This is for my niggaz down bottom and them hustlers on twenty-two`s
Single parent mothers in the hood is who I`m talkin to
I know it`s rough in the ghetto but let me walk witchu
Talk witchu, uh-huh, yeah-hea
And for the ones who put you down and said you wouldn`t make it
But you still held your ground and came up out that basement
In the memory of those that we lost, it`s deicated
We miss y`all, uh-huh, yeah-hea
[Jay-Z + (R. Kelly)]
This right here this whole album`s..
in the memory of all our fallen soldiers (uh-huh)
we lost along the way (ohhhhhoooh) knahmsayin, ghetto to ghetto
City to city, worldwide, we got y`all, y`knahmean?
(Ghetto America) This album right here represents strength
(Ohhhh! Yeahhh) Strength in our people, understand it

Kel - take `em to church
[R] The best of.. both worlds - ohhhhHHH!
[Jay-Z]
We mastered this, don`t you know
I eat beef and breathe acid, weak bastards
We copped and we crash it
Then we cop again cause we are classic
Let me speak for ya R we Scarface re-enacted
The Godfather trilogy re-casted
But it`s real like we grievin for Aaliyah with the masses
But I hope my boy Dash get to see it when he passes
I feel her soul when the Lee passes
When the wind blows, it`s almost like I see her in the Hamptons
Even more reason to be up in them mansions
Laid back, feet up in the hammock, I`ma live for ya
Big too, `til they put me in the grave
I`ma floss `til they toss me a Bed-Stuy parade
`Til Chi-Town make a nigga Mayor for a day
In the memory of Joanne Kelly, let us pray
[R] Both worlds... welcome to the best of both worlds
