[Pogneman]

underrated album.

[RalphFee]

I don't know how u don't put jay in your top 5. Just look at his catalog. Damn. It kills me when people say he overrated. Is nas better? Possibly. But Jay is a legend as well. On another note I do beats. Stop by and check em out. All feedback and love will be appreciated, one.

[TheLordChuks]

Wow! Dis fuck Jæy-she. I wonda wot a gud fool lyk im tinkin in'im heart. I hate him lyk i hate an infectd & stinkin pussy. Lyk him, fuck u2.

[01Volume]

whats the Al Greene song he samples for like 1 second?

[blazestrong]

jay z > todays rap game

[HipHopQueenification]

Really good song, it's real!

[BruceBanner2010]

2 people apparently think that Lil Wayne's line "...Get it leave 'em dead in the living room"...is the sickest shit they've heard...

Fuckin morons...

[jaydoug11]

y go all the way to an artist page just to hate...if u dont like him dont come to this page...its simple...

[transamerica1000]

i love this song!!! :)

[RyanFischer1]

I didnt choose this life this life chose me, I guess we should all pray......

Delivery me in thy righteousness

it cause me to escape and climb thy air until i am

Save me lord

[maxima255]

jduggle u r dam rite

[NIKKI3088715]

good ass music

[AFCA09100]

I sense Emotions in this.. jayz talking about praying to god, beyonce to.. Where the fuck are the people who call him a devil worshipper now ??

[3y3S9y]

@AFCA09100 pay attention please....its not a prayer to what you would refer to as God (Jesus) by any means...listen to the last part...the part where all nations shall call him blessed..yeah....analyze the lyrics...thank you ....but its a ill song dont get me wrong i oculd care less who he prays too :)) Jay Z is one of the greatest to ever do it...but no...hes not praying to The Heavenly Father...

Love and Peace

[AFCA09100]

@3y3S9y I never thought about that to be honest lol, but in another song, called 'Stranded' he does talk about praying, to the heavenly father. And I agree, I dont care about it to, jay is a g.o.a.t, and what he does in his personal life isnt my buisseness. Peace

[distantdreamer92]

I can't believe i havn't heard this before. AMAZING ! !

[Mr4nders0n1]

One of Jay's sickest songs... but can u not get it on iTunes? That's prob why there hasn't been a million plus a few million views

[konshispilot]

"Treat shame with shamelessness" <--- the sole reason he rose above the ashes. get it straight.

[Valkyrjah]

For the most part I listen to rock and metal. This song is absolute genius. The lyrics, as a lot of you have pointed out in the comments, are genius.

I could listen to this song probably forever.

[mrmillion94]

''AM TRYNA BEAT LIFE, COZ I CANT CHEAT DEATH'' HOW REAL IS THAT?

[mrmillion94]

u need some intelligence, or experience of what Jay's talking bout to understand!

[TrDrop]

There should be way more views here... such a real song

[derwoods81]

one day you'll understand when u become a man bout things u have to get u... fast forward freeze frame with my pistol, fist full of dollars ignorance is so blissful

damn... enough said

[TheCODFather58]

I like those first two lines he spits

[uzamaki4th]

nas killed him ne way

[foeberri]

@uzamaki4th yes he did but nas was scared of being a leader thats why jay suceeded and he didnt , everybody in the industry say thats what they dont like about nas he can talk the talk but cant walk the walk

[SuperHiphop100]

best rapper alive nuff said

[japoslocos]

@SuperHiphop100 lol

[afgths]

I dont even listen to hip hop or rap very often. But I can appreciate good music when I hear it. Jay-Z undoubtedly has musical talent beyond 95% of the modern music scene today. The composition not only of his rhymes but his beats and his entire albums demonstrate this clearly enough.

[upernappy]

this is so dopeee. i think im getting a contact high lol

[babby9882]

story telling. brooklyn shyt.

[play889]

na the only one with skills now a days is ya boy!

