[Pharrell]Yeah 3 in the morning on the Westside highway, top down baby, fuck y'allThe motivation for me was them telling me what I couldn't be, oh well
[Jay-Z]This a special dedication
I wanna thank you for the fuel
No really thank you
[Verse 1 - Jay-Z]I felt so inspired by what my teacher said
Said I'd either be dead or be a reefer head
Now sure if thats how adults should speak to kids
Especially when the only thing I did was speak in class
I'll teach his ass, even betters what my uncle did
I pop my demo tape in start to beat my head
Peaked out my eye, see if he was beating his
He might as well say beat it kid, he's on the listIt's like I'm searching for kicks like a sneaker headHe gon keep pushing me until I reach the ledge
And when I reach the ledge I'll tell em all to eat a dick
Take a leap of faith and let my eagle wings spread
Spread spread
[Hook - Pharrell]Motivation for me was them telling me what I could not be, oh well
I'm so ambitiousI might hit two sistersHey I'm on a mission
No matter what the conditionsForget the personal issues
When you been what I been throughHey if you believe it
Then you could conceive it
[Verse 2 - Jay-Z]I had to lace up my boots even harderFather is too far away to father
Further-more all the kids either smoke reefer
Or either move white, there's few writers in my cypherSo they made light of, my type of
Dreams seem dumb, they said wise up
How many guys-a, you see makin it from hereThe world don't like us, is that not clear? Alright but
I'm different, I can't base what I'm gon' be
Offa what everybody isn't, they don't listenJust whisperin behind my back
No vision, lack of ambition, so whack!
[Hook]
[Verse 3 - Jay-Z]Had a couple of meetings no offers yet
Maybe I ain't good enough for these officesBack to the drawing board ducking officersIt's all good cause the streets is A&R'ing thisSo with or without any of your involvement
Coming for all of this, respect my conglomerateI went from pauper to the President
Every deal I made set precedentNiggas thought I'd fall without old buddyOh buddy, what I do is make more moneyDear Teacher, your probably somewhere near a speakerI'm ballin' outta control, can you hear my sneakers
Fuck y'all
[Hook]
[Outro]
You see, the motivation for me
Was them telling me what I could not be
