I want to look sharp
be strong, refuse when I know it's wrong.
I want you to know my name
I want the hottest chick in the game
I want a big heart
and I want a big car
I want to be a self-made man
I want to know the things that he understands

What does he do when he's lost and confused?
What would Jay-Z do?
When i'm feeling blue
What would Jay-Z do?

I want to pay my dues,
a better life I want to choose
I want to seize the day,
vacation in Saint-Tropez
I want to grow through the pain
I want to change the game
But it's times like these when life brings me to my knees

What does he do when it's hard to get through?
What would Jay-Z do?
I'm talking to you
What would Jay-Z do?

Cause you are you
and I am not
So come on, show me what you got
You are you
and I am not
So come on, show me what you got

What would Jay-Z do?
What would Jay-Z do?
What would Jay-Z do?
I'm talking to you
What would Jay-Z do?
