I'm jealous of you how come you so beautiful?
Smelling fresh youthful intelligent while I'm stressin' and shyt
Aiyo I envy you 'cause all you do is smile and things come your way
Such a innocent child is what some say
I get upset 'cause I just want to be treated the way you are
Like a star not a worry in this world thus far
But wait a minute we both need ya mother's attention
I must be crazy jealous of my own baby infant
(Kinda crazy)

I always thought Low key this was sort of a respond to Jay’s bars about Nas contradicting from the Blueprint 2 song.

Some of the bars are representing different part of his life where his values where different & how values change as time goes on.

But real talk I’m probably bugging & it’s a mad reach :mjlol:
