[Jay-Z]
Motherfuckas!
Say that I'm foolish, I only talk about Jews
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it
See I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined
The same dude you gave nothin, I made somethin' doin
What I do through and through and, I give you the news
With a twist of just his ghetto point of view
The renegade, you been affrad, I penetrate pop culture
Bring em a lot closer to the block where they pop toasters
And they live with they moms, got drop roasters
From botch robberies, niggaz crotched over
Mommy's knocked up cuz she wasn't watched over
Knocked down by some clown, will child support knock
No he's not around, now how that sound til you jot it down
I bring you through the ghetto without riding round
Hiding down, duckin' strings from frustrated youths stuck in they ways
Just read a magazine and fucked up my days
How you write music that thugs but nothin' but relate to it
I helped them see they way through it, not you
Can't step in my pants, can't walk in my shoes
Bet everything you're worth, you lose your tie and your shirt
[Eminem]
Since I'm in the position to talk to these kids and they listen
I ain't no politician but I kick it wit em a minute
Cuz see they call me a mennace and if the shoe fits I wear it
But if it don't then y'all will swallow the truth, grin and bear it
Now who's the king of these rude ludicrous lucrative lyrics
Who could inherit the title with the youth and the ?
Using his music to steer it, sharin' his views and his merits
But there's a huge interference, they're sayin' you shouldn't hear it
Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's ? for the spirit
Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish
But I'm debated, disputed, hated, and viewed in America
As a motherfuckin' drug addict, like you didn't experiment
That's when you start to stare at who's in the mirror
And see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarassed
And I got nothin' to do but make you look stupid as parents
