Jay-Z - Bam (en) Lyrics
Trenchtown as you know
My family history
runs deep there
That's the place that my father
grew up as a young man
Now greetings to
the world....
Speaking patois
The prophets in the beginning
were musicians
They were the
poets, the writers
And that's what we've been
tasked with in this life
Shit is...its actually kind
of humbling, you know
Gangsta no live in
a tenement yard
Rude boy no live in
a tenement yard
Too much watchie
watchie watchie
Too much su-su
su-su-su
Them chatty
chatty chatty
Them su-su su-su-su
Its influenced a lot
of what we do
Like our whole genre
is birthed out of
Traditions out of
reggae number one,
Its the essence of us
Borrowing from
our ancestors
But re-creating it and
re-presenting it
Its like that's
who we are
That's what we come from
We are vessels right?
We're whistles, the wind
go through us
We make the noise
Fuck all this pretty shawn
carter shit, nigga hov
Shawn was on that
gospel shit
I was on the total fucking
opposite (shit)
Stuff a million dollars
in a sock drawer
Thats a war chest in case you
need your chest knocked off
Y'all be talking crazy under
them ig pictures
So when you get to hell you
tell em blanco sent ya
I can't take no threats,
I got a set of twins
Those were just some words
you'll never hear again
For the final time you don't
believe these fools
I never seen a worker rock
so many jewels (never)
I never seen a runner with
so many cars (ever)
Y'all couldn't stop me,
You're not as tough as
you say you are
My advice is just don't
be too nice to niggas
Just set the price on niggas and
live your life my niggas
Once upon a time
in the projects
The way the
community is built
If you notice how the room
we all surround
A court yard setting
And that court yard
setting would be
Where a lot of the
music was made
All of those things kinda encourage
the environment
Of learning you know music
and al that stuff
I was in fighting mode, oh
now it's fuck me mi hijo
I was moving them kilos help
you move your peoples
You know I feel like when
I go to africa
I feel like when I go,
you know my people
I love people, period
(Hi jay-z, how are you?)
What's up
You don't see me too?
Emory passed you niggas
and he did a bid
Ty ty jumped over niggas,
he like 5'6"
Got the heart of a giant
Don't you ever forget
Don't you never forget
Jigga got this
shit popping
I pulled out the pot when
we was out of options
Gangsta no live in a
tenement yard
Too much chatty
chatty chatty
And them su-su
su-su-su
Fearless musicians
would have to come
And audition
and what not
To try to get
inside the doors,
You know what I mean?
And I'm sure a lot of them
were turned away.
So first eventually
actually have
Ownership of this
place is great.
Lots of violence in our
king's town 6.
Nancy wright the
Sound like a
crispy biscuit
Ta bam bam
That's freestyle a bam bam
Just like that,
I didn't write it.
Man, that must feel good.
Like make something
so timeless.
Of course
I was asking him
about jamrock.
I was asking him did
he know like
The minute he heard
it did he know?
And he said yes.
Did he say yes?
Good music it will last.
That's right
It will last. It
won't go nowhere.
And even i, I'm gone.
I'm supposed to go.
My daughter is
going to be here
And say that's
mommy's bam bam
It ain't going nowhere.
Powerful, isn't it?
Powerful.
Can't you see,
it's my ambition
I come to nice up
the whole nation
What a bam bam
I don't give a god damn
When me come a dance
Have my spliff & guinness
Y'all crowd of people go
And mind ya business
This a hunting season
Well I tell ya
something season
Cake & dumpling season.
Spinach & dumpling
sea(son)...
It's really powerful for
me when I came here.
This is music I listen
to my whole life.
My mom and dad they like
collect records
And just played
music all the time.
Bob was like a major
boss in our house.
Like I turn to a kid
when I came here.
Well the tuff gong definitely
Exist long before me,
That was my dad's nickname.
We as a family have used it
throughout the years.
Know what I mean?
This is like a great,
You know a great
part of the legacy.
That's strong.
Full circle.
That's how it works right?
Yeah
That's unbelievable.
You know
Everything that's meant
to happen, happens,
That's just what,
that's what it is.
