Jay-Z and Kanye West “Murder To Excellence” lyrics off their Watch The Throne album.
- (Jay-Z)
- Bloody Murder, murder murder (x4)
- (Kanye West)
- The paper read murder, Black on black murder
- The paper read murder, Black on black murder
- (Jay-Z)
- This is to the memory of Danroy Henry
- Too much enemy fire to catch a friendly
- Strays from the same shade, Ni**a we on the same team
- Giving you respect, I expect the same thing
- All black everything, Ni**a you know my fresh code
- I’m out here fightin’ for you, Don’t increase my stress load
- Ni**as watchin’ the throne, Very happy to be
- Power to the people, When you see me, see you
- (Kanye West)
- And I’m from the murder capital, Where they murder for capital
- Heard about at least 3 killings this afternoon
- Lookin’ at the news like damn I was just with him after school,
- No shop class but half the school got a tool,
- And I could die any day type attitude
- Plus his little brother got shot reppin’ his avenue
- It’s time for us to stop and re-define black power
- 41 souls murdered in 50 hours
- The paper read murder, Black on black murder,
- The paper read murder, Black on black murder again
- Murder again…
- Is it genocide?
- Cause I can still hear his momma cry, Know the family traumatized
- Shots left holes in his face, Bout piranha-size
- The old pastor closed the cold casket
- And said the church ain’t got enough room for all the tombs
- It’s a war going on outside we ain’t safe from
- I feel the pain in my city wherever I go
- 314 soldiers died in Iraq
- 509 died in Chicago
- (Jay-Z)
- I arrived on the day Fred Hampton died
- Real niggas just multiply
- And they say 21 I was supposed to die
- So I’m out here celebratin’ my post demise
- If you put crabs in a barrel to insure your survival
- You gon’ end up pulling down niggas that look just like you
- What up blood? What up cuz?
- It’s all black, I love us
- (Kanye West)
- The paper read murder, Black on black murder again
- (Jay-Z)
- It’s a celebration of black excellence
- Black tie, black Maybachs
- Black excellence, opulence, decadence
- Tuxes next to the president, I’m present
- I dress in Dries and other boutique stores in Paris
- In sheepskin coats, I silence the lamb
- Do you know who I am Clarice?
- No cheap cologne whenever I “shh-shh”
- Success never smelled so sweet, I stink of success
- The new black elite They say my black card bear the mark of the beast
- I repeat, My religion is the beat
- My verse is like church, My Jesus piece Now please, domino, domino
- Only spot a few blacks the higher I go
- What’s up to Will, Shoutout to O
- That ain’t enough, We gon need a million more
- Kick in the door, Biggie flow
- I’m all dressed up with nowhere to go
- (Kanye West)
- Yea it’s all messed up when it’s nowhere to go
- So we won’t take the time out til we reach the T O P
- From paroles to hold G’s, sold keys, low keys
- We like the promised land of the OG’s
- In the past if you picture events like a black tie
- What the last thing you expect to see, black guys
- What’s the life expectancy for black guys?
- The system’s working effectively, that’s why
- I’ll be a real man and take care of your son
- Every problem you had before this day is now done
- New crib, watch a movie
- Cause ain’t nothin on the news but the blues
- Hit the mall, pick up some Gucci
- Now ain’t nothin new but your shoes
- Sunday morning, Praise the Lord
- You the girl that Jesus had been saving me for
- So let’s savor this moment, And take it to the floor
- Black excellence, Truly yours
