I love this, but the original is probably my top Jay track ever, or at least top 5, from my favorite album from him. The second beat change on the album version was too smooth, and his mic presence and bars were class defined.
'hustlers i met or dealt with direct/is it true you stayed in beef and slept with a tec'
'on MTV telling em how i sold D/and used to bag work out of apartment 4b/me an my homey started out co'ds/picked the mailbox lox cuz I ain't have no key/
If you were ever in that life, Jay made this track for you.
