Текст песни Friend Or Foe '98, Jay Z

I'm done talkin',
Ran up in the spot gun smokin',
Shot it in the air, one woke him,
Son soakin', sweatin' in his bed like, ‘Done lockin'.
Thinkin' to himself what done provoked him,
His thoughts is racin' like a Vulcan,
I swear I saw a lightbulb when
He finally realized who was the culprit.
I said, ‘Yeah, remember me from ‘Friend or Foe' when
I told you don't ever ever come around here no more.
Time to pay now, you try to rise, I wave the gun, lay down,
This time you really goin' to listen to Jay now.
I try to talk sensibly, hopin' that eventually you realize,
I had this locked, and it just wasn't meant to be.
Plus, I had sympathy when we all bought rims with your keys,
And it was an afterthought that maybe you'll try to avenge me,
But I was like, “Nah!” Homes had to know he was wrong.
And if you caught me on the foul now, you would sing me the same song,
Plus, you promised and that's really no fun,
And here I find you in this Motel 6 with all these guns,
And all your goons, lined up in adjoinin' rooms,
Like some wild cowboys comin' to get me at high noon.
But my mind's like a flower in bloom,
Peep how my eyes just scour the room,
I'm alert, plus, I paid the clerk I got it laid out,
You think you the first nigga I played out, in a two-hotel town?
Come on now, I peeped your Lexus AS. you
Left the exit. got some niggas on that side of the town,
Money well invested'. Rudely interrupted,
Jamaican accents.
– Bwoy, you know who you dun fucked with?
‘A gun in your face and that's all you can come up with?'
I'm done talkin', back up and clap them, one in the abdomen.
Do me a favor, dude, get two ice cubes, I pass them,
Take that ice up, for the nicest MC,
And, please, yo, tell Big, he's unbelievable.
Friend or foe, biatch!
