Songtexte: Jay-Z. The Blueprint 3. Reminder.

All rhymers with Alzheimer's line up please
All mamis with mind freeze please line up please
All bloggers with comments please, I come in peace
Let's see if we can kill your amnesia by the time I leave

All mamis I hugged before'll vouch for me
Tell 'em 'bout the time on your momma's couch mami
All hustlers who ever bought a eighth from me
Take this time out, to set the record straight for me

'Member me? Silver bullet, hard top, mentally
They think I'm out of shape so I have to jog they memory
Think with indelible ink, I let the pen go
Verses permanently tattooed serve as mementos

Uh, I'm so mental
My track record speaks for itself, I'm so instrumental
Allow me to rekindle, let's all 'Reminisce' like Mary did
I think I have to send you a reminder, here it is

Reminder, uh, reminder, uh
I got it if you needed a reminder, uh
Reminder, uh, reminder, uh
I think I better give you a reminder, uh

Reminder, uh, reminder, uh
I got it if you needed a reminder, uh
Reminder, uh, reminder, uh
'Cause I can give you a friendly reminder, uh

What the hell have y'all done?
To even have an opinion on what I've been doin'
What the hell have y'all won?
Only thing you can identify with is losing

Ten number 1 albums in a row, who better than me?
Only The Beatles, nobody ahead of me
I crush Elvis and his 'Blue Suede Shoes'
Made the Rolling Stones seem sweet as Kool-Aid too

'96, '97, '98, '99
2000, 2001 and beyond
O two, O three, O four, O five
O six and seven, O eight, O nine

Back to back, double plat', I did what you won't
Men lie, women lie, numbers don't
Ain't nothin' changed for, me 'cept the year it is
I think I have to send you a reminder, here it is

Reminder, uh, reminder, uh
I got it if you needed a reminder, uh
Reminder, uh, reminder, uh
I think I better give you a reminder, uh

Reminder, uh, reminder, uh
I got it if you needed a reminder, uh
Reminder, uh, reminder, uh
'Cause I can give you a friendly reminder, uh

Do what I've done without cryin'
In the environment and what y'all did it in without dyin' my nigga
Then rap like I rap without lyin'
Then tie 'em both together like I am my nigga

Then write sixteens in between runnin' sixteen bid'nesses
All the while showin these young punks what the bid'ness is
As if I'ma let you niggaz style on me
As if now everybody's senile on me

Throwbacks, I threw 'em back, remember those, button-ups?
Young Hov', tell them ordinary Joes Budden up
I destroy your 4 point Os
And Benz 500's at all points that owe

Now you niggaz 'member me, tell me how could you forget
Back of Johnny's album cover, red and blue Gucci shit
Ain't nothin' changed but the year it is
I think I have to send you a reminder, here it is

Reminder, uh, reminder, uh
I got it if you needed a reminder, uh
Reminder, uh, reminder, uh
I think I better give you a reminder, uh

Reminder, uh, reminder, uh
I got it if you needed a reminder, uh
Reminder, uh, reminder, uh
'Cause I can give you a friendly reminder, uh
