[Jay Z]

This song here..

.. is dedicated to Danny Dan and may he rest in peace

Who at his funeral left us with the words that

he did it his way (uh huh uh huh)

So I have no other choice but to do it my way

Uh huh uh huh

Uhh! While niggaz are shootin stupid

I'm carefully plottin ways to make it rotten

Well planned hits until you're long forgotten

Y'all niggaz that utilize my style don't hurt me, cause on the low

half of these rappin-ass niggaz wanna work for me

Now picture me standin on somebody block tryin to rock

I drop bombs and niggaz see me with that dough by eight o'clock

My feet never touch the concrete, just street sweep awards

While you're starin on my dick nigga, gimme yours!

I don't hassle with capsules cause that'll make the grass grow

and get a project nigga paid up the asshole

if I'ma risk a frisk, gettin my wrists wrapped up in steel

I'm out here tryin to make a mill', my shit is real for real

While others worship guns I worship tons of money

tons of fun, laughin at shit that ain't even funny

So I ain't pressed to make a CD, I took it slow

Eighty percent of these niggaz with deals

can't see me with the dough, uhh!

Chorus: Jay-Z

In my lifetime, I need to see a whole lot of dough

I need a whole lot of dough (for real!)

In my lifetime, I need to see a whole lot of stash

I need a whole lot of cash (stay real!)

In my lifetime, I need to see a whole lot of dough

I need a whole lot of dough *

In my lifetime, I need to see a whole lot of stash

I need a whole lot of cash

*1: (for real!)

*2: (true!)

*3: (true!)
