Swagger Like Us

[Intro/Chorus 4X: sample of M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes"]

"No one on the corner has swagger like us"

"Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us"

[Chorus]

[Kanye West]

{"No one on the corner"} Mr. West is in the buildin

Swagger on a hundred thousand trillion

{"No one on the corner"} Aiyyo I know I got it first

I'm Christopher Columbus, y'all just the pilgrims

Thanksgiving, do we even got a question?

Hermes pastel, I passed the dressin

My attitude is tattooed

That mean it's permanent, so I guess we should address it, huh?

{"No one on the corner"} My swagger is Mick Jagger

Every time I breathe on a track, I asthma attack it

Why he so mad for? Why he gotta have it?

Cause a slave my whole life, now I'm the master

Naaaaa-na-naaaaa

How it feel to wake up and be the shit, and the urine?

Naaaaa-na-naaaaa

Tryna get that coke number, one over durin

[Chorus]

[Jay-Z]

Geah..

{"No one on the corner"} Got a bop like this

Can't wear skinny jeans cause my nines don't fit

No one on the corner got a pocket like this

So I rock Roc jeans cause my nine's so thick

You can learn how to dress just for checkin my fresh

Checkin-checkin my fresh, checkin-checkin my fresh

Follow my steps is the road to success

Where the niggaz know you're thorough when the girls say yes (yes!)

{"No one on the corner"} But I can't teach 'em my swag

You can pay for school but you can't buy class

{"No one on the corner"} School of hard knocks I'm a grad

And that all-blue Yankee is my graduation cap

It's Hooooo-vahhhhh

Dippin-dippin Rovers, whippin with the soda

Hooooo-vahhhhh

Did you even have any doubt after doubt it was over?

[Chorus]

[Lil Wayne]

No one on the corner has swagger like moi

Church, and I'm too clean for the choir

I require, but I desire

I got stripes, A-di-das

Mamis scream, "?Papi no mas!"

Run up in your shit just me, no mas

Runnin this shit like I got fo' tires

No one has swagger like these fo' guys

Now when it comes to styles, I got several

Sharper than the swagger, dagger or metal

And my jew-els, blue and yellow

The type of shit that make 'em call you Carmelo

Who's as follows stay true to the ghetto

Write your name on the bullet make you feel special

Ha! What the fuck you boys talkin 'bout?

I know it's us cause we the only thing you talk about

And I'm gone... bye... yeah

[Chorus - during last line]

[T.I.]

Hah, you see? That's right

Ay, you know see Weezy for the wordplay, Jeezy for the bird play

Kanyeezy for diversity and me for controversy

I'm a verse that's picture perfect, only spit to serve a purpose

You ain't livin what you kickin then you worthless

Lookin from the surface it may seem like I got reason to be nervous

Been observant, work to see if my adversity was worth it

Verse is autobiographical, absolutely classical

Last thing I'm worried 'bout is what another rapper do

Ain't nobody hot as me

Even if they rap they ass off, blast off and have outstandin quality

Sell a lot of records, I'll respect it and salute that

But spin real life on hot beats, I'm the truth at

You kick it like me, no exaggeration necessary

Livin revolutionary, nothin less than legendary

Gangsta shit hereditary, got it from my dad

Flow colder than February with extraordinary swag

[Chorus - repeat 2X]

[T.I. - over Chorus]

Okay, yeah, that's right

Okay, yeah, so you notice huh

Hah, yeah, okay, tell 'em for me shawty

Yeah, that's right, yeah
