Jay-Z: American Gangster (The Lyrics)

Jay finishes off his 10th album with this banger by Just Blaze.  Verse two is where he shines.  Jay has a knack for ending his albums with great songs:  RD (“Regrets”), Vol. 1 (“You Must Love Me”), The Dynasty (“Where Have You Been”), The Black Album (“1st Song”).

“American Gangster” (Verse 2)

“If the sky should fall
And it all goes tomorrow, and they foreclose on the house and auction off all my cars
Don’t cry for me Argentina, I mobbed in the beamer
Took trips abroad, got mobbed in Sardina
In Ibiza I had pizza in the club
Ladies know I’m that guy, they wanna piece of my love
Now they wanna do the boy like Mike in his prime
Billie Jean, the goddamn boy ain’t mine
And the Roc break up had the people losing hope
Can’t lie, they had Muhammad Hovi on the ropes
Now I’m back in the go mode, back in the go-go
Throwing the diamond up, repping the logo
Rose gold rose flow, I’m okay though
What Don’t kill me makes stronger than before so
Here we go and I’m not domino
When it all falls down, I’m like Kanye’s jaw
I might break but I don’t fold, till I hold the sky in my hand
Yeah that’s my goal
And then I bid you Freddy Adu
Prodigal Child, y’all not ready for the fu-ture
Then I disappear in the Bermuda Triangle
My name will be viewed as such
Here’s to the man that refused to give up
I want the sky nigga, Chuuuuuuch”
