Jay-z Say Hello Lyrics

Say Hello Lyrics

It's that Roc-A-Fella music, soulful



Say hello to the bad guy, they say I'm a bad guy

I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly

They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint

They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't



They say I'm a bad guy, say hi to the bad guy

I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly

They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint

They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't

They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't



I ain't playin', life's short so I aim

I ain't waiting for life to start portrayin' em

It's twice as hard to get a job as payin' 'em

So I ain't payin' attention to what you're sayin'



Raindrops keep fallin' on my brain

Constant in the drop, all flames

I'm so hot even if the weather change

I don't have no top, I'm insane



'Member dark-skinned Jermaine

Who swayed in the rain, we sorta kinda the same

'Cept, I'm no lame and you gonna know my name

Before I go the world gon' feel my pain



They sayin', I'm a bad guy, why's that?

'Cause when my back's against the wall, nigga I react

Secretly though, I know you admire that

You wish you had the balls to fire back

Say hello, uh uh, hello, uh uh

You wish you had the balls to fire back



Say hello to the bad guy, they say I'm a bad guy

I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly

They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint

They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't



They say I'm a bad guy, say hi to the bad guy

I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly

They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint

They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't

They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't



I ain't no ordinary nigga

Look around, this ain't what ordinary gets ya

Extraordinary figures, I'm an extraordinary nigga



Before my name became Jigga

Before I sang I had that thang on slippers

Can't complain 'bout what they ain't gon' give ya

That ain't gon' get ya shit, might as well give up



Or get up, get out and get somethin' nigga

Get a job my nigga or get to dumpin'

Only God can judge him, only he without sin

Tell me if my means justified my ends



'Til then, I'm just gon' fly in the Benz

Wire my friends through Western Union

Shh, suprisin', my system knockin'

Here comes the bad guy again

Say hello, uh uh, hello, uh uh, hello

Uh, here comes the bad guy again



Say hello to the bad guy, they say I'm a bad guy

I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly

They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint

They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't



They say I'm a bad guy, say hi to the bad guy

I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly

They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint

They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't

Let me tell you what I ain't



We ain't thugs for the sake of just bein' thugs

Nobody do that where we grew at, nigga duh

The poverty line we not above

So I come to mask and gloves 'cause we ain't feelin' the love



We ain't doin' crime for the sake of doin' crimes

We movin' dimes 'cause we ain't doin' fine

One out of three of us is locked up doin' time

You know what this type of shit can do to a nigga moms



My mind on my money, money on my mind

If you owe me ten dollars you ain't givin' me nine

Y'all ain't give me 40 acres and a mule

So I got my glock 40 now I'm cool



And if Al Sharpton is speakin' for me

Somebody give him the word and tell him I don't approve

Tell him I remove the curses

If you tell me our schools gon' be perfect

When Jena Six don't exist

Tell him that's when I'll stop sayin' bitch, bitch



Say hello to the bad guy, they say I'm a bad guy

I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly

They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint

They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't



They say I'm a bad guy, say hi to the bad guy

I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly

They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint

They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't
