[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
