U Don't Know
Bobby Byrd, Shawn Carter
Turn my music high, high, high, higher
(You don't know what you're doing, doing, doing)
Sure I do
I'm from the streets where the hood could swallow 'em and
Bullets'll follow 'em and
There's so much coke that you could run the slalom
And cops comb the shit top to bottom
They say that we are prone to violence, but it's home sweet home
Where personalities clash and chrome meets chrome
The coke prices up and down like it's Wall Street, holmes
But this is worse than the Dow Jones, your brains are now blown
All over that brown Brougham, one slip, you are now gone
Welcome to Hell, where you are welcome to sell
But when them shells come, you better return 'em
All scars, we earn 'em
All cars, we learn 'em like the back of our hand
We watch for cops hopping out the back of vans
Wear a G on my chest, I don't need Dapper Dan
This ain't a sewn outfit, holmes, holmes is about it
Was clapping them flamers before I became famous
For playing me, y'all shall forever remain nameless (you don't know)
I am Hov (what you're doing, doing, doing)
Sure I do
I tell you the difference between me and them
They're trying to get their ones, I'm trying to get them Ms
One million, two million, three million, four
In just five years, forty million more
You are now looking at the forty million boy
I'm raping Def Jam 'til I'm the hundred million man
R-O-C (you don't know what you're doing, doing, doing)
That's where you're wrong
I came into this motherfucker hundred grand strong
Nine to be exact, from grinding G-packs
Put this shit in motion, ain't no rewinding me back
Could make forty off a brick, but one rhyme could beat that
And if somebody woulda told 'em that Hov would sell clothing
Not in this lifetime, wasn't in my right mind
That's another difference that's between me and them, ha
I smarten up, open the market up
One million, two million, three million, four
In eighteen months, eighty million more
Now add that number up with the one I said before
You are now looking at one smart black boy
Mama ain't raised no fool
Put me anywhere on God's green earth
I'll triple my worth, motherfucker
I will not lose (you don't know what you're doing, doing, doing)
Put something on it
I sell ice in the winter, I sell fire in Hell
I am a hustler, baby, I'll sell water to a well
I was born to get cake, move on and switch states
Cop the coupe with the roof gone and switch plates
Was born to dictate, never follow orders, dick face
Get your shit straight, fucker, this is Big Jay
I, hahaha (you don't know what you're doing, doing, doing)
Will not lose, ever

Sure I do
Claro que sí
I'm from the streets where the hood could swallow 'em and
Vengo de las calles donde el barrio podría tragárselos y
Bullets'll follow 'em and
Las balas los seguirían y
There's so much coke that you could run the slalom
Hay tanta coca que podrías correr el slalom
And cops comb the shit top to bottom
Y los policías peinan la mierda de arriba a abajo
They say that we are prone to violence, but it's home sweet home
Dicen que somos propensos a la violencia, pero es hogar dulce hogar
Where personalities clash and chrome meets chrome
Donde las personalidades chocan y el cromo se encuentra con el cromo
The coke prices up and down like it's Wall Street, holmes
Los precios de la coca suben y bajan como si fuera Wall Street, amigo
But this is worse than the Dow Jones, your brains are now blown
Pero esto es peor que el Dow Jones, tus cerebros ahora están volados
All over that brown Brougham, one slip, you are now gone
Por todo ese Brougham marrón, un resbalón, ahora te has ido
Welcome to Hell, where you are welcome to sell
Bienvenido al infierno, donde eres bienvenido a vender
But when them shells come, you better return 'em
Pero cuando vengan esas balas, será mejor que las devuelvas
All scars, we earn 'em
Todas las cicatrices, las ganamos

R-O-C (you don't know what you're doing, doing, doing)
R-O-C (no sabes lo que estás haciendo, haciendo, haciendo)
That's where you're wrong
Ahí es donde te equivocas
I came into this motherfucker hundred grand strong
Entré en esta mierda con cien mil fuertes
Nine to be exact, from grinding G-packs
Nueve para ser exactos, de moler paquetes de G
Put this shit in motion, ain't no rewinding me back
Puse esta mierda en movimiento, no hay forma de rebobinarme
Could make forty off a brick, but one rhyme could beat that
Podría hacer cuarenta de un ladrillo, pero una rima podría superar eso
And if somebody woulda told 'em that Hov would sell clothing
Y si alguien le hubiera dicho que Hov vendería ropa
Not in this lifetime, wasn't in my right mind
No en esta vida, no estaba en mi sano juicio
That's another difference that's between me and them, ha
Esa es otra diferencia entre yo y ellos, ja

Put me anywhere on God's green earth
Mettimi ovunque sulla verde terra di Dio
I'll triple my worth, motherfucker
Triplicherò il mio valore, stronzo
I will not lose (you don't know what you're doing, doing, doing)
Non perderò (non sai cosa stai facendo, facendo, facendo)
Put something on it
Scommetti qualcosa su di esso
I sell ice in the winter, I sell fire in Hell
Vendo ghiaccio in inverno, vendo fuoco all'inferno
I am a hustler, baby, I'll sell water to a well
Sono un imbroglione, baby, venderò acqua a un pozzo
I was born to get cake, move on and switch states
Sono nato per fare soldi, andare avanti e cambiare stato
Cop the coupe with the roof gone and switch plates
Compro la coupé con il tetto aperto e cambio le targhe
Was born to dictate, never follow orders, dick face
Sono nato per dettare, mai seguire ordini, faccia di cazzo
Get your shit straight, fucker, this is Big Jay
Metti in ordine le tue cose, stronzo, questo è Big Jay
I, hahaha (you don't know what you're doing, doing, doing)
Io, hahaha (non sai cosa stai facendo, facendo, facendo)
Will not lose, ever
Non perderò, mai
Fucker
Stronzo
