[Intro]

Halt! Who goes there?

It is I sire Tone from Brooklyn.

Well, speak up man what is it?

News from the East sire! THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS HAS RETURNED!

[Verse 1: Jay-Z (R. Kelly)]

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the freshest of them all?

I love 'em all but none of yall can fuck with the double suicide doors on that black phantom,

Fuck em all

We got hits like a 30 shot clip when we throw one in the air everybody hit the floor

Holla atcha boy, boys, when we boys so we bringin out them toys

Lane to lane on the dana danes

We give you noise man when the year change we change, nigga we right here

We can go bang for bang

We can go clip for clip nigga chain for chain

We can go bitch for bitch got a pretty young thing

That I keep by my hip like my celly that ring, sing!

(Me and Michelle at the hotel while Jay and Tone on the way to the after party got the ladies sayin

OH! Best of Both Worlds)

Best of Both Worlds and we rock the globe

You knamsayin

Ya boy H-O wit Kels we not playin

Losers lose so when we does what we do we win

Then win again like de ja vu

Then we win again like MJ do

Three-peat then retreat the waters that's blue

Young scrappy this what grown men do lets move!

[Chorus: R. Kelly (2x)]

In this arena, arena

All we wanna see is them hands up, hands up

This is for them hustling boys and girls

It's the return of Best of Both Worlds

(Nothin can hold us now!)

[Verse 2: R. Kelly]

Now all the ladies love Kels cause Kels is fresh

And plus Kels got "superpimp" 'cross his chest

I got a phat gold chain and I drop top Lex

And when im rollin thourhg ya hood I be causin wrecks

Man I'm a gigalo, Air Force Ones and fresh linen

I be in the club while my chrome still spinnin

Ladies line up in a single file line just to hit a ?? I'll sing 'em a few lines like (Me and

Michelle at the hotel while Jay and Tone on the way to the after party got the ladies sayin OH!

Best of Both Worlds!)

Shuttin it down you knamean

Kels and Jigga man bacl on the scene

Step up in the club so fresh and so clean

Ladies be like damn! BLING! BLING! BLING

Hov rap and I SING! SING! SING

H to the O and the R&B King, before we do a show its like CHING! CHING! CHING!

So Lodi Dodi, we likes to party, we don't start fights we don't bother nobody

The good news is haters we gat a lotta dough, bad news is it's the return of Best of Both…

[Chorus]

[Bridge: R. Kelly]

We on a world tour wit Jay and my man

Goin each and everywhere wit the mic in our hand

London, Paris, New York, D.C., Detroit, From Chi-Town to Cali

We on a world tour wit Kels and ya man

Goin each and everywhere wit the mic in our hand

Philly, Jersey, Dallas, St. Louis, Miami

Best of Both comin to ya city!

[Chorus]
