Momma loved me, pop left me
Mickey fed me, and he dressed me
Eric fought me, made me tougher
Love you for that my nigga no matter what brah
Marcy raised me; and whether right or wrong

Renegade

[Jay-Z]
Motherf***ers -
say that I'm foolish I only talk about jewels
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?
See I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined
That same dude you gave nothin, I made somethin doin
what I do through and through and
I give you the news - with a twist it's just his ghetto point-of-view
The renegade; you been afraid

uh-huh uhh, uhh, uh-uhh
uh-huh uhh, uhh, uhh
whoo! whoo! whoo! whoo!
i, am, back, niggaz
ha ha ha ha ha.. uh-oh, uh-oh, - whoo!
ladies and gentlemen... H, to the izzo
i wanna thank everybody out there for they purchase
i surely appreciate it - whoo!
what you about to witness is my thoughts
just my thoughts man - right or wrong
just what i was feeling at the time, uhh

Turn my music high, high, high, high-er
You don't know...what you're doing, doing, doing, doing
Sure i do...

I'm from the streets where the
Hood could swallow a man, bullets'll follow are followin' me
There's so much coke that you could run the slalom
And cops comb the shit top to bottom
They say that we are prone to violence, but it's home sweet
Where personalities clash and chorme meets chorme
