Ni**as In Paris
Length: 3:39
Release: 2012
Opening Lyrics:
Ball so hard, motherfuckers wanna fine me
But first niggas gotta find me
What’s fifty grand to a motherfucker like me?
Can you please remind me?
(Ball so hard) this shit crazy
Y’all don’t know that don’t shit faze me
The Nets could go 0 for 82
And I look at you like this shit gravy
(Ball so hard) this shit weird
We ain’t even ‘posed to be here
It’s only right that we’d be fair
Psycho, I’m liable to go Michael, take your pick
Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6
Numb/ Encore
Length: 3:25
Release: 2017
Opening Lyrics:
Thank you, thank you, thank you, you’re far too kind
Whoo! Aha, uh, whoo, yeah! Ready
Whoo, whoo, whoo!
Cookin’ raw with the Brooklyn boy
So for one last time I need y’all to roar
Now, what the hell are you waitin’ for
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, make some noise
The rest of y’all know where I’m lyrically at
Can’t none of y’all mirror me back
Yeah, hearin’ me rap is like hearin’ G rap in his prime
Empire Estate Of Mind
https://youtu.be/N3XlyT4Ums8
Length: 4:36
Release: 2017
Opening Lyrics:
Yeah, I’m out that Brooklyn, now I’m down in Tribeca
Right next to DeNiro, but I’ll be hood forever
I’m the new Sinatra, and since I made it here
I can make it anywhere, yeah, they love me everywhere
I used to cop in Harlem, hola, my Dominicanos (dÃmelo)
Right there up on Broadway, brought me back to that McDonald’s
Took it to my stashbox, 560 State Street
Catch me in the kitchen like a Simmons whippin’ pastry
Cruisin’ down 8th St, off-white Lexus
Drivin’ so slow, but BK is from Texas
Me, I’m out that Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie
Now I live on Billboard and I brought my boys with me
Say what up to Ty-Ty, still sippin’ Mai Tais
Sittin’ courtside, Knicks and Nets give me high five
Nigga I be Spike’d out, I could trip a referee (come on, come on, come on)
Tell by my attitude that I’m most definitely from
No Church In The Wild
Length: 4:32
Release: 2012
Opening Lyrics:
What’s a mob to a king?
What’s a king to a God?
What’s a God to a non-believer
Who don’t believe in anything?
Will he make it out alive?
Alright, alright
No church in the wild
Blood stains the Coliseum doors
Lies on the lips of a priest
Thanksgiving disguised as a feast
Rollin’ in the Rolls-Royce Corniche
Only the doctors got this, I’m hidin’ from police
Cocaine seats
All white like I got the whole thing bleached
Run This Town
Length: 4:27
Release: 2018
Opening Lyrics:
Hear the screams from everywhere
I’m addicted to the thrill
It’s a dangerous love affair
Can’t be scared when it goes down
Got a problem, tell me now
Only thing that’s on my mind
Is who’s gonna run this town tonight…
Is who’s gonna run this town tonight…
We gonna run this town
Yeah I said it
We are
This is Roc Nation
Pledge your allegiance
Get y’all black tees on
All black everything
Black cards, black cars
All black everything
And our girls are blackbirds
Ridin’ with they dillingers
I’d get more in depth
If you boys really real enough
