Dirt Off Your Shoulders vs. Bittersweet Symphony

[Chorus: Jay-Z]
If you feelin like a pimp [bad word]  go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
Niggaz is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you
Get, that, dirt off your shoulder

[Verse One]
I probably owe it to y'all, proud to be locked by the force
Tryin to hustle some things, that go with the Porsche
Feelin no remorse, feelin like my hand was forced
Middle finger to the Lord, [bad word] grip I'm a boss
Stab the ladies they love me, from the bleachers they screamin
All the ballers is bouncin they like the way I be leanin
All the rappers be hatin, off the track that I'm makin
But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us make it
Came from the bottom the bottom, to the top of the pots [bad word] London, Japan and I'm straight off the block
Like a running back, get it man, I'm straight off the block
I can run it back [bad word] cause I'm straight with the Roc

[Chorus]
Cos' it's a bittersweet symphony this life.

[Chorus: Jay-Z]
If you feelin like a pimp [bad word]  go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off 

[Chorus Two]
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you
die. 
[Chorus: Jay-Z]
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder

[Verse Two]
Your homey Hov' in position, in the kitchen with soda
I just whipped up a watch, tryin to get me a Rover
Tryin to stretch out the coca, like a wrestler, yessir
Keep the Heckler close, you know them smokers'll test ya
But like, fifty-two cards when I'm, I'm through dealin
Now fifty-two bars come it, now you feel 'em
Now, fifty-two cars roll out, remove ceiling
In case fifty-two broads come out, now you chillin
with a boss [bad word] of course S.C. on the sleeve
At the 40/40 club, ESPN on the screen
I paid a grip for the jeans, plus the slippers is clean
No chrome on the wheels, I'm a grown-up for real

[Chorus]
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here in my mold. 
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no 

[Chorus: Jay-Z]
If you feelin like a pimp [bad word]  go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
Niggaz is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you
Get, that, dirt off your shoulder

[Chorus: Jay-Z]
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder

[Verse Three]
Your boy back in the building, Brooklyn we back on the map
Me and my beautiful beeeeeeeitch in the back of that 'Bach
I'm the realest that run it, I just happen to rap
I ain't gotta clap at 'em, niggaz scared of that black
I drop that +Black, Album+ then I back, out it
As the best rapper alive [bad word] axe about me
From Bricks to Billboards, from grams to Grammys
The O's to opposite, Orphan Annie
You gotta pardon Jay, for sellin out the Garden in a day
I'm like a young Marvin in his hey'
I'm a hustler homey, you a customer crony
Got some, dirt on my shoulder, could you brush it off for me?

[Chorus] + [Chorus Two]

You're now tuned into the muh [bad word] greatest

Best rapper alive, best rapper alive
