S. Carter Lyrics by JAY-Z

Headliner & Legends

1999

[Intro: Jay-Z & Amil]
Uh-huh, uh
Uh
Let's rock to

[Chorus: Jay-Z & Amil]
S dot Carter, y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa, niggas can't stop ya
Competition is
No, no, no
S dot Carter, y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa (Geah), niggas can't stop (Yea, yea) ya
Competition is
No, no, no

[Verse 1: Jay-Z & Amil]
Nope, you can't see 'em
Though you got plans to be him
Pay homage if by chance you meet him (Uh-huh)
In his pants pocket (Uh), your advance and per diem
It's the undisputed cham-pion (Wha)
For clique, dough sick, no medicine for us (Uh-huh)
Competition like I said in the chorus
Let me spell it out for ya
Jay to the Amil
A to the Y, stay real (Uh-uh-uhhhh), fuck how they feel, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's how we put it down
Uh-huh, uh-huh y'all gon' get it now
Chip off the old block
Resemble my old pops
'Cept I tote Glocks and open dope spots and I shut down rap crews
Smack up cats who flash tools, laugh at fake ballers with bad jewels
I'll tell you once, this is shit you should've knew
(Jigga what?)
Jigga
(Jigga who?)
Okay

[Chorus: Jay-Z & Amil]
S dot Carter, y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa, niggas can't stop ya
Competition is
No, no, no
S dot Carter, y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa, niggas can't stop ya
Competition is (Uh, uh-uh)
No, no, no

[Verse 2: Jay-Z & Amil]
I'm a Roc-A-fella soldier
I thought I told ya
Hustler, nigga move weight like Oprah (Uh)
Drive wide body, twenty-inch big motor (Uh-huh)
No tints, make no mistake y'all it's Hova (It's Hova)
I stay sportin', played Jordan's before Jordan
Verses tight, hooks harder than Ken Norton
Musically touching you
Truthfully I abuse beats better call BCW
I made my mother move so I have no problem coming 'round the old way, sluggin' you, that's what a thug'll do
Thugget (Uh), bust TECs (Uh), a suspect gangsta (Uh), and I love rough sex
Yeah, that's what's up
Even when I'm asleep, the gats is up
Paranoid like Sunny drive backing up
But I'm from Bed-Stuy, killer with the flow
Let lead fly from out the fofo, motherfuckers

[Chorus: Jay-Z & Amil]
S dot Carter, y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa, niggas can't stop ya
Competition is (Uh-uh)
No, no, no
S dot Carter, y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa, niggas can't stop ya
Competition is
Nope, nope, nope

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
Competition is none (Is none)
I remain at the top like the sun (Like the sun)
And I burn whoever come in my chambers of torture
The flame gon' spark ya
Blood stain the tarp, what remains, they chalk ya
Don't try to smooth talk us

[Verse 4: Amil & Jay-Z, Both]
We got nuttin' to offer (Uh)
But the baby nine and make ya fine offer
This chick is ill
Even (Uh-uh) with four-inch heels, no panties on and Patricia Fields, I get down (Uh-huh)
Just name the time, the place (Uh)
We could, take it back to Vaseline on our face
On a regular day we just (She just), gleam up your space
Rock our own line, got our whole team laced (Uh)
RW with the torch on my jeans by the waist, without heat
We still gon' steam up the place
[?], (Amil-lion) what, uh, (Jigga man) yea, (Flawless) here we come (Everybody wanna be, Roc-A-Fella gangsta) (Here we go), uh-huh, uh

[Chorus: Jay-Z & Amil]
S dot Carter, y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa, niggas can't stop ya
Competition is
No, no, no
S dot Carter, y'all must try harder
Competition is
Nada!
Ladies scream papa, niggas can't stop ya
Competition is
No, no, no
