Jay Z Feat. Eminem Lyrics

m_________ers -
Say that Im foolish I only talk about jewels (bling bling)
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?
See Im influenced by the ghetto you ruined
That same dude you gave nothin, I made somethin doin
What I do through and through and
I give you the news - with a twist its just his ghetto point-of-view
The renegade; you been afraid
I penetrate pop culture, bring em a lot closer to the block where they
Pop toasters, and they live with they moms
Got dropped roasters, from botched robberies n____z crotched over
Mommys knocked up cause she wasnt watched over
Knocked down by some clown when child support knocked
No hes not around - now how that sound to ya, jot it down
I bring it through the ghetto without ridin round
Hidin down duckin strays from frustrated youths stuck in they ways
Just read a magazine that f___ed up my day
How you rate music that thugs with nothin relate to it?
I help them see they way through it - not you
Cant step in my pants, cant walk in my shoes
Bet everything you worth; you lose your tie and your shirt

[eminem]
Since Im in a position to talk to these kids and they listen
I aint no politician but Ill kick it with em a minute
Cause see they call me a menace; and if the shoe fits Ill wear it
But if it dont, then yallll swallow the truth grin and bear it
Who could inherit the t__le, put the youth in hysterics
Usin his music to steer it, sharin his views and his merits
But theres a huge interference - theyre sayin you shouldnt hear it
Maybe its hatred I spew, maybe its food for the spirit
Maybe its beautiful music I made for you to just cherish
But Im debated disputed hated and viewed in america
As a m_________in drug addict - like you didnt experiment?
Now now, thats when you start to stare at whos in the mirror
And see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarrased
And I got nothin to do but make you look stupid as parents
You f___in do-gooders - too bad you couldnt do good at marriage!
(ha ha!) and do you have any clue what I had to do to get here I dont
Think you do so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo
Cause here we go - hes {*jigga joint jigga-chk-jigga*}
And Im the sinister, mr. kiss-my-a__ its just the

[chorus: eminem + jay-z]
[em] renegade! never been afraid to say
Whats on my mind at, any given time of day
Cause Im a renegade! never been afraid to talk
About anything (anything) anything (anything), renegade!
[jay] never been afraid to say
Whats on my mind at, any given time of day
Cause Im a {renegade} never been afraid to holler
About anything {anything? } anything {anything!}

[jay-z]
I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles
Pockets filled with a lot of lint, not a cent
Gotta vent, lot of innocent of lives lost on the project bench
Whatchu hollerin? gotta pay rent, bring dollars in
By the bodega, iron under my coat, feelin braver
Doo-rag wrappin my waves up, pockets full of hope
Do not step to me - Im awkward, I box leftier often
My pops left me an orphan, my momma wasnt home
Could not stress to me I wasnt grown; specially on nights
I brought somethin home to quiet the stomach rumblings
My demeanor - thirty years my senior
My childhood didnt mean much, only raisin green up
Raisin my fingers to critics; raisin my head to the sky
Big I did it - multi before I die (n____)
No lie, just know I chose my own fate
I drove by the fork in the road and went straight

[eminem]
See Im a poet to some, a regular modern day shakespeare
Jesus christ the king of these latter day saints here
To shatter the picture in which of that as they paint me
As a monger of hate and satan a scatter-brained atheist
But that aint the case, see its a matter of taste
We as a people decide if shadys as bad as they say he is
Or is he the latter - a gateway to escape?
Media scapegoat, who they can be mad at today
See its easy as cake, simple as whistlin dixie
While Im wavin the pistol at sixty christians against me
Go to war with the mormons, take a bath with the catholics
In holy water - no wonder they try to hold me under longer
Im a m_________in spiteful, delightful eyeful
The new ice cube - m_________ers hate to like you
What did I do? (huh? ) Im just a kid from the gutter
Makin this b___er off these bloodsuckers, cause Im a muhfuckin

[chorus] - repeat 2x
