"I was gonna kill a couple rappers, but they did it to themselves
I was gon' do it with the flow, but they did it with their sales
I was gon' 9/11 'em, but they didn't need the help
And they did a good job, them boys is talented as hell
'Cause not only did they brick, they put a building up as well
Then ran a plane into that building, and when that building fell
Ran to the crash site with no masks and inhaled
Toxins deep inside their lungs until both of them was filled
Blew a cloud out like a L into a jar, then took a smell
'Cause they heard that second hand smoke kills
nikkas thought they was ill, found out they was ill
And it's like you knew exactly how I wanted you to feel"
That song is filled with clever shyt.
"Beautiful music when champagne flutes click, eh
Beautiful women sipping through rouge lips, eh
Dangers approaches, we're like: "Wait, who's this?"
Let us save you some trouble, son, what size suit you is?
This way after the Ruger shoots through a few clips
You can lay in your casket just as you is"
I don't know if it's just a trait that isn't admired as much anymore but sometimes with Jay it's the witticism mixed with something real clever that does it.
Sometimes I see these criticisms of him that completely act like he wasn't nice at all. And I do wonder if people really currently value what he did best.
