mixtape: I Love You (A Dedication To My Fans) (2011)












Intro lyrics - Jadakiss

Here we go again
You know what it is
Real recognize real
You've seen a lot of emcees come
and go in this game
But me, heh
I'm STILL here!
And I owe it all to you
My fans
So to show my gratitude
AND appreciation
I just wanted to let you know

Hold You Down lyrics - Jadakiss

I love you, muah
Ah, yeah, yo, lot of square feet chopping speed is the minimum
Talk all subliminal in love with a criminal
It's all coming back to the pot no chemicals
She can get hired on the spot no interviews
No carbs, just vitamins, mineral
Riding shotgun in the coop with the general
You go hard for the kid so I'm into you
Yeah, hold you down, that's what I'm fina do

No girls are right, like you do for me baby
That's why I hold you down, that's why I hold you down
Girls don't decide and got I need baby, that's why I hold you down
That's why I hold you down

Yo, cash coming rapidly, chicks coming after me
Here cause I wanna be not cause I have to be
You the one I wanna be with ma actually
I knew you were special cause we hit it off naturally
Had your guards up at first now you're attached to me
Gotta give you all of me, can't give you half of me
You can take your time girl, we gonna move carefully
Hot bath water, the meals you prepare for me
When nobody else was, you were always there for me
And I love myself just need you to care for me
You got more than enough, I owe you now
So it's only right that I hold you down

No girls are right, like you do for me baby
That's why I hold you down, that's why I hold you down
No girls on the side, I got what I need baby, that's why I hold you down
That's why I hold you down

I'll be damned if I let this one get away
She's what I'm wanting, ain't no comparing to you girl
I'm never breakin your heart, concealing games, no need for looking
Cause there none that hurt you girl

Hey girl, it's lame trying to play with you, I'm trying to stay with you
Nah mean? spend forever and a day with you
Never mind them side chicks and they issues
It ain't nothing but bad luck that they wish you
It ain't about them knowing, it's bout the 2 of us
They can't stand to see us doing us
And I told you this is what I go through
But words can't explain it so that's why now I gotta hold you

No girls are right, like you do for me baby
That's why I hold you down, that's why I hold you down
Girls don't decide and got I need baby, that's why I hold you down
That's why I hold you down
You in good hands, we gonna be high, haha, I love you, muah

Lil Bruh lyrics - Jadakiss

[Samples from N*E*R*D's "God Bless Us All"]

[Intro:]
I love you so much
I even went and got the live band
{"Hold your head lil' bruh"} HA HA!

[Jadakiss:]
At times I know life can seem miserable
But lil' bruh you gotta lotta more living to do (live)
You gotta go get, cause they ain't gon' give it to you (nah)
Just watch what you say and watch who you deliver it to (watch)
Put somethin away, cause you'll never know when it rains
And you can never feel the love without knowin the pain (hey)
The bracelet and the pinky ring go with the chain (uh-huh)
These the different kind of jewels though that go in your brain (jewels)
Pray for your downfall, when you doin your thang
If somethin happen while you in charge, then you was to blame (you)
The less co-D's the better, stay fly get cheddar
Don't expect the V.I. off letter (uh-uh)
When you get 'em never let up, when you fall get up (get up)
Wipe the tears off, get the blood and the sweat up (SWEAT!)
If you don't say nuttin you can't be set up (nah)
Always stand tall make sure you hold your head up (hold your head)

[Chorus:]
{"Hold your head lil' bruh"} And you don't stop
{"You're not dead lil' bruh"} Uh-uh... nah

And you don't stop {"I know how it sounds lil' bruh"} ha HAH!
{"But you'll be alright lil' bruh"} Uh-huh

[Jadakiss:]
Yeah, ain't nobody gon' front you (nobody)
There's money out here and you can get it if you want to (get it)
Or you can keep sittin around sayin what'chu gon' do (uh-huh)
If you don't pay attention it's gon' come back to haunt you
Yeah - make saving one of your habits
Never keep the razors and plates under the cabinets (never)
You can get further in life by using manners (uh-huh)
Not only are these cell phones tapped, they usin scanners
Never use your own address, use your nana's (nana)
And if you ever have to pull it out, use your hammer
Yeah - white paper or dutch it
Ha! Automatically clutch it
Once you put it away, don't touch it (don't touch it)
Let it come to you, don't rush it (don't rush it)
Accumulate more than enough shit (yeah)
Then you get in the building and crush it

