Jay-Z:
Uh huh yea yea
Duro!, you gotta let it bump
Uh uh uh like dat yea
Come on, Bring the chorus in
(Chorus)
I`d risk everything
Oh, i`d risk everything
Yes i`d do anything, anything
Anything for you
(Verse 1)
I do a bid, loose a rib, Bust a cap, trustin` that
Run up the heaven doors, exchange my life for yours
Leave a steak out the door, mi casa, su casa
Just remembered to turn the lights off in the hall
My brother from anotha pop, minus one shot
We need em for G-Money man, we all we got
>From the stoop to the big dudes, stoppin` us from playin` hoops
And us gettin mad, throwin` 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 Tah, my nigga Ja, my nigga
Gotti, we`re the body, oh its right with the world
No matter how pretty she is, you never likin` my girl
That`s how we run, when you aint around
I`ll spank ya son, keep him line
If you should die, i`ll keep him like mine
God forbid, keep this in mind, my nigga
(Chorus 2x)
I`d risk everything
Oh, i`d risk everything
Yes i`d do anything, anything
Anything for you
(Verse 2)
Mama`s lil baby, but these streets raised me crazy
Product of my enviroment, 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 breathin` when my asthma was bad
and my chest was weezin`, Thanks for the look of love
Just as i was leavin`, some nights, you thought that i wouldn`t come back
I left you grievin`, thanks for holdin` down the household
When times were bad, as a man, i apoligize for my dad
When the rent was due, you would hustle like a pimp would do
That wasnt the life meant for you, your a queen, you deserve the
cream, everything that gleamed, everything that shined
Everything thats mine
(Chorus 2x)
I`d risk everything
Oh, i`d risk everything
Yes i`d do anything, anything
Anything for you
(Verse 3)
Dear nephews, i`m writin` this, wit no pen or a pad
And i`m signin` it, ya uncle, ya bestfriend, and ya dad
Don`t look at before when your feelin` bad, i`m righ there
For when you cut to when you peelin` a scab, if it comes a time
And you aint feelin` your real dad, put my face on his body
Dont wait for nobody, Don`t follow no nigga, that`s hoe 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, standin` back away from situations gives you
the perfect view, You see the snakes in the grass, then you wait on
there 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, or if you`re wrong, my nigga
Your my nephew, fuck it we get it on my lil nigga
(Chorus 4x)
I`d risk everything
Oh, i`d risk everything
Yes i`d do anything, anything
Anything for you
