"Things That U Do lyrics"
Wicked Generation lyrics
Signs that mark the times are clear to seeJust look around at a world of miseryIf you can`t read the writing`s on the wallDelusions, victory, rejections last callThere`ll be no more excuses, decisions on the lineThe cross you wear as a fashion statement is just a waste of timeYour reoccuring sins will lead you to your deathWill you ask for forgiveness with your very last breathWicked generation and it keeps on escalating, it`s anotherWicked generation, oh wicked generationA simple prayer on sunday is such a shallow repentYou keep avoiding his love, your nights are better off spentBut deep inside your light still shines
(feat. Mariah Carey)
[Jay-Z]
Uh-huh, uh
Jigga man, uh-huh MC
That?s right
Swizz Beatz
Uh, uh, come on
[Mariah (Jay-Z)]
It's the things that you do
That make me feel so...
(Come on, inhale, exhale, breathe on it for me)
And I don't know the way I feel
I can explain
(Uh)
I love you
You thug look at what you make the clubs do
(Bounce, bounce)
It's the things that you do
That make me feel so..
(Exhale breathe on it for me)
And I don't know the way I feel
I can explain (Yeah)
I love you
(Uh come on)
You thug look at what you make the clubs do
[Jay-Z]
You know the flow sicka, know Jigga, mo' sicka now right
You know what me and Swizz's shit sound like
Crazed and demonic, uh without blazin chronic
Product of Reaganomics
You know that motherfuckin stoop raised me
Ringin in da hoops but I was too lazy
School made me sick, teachers said I was too crazy
Low and behold, it's the new and improved Jay-Z
Let me explain this to you baby
I spent nights out, days in
Niggaz was blazing, twelve noon where I was raised in
I felt caged in but kept roaming
Prayed for the Day of Atonement
Married to the streets no date of annulment
It seems every time it comes up
They postpone it

The Brews lyrics
Friday night we'll be drinkin' Manishevitz Goin' out to terrorize Goyem Stompin' shagitz, screwin' shicksas As long as we're home by Saturday mornin Cause hey, we're the Brews Sportin' anti-swastika tattoos Oi Oi we're the boys Orthodox, hesidic, O.G. Ois Orthopedic, Dr. Martins good for Waffle making, kickin' through the shin Reputation, gained through intimidation Pacifism no longer tradition Cause hey we're the Brews Sportin' anti-swastika tattoos Oi Oi we're the Brews The fairfax ghetto boys skinhead Hebrews We got the might, psycho mashuganas We can't lose a fight, as we are the chosen onesSo I kept my chrome at the waist
Waiting for the omen
Savoring the moment and now you know
The reason that I flow the way I flow baby
[Mariah (Jay-Z)]
It's the things that you do
(Uh, inhale, exhale, breathe on it)
That make me feel so..
And I don't know the way I feel
I can explains
I love you
You thug look at what you make the clubs do
(Bounce, shake, bounce, shake)
It's the things that you do
That make me feel so..
(Uh, exhale, breathe on it for me)
And I don't know the way I feel I can explain (Uh)
I love you
You thug look at what you make the clubs do
(Drop, bounce, yo)
[Jay-Z]
You know I move like an ounce
Bottled up like crack
That's how I make you bounce like that
Defy Webster's words they can't pronounce like that
That's why no other rapper got a sound like that
Trap, trap of my life
Flashback, kill niggaz
Rap skills unmatched, Jigga man baby
I can't entertain it sometimes I can't explain it
God given, gifts of a soul for hard living
Far be it from me to question Allah's wisdom
Could've been lost in the system
Instead I'm involved with the rhythm
I dodged prison, came out unscathed from car collisions
I know I must be part of some mission
Shit I used take it for granted
Why they
I would ask myself while writin raps to myself
But right there under my nose
Was the flow of all flows
Not a demon but a rose in the cement, come on
[Mariah (Jay-Z)]
It's the things that you do
That make me feel so..
(Inhale, exhale, breathe on it MC)
And I don't know the way I feel
I can explain
(Uh)
I love you
You thug look at what you make the clubs do
(Bounce, shake, shake it, uh)
It's the things that you do
That make me feel so..
(Exhale, uh)
And I don't know the way I feel I can explain
I love you
You thug look at what you make the clubs do
(Lights out nigga)
[Jay-Z]
You know I've traveled through zones
Homes spazzed like a bad back
I came into this game on Jaz's back
I jumped off stood on my own two like boom, that's that
Yeah I'm here to show and prove
Don't matter to me the Garden or flowin on Clue
Whatever niggas wanna do - it's alright with me
Whether you big or bossy, jig or flossy
Dusty or musty, sober or saucy
Broker than Todd Bridges, richer than Bill Cosby
Forgive me for my arrogance or you still salty?
Past on to the next life and you still haunt me
I'mma keep doing me unfortunately
I make the club rock, make thugs pop guns
Make old folks do the bus stop; can't stop son
Shit I give you what's hot and what's not, I never knew
Y'all (niggas) know (niggas) how (niggas) do
[Mariah (Jay-Z)]
It's the things that you do that make me feel so..
(Uh, exhale, inhale)
And I don't know the way I feel
I can explain
I love you
You thug look at what you make the clubs do
(Uh, bounce, shake, what? uh-huh)
It's the things that you do that make me feel so..
(Uh-huh, inhale, exhale)
And I don't know the way I feel I can explain
I love you
You thug look at what you make the clubs do
(Bounce, shake ladies)
It's the things that you do that make me feel so..
(Uh-huh, breathe for me, uh, uh-huh)
And I don't know the way I feel
I can explain
(Uh)
I love you
You thug look at what you make the clubs do

Wonder Why lyrics
Well I'm sitting here On this park bench With the sun in my eyes N' I touch the leaves As they fall to my knees N' I just wonder why Now I'm walking along the lakeside With the pavement pulling my stride Look down Think of turnin' around Jesus it's no surprise I wonder why well I wonder why Now I'm following my footsteps back To the place I already was N' I taste my tears As I have touched the fear Of pushing the dealer aside But I can't be bothered By silly By silly arguments no no N' I have decided That it's all It is all It is all in my head So I'm sitting here On this park bench With the sun in my eyes N' I touch the leaves As they fall to my kn
