This is for my niggaz down bottom and them hustlers on twenty-two's

Single parent mothers in the hood is who I'm talkin to

I know it's rough in the ghetto but let me walk witchu

Talk witchu, uh-huh, yeah-hea

And for the ones who put you down and said you wouldn't make it

But you still held your ground and came up out that basement

In the memory of those that we lost, it's deicated

We miss y'all, uh-huh, yeah-hea

[Jay-Z + (R. Kelly)]

This right here this whole album's..

in the memory of all our fallen soldiers (uh-huh)

we lost along the way (ohhhhhoooh) knahmsayin, ghetto to ghetto

City to city, worldwide, we got y'all, y'knahmean?

(Ghetto America) This album right here represents strength

(Ohhhh! Yeahhh) Strength in our people, understand it

Cock-suckers can not touch us, the block love us

We got the ghetto on our back muh'fuckers

We got this locked for two reasons: we from the hood

plus we promised both our mommas that we would

Kel - take 'em to church

[R] The best of.. both worlds - ohhhhHHH!

[Jay-Z]

We mastered this, don't you know

I eat beef and breathe acid, weak bastards

We copped and we crash it

Then we cop again cause we are classic

Let me speak for ya R we "Scarface" re-enacted

"The Godfather" trilogy re-casted

But it's real like we grievin for Aaliyah with the masses

But I hope my boy Dash get to see it when he passes

I feel her soul when the Lee passes

When the wind blows, it's almost like I see her in the Hamptons

Even more reason to be up in them mansions

Laid back, feet up in the hammock, I'ma live for ya

Big too, 'til they put me in the grave

I'ma floss 'til they toss me a Bed-Stuy parade

'Til Chi-Town make a nigga Mayor for a day

In the memory of Joanne Kelly, let us pray

[R] Both worlds... welcome to the best of both worlds
