Get My sh*t Off lyrics

[Intro: Jay-Z]
Uh
This beat is like you just walking in place like this
Let me try to get through this here...

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
Y'all wanna take my life, then come and get it
I'm so committed to street life, sometimes I don't sleep nights
If y'all ain't ready to die, my advice would be to
Back up and live, 'cause the fact of this is
I keep .44s in the sky, mind on my money
n*gga, I'm so for real, I hope you're not finding this funny, nah
Live everyday like my last, fast money
Fast cars, fast temper, draw down faster than y'all
I got to get my sh*t off, I came from nothin'
But pop's di*k, mom's egg, hungry like a hostage
With every step that I take, I use my hood sense
Study my footprints, learn from my mistakes
I'm much braver than most, got the heart of a ghost
I was born dead, baby, my life is all gravy
Reporting live from the ROC, I rep for my set
Till the date of my death, I will die for my block

[Chorus: Jay-Z & Timbaland]
I gotta get my sh*t off (get off, get off)
Get off my ass and get about that cash
I gotta get my sh*t off (get off, get off)
Live everyday like my last, like death's approaching fast
Gotta get my sh*t off (sh*t off! get off, get off)
Get off my ass and get about my cash
Gotta get my sh*t off (sh*t off! sh*t off! sh*t off!)
Live everyday like my last...
[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
If there was heaven above us, I was living in hell
My neighborhood was the roughest, I never complained
I just adjusted my game, pushed 20s of 'caine
Bush and Reagan couldn't stop me from makin'
I wish I could dream about being a lawyer
But I had dealers in my hallway, death around the corner
Couldn't tell right from wrong, pimps will spoil you
Give you dollars for errands when nobody was carin'
I got to get my sh*t off, it rang true every time
I heard it or every time somebody got murdered
We pour liquor on the curb until the cement stain
I cried enough tears from my eyes to equal 3-inch rain
Motherf*ckers, I deserve it when I be in the Range
I copped them uncut stones that be freezing the chain
I done been through enough sh*t to make you pee in your pants
Man, I'm sorry if we ain't seeing the same, I seen it rain

[Chorus: Jay-Z & Timbaland]
I gotta get my sh*t off (get off, get off)
Get off my ass and get about that cash
I gotta get my sh*t off (get off, get off)
Live everyday like my last, like death's approaching fast
Gotta get my sh*t off (sh*t off! get off, get off)
Get off my ass and get about my cash
Gotta get my sh*t off (sh*t off! sh*t off! sh*t off!)
Live everyday like my last...
[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
That's why I give you my up and downs, my pain, my passion, my pleasure
My good and bad times, n*ggas, my whatever
My hopes and dreams, blood, tears and sweat
My version of R. Kelly, this is a n*gga's threat
My life is an open book, n*gga, I hope you took from it
Whatever works for you, I was put on this earth to move
Mountains, I think, I'm almost sure
But I've been smoking a lot lately, not counting my drinks
I got to get my sh*t off, for that I'm certain
That's why it's less than 8 months, I am back to work
n*gga, I'm clear, I done seen my cupboards bare
Heard money mentioned in my mother's prayer
Had nights my stomach filled up with nothing but air
Got 10 dollars to eat for 4 of us to share
That's why Hov' act like that, quick to snap
MAC-11 ready, I ain't going back

[Chorus: Jay-Z & Timbaland]
I gotta get my sh*t off (get off, get off)
Get off my ass and get about that cash
I gotta get my sh*t off (get off, get off)
Live everyday like my last, like death's approaching fast
Gotta get my sh*t off (sh*t off! get off, get off)
Get off my ass and get about my cash
Gotta get my sh*t off (sh*t off! sh*t off! sh*t off!)
Live everyday like my last...
