Stop your run, one of the reasons that they call us gangrene/gang green
Just sick.........
It's funny looking back on that line after that whole incident of the Best of Worlds Tour, it was almost like Jay was prophesying on what was going to happen to R.Kelly

You do realize that 95% of NT dont even know what a double entendre is, right?
Great thread though, allow me to contribute.
We used to fight for building blocks
Now we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killing
The closest of friends when we first started
But grew apart as the money grew, and soon grew black-hearted
Thinking back when we first learned to use rubbers
He never learned so in turn I'm kidnapping his baby's mother
My hand around her collar, feeding her cheese
She said the taste of dollars was *%#@#$ so I fed her fifties
About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced
So I kept feeding her money 'til her *%!% started to make sense
Who could ever forsee, we used to stay up
all night at slumber parties
now I'm trying to rock this !@#*@ to sleep
All the years we were real close
Now I see his fears through her tears,
know she's wishing we were still
close
Don't cry, it is to be
In time, I'll take away your miseries and make 'em mine, D'Evils
perfect emoticon for that verse

Monster of the double entendre, Coke is still my sponsor
Heh, the Cola, yeah
Hova still gettin it in with soda
Diet, nosa, I ain't lose no weight
Started from the crates now I'm sittin on a whole case
Since they got you sittin on that old case
Our dreams is on hold like Tivo
So I can't wait 'til you get your date
I got some temp plates outside of the gate
We gon' ride

Heroin Hero, Do anything for Deniro
Like Joe Peschi, Hov is do deadly
In the middle of the Oceans racing on jet ski's
Get ya mind right or get it on ur left sleeve
Ma cry me a river build a bridge and get over it
Imagine growing up skinny around brolic cats
Quiet assassin demenor, of them college cats
Till I got a gat and loudly start poppin back
Round the way, N's call me bobby bouche'
(This has maybe 4 different meanings)
If My hands in the cookie jar, know one thing
Ima take the cookie not leave my ring
Go ahead bug out a raid n's scurry
Like im not the mike Jordan of the mic recordings
Its Hovi baby, you kobe maybe, tracy mcgrady
Im so independant sheit I might buy Koch
In the mirror pointin at ur reflection killin urself
You american pie stop feelin yaself
You just a worker go deal yaself
Stop being a server get a meal/mill yaself
Jayz can never be compared in the same breathe as anyone lyrically over a complete body of work other than Big, Big L, and Rakim....anyone else just don'thave enough to match this dude...bar for bar over a longer period of time.
Its Laughable the people they try to place on his level now days.

So the pen is mightier than the sword mylord.
First picture was a lineup...now i'm on the Forbes.
And I still remain an Artiste, through this all...
If you force my hand, i'll be forced to draw.
If the war calls for Warhols...hope you got enough space on your hall's walls.
I make _s murals, then I escape the bureaus...investigation....out in Europe on vacation.
I'm back for these puppies with the pound boy.
Rahhh...heres a round boy.
Rahhh, Rahhh...down boy.
Sound boy, you don't wanna sound clash loud noise.
Leave _s paranoid, if not paralyzed.
Which means you can't walk in my shoes.
Too much green you can't talk in my hue.
The thing that makes Jay so nice is...he carries out his metaphors and entendres in his verses, longer than I have ever heard anyone else do it.

Jay is seriously something else...
I find myself doing the same type of thing quite frequently. Even with stuff dude spit in like 96-97, I'm like damn, cats still cant rap like that now. Overrated? come on man.
