Jay Z- Can't Knock The Hustle (Fool's Paradise Remix)

[Intro: Meli'sa Morgan (Jay-Z)]

('Cause you can't knock the hustle...)

Ohh, uuuuuuahyeah, uuuuuuooooooh

Foooooool's, paradise

(Jay-Z, ha ha, Meli'sa Morgan)

You better think twice

(Roc-A-Fella y'all, it don't stop)

'Cause it's not very nice

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]

We about to change this game dear

Check my pockets, ain't nothing but game there

I remain without peer, keep the lames clear

And the cats that's all about scratch remain here

On top of this Metropolis

My name's like a swear

Dropped off every tier

Now y'all can swear to Jay

Heard it the other day

Through the missive, peep how they script it

We got to hear you every night 'fore we hit the lights, it's type addictive

Need cash to live with, the beat goes on

Every day is a hustle, the heat grows on

Funny thing happens when years of chasing money unfolds

And the only thing worse than getting old is not getting old

Niggas stay low, like six-fours of shit and gold

And watch for hoes with form fitting clothes

And I, hope you shine

Seen many wrinkles and enough memories to last you two lifetimes

Can't knock the hustle

[Chorus 1: Meli'sa Morgan (Jay-Z)]

I'm taking out this time (uh huh, uh huh)

To give you a piece of my mind

('Cause you can't knock the hustle, how we do)

Who do you think you are?

Maybe one day you'll be a star

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]

Check this

In a man's world need a girl to touch something

Pull an 80 out her Anne Klein purse and bust something

If you skating through the night to the light, then trust something

When I get home, then it's on

Girl just crack your shaped legs like Grade A eggs

Love the way you behave and beg

Moans, turns to hollers and screams as we zone like a college team

Then they can hear you from Hollis, Queens

Life with me, consists of a lot of things

Chicks in your ear, kicking dirt, 'cause you got hotter rings

But you know how to scream, friends talking dizziness

Remind them freak chicks, stay out my bizziness

Know they can't love it, trips to L.A. with no luggage

Came back with six bags struggling

In first class if my ass should crash, champagne spilled on me

Steak still warm on me

[Chorus 2: Meli'sa Morgan (Jay-Z)]

('Cause you can't knock the hustle)

But until then baby, I'm the one who's crazy (uh huh)

'Cause that's the way you're making me feel (how we, how we do)

The way you're making me feel ('cause you can't knock the hustle)

I don't want no romance, I just want the chance

Can't knock the hustle for real (ha)

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]

Ever since I retired, working alongside of live wires

To this rap biz with fake nigs you know liars

I guess I'm biased 'cause what I talk about I live

These rap dudes conflicted

Some of them ain't even rapping for chips

What part of the game is this?

Seems brainless, on tours like whores, guess what I'm saying I miss

Cats that go all out for their gold plaques

Started with four jacks, ended up with gold Ac's

Bet your lungs collapse if my funds get trapped

On their, way to me through you, screw you

Gun blew you, out of one then two shoes

Run through you like um, excuse you

But that's my cash, gotta understand your hustle

But that's my cash, you don't understand

Let my dough pass, you can show it love

Like a rap star in front of the club

But don't knock the hustle

[Chorus 1 & 2: Meli'sa Morgan (Jay-Z)]

I'm taking out this time

To give you a piece of my mind

('Cause you can't knock the hustle)

Who do you think you are?

Maybe one day you'll be a star (Jigga, Meli'sa)

('Cause you can't knock the hustle)

But until then baby, I'm the one who's crazy (uh huh, ha ha)

'Cause that's the way you making me feel

The way you making me feel

('Cause you can't knock the hustle)

I don't want no romance (how we do), I just want the chance (say what)

Can't knock the hustle for real

('Cause you can't knock the hustle)

[Outro: Jay-Z (Meli'sa Morgan)]

Remix (the hustle), '96

(Can't knock the hustle)

Don't stop, 'til the top

Roc-A-Fella y'all

('Cause I can't knock the hustle, the hustle)

Irv Gotti, Jigga (can't knock the hustle)

Meli'sa Morgan, uh huh

'Cause you can't knock the hustle

(The hustle, can't knock the hustle

'Cause I can't knock the hustle, the hustle

'Cause I can't knock the hustle)

'Cause you can't knock the hustle...
