these hoes
Stunting my growth if I $#&@ 'em I'm fleeing them
I need something to hold

Then I'm home to you
I might roam like a cellular phone
But I never leave you alone I

Solemnly swear, I was married to the block before I met you
It's still a part of me there but I
Solemnly swear, I try but it's in my blood

Pumping yay since I was yay high
I'm in love with the life
So except me for the !@$( that I am

You're still in love with me right?

[Chorus: R. Kelly]

Baby I can't figure it out
Said you #~!!@ tastes like honey
But I can't stop huggin' the block

All night tryna get this money

Stuck between these two worlds

What I'm gonna do with both these girls
Two main squeezes in separate cities
Both found out man, %#@! ain't pretty

Stuck between these two worlds
What I'm gonna do with both these girls
Hard to choose between her and these streets

Cuz the game keeps calling me

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]

Baby girl had me off my grind, off my clock
I would often find I was off my block
Couldn't keep her off my mind, my balls were shot

They never thought that a pause or stop
Was in my pores to push rock raw
Take a lost rebound like Bo Outlaw, I'm so outlaw

Got a hunger for this game, but keep that on the low
Like a one against the grain
Got the sun against my brain

A girl in my ear
I like her for her
I'm a dig into this %#@!, I like it like I like her

Sometimes I can't figure it out
I'm in love with the life but she's sticking it out
She know wanna hug kisses keep a ^!$$% in the house

Lock down while his ^!$$%s is out (out)

[Chorus X2]
