Whoa, whoa, whoa (Jade da Champ)
Who am I (Jade da Champ)
Whoa (Jade da Champ)
Who am I (Jade da Champ)
I got em, I got em (Jade da Champ)
I got em, I got em (Jade da Champ)
(Jade da Champ) Whoa, whoa
(Jade da Champ)
Big dreams and hurt feelings, call me Jade da Champ
I put the weight on my shoulders where other bitches slack
Who else you know could breathe life into a murdered track
I done seen what y’all could do, neva mind that
Like the old mixed with new like a Philly throwback
Take ya best shots, I promise I’ma throw back
We could take it back to the days of the Cadillac
Jumps out and handle that, heat melt ya candle wax
“Maybes” and “Matter facts”, Ms. Jade’s the fuckin champ
Play the low and kill you softly like Roberta Flack
And then they, and then they mad cause I’m statin facts
And then they, and then they hate when I cocked a cap
That old nursery rhyming, this shit ain’t about that
My flow a mix between 180-proof and 6-packs
Spit circles around you, see if you can get back
Before you jump best know exactly who you gettin at
Champion.. watch the people call my name (Jade da Champ)
Champion.. watch the people call my name (Jade da Champ)
Champion.. watch the people call my name (Jade da Champ)
Champion.. watch the people call my name (Jade da Champ)
Ho, ho, this thing is real, you could play it back
They said I couldn’t do it, now look at me, Jade da Champ
A lot of squads is out but Timb, he got the sicker camp
And we ain’t worried at all, cause y’all pretty wack
I been bendin and crankin tracks, call me Jade da Champ
See it comin, eyes in back, blaze up a 20 sack
Y’all need team participation, what’s really up with that
And so they, and so they grill when you gettin stacks
But they don’t know shit until it’s sittin in they laps
Can handle it more ways, make em holla back
In the ring with the thing-thing, make me twist ya cap
You fools is sellin your soul for a little plaque
Let’s take it back to the hood where niggas is shootin craps
And ery’body rappin, we ain’t do it for the stacks
I bet they really, really pissed cause they knowin that
The robe is creased and steamed and it’s nicely packed
Gloves in the backpack, lights off, that’s that
Who am I, who am I? (Jade da Champ)
Who am I, who am I? (Jade da Champ)
Who am I, who am I? (Jade da Champ)
Who am I, who am I? (Jade da Champ)
….. (Jade da Champ)
Champion.. watch the people call my name (Jade da Champ)
Champion.. watch the people call my name (Jade da Champ)
Champion.. watch the people call my name (Jade da Champ)
Champion.. watch the people call my name (Jade da Champ)
Oh, oh, it’s kinda hard being Jade da Champ
But I’ma do exactly what them losers said I can’t
Gotta stay on my toes and I ain’t afraid of that
You niggas pimp on, I’ll leave you where ya gators at
This is for every person that I owe, I’m payin back
And every nigga turned groupie, I know y’all heard of that
People that smiled in my face and talked behind my back
For every dream that got lost, I promise I’m winnin back
To all my people that’s knocked, we gon’ bounce back
And all the babies in the hood, gotta announce that
I can’t give up, I won’t give up, I crowned myself the champ
So I don’t think y’all wanna see me when I’m really amped
Ain’t no stoppin me, I’m a long way from breakin, man
I’m Ms. Jade, about to show you how to take a chance
Corner full of rappers, show you how to take a man
A squad full of thugs, show you how to break a man
Niggas was full of pride, show you how to make em dance
They can’t stand to walk in my shoes and my favorite pants
Before you try, know exactly who you gettin at
Champion.. watch the people call my name (Jade da
[Antoine Stanton]
In the streets [it’s real]
shit it fuckin real out here [no doubt…]
niggas be hatin, violatin [fo sho, fuck it]
but you need to know… owww!
HOOK: E McCaine
Jada’s, got a, Jada’s, got a GUN
Niggas, clear out, bitches, duck and RUN
Jada’s, got a, Jada’s, got a GUN
Niggas, clear out, bitches, duck and RUN
[Verse 1]
and I been had one so don’t forget that
357 Magnum wit no kickback
Put ’em all in your six pack for a big stack
and I never keep the money where I keep the clips at
Violatin get you one in your throat
you still datin your heat, but me and my guns elope
when I die bury me with the toast
in case I run into a little bit of drama wherever I go
and I won’t hesitate, make you levitate
hit you with the titanium, 38, and it’s featherweight
bullets like good dope how I keep ’em coming
kill a couple niggas then everybody want ’em
who gon’ shoot and who gon’ brawl
if push comes to shove everybody know, you gon’ fall
and I got mine on me
the automatic or the 40 cali, or even the black glock nine on me
HOOK
[Verse 2]
I got a gun wit 200 shots
I’m the reason you moved your family to a whole new other block
I got shit that could wake up the deaf
that’ll knock down the door and break up the steps
don’t even bother wearin a vest
cuz these aint the kinda slugs that’s gon’ get lodged in your chest
gotta nighttime scope that could see through the walls
so just to get shit crackin I’ma tear up your dog
I’ma show you what’s dumbin out
and you could believe whatever I shoot it’s comin off or comin out
and don’t even try runnin out
cuz the 44 mag’ll leave your ass by another house
this is Jadakiss, I’m sprayin everything I see in my radius
the kids stay blazin shit
which gun is my favorite
I don’t know I got ’em all from the old to the latest shit
HOOK
[Verse 3]
guns and the sneakers made Jada
the bitches and the reefer came later with the money and the haters
but I’m a humble kid
still put the pump in your baby mother mouth make her mumble where you live
25 years no felony I’m tellin y’all
why you think I saved it, to blow a nigga melon off
as a young boy always carried a cap gun
fell in love wit it first time I clapped one
now I’m a grown man more mature and pleasant
and like hittin niggas in the jaw with the desert
and everybody got a gun, why not me
you gotta keep it on you now it’s just like I.D.
and I never seen a man cry til I seen a man shot
fuck pride, bullets is too damn hot
so if you aint got one then you gotta run
handle it, or tell the whole world that…
HOOK 2X |
when something so special
seems to slide away
the truth is most lethal
it’s breathing in your face.
when you coming to me,
tell me what’s going on
holding your head up high
there’s no shame in letting go
what happened to you and I
thought you would never leave me
when smoke gets in your eyes
trust in me
we all wander out in the night
under starlight
i just need one more fix
to keep me away from it
i beg, i plead for you to
leave me!
cause it’s killing me and dragging me down
cuts and bruises
bruises and scabs
it’s getting really hard to laugh
at these tears as the crystal’s gleam
3 days and still no sleep
i wait for dead to come to me!
if you were to give me your hand
i’d make you understand
if i were to leave you behind
it would only be a matter of time
before we meet again….