[Outro:]
{"Forget the latest lil' bruh"} And you don't stop
{"You're the greatest lil' bruh"}
{"You were made to amaze and bring change lil' bruh"}
{"It takes one to no one bruh"}
{"So here's one to grow on bruh"}

How I Feel lyrics - Jadakiss

[samples from Al B. Sure's "Nite and Day"]

[Intro]
Uh, ayyyy!
Duane DaRock good lookin out baby
Ayyy, feel so beautiful
This is the appreciation - I love you
AH HAHH!
{"I'm gonna tell how I feel about, you"} uh-huh
{"How I feel about you!"} Yeah
{"How I feel about you!"} Uhh, yeah

[Jadakiss]
You had a dream that the feds got him
Woke up went and bought every pair of the red bottoms
Yup! Your new beamer is black
You ain't on Madison, you at Neiman's and Saks
At the gym or the salon, food shoppin wit'cha mom
Over one of your girlfriend's house, sippin wine
Why risk it, when you could come home to a Don?
Leave Potsie alone and come home to the Fonz
Gold medal feel so much better than a bronze
You don't have to say nothin, I feel your response
You can get the ring and the house too
Cause that's how I feel about you - hey!

[Chorus]
{"I'm gonna tell how I feel about, you"}
{"How I feel about you! How I feel about you! Yeahhh"}
{"I'm gonna tell how I feel about, you"} uh-huh
{"How I feel about you!"} Yeah
{"How I feel about you!"} HA HAH! Uhh, yo

[Jadakiss]
Slacks with the heels (mm)
Air Max, nice pair of sweats and a ponytail just give me the chills
Yeah - we got our own special handshake
Muah! And she know how I like my pancakes
Off white, three piece with the tan snakes
80 large make her ring finger stand straight (ha ha)
Now I can have a good time with her (yeah)
Chill with me in the spot I used to grind with her
Uhh, that's on everything I kill for her
Say what'chu want, that's just how I feel for her - hey!

[Chorus]
{"I'm gonna tell how I feel about, you"}
{"How I feel about you! How I feel about you! Yeahhh"}
{"I'm gonna tell how I feel about, you"} uh-huh
{"How I feel about you!"} Yeah
{"How I feel about you!"} Uhh, yeah, yo

[Jadakiss]
I gotta play it cool (cool)
Mosaic tiles at the bottom of the pool (mm)
I got 'em cause of you
Washing set, you up under the dryer
Winter time cuddled up under the fire (woo!)
Still there after all that I put her through (yeah)
Don't smoke but sometimes she take a pull or two
Heh, I don't know how I would feel without her
Nah, I just know how I feel about her - hey!

[Outro: repeat 2X]
{"I'm gonna tell how I feel about, you"}
{"How I feel about you! How I feel about you! Yeahhh"}
{"I'm gonna tell how I feel about, you"}
{"How I feel about you! How I feel about you!"}

Rock Wit Me lyrics - Jadakiss (feat. Teyana Taylor)

[Intro: Teyana Taylor]
See me in the club with my bottles up
Tell the bartender he ain't got enough
See me in the club with them models huh
Rock with me now

[Jadakiss]
I'm a hit 'em hard, J to the (MUAH)
No weed on me, left the joints in the car
Cardigan Herme skully with the scarf
You could just look at him and tell that he a boss
Order what you sip on, Louis Vuitton slip-ons
If you can't stay in the race you get skipped on
over for this smooth shit, time for improvement
Elegant wrist wear, Turbian movement
Yeah - it's twelve bottles to a table
Gamblin wit'cha life, playin lotto wit'cha label
You always in the red but they object is to pay you
Then you wonder why I'm in the projects with the llello
Shrimp's in the music, accordin to how you use it
But when you get addicted to somethin, you abuse it
Yeah - we gon' drink 'til the sunlight
You listen here, I don't do it unless it's done right
WHAT?!

[Chorus: Teyana Taylor (Jadakiss)]
See me in the club with my bottles up (you see me)
Tell the bartender he ain't got enough (reload me)
See me in the club with them models huh (hey lovely, ha)
Rock with me now
(Right now I'm in my prime) rock with me now
(I've always been ahead of my time) so rock with me now
(I ain't here to tell you no lies) rock with me now
(I'm top five dead or alive) rock with me now

[Jadakiss]
Yeah - I'm gettin money ain't nuttin new
Nah, you should see they face when I'm comin through
Hah, bunch of weirdos lookin corny
Started off with blue jeans and I took it to Barney's
Keep your girl over there if you notice she horny
Should have left her in the crib if you know that she on me
Bars is Polish Spring, the flow is Dasani
Purple label, that's why you ain't notice the phony
Ha ha! You see the difference in the stones
Forty cal kick back different when it's chrome
And now I react a little different cause I'm grown
Sour come out when the piff is all gone
Stay given them hell, keep heaven with me
I seen the game wear the rim out, that's a trip B
Comin down 7th in a new 750
And all I do is pray that the feds never get me
What?!

