What We Talkin' About Lyrics - Jay-z

Blueprint trios 

Yeah, yeah 

What we talkin' 'bout real shit or we talkin' 'bout rhymes? 

You talkin' 'bout millions or you talkin' 'bout mine 

What we talkin' 'bout 'cause I ain't got time 

For what people be talkin' 'bout all the time 

What we talkin' 'bout fiction or we talkin' 'bout fact? 

You talkin' 'bout fiction? Hold up, pardon my back 

I'm talkin' 'bout life and all I hear is 

Oh, yeah, he keeps talkin' 'bout crack 

I ain't talkin' 'bout profit, I'm talkin' 'bout pain 

I'm talkin' 'bout despair, I'm talkin' 'bout shame 

I ain't talkin' 'bout gossip, I ain't talkin' 'bout Game 

I ain't talkin 'bout Jimmy, I ain't talkin' 'bout Dame

I'm talkin' 'bout real shit, them people playin' 

What is you talkin' 'bout? I don't know what y'all sayin' 

People keep talkin' 'bout, Hov take it back 

I'm doin' better than before, why would I do that? 

Ain't nothing cool 'bout carryin' a strap 

'Bout worryin' your moms and buryin' your best cat 

Talkin' 'bout revenge while carryin' his casket 

All teary eyed 'bout to take it to a mattress 

I'm talkin' 'bout music, I ain't talkin' 'bout rap 

You talkin' 'bout who's hot, I ain't talkin' 'bout that 

The conversation is changed, let's yap about that 

I don't run rap no more, I run the map 

They talk, we live, we see what 

They say, they say, they say 

They talk, we did, who cares what 

They say, they say, they say 

Photos 

Still they can't' focus on them, they be talkin' 'bout me 

Talkin' 'bout what I wear, talkin' 'bout where I be 

Check out my hair, these ain't curls, these is peas 

Peasey head still get paid, I'm combin' through G's 

Please, we ain't focused on naps 

'Cause I don't run rap no more, I run the map 

A small part of the reason the president is black 

I told him I got him when he hit me on the jack 

Talkin' 'bout progress, I ain't lookin' back 

You know I run track, try not to get lapped 

People keep talkin' 'bout Hov left 'em flat 

Try to rewrite history, let's talk about facts 

Dame made millions even Jaz made some scraps 

He could've made more but he didn't sign his contract 

As far as street guys, we was dealin' crack 

That's just how the game goes, I don't owe nobody jack 

Grown men want me to sit 'em on my lap 

But I don't have a beard and Santa Claus ain't black 

I repeat, you can't sit on my lap 

I don't have a beard, now get off my sack 

Scream at me 

They talk, we live, we see what 

They say, they say, they say 

They talk, we did, who cares what 

They say, they say, they say 

And now that that's that, let's talk about the future 

We have just seen the dream as predicted by Martin Luther 

Now you could choose ta, sit in front of your computa 

Posin' with guns, shootin' YouTube up 

Or you could come with me to the White House 

Get your suit up, you stuck on being hardcore 

I chuck the deuce up, peace out Medusa 

Welcome to the Blue ah Print ah tre piece, Jay-Z your tutor 

Toota of my own horn, beep, beep, move ya 

Ras clot when rude boy come through with the roof up 

So I could see the sky 

'Cause everybody talkin', Hov, I think we know why 

They talk, we live, we see what 

They say, they say, they say 

They talk, we did, who cares what 

They say, they say, they say
