Anything Songtext
von JAY‐Z

Uh huh yea, yeah
Duro! You gotta let it bump
Uh, uh, uh like dat yeah
Come on bring the chorus in

I′d risk everything
For one kiss, everything
Yes I'd do anything (Anything?)
Anything for you (Yeah)


I′d do a bid, loose a rib, bust a cap, trust in that
Run up to heaven doors, exchange my life for yours
Leave a steak out the door, mi casa, su casa
Just remember to turn the lights off in the hall
My brother from another pop, minus one shot
We Nino and Gee Money, man, we all we got
From the stoop to the big dudes, stoppin' us from playin' hoops
And us getting mad, throwing rocks off the roof
Straight thuggin′ man, I thought we would never progress
But look at us now man, we′re young execs
My nigga Dame, my nigga Biggs, my nigga Ty
My nigga High, my nigga Gotti
We embody all that's right with the world
No matter how pretty she is, you never liking my girl
That′s how we run, when you ain't around
I′ll spank ya son, keep him in line
If you should die, I'll keep him like mine
God forbid, keep this in mind, my nigga

I′d risk everything
For one kiss, everything
Yes I'd do anything (Anything?)
Anything for you
I'd risk everything
For one kiss, everything
Yes I′d do anything (Anything?)
Anything for you


I know Momma, your little baby
But these streets raised me crazy
Product of my environment, nothing can save me
Thanks for letting me bloom, for your wisdom, for your womb
For the roof over my head, for my shoes, for my bed
For the most important lesson in life was when you said
"Strive for what you believe in, set goals and you can achieve them"
Thanks for the days you kept me breathing
When my asthma was bad and my chest was wheezin′
Thanks for the look of love just as I was leaving
On nights you thought that I wouldn't come back, that left you grieving
Thanks for holdin′ down the household when times was bad
As a man, I apologize for my dad
When the rent was due, you would hustle like a pimp would do
That wasn't the life meant for you
You′re a queen, you deserve the cream, everything that gleamed
Everything that shines, everything that's mine

I′d risk everything
For one kiss, everything
Yes I'd do anything (Anything?)
Anything for you
I'd risk everything
For one kiss, everything
Yes I′d do anything (Anything?) (Check it out)
Anything for you (Uh, uh)

Dear nephews, I′m writing' this with no pen or a pad
And I′m signing it, ya uncle, ya best friend, and ya dad
Don't look back if you fall and you′re feeling bad
I'm right there from your cut to when you peelin′ the scab
If it comes a time when you ain't feelin' your real dad
Put my face on his body don′t wait for nobody
Don′t follow no nigga, that's ho shit man
Stand on your own two, do your shit man
The world is yours, some girls are nice some girls are whores
Don′t listen to your crew, do what works for you
Standing back from situations gives you the perfect view
You see the snakes in the grass and you wait on their ass
Bite your tongue for no one and whatever is said
Take it how they want, a closed mouth don't get fed
You know my number when it′s code red
If you're wrong, my nigga
You′re my nephew, fuck it we get it on my lil nigga

I'd risk everything
For one kiss, everything
Yes I'd do anything (Anything?)
Anything for you

I′d risk everything
For one kiss, everything
Yes I′d do anything (Anything?)
Anything for you

I'd risk everything
For one kiss, everything
Yes I′d do anything (Anything?)
Anything for you

I'd risk everything
For one kiss, everything
Yes I′d do anything (Anything?)
Anything for you

Roc-a-fella, Ruff Ryders. Swizz Beats, It's almost over ya′ll, Jigga
Uh, uh, uh, uh, Lights out niggas!

(Jigga) What's my mother fucking name?
(Jigga) And who I'm rolling with huh?
(My Niggas) uh-huh-huh-uh-huh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right
(Jigga) What′s my mother fucking name?
(Jigga) And who I′m rolling with huh?
(My Niggas) uh-huh-huh-uh-huh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right

Sold the crack when I was down in AC
Back on the block Jay-Z mother fucker from the, the, the Roc
Went solo on that ass but it's still the same
Brooklyn be the place where I serve them thangs
Be my niggas was struggling, to the ′burbs they came
And then we got to hustling, mudering thangs
I dipped in my stash, splurged on a chain
Now I'm Titianic, Iceberg′s the name
Leave players on injured reserve, hurt the game
The best way to describe me in the word, insane
I dick down chicks all emerged in my fame
Jigga been dope since Slick Rick's first chain
The God, send you back to the earth from which you came
I′m baking soda, waterfire, merged with 'cane
Ladies don't know me said "I heard he′s vain"
Well guess what mommies? I heard the same
You heard the name

(Jigga) What′s my mother fucking name?
(Jigga) And who I'm rolling with huh?
(My Niggas) uh-huh-huh-uh-huh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right
(Jigga) What′s my mother fucking name?
(Jigga) And who I'm rolling with huh?
(My Niggas) uh-huh-huh-uh-huh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right

I got a license to kill so I stay the gat
Roc-a-fella, Ruff Ryders, nigga scared a that
Got a new motto this year, Don′t Fuck With My Ones
Knock on your door, three in the morning, "It's just us and our guns!"
See I scrambled with priests, hustle with nuns
Got the mind capacity of a young Butch Cassidy
Niggas get fly, let ′em defy gravity
Four-five rapidly lift your chest cavity
Streets won't let me chill
Always been a clumsy nigga, don't let me spill
Mother fuckers wanna wet me still
I remain ya′ll Raw, the one, like five divided by four
Shit, this just the hate that′s been provided by ya'll
Reciprocated and multiplied by more
You likely to see Jigga in a Wide Body or
Drop-top Bently is all, Holla at me ya′ll