[Chorus - repeat 2X]

In The Streets lyrics - Jadakiss

[Chorus:]
I'm in the streets getting money [x3]
I'm in these streets, Hustlin every day
I'm in the streets getting money [x3]

Yo, I'm on the block faithfully, got it so good if I'm late then wait for me.
Mama please pray for me. The devil does things in the worst ways,
In the ER waiting to hear what the nurse say.
I had payed more for funerals then birthdays, finish a whole one in a half by thursday.
(Word) So just imagine what I'm sittin with, and I ain't splittin it, I'm out here gettin it.

[Chorus:]
I'm in these streets, I cant get away
I'm in the streets getting money [x3]
I'm in these streets, Hustlin every day
I'm in the streets getting money [x3]

Organization is smooth and ran with a tight lip,
get rid of the work and hold the bread with a tight grip.
Trust fund baby in a cut with a white chick.
Was in a choke hold, now its in a vice script.
And even though my arm still strong with the dices, drug dealer, I don't do jooks or hices.
The fame is alright but the game is priceless, my heart beating but I'm still out here lifeless.

[Chorus:]
I'm in these streets, I cant get away
I'm in the streets getting money [x3]
I'm in these streets, Hustlin every day
I'm in the streets getting money [x3]

Start off with a wish if you wanna grant shit, I was never a worker, I always ran shit.
(True) They was doin shelves, I did the stand smiths.
My hair used to be nappier than Durant's shit.
Where they got the work at? How much the grams is,
Build it up to a key that's what the plan is.
You ain't got no fam just you and your manses, out here taking penitentiary chances.

[Chorus:]
I'm in these streets, I cant get away
I'm in the streets getting money [x3]
I'm in these streets, Hustlin every day
I'm in the streets getting money [x3]
I'm in these streets, I cant get away
I'm in these streets, Hustlin every day

Lay 'Em Down lyrics - Jadakiss (feat. Styles P, Chynk Show)

[Intro: Jadakiss]
Uh Huh! I just want to tell you that I love you
Yeah! And I appreciate everything you done for me thus far
EH HEH!

[Chorus: Chryk Show (Jadakiss)]
When they ask we don't play around (Nah!)
Know that, roll that, and then we lay 'em down (Yeah!)
Niggas hustle on the block with them K's 'round
Gettin fast paper keep the chopper just to lay 'em down (Lay 'em down)
If you try, give that lame a lullaby
Make 'em touch the sky, and if we gotta we lay 'em down (Lay 'em down)
Trust me, if I gotta spray the pound
I won't hesitate, for one second to lay it down

[Verse 1: Jadakiss (Styles P)]
Yo! Another man down let me see you try to live through 'em
(I had the whole town talkin 'bout what I did to 'em)
Funny how quick they forget what I did to 'em
(Life or death situation I had I split through 'em)
Still left the click off (Couple more to pick off)
When the drama is lit you can't cut the quick off
(Streets taught him well, learned it until it cost him)
Precipitated the hate and turned it into a fortune
(Never would have tried his hand, but they forced him)
So right after they fried his man, then they offed him
(Yeah you know the G's) They may stop right below the knees
(Four door shit from overseas)
Undreboss from the other side
(Blame me when you hear that they killed his whole mother's side)
Never the money, always for the love of I
(After you put him to bed) I sing him a lullaby
MUAH!!!!

[Chorus: Chryk Show (Jadakiss)]
When they ask we don't play around (Nah!)
Know that, roll that, and then we lay 'em down (Yeah!)
Niggas hustle on the block with them K's 'round
Gettin fast paper keep the chopper just to lay 'em down (Lay 'em down)
If you try, give that lame a lullaby
Make 'em touch the sky, and if we gotta we lay 'em down (Lay 'em down)
Trust me, if I gotta spray the pound
I won't hesitate, for one second to lay it down

[Verse 2: Jadakiss (Styles P)]
Yo! Give that lame a lullaby (Bedtime story)
You wouldn't die if dude (Fed time for me)
You 'gon fuck around and make the (Headline story)
Bitch in the whip lettin it (Redline for me)
Buck ninety somethin on the freeway (Sucker free!)
Five less than twenty for the bird (Nigga fuck with me!)
Three less that six for the P (Get it on the arm!)
Organic dope 'cause (You can get it on the farm)
(I'm a Godfather) I'm a Don
(My bond is my word) Word is my bond
(Can't be stopped in the first or the (Fourth quarter)
(Work comin in on the docks, now that's a) Boss order
(Big diamonds, clear like) Horse water
(Payin money to the judge fuck the!) Court order!
(Do it Big like) Frank White
And The K will put your brains on the floor (Like it ain't right)
WHAT!

