Jay-Z – Encore Lyrics  Share

From Jay-Z's album: The Black Album

Thank you, thank you, thank you, you^,re far too kind

[Chorus]
Now can I get an encore, do you want more
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, nigga make some noise

[Verse One]
Who you know fresher than Hov^,? Riddle me that
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
I^,m, young H.O., rap^,s Grateful Dead
Back to take over the globe, now break bread
I^,m in, Boeing jets, Global Express
Out the country but the blueberry still connect
On the low but the yacht got a triple deck
But when you Young, what the fuck you expect? Yep, yep
Grand openin, grand closin
God your man Hov^, cracked the can open again
Who you gon^, find doper than him with no pen
just draw off inspiration
Soon you gon^, see you can^,t replace him
with cheap imitations for DESE GENERATIONS

[Chorus] - 1/2

{What the hell are you waiting forrrr?}

[Verse Two]
{*sighs*} Look what you made me do, look what I made for you
Knew if I paid my dues, how will they pay you
When you first come in the game, they try to play you
Then you drop a couple of hits, look how they wave to you
From Marcy to Madison Square
To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years (yea)
As fate would have it, Jay^,s status appears
to be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye
When I come back like Jordan, wearin the 4-5
It ain^,t to play games witchu
It^,s to aim at you, probably maim you
If I owe you I^,m blowin you to smithereeens
Cocksucker take one for your team
[ Encore lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/j/jayz/encore/ ]
And I need you to remember one thing (one thing)
I came, I saw, I conquered
From record sales, to sold out concerts
So muh^,fucker if you want this encore
I need you to scream, ^,til your lungs get sore

[Interlude]
OWWWW! It^,s star time
This man is MADE! He^,s KILLIN all y^,all jive turkeys
Do y^,all want more of the Jigga man?
Well if y^,all want more of the Jigga man
Then I need y^,all to help me, bring him back to stage
Say Hova, c^,mon say it!
HO-VA! HO-VA! Are y^,all out there? {*crowd chants "HO-VA! HO-VA!"*}
Are y^,all out there? C^,mon, louder!
Yeah, now see that^,s what I^,m talkin bout
They love you Jigga - they love you Jigga!

[Jay-Z]
I like the way this one feel
It^,s so muh^,fuckin soulful man!
(Whoaaaaaahhhh, whoahhhhhhhhhhhhh, whoahhhhhhhhhhhhh)
Yeah {*crowd still chanting*} okay

[Verse Three]
So this here is the victory lap
Then I^,m lea-vin, that^,s how you get me back
After a year of them 16^,s, it^,s one point two
And that^,s two point four, and I^,m only doin two
You wanted to gain attention new dudes
I can get you BET and TRL too
You wanna be in the public, send your budget
Well fuck it, I ain^,t budgin!
Young did it to death, you gotta love it
Record companies told me I couldn^,t cut it
Now look at me, all star-studded
Golfer above par like I putted
All cause the shit I uttered, was utterly ridiculous
How sick is this?
You want to bang, send Kanye change, send Just some dust
Send Hip a grip, then you got^, spit
A little somethin like this, WOO!

{What the hell are you waiting forrrr?}
{*piano plays out as crowd cheers loudly*}