(Jigga) What's my mother fucking name?
(Jigga) And who I′m rolling with huh?
(My Niggas) uh-huh-huh-uh-huh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right
(Jigga) What's my mother fucking name?
(Jigga) And who I′m rolling with huh?
(My Niggas) uh-huh-huh-uh-huh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right

I don't give a fuck if I sold one or one million, but I think you should
Cause if I only sold one, then out comes the hood
The all black, in the gloves, the outcome ain't good
Them niggas act like wolves, how come? They could
Cause we don′t drop hits, we drop bombs that smash
Till the wrists is lit up, the arm looks like glass
The necklace chipped up, the charm it flash
Could fuck up your eyes like the bombest hash
See the reason why chicks let me palm they ass
All I gotta do is let ′em call me Shawn de'Glass
Let me sit up in they whip till I launch it back
Snap they neck, then shoot ′em till they aren't sent back
The calmest cat, trust me when I palm this gat
Kill your mind, body and soul, push your conscience back
Monster′s back, and Flex drop a bomb to that
And everybody sing-a-long to the track, Come on

(Jigga) What's my mother fucking name?
(Jigga) And who I′m rolling with huh?
(My Niggas) uh-huh-huh-uh-huh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right who?
(Jigga) What's my mother fucking name?
(Jigga) And who I'm rolling with huh?
(My Niggas) uh-huh-huh-uh-huh
Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right who?

(Jigga) What′s my mother fucking name?

Niggas better get it right, bitches better get it right

Jigga Man, Swizz Beatz
History in the making, part three
Lights out ladies!

C'mon here baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)
Don′t want nobody but you my baby (And all my ladies sing)
Hold me tight and call me your lady (Say it louder)
Make me scream your name
C'mon here baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)
Don′t want nobody but you my baby (And all my ladies sing)
Hold me tight and call me your lady
Make me scream your name

I took ya outta Jacob's in clusters
Busters they wanted to rush us
Love the way you sparkle when the sun touch ya
When you blush you turn blue if your grade is right
You can light up the whole room, turning day from night
When the summertime is in and the tops are down
With you around my neck we lock the whole block down (That's right)
It took short sleeves and lounging to understand
The reason they call you ice, everybody freeze
Ain′t a pendant in the sun who can shine like you
And that platinum in the charm who can blind like you
The direct reason why niggas do they crimes they do
I used to snatch the necklace right off them reckless fools
Guess I was jealous that they was so next to you
So I devoted half my time to invest in you
The other half was spent on protecting you
′Cause you belong to me, now sing ya song for me
C'mon

C′mon here baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)
Don't want nobody but you my baby (And all my ladies sing)
Hold me tight and call me your lady (Say it louder)
Make me scream your name
C′mon here baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)
Don't want nobody but you my baby (And all my ladies sing)
Hold me tight and call me your lady
Make me scream your name

I′m often with you, so they wonder 'bout the juice I got
I took you from the projects and an abusive pops
From the bottom to the top
The skateboard to the drop
From the nada to the Prada
I got ya like I got ya
From the first time I put you round my neck and locked ya
It was then I knew everywhere I went you'd follow
Soon I spent every dollar, you became my habit
Other brothers vice was smoke, mines was carats
The more checks I got the more I laced my crew
The rocks got bigger, watch face got blue
Tricked a little bit, shit I lace my boo
Fuck it, my mistress I laced her too
Cop my jewels twice, like déjà vu
If they ever met in the mall, it was over y′all
Just the way I do, and either way you win
I mean the thugs love ya when you′re girl's best friend

C′mon here baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)
Don't want nobody but you my baby (And all my ladies sing)
Hold me tight and call me your lady
Make me scream your name (And all my ladies sing)
C′mon here baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)
Don't want nobody but you my baby (And all my ladies sing)
Hold me tight and call me your lady
Make me scream your name (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

In the wedding band you love, in the gold chain you thug
Sometimes you given just because
And the tennis bracelet means they want relations
Know that they wanna fuck, the only reason they give you up
In the hands of gold diggers you never enough
Rings, things, just never enough
But me and you together gon′ shine to the end
I mean the thugs love ya, but ya girl's best friend

C'mon here baby, you drive me crazy
Don′t want nobody but you my baby
Hold me tight and call me your lady
Make me scream your name
C′mon here baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)
Don't want nobody but you my baby (And all my ladies sing)
Hold me tight and call me your lady
Make me scream your name

C′mon here baby, you drive me crazy
Don't want nobody but you my baby
Hold me tight and call me your lady
Make me scream your name
C′mon here baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)
Don't want nobody but you my baby (And all my ladies sing)
Hold me tight and call me your lady
Make me scream your name

C′mon here baby, you drive me crazy (Where all my baby thugs?)
Don't want nobody but you my baby (And all my ladies sing)
Hold me tight and call me your lady
Make me scream your name
C'mon here baby, you drive me crazy
Don′t want nobody but you my baby
Hold me tight and call me your lady
Make me scream your name