[Chorus: Chryk Show (Jadakiss)]
When they ask we don't play around (Nah!)
Know that, roll that, and then we lay 'em down (Yeah!)
Niggas hustle on the block with them K's 'round
Gettin fast paper keep the chopper just to lay 'em down (Lay 'em down)
If you try, give that lame a lullaby
Make 'em touch the sky, and if we gotta we lay 'em down (Lay 'em down)
Trust me, if I gotta spray the pound
I won't hesitate, for one second to lay it down

Toast (Intro) lyrics - Jadakiss

[tapping on his glass] A-hem
I'd like to say a few words
[coughing] Excuse me
I thank all y'all for comin out tonight
We all gathered here at this table, to celebrate
the brothers we lost in the struggle
Those that fell victim to the street
All our loved ones behind the wall
And most of all to the new up and coming cats
Paying homage, to those that paved the way
Let's toast to that, CHEERS! [glasses clink]
AH-HAH!

Toast To That lyrics - Jadakiss (feat. Fred The Godson)

So let’s toast to that!
Gangsta celebration!
So let’s toast to that!
Gangsta celebration!
Let’s toast to that!

Toast to the street life, this is how we eat right
Strip harsh Chris Bosh
Gotta keep the heat tight
Toast to the connect
Cheers to the cheap price,
Toast to those few fellows avoiding the three strikes
New range the cash we took
I threw shoes on the sport it got athletes foot
The God flash the gems I nicknamed your girl Kim
Cause every time the car dash she in
Yeah, I used to scrape the plate, brillow
Had the head swinging back and forth, willow!
Cops try to ban from the court, Bill O'!
Riley stay with his girl, but he know,
She ain’t a dime, I can see that cellulite shit!
those are just dimes i can see they sell you like shit,
Fred the Godson, Jadakiss was close to that,
Now let’s toast to that!

[Chorus:]
So let’s toast to that!
Just bring the bottles to me!
If you got ‘em from the streets
you probably got 'em from me
So let’s toast to that!
The street took some of my closest friend
this ain't for ya'll this a toast to 'em
So let’s toast to that!
Gangsta celebration!
So let’s toast to that!
Gangsta celebration!
Let’s toast to that!

Oho! Still squeezing the juice out of the headphones,
Yeah! Put your bottles in the air and make noise with ‘em!
Send your girls to the rear and let my boys hit ‘em!
Fifty large, all hundreds, chip ahoys with em (Cash)
Four length minks on all the toys with ‘em,
For those not here, for those still employed with ‘em,
We celebratin' the times we enjoyed with ‘em!(Yes!)
In a way a part of me was destroyed with ‘em!
Try talking to the Lord, I get annoyed with ‘em,
Things take a hit to feel like Floyd hit ‘em (Mayweather)
It was never beef everything was soy with 'em
Ex-rhythm hunter used to enjoy rhythm.
As the years went by, he learned more wisdom,
Always kept cigars and burn moralism
We all die the object is to avoid prison,
Yeah! If you ain't paying respect, then you supposed to,
Cause that’s really something to toast to!

[Chorus:]
So let’s toast to that!
Just bring the bottles to me!
If you got ‘em from the street,
You probably got ‘em for me!
The street some of my closest friends,
This ain't for ya'll this a toast to 'em
Let’s toast for that!
We gotta toast to that!
So let’s toast to that!
Gangsta celebration!
So let’s toast to that!
Gangsta celebration!
Let’s toast to that!

Yeah! Watch me do a rally if you’re between the streets,
and may all your ups and downs be in between sheets.
Only two choices the powder or the hard,son
Jada the forefather and Fred the Godson!

Jadakiss... Fred is the future,
It’s about to get ugly, Medusa!
Life still a bitch, when I spit, I seduce her,
Toast from the balls to the shoes.

[Chorus 2x]
So let’s toast to that!
Just bring the bottles to me!
If you got ‘em from the streets
you probably got 'em from me
So let’s toast to that!
The street took some of my closest friend
this ain't for ya'll this a toast to 'em
So let’s toast to that!
Gangsta celebration!
So let’s toast to that!
Gangsta celebration!
Let’s toast to that!

