So Ambitious Lyrics

[**feat. Pharrell:]

[Pharrell:]
Yeah 3 in the morning on the Westside highway, top down baby,
Fuck y’all
The motivation for me was them telling me what I couldn’t be,
Oh well,

[Jay-Z:]
This a special dedication,
I wanna thank you for the fuel,
No really thank you,

I felt so inspired by what my teacher said,
Said I’d either be dead or be a reefer head,
Not sure if thats how adults should speak ta kids,
Especially when the only thing I did was speak in class,
I’ll teach his ass,
Even betters what my uncle did,

I pop my demo tape in start to beat my head,
Peaked out my eye, see if he was beating his,
He might as well-have-said beat it kid, he’s on the list,
It's like Im searching for kicks like a sneaker head,
He gon' keep pushing me until I reach the ledge,
And when I reach the ledge I’ll tell 'em all to eat a d-ck,
Take a leap of faith and let my eagle wings spread,
Spread spread.

[Chorus: ~Pharrell~]
Motivation for me was them telling me what I could not be,
Oh well,
I’m so ambitious,
I might hit two sisters,
Hey I'm on a mission
No matter what the conditions,
Forget the personal issues
When you been what I been through,
[ Jay-Z Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Hey if you believe it,
Then you could conceive it.

[Jay-Z:]
I had to lace up my boots even harder,
Father is too far away to father,
Further-more of the kids either smoke reefer,
Or either move white, theres few writers in my cipher,
So they made lighter, my type a dreams seem dumb
They said wise up, how many guys a you see making it from here,
The world don’t like us, is that not clear, alright,

But I’m different
I can’t base what I’m gonna be off a what everybody isn’t
They don’t listen, just whispering behind my back,
No vision, lack of ambition,
So wack!

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Jay-Z:]
Had a couple of meetings no offers yet,
Maybe I ain't good enough for these offices,
Back to the drawing board ducking officers,
It’s all good cos the streets is A&R’ing this,
So with or without any of your involvement,
Coming for all of this, respect my conglomerate,
I went from pauper to the President,
Every deal I ever made set precedent,

Niggas prob’ly thought I’d fall without ol’ buddy,
Oh buddy, what I do is make more money,
Dear Teacher, your probably somewhere near a speaker,
I’m balling outta control, can you hear my sneakers,
Fuck y’all,

[Repeat Chorus:]
