[Intro: Capital STEEZ]
Alright
This one goes for Mr. Shawn Carter. I know you probably not listening, but, I'm gonna go for it anyway
Uh, Jay to the STE to Mr. Jay to the Z
Just trying to find the place that you be, uh
[Chorus: Sha-Ron Prescott, Capital STEEZ & Both]
Said, Mr. Carter
Tell me, where have you been?
'Cause I’ve been asking, I’ve been searching
I’ve been wondering why (Look)
Said it's not Mr. Jay to the Z, but it's more Mr. Jay to the STEEZ
I'm just trying to find the place that you be
They’ve been wondering why
[Verse 1: Capital STEEZ]
Look, Said first things first, I STEEZ, am looking for Mr. Carter
Yup, and I'm just getting started
I appreciate the game, and the way that you fathered it
But I've been up to par with all them artists that you partnered with
I noticed I got the home-field advantage
But I show skill, the flow ill, the whole scene panicked
And i'm so real homie's just a ghost and a mannequin
Trying to know who he is under-wraps like bandages
Not to mention that I haven't found a management
Managers try to manage us, but they just couldn't handle it
So I had to make a better image, homie came aggressive wit it
Now the block saying i'm the best to spit it
Well, i'm overflowing with confidence and charm
It's obvious i've been up on my cocky shit
To back it up I got the bars for days
That's why it took us ‘bout a month to make a marvelous tape
[Chorus: Sha-Ron Prescott, Capital STEEZ & Both]
Hey, Mr. Carter
So tell me where you are Mr. Jay, so I can stop calling ya name
'Cause they’ve been asking, I’ve been searching
I’ve been wondering why
Hey, Mr. Carter
Said it's not Mr. Jay to the Z, but it's more Mr. Jay to the STEEZ
I'm just trying to find the place that you be
They’ve been wondering why (uh)
[Verse 2: Capital STEEZ]
Coming from the home place of way too many mouths to be fed
When you make it to be the greatest, or you're probably dead
9 to 5 is the only time you can spend
This is coming from the bottom of my heart and off the top of my head
Freestyling in them hallways all day
Thought that we was balling, that's until we seen Lebron play
Was like you betta step ya shit up kid
We in the school of hard knocks, they got that stick up kid
Its not the fame, your man just turn, switch quick
The unspoken truth so you better keep your lip zipped
An infant to the game about to hit 6 years writing verses and I still ain't get rich?
I guess I'm looking for a man to blame, getting older realizing it'll have to change
So by the age of 21 I'ma have a champagne Range Rover, J Roller and a platinum chain
[Chorus: Sha-Ron Prescott, Capital STEEZ & Both]
Hey, Mr. Carter
Asking me a lot to sing, fuck it
I’ve been asking, I’ve been searching
I’ve been wondering why (Look)
Hey, Mr. Carter
Said it's not Mr. Jay to the Z, but it's more Mr. Jay to the STEEZ
I'm just trying to find the place that you be
They’ve been wondering why (uh)
[Verse 3: Capital STEEZ & Sha-Ron Prescott]
I said there's J-Hova, J-Cole, Jay Elect, Jadakiss
Wale Falorin used to be one of my favorites
Listening to Floetry, Ambrosius was amazing wit it
Been a fresh prince before Will met with Jada Pinkett
I am working part-time just so I can save a few G's
By the time i'm eighteen, make a stable living
My older sisters trying to pay tuition
And i'm just hoping that I can make it to Cablevision
Cause i'm out here scrubbing toilets
Just so i can be the perfect son my mother wanted?
My older cousin doin time for a gun charge
The other moving weight, got niggas tryin to run up on him
My old man took his head off, so you'd be dead wrong just for thinking that I fell off
I just been on vacation for a minute, but the game won't be the same when I'm finished
Do you feel it?
Hey, Mr. Carter
[Verse 4: Capital STEEZ]
Look, the flows I had to switch em up, cause I ain't plan on giving up
I got more wheel power than a semi-truck
As a youngin, I really couldn't remember much
But listening to Juicy when I copped my first sippy cup
I done came full swing as an artist
And kept the underground mind-state like an ostrich
But I still pull strings like guitar picks
So telling me to go harder is no problem
[Chorus: Sha-Ron Prescott, Capital STEEZ & Both]
Tell me, where have you been
I’ve been asking, I’ve been searching
I’ve been wondering why
Mr. Carter
Said it's not Mr. Jay to the Z, it's more Mr. Jay to the STEEZ
I'm just trying to find the place that you be
They’ve been wondering why
Hey, Mr. Carter
[Outro: Capital STEEZ]
And I swear to everything, when I leave this earth
It's gonna be on both feet, never knees in the dirt
I mean, try me, fucking, but when I squeeze it hurts
Lose two lives, yours and mine
Give me any amount of time, don't let my momma grieve
At the funeral parlor dripping tears down her sleeve
Give me any amount of time, don't let my momma grieve
