The Truth
Was listening to this earlier today and all these subs I never heard before starting showing. It was like hearing the verse for the first time with a new set of ears.
(No one on the corner…) Got a bop like this
Can't wear skinny jeans, 'cause my knots don't fit
No one on the corner got a pocket like this
So I rock Roc jeans, 'cause my knots so thick
You can learn how to dress just by jockin' my fresh
jockin' jockin' my fresh,jockin' jockin' my fresh
Follow my steps is the road to success
Where the nikkas know you're thorough when the girls say yes
(Yes…) But I can't teach you my swag
You can pay for school, but you can't buy class
School of hard knocks, I'm a grad
And that all-blue Yankee is my graduation cap
It's Hooooovaaaa
Dippin' different Rovers, whippin' with the soda
Hooooovaaaa
Did you even have any doubt? After Doubt it was over
I feel like all these lines are Jay taking subtle jabs at Kanye. Alluding to skinny jeans and Kanye starting to become very influential in the fashion game at the time.
Then he talks about following his steps, which Kanye was definitely doing at the time, especially after Ye' acknowledged it on Big Brother.
Remember how Kanye opened his verse with "Mr. West is in the building Swagger on a hundred thousand trillion"
Then Hov' follows saying he can't teach him his swag....school....class....graduation I think this is referencing College Dropout, Late Registration and Graduation.