[lrod408]

I beat life and can beat deaths stinky breath, rocking out with a wreath on my neck, growing like a palo alto tree, set me free

Crazy arrowhead indian, drinking water out of an alhambra blue lake, drink water no matter how deep and well I see

aztec blood seeing red and always loving those in blue, cops, thugs, do not shoot and hancuff

gangster homie in red and blue, rep the red and blue, think it through, it would be best to fuck the cuff

[ChallengeVHS]

can't cheat death remix >>> this.

[KarrieMoore5]

mp3iifffy now lets you grab cd-quality VEVO videos and HD YouTube videos to convert into mp3s. AWESOME> google mp3iifffy.

[pukeythe3rd]

i got the cd it does not sound like this the cd one sounds sooo sickk

[iamtay328]

Wow I wouldnt think i hear this song again..i heard it at my cousin funeral..good song but heard it at the wrong time

[droptop6969]

this song is great

[jackthegiant85]

this is the best song jay-z ever wrote! no questions asked or debate needed, the beat, the chorus, the story in it, everything just works!

[magnet850]

look...everybody entitled to their thoughts...but this man got the skill to flow AND flow about something thats reall..all the time...definately one of the top rappers in the game..past and present..to me at least....forever young!

[Jhofred12]

fuck i forgot wat time dis song came out

[pedroskates123]

r u kidding me jay is the best rapper alive and if u dont get trhat from his lyrics and beats then ur retarted you cant make raps this good unless you havbe dealt with tough times so obviously hes not a "fake gangster"

[mikesdjftr]

no rapper is the best

[TheMMasTerM]

ok what does he want say in this song.i mean every rapper claims to be a gangster.i don't know what they find interesting in that life it's like they are afraid and try to show power that doesn't really exisits to protect them.

[salmannooman92]

Jay z is lame

the only song that he made that is actually real rap is renegade and it was only good because eminem is in it

[TheMMasTerM]

well that's true he really sucks ,his rap doesn't make sense, i don't know why people listen to his music.

[87YoungRemy]

Fool do u just listen to music or u just skim thru it?

[TheMMasTerM]

what's ur problem? I forgot when I wrote that,and fuck u what do know about music? u call this crap music?and jay-z is the best crapper alive,so pray for him.stupid youngremy.

[berkev8795]

@TheMMasTerM

thats why he has 8 grammys? Cuz hes a ''crapper''. your so creative with your insults

[TheMMasTerM]

THANK YOU

8 grammys still he sucks

[jaydoug11]

then why are you listening to his song then

[Anto8787]

lmao 8 grammys and he still sucks? Your favorite rappers probably dont even have 1.

[bizarrebob]

@Anto8787 - So getting an award instantly makes you good? There's underground rappers 100x better than Jay-z but they'll never get the recognition they deserve.

[Anto8787]

@bizarrebob Lol? Did I say getting an award make you good? Lil Wayne has awards and he's not even great at all. There are plenty of nice underground rappers. The only problem is, they can never break into the industry because they can't show a style of music which is promotable.

[87YoungRemy]

Well Im a quote what he said he in that song do you fools just listen to music or do u just skim thru it Jay-z The Best Rapper Breathing do yo homework

[salmannooman92]

its just that his songs are so boring

his flow is not good..

for example lil wayne has a nice flow

eminem has a nice flow

jay z eeeehhh NADA!!!

[MeAndAmandaGetItOn]

he has one of the best flows ever, your retarded.

[salmannooman92]

your an ass.....

[TruthsImage]

Jay-Z is one of the best im geussing you dont listen to much old school hip-hop ir never heard Jay-z when he was younger in his prime.

[salmannooman92]

wack ass nigga or should i say jigga

[JASONMOORE87]

Diddy made this track! :D

[kirkys255]

Awesome song ... if i was a boxer of a UFC fighter this sure would be my entrance theme song!

[Jabbaro123]

This one of the most serious Jay Z track's that i have ever heard!

[samisab786]

Pray is basically my favorite Jay-Z song of all time. People who think he's a devil worshiper or whatever need to look at songs like these and re-read his lyrics twice. He's got poetical talent.

