Hello

Ay, ay, ay, ay

They say a lot about me

Let me tell you what i ain't

I ain't playing,

Life's short, so i aimed

I ain't waiting for life to start portrayin' em

Its twice as hard to get a job that's paying

So i ain't payin' attention to what you saying

Rain-drops keep falling on my brain

Constant in the drop, all flames

I'm so hot even if the weather change

I don't have no top, i'm insane

Remember darkskinned Jermaine?

Swayed in the rain, im sorta kinda the same

Except i'm no lame and you gonna know my name

Before i go to work and feel my pain

Saying, i'm a bad guy, why's that?

Cause when my back's against the wall, nigga, i react

Secretly though, i know you admire that

You wish you had the balls to fire back--

Say hello, uh, uh, hello, uh. uh

You wish you had the balls to fire back

Say hello

Say hello

Hello

Ay, ay,

They say a lot about me

Let me tell you what i ain't

I ain't no ordinary nigga

Look around and see what 'ordinary' gets ya

Extraordinary figures

I'm an extra-ordinary nigga

Before my name became Jigga

Before i sang, i had that thang on sippers

Can't complain bout what they ain't gon' give ya

That ain't gon' get you shit, mightaswell give up

Or get up, get out and get something, nigga

Get a job, my nigga, or get to dumping

Only God can judge him, only he without sin

Can tell me if my means can justify my ends

Til' then, i'm just gon' fly in the benz

Wire my friends through Western Union

Sssshhhh....surprising my sister, knockin'

Here comes the bad guy again!

Say hello

Uh uh

Hello

Ay, ay,

They say a lot about me

Let me tell you what i ain't

We ain't thugs for the sake of just being thugs

Nobody do dat where we grew at, nigga, DUH!

The poverty line, we not above

So out come the mask and glove cause we ain't feelin' the love

We ain't doing crime for the sake of doing crime

We movin' dimes cause we ain't doin' fine

One out of three of us is locked up doing time

You know what that type of shit can do to a nigga mind?

My mind on my money, money on my mind

If you owe me ten dollars, you ain't giving me nine

Ya'll ain't give me 40 acres and a mule

So i got my Glock 40, now i'm cool

And if Al Sharpton is speaking for me

Somebody get him the word and tell him i don't approve

Tell him i'll remove the curses

If you tell me our schools gon' be perfect

When Jena 6 don't exist

Tell him THAT's when i'll stop saying bitch---BIIITCH!
