Artist: Jay-Z f/ Pharrell Album: The Blueprint 3 Song: So Ambitious Typed by: Cedmaster3K [Intro: Pharrell] Yeah.. 3 in the morning, on the Westside highway, top down baby Yeah, the motivation for me (fuck y'all!) was them tellin' me what I couldn't be, oh well Hey! Hey! Ohh! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! (Y'all gotta here this shit!) Hey! Hey! [Jay-Z] Blueprint 3 shit... this the Blueprint baby Uh, yeah.. ay, this a, special dedication (thank y'all) I wanna thank you for the fuel, no really thank you ... Hehehe I felt so inspired by what my teacher said Said I'd either be dead or be a reefer head Now sure if that's how adults should speak to kids Especially when the only thing I did was speak in class - I'll teach his ass Even betters what my uncle did I popped my demo tape in, started to beat my head Peaked out my eye, see if he was beatin' his He might as well say "beat it kid, he's on the list!" It's like I'm searchin' for kicks like a sneaker head He gon keep pushin' me until I reach the ledge And when I reach the ledge I'll tell 'em all to eat a dick Take a leap of faith and let my eagle wings spread, spread, spread [Chorus: Pharrell] The motivation for me was them tellin' me what I could not be, oh well Hey! Hey! I'm so ambitious (hey!) I might hit two sisters (hey!) Hey I'm on a mission (hey!) No matter what the conditions (hey!) Forget the personal issues (hey!) when you been what I been through (hey!) Hey if you believe it (then be) then you could conceive it (you see?) Yeah, yeah, yeah [Jay-Z] I had to lace up my boots even harder Father is too far away to father; further-more all the kids either, smoke reefer or either move white; there's few writers in my cypher So they made light of, my type of dreams seem dumb, they said "wise up!" How many guys-a, you see makin 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 gon' be offa what everybody isn't, they don't listen Just whisperin behind my back No vision, lack of ambition, so whack! [Chorus] [Jay-Z] Had a couple of meetings, no offers yet Maybe I ain't good enough for these offices Back to the drawin' board, duckin' officers It's all good cause the streets is A&R'in' this So with or without, any of your involvement We comin' for all of this, respect my conglomerate I went from pauper to the President Every deal I made set precedent Niggas thought I'd fall without old buddy Oh buddy, what I do is make more money Dear Teacher, your probably somewhere near a speaker I'm ballin' outta control, can you hear my sneakers Fuck y'all~! [Chorus] - minus last bar line [Pharrell] The motivation for me was them tellin' me what I could not be
