Jay-Z - ‘Thank You’

The Blueprint 3 leaked today, and I think I like it. On the whole it’s pretty good, but I’m a little hesitent to make a decision because of my expectations and the overall beat selection.

What I definitely DO like is the song ‘Thank You’, especially the third verse (transcribed below).

I was gonna kill a couple rappers, but they did it to themselves.
I was gonna do it with the flow, but they did it will their sales.
I was gonna 9/11 them, but they didn’t need the help,
and they did a good job, them boys are talented as hell!
So not only did they brick, but they put a building up as well,
then ran a plane into that building, and when that building fell,
ran to the crash site, with no mask then inhaled
toxins deep inside their lungs until both of them was filled,
blew a cloud out like an L into a jar, then took a smell
because they heard secondhand smoke kills.
[Guys] thought they was ill, found out they was ill/ew,
and it’s like you knew exactly how I wanted you to feel!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, you’re far too kind.

I’m Feeling This.
