Numb / Encore (feat. Jay-Z)

Yeah

Thank you, thank you, thank you

You're far too kind

Ha, ha

Uh, yeah

Ready?

Let's go

Can I get an encore? Do you want more?

Cookin' raw with the Brooklyn boy

So, for one last time, I need y'all to roar

Now, what the hell are you waiting for?

After me, there shall be no more

So, for one last time, nigga, make some noise

Get 'em, Jay

Who you know fresher than Hov? Riddle me that

The rest of y'all know where I'm lyrically at

Can't none of y'all mirror me back

Yeah, hearin' me rap is like hearin' G. Rap in his prime

I'm young H.O.: Rap's Grateful Dead

Back to take over the globe, now break bread

I'm in Boeing jets, Global Express

Out the country, but the Blueberry still connect

On the low, but the yacht got a triple deck

But when you young what the fuck you expect? (Yep, yep)

Grand openin', grand closin'

God damn, your man Hov cracked the can open again

Who you gon' find doper than him with no pen?

Just draw off inspiration

Soon you gon' see you can't replace him (him)

With cheap imitations for these generations

Can I get a encore? Do you want more?

Cookin' raw with the Brooklyn boy

So, for one last time, I need y'all to roar (yeah)

Now, what the hell are you waiting for?

After me, there shall be no more

So, for one last time, nigga, make some noise

What the hell are you waiting for?

Look what you made me do, look what I made for you

Knew if I paid my dues how will they pay you?

When you first come in the game they try to play you

Then you drop a couple of hits, look how they wave to you

From Marcy to Madison Square

To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years (years)

As fate would have it, Jay's status appears

To be at an all-time high-perfect time to say goodbye

When I come back like Jordan wearin' the four-five

It ain't to play games with you

It's to aim at you, probably maim you

If I owe you, I'll blow you to smithereens

Cocksucka', take one for your team

And I need you to remember one thing (one thing)

I came, I saw, I conquered

From record sales to sold-out concerts

So mo'fucka', if you want this encore

I need you to scream till your lungs get sore (c'mon)

Can't you see that you're smothering me?

Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control

'Cause everything that you thought I would be

Has fallen apart right in front of you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware

I'm becoming this

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you

I've become so numb

Can I get an encore? Do you want more? (More)

I've become so numb (ooh)

So, for one last time, I need y'all to roar

One last time, I need y'all to roar
