Текст Jay-Z — Thank You

[Intro:]
Thank you, thank you very much
For comin’ out this evening.

[Refrain:]
Thank you, thank you, thank you, you’re far too kind,
Hold your applause, this is your song, not mine,
Thank you, thank you, thank you, please hold your applause.

[Verse 1:]
‘Fore I just applied logic keys, keys open doors,

Now I’m balcony, opera, black tux, binocular,
Black luxe, stop it, I shouldn’t be so popular!
Name keep poppin’ up, face keep poppin’ up,
On the tube I’m just watchin’ Pacquaio box ’em up.
How would I know HBO would get a shot of us?
Sittin’ so close that we almost got snot on us,
Please, don’t bow in my presence, how am I a legend,
I just got ten #1 albums, maybe now eleven,
More hits than a Now 11.
That is no reason to treat me like I’m somehow from outta heaven,
Heaven knows that I’ve made my mistakes, thank, God, what a guy as I say my grace!
Who woulda thought by making birds migrate
For the winter I be fly all summer, might I say?

[Refrain]

[Verse 2:]
Hovi Baby, we are really high, really high tonight,
We tip the waiter a hundred dollars to keep the ice cold, alright,
We the last guys to keep the Wise Guys code alive,
If I can’t live by my word then I’d much rather die.
No, no, don’t thank me, this is just how my suit is stitched,
I’m cut from a different cloth, I’m just who the shoe fits,
For the Color Of Money like a Tom Cruise flick,
‘Cept I put eight balls in corners without usin’ pool sticks.
Beautiful music when champagne flutes click,
Beautiful women sippin’ through rouge lips,
Dangers approaches, we’re like, «Wait! Who’s this?»
Let us save you some trouble son, what size suit you is?
This way after the Ruger shoots through a few clips,
You can lay in your casket just as you is.
We appreciate the target practices,
We’ll be sure to send flower baskets, kid.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3:]
I was gonna kill a couple rappers, but they did it to themselves,
I was goin’ do it with the flow, but they did it with their sales,
I was goin’ 9/11 ’em, but they didn’t need the help,
And they did a good job, them boys is talented as hell.
‘Cause not only did they brick they put a building up as well,
They ran a plane into that building and when that building fell,
Ran to the crash site with no masks and inhaled
Toxins deep inside their lungs until both of them was filled.
Blew a cloud out like a L into a jar then took a smell,
‘Cause they heard that second hand smoke kills.
N**gas thought they was ill found out they was ill,
And it’s like you knew exactly how I wanted you to feel.

[Refrain]

[Outro:]
We are really high, really high tonight,
Lucky Lefty, kiss the wife goodnight for me.
