Jay-Z part of Lost+ lyrics

 

Can anyone understand and write down what he's singing? I'd be really grateful! I can't find it anywhere yet :(

 

PS Oh, and I thought I saw somewhere on coldplay.com a link to listen to the entire broadcast from yesterday. Anyone has the link? Or was it coldplaying.com? :P Can't find now.

Just go to the MM section here or to Zane Lowe's page on Radio One :wink:

MEH. I like Jay Z and all, but his other collabs are wayyyyyy better. Mr Carter =<3. I don't think they've got that great of chemistry when it comes to collaborating, nice try and all but no.

With the same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with

Shit that's only half if they like you

That ain't even the half what they might do

Don't believe me aks Michael

See Martin, see Malcolm

See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome

See Jesus, see Judas

See Caesar, see Brutus

See success is like suicide

Suicide, it's a suicide

If you succeed prepare to be crucified

Uh, media meddles, niggas sue you, you settle

Every step you take they remind you, you ghetto

So it's tough being Bobby Brown

To be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now

Now the question is "Is to have had and lost

Better than not having at all?"

Because.....

 

It's an old verse by the way. From a song he did about Basquiat called Most Kings, was supposed to be on Kingdom Come but got scrapped. He did the verse on Hot 97 for a freestyle a couple of years back, but it sounds much better on this track. As Chris was involved in the Kingdom Come sessions, he probably heard the original and asked specifically for this verse to use in the remix. Good choice, sounds great to me.

Thanks Ether! ;)

Its alright I suppose but it wrecks the song. They last two lines are the best in the whole verse.