[87YoungRemy]

Jay-z my nigga & I heard that bullshit bout him being a devil worshiper that shit ain't true is it

[FernandoTorresLover4]

lol same here, im not sure either, i mean who can trust websites nowdays, even a lil boy on 12 can make one and talk shit about everyone and everything..

[polarBEAR819]

yeah it is true

[salmannooman92]

@87YoungRemy yeah it is true hes in the illuminati click....

[shanetime06]

It's amazing how Jay is Kanye's Big Brother and helped him but since Kanye started making original music and talking about serious issues I can see that Jay seems to sometimes try to do what Kanye is doing...like it flipped.

[smellybrad1985]

this whole album was based through the eyes of Franc Lucas (american gangster) so its a mix of J and franc. good album though. hope that makes sense

[blackheartxo88]

haha "i hear a car go vroom"

good song i like ittt =]

[Ra20077]

jim jones is a joke

[sae05z]

dis song is great 4 ma hiphop dance.

[gailswfc1]

WHO THE FUCK IS JAY Z

[Technicaldeathstrike]

HE IS THE REALEST RAPPA ON thE PRESENT TIME

[talkwallstreetdotorg]

"bad drug dealer or I victim I beg

what came first moving chickens or the egg?"

Very good question

[WERDdaMotha]

simply put hes on a higher echelon than the rest of these bozos

[millwallfan120]

Jay is washed up, even Jim Jones said Jay-Z aint relevant anymore, and Jim is usually right about everything.

[xmeister329]

true artists don't care if they're relevant

[wiki8702]

how aint he relevent?

[KorrectErra]

U forreal? jim Jones is possibly the MOST irrelivant rapper since Benzino. LOL...no one listen to that dude. C'mon man, wake the fuck up

[FelixEscobar187]

one of the greatest songs ever!

[TC3t]

This song and Beach Chair with Chris Martin should've been singles, or at least gotten a lot more attention they are lyrically his best songs in a long long time

[Heezey]

Soo true without a doubt beach chair wus soooo deep.

A blueprint for u to print

a map for u to get back

a guide for ur eyes so u wont lose scent

i make a stink for u to think that i ink

these verses full of pros so u get conned out of 2 cent.

PURE LYRICAL PWNAGE U CANT HATE ON HIM IF HE CAN DO THAT

[Aphasia17]

this is too much for the average twat

[niqueo01]

great song

[soulbrother1024]

will i am, man, im really glad when i realized this track is u.

u bring hot track in main-street which is totally differed from a lot of shit.

[Heezey]

fast forward freeze frame on my pistol fist full of dollars ignorance is so blissful -alliteration Uh oh this is why I be so fresh I'm trying to beat life because I can't cheat death -Paradox more uh oh as the incents burn and the turn tables turn and that Al Greens plays i see my mother's afro as momma taps her toes as she rolls her jays -imagery ...So hold up that means hes not just a rapper hes a poet

[jduggie]

Don't forget the metaphor within the simile

"Move coke like Pepsi no matter what the brand name is"

And the Irony plot in the second verse as the cops being the bad guys after-all....

Jigga-hov needs to stop cuz he's jus too much and these rap fans don't give him the credit he deserves... comparing him to Wayne and shit

[brysondaking]

u aint never lied...i get tired of people tryin so hard to compare him to other rappers...he is on another planet than this other dudes...if they actually listened to the man then they would know who the best is easily...it takes a certain person to understand jay

[rozay604]

@jduggie that was the weakest line in the song buddy

i can go all day with shit like dat on streriods tho comin out of waynes mouth

fuck this faggot jay z

[jaydoug11]

@rozay604 then y listen... seems like ur just wasting ur own time

[parag92]

so true, don't forget he is also telling a story while creating this poem.

THE GOAT

[JAKOBELROLLER]

the fresh galaxy beat goes more with this song//.

[candymanego]

i respect this man

[MobiusX]

[pzoxic12345]

JayZs lyrics are just crazy one of his bests so far and the way he raps is similar to kanYe West

[junmr2]