I met a fan dancer
Down in South Side Birmingham
She was running from a fat man
Selling salvation in his hand
Now he’s trying to save me
We’ll I’m doing alright the best that I can
Just another fallen angel
Trying to get through the night
Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, rung by rung climbing Jacob’s ladder
Coming over the airwaves
The man says I’m overdue
Sing along, send some money
Join the chosen few
Well mister I’m not in a hurry
And I don’t want to be like you
And all I want from tomorrow
Is to get it better than today
Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, rung by rung climbing Jacob’s ladder

Jacob’s ladder
Like rusty old nails
At the bottom of the sea
Telling no tales
For the good of the Admiralty
You jump when you’re told to
Through the open door
And the King of Norway
He’s the man you all died for
On this Jacob’s Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacob’s Ladder
And they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
And they sent him to the wars to be slain
(Repeats)
A thousand lifetimes
Left standing at the docks
In the bar down in Whitehall
They’re sure the boat won’t rock
In a file marked ‘Secret’
In a drawer kept closed
Nobody wonders
Because nobody knows
About this Jacob’s Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacob’s Ladder
And they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
And they sent him to the wars to be slain
(Repeats)
On this Jacob’s Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
(Repeats)
Jacob’s Ladder
(Repeats)
O Bulldog Leader, sooner or later we’ll dig up the body and try your cadaver (repeats)

We are climbing Jacob’s ladder
We are climbing Jacob’s ladder
We are climbing Jacob’s ladder
Children of the world
Every round goes higher higher
Every round goes higher higher
Every round goes higher higher
Children, listen now
Love will lift us higher higher
Love will lift us higher higher
Love will lift us higher higher
Children of the world
We are climbing Jacob’s ladder
We are climbing Jacob’s ladder
We are climbing Jacob’s ladder
Children, listen now

Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy
Raised at the fork in the road in a clapboard house
And Rachael was a land baron’s daughter
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth
Her daddy said he wouldn’t stand
For Rachael to waste her life with a common man
He tried hard to keep them apart
But you can’t draw lines in a young girl’s heart
So late one night by the harvest moon
Jacob climed a ladder up to Rachael’s room
He knew his place, it was right beside her
Step by step up to her world
Head over heels for a brown-eyed girl
And gettin’ caught didn’t seem to matter
‘Cause heaven was waitin’ at the top of Jacob’s ladder
It’ll be five years September
Since her daddy found a ladder and a note on her windowsill
He swore he’d never forgive them
But nothin’ melts a heart like a grandchild will
Now she climbs up on his knee
Says, “Grandpa, tell a story, the one about me”
He thinks back and his eyes shine
Says, “Listen Child, once upon a time”
Late one night by the harvest moon
Your daddy climbed a ladder to your mama’s room
He knew his place, it was right besde her
Step by step up to her world
Head over heels for my little girl
And here you are, that’s all that matters
‘Cause heaven was watin’ at the top of Jacob’s ladder
Oh, an angel was waitin’ at the top of Jacob’s ladder