Inkredible Remix lyrics - Jadakiss (feat. Trae Tha Truth, Rick Ross)

[Rick Ross]
Trae I see you! Rose' (In-Inkredible..)
You know what it is (Maybach Music)
My attitude is fuck it, house big as Publix
Shoppin is a pleasure, pinky ring a nugget
Niggaz like the ride, sip lean out the bucket
I lean to the side, white whip, Michael Douglas
Hard times, call for drastic measures
I call my dog, he bought a mac 11
Forty rounds hollerin WHERE THE YELLOW AT
Nigga dead serious, chopper with a shoulder strap
Microphone Michael Corleone, I know I'm wrong
The man up above love for me to sing them poems
So sing along, you know the song I sing
Bring them things along, I gotta feed the team
It's ROSE! I need hundred bottles
Yellow bitches, all of 'em swallow
H-Town, nigga three-oh-five
I can move them packs, each and every night

[Trae Tha Truth]
Uhh, gyeah...
Triple black pan the mirror Phantom of the streets
Quarterbackin bricks on top of these glass cleats
All these stones around my neck and wrist part of the streets
Used to temper somethin in danger, now it's part of my seats
I'm in the hood under surveillance buncha haters watchin
Couple choppers out for dinner, failin ain't a option
Reclinable seats, invisible ceilings
Competition is murder, haters I'm killin
Fuck a money machine, I don't count it I blow it
Bitch my money conceited, it look good when I throw it
I'm a asshole, therefore my temper is reckless
I'm the city of Houston, you can tell them it's Texas
The king of the streets, somewhere deep with guerillas
Behind somethin that's tinted, bitch you see the gorillas
These other niggaz yellin Truth, they only imitation
And when I see them it's fuck 'em minus the penetration

[Jadakiss]
Uh-huh... ah-hah!
Yeah, uhh
I'm gettin situated, I know you bitches hate it
I'm in a new Aston, the one Swiss created
I can't give you a dime, but I can get you faded
Before you become a member you get initiated (uh-huh)
A lot of racks, big ice, heavy weapon
The hood still love me cause I never left them (uh-uh)
I distribute it (yeah) I get rid of it (yup)
It's all comin back (uhh) every bit of it
I'm territorial, it's your memorial (yeap)
And don't feel bad, I'm talkin to all of you
This is real shit, and that's nonsense (uh-huh)
I got AK's (what?) I got Thompsons
I got investors (yeah) I get sponsors (uh)
They scared of the crew (scared) I'm with monsters (what?)
And ain't nothin forsure but we touchin the raw (uh)
And they gotta let us in or we rushin the door

Gone Too Long lyrics - Jadakiss

Its been to long and I cant do this baby
said your coming home but you've been gone to long
Its been to much of the same thing baby I cant take no more you been gone to long

It started off asking you to pray for me
now I'm on the phone begging you to wait for me
I've completed alot of programs so when I see the
board now they should have a date for me, I hear it
in your voice that your getting tired when I ask do u
love me you getting quit love me one day at a time I'm
just gettin by it when the meda runs out time get expired

Its been to long and I cant do this baby
said your coming home but you've been gone to long
Its been to much of the same thing baby I cant take no
more you been gone to long

This jail shit is corny really startin to bore me and
you gettin fed up on top of that you horny I knew that
would happen cause u couldn't asure me you dealt with a
niqqa that did time way before me you ain't look happy to
see me when you saw me you don't even write me back you just
ignore me you don't even answer the jack you just record me
guess I been gone to long you cant support me

Its been to long and I cant do this baby
said your coming home but you've been gone to long
Its been to much of the same thing baby I cant take no
more you been gone to long

In the pentantitary my name rank when I come home its
the same thing guess you gotta take what the game brings
niqqaz change but alot will remain wayne thinking about it
while I sit here besides like ain't shit fair I ain't herd from
her this year guess I'll try to make it better when I get there

Its been to long and I cant do this baby
said your coming home but you've been gone to long
Its been to much of the same thing baby I cant take no
more you been gone to long

See I been holding you down for a minute and its been like
forever since we did it and the nights have been hell without
you baby and everyday I feel like I'm going crazy cause you told
that this would be the last time but u said the same thing last time
and I promised myself that I'm through cryin so I guess Imma have to leave him behind

Its been to long and I cant do this baby
said your coming home but you've been gone to long
Its been to much of the same thing baby I cant take no more you been gone to long
