This is for my niggaz down bottom and them hustlers on twenty-two's 
Single parent mothers in the hood is who I'm talkin to 
I know it's rough in the ghetto but let me walk witchu 
Talk witchu, uh-huh, yeah-hea 
And for the ones who put you down and said you wouldn't make it 
But you still held your ground and came up out that basement 
In the memory of those that we lost, it's deicated 
We miss y'all, uh-huh, yeah-hea 
 
[Jay-Z + (R. Kelly)] 
This right here this whole album's.. 
in the memory of all our fallen soldiers (uh-huh) 
we lost along the way (ohhhhhoooh) knahmsayin, ghetto to ghetto 
City to city, worldwide, we got y'all, y'knahmean? 
(Ghetto America) This album right here represents strength 
(Ohhhh! Yeahhh) Strength in our people, understand it

[Jay-Z] 
We mastered this, don't you know 
I eat beef and breathe acid, weak bastards 
We copped and we crash it 
Then we cop again cause we are classic 
Let me speak for ya R we "Scarface" re-enacted 
"The Godfather" trilogy re-casted 
But it's real like we grievin for Aaliyah with the masses 
But I hope my boy Dash get to see it when he passes 
I feel her soul when the Lee passes 
When the wind blows, it's almost like I see her in the Hamptons 
Even more reason to be up in them mansions 
Laid back, feet up in the hammock, I'ma live for ya 
Big too, 'til they put me in the grave 
I'ma floss 'til they toss me a Bed-Stuy parade 
'Til Chi-Town make a nigga Mayor for a day 
In the memory of Joanne Kelly, let us pray 
 
[R] Both worlds... welcome to the best of both worlds
