Friend Or Foe '98 by JAY-Z
Lyrics & Translation
English
Uh-huh uh, the saga continues
Motion picture shit
I'm done talking
Ran up in the spot gun smoking
Shot it in the air, one woke him
Son soaking, sweating in his bed like dun' loc'in!
Thinking to himself what done provoked him
His thoughts is racing like a Vulcan
I swear I saw a light bulb when
He finally realized who was the culprit
I said yeah, remember me from Friend or Foe when
I told you don't ever ever come around here no more
Time to pay now, you try to rise, I wave the gun – lay down
This time you're really going to listen to Jay now
I try to talk sensibly, hoping that eventually you realize
I had this locked and it just wasn't meant to be
Plus I had sympathy when we all bought rims with your keys
And it was an afterthought that maybe you'll try to avenge me
But I was like "Nah", Homes had to know he was wrong
And if you caught me on the foul now you sing me the same song
Plus you promised
And that's really no fun
And here I find you in this Motel 6 with all these guns
And all your goons, lined up in adjoining rooms
Like some wild cowboys coming to get me at high noon
But my mind's like a flower in bloom
Peep how my eyes just scour the room
I'm alert, plus I paid the clerk I got it laid out
You think you the first nigga I played out, in a two-hotel town?
Come on now, I peeped your Lexus as you
Left the exit got some niggas on that side of the town
Money well invested, rudely interrupted
Jamaican accent (Boy you know who you dun fucked with?)
A gun in your face and that's all you can come up with?
I'm done talking, back up and clap him, one in the abdomen
Do me a favor duke, get two ice cubes I pass them
Take that ice up, for the nicest MC
And please yo, tell BIG, he's unbelievable
Friend or foe bitch!

Friend Or Foe '98 (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Uh-huh uh, la saga continúa
Mierda de película
He terminado de hablar
Entró al lugar con el arma humeando
La disparó al aire, una lo despertó
¡Hijo empapado, sudando en su cama como si estuviera loco!
Pensando en sí mismo qué lo había provocado
Sus pensamientos corren como un Vulcano
Juro que vi una bombilla cuando
Finalmente se dio cuenta de quién era el culpable
Dije sí, ¿me recuerdas de Amigo o Enemigo cuando
Te dije que nunca más volvieras por aquí?
Es hora de pagar, intentas levantarte, agito el arma – acuéstate
Esta vez realmente vas a escuchar a Jay
Intento hablar con sensatez, esperando que eventualmente te des cuenta
Que tenía esto asegurado y simplemente no estaba destinado a ser
Además, tuve compasión cuando todos compramos llantas con tus llaves
Y fue una idea tardía que quizás intentarías vengarte
Pero yo estaba como "Nah", el tipo tenía que saber que estaba equivocado
Y si me atrapaste en la falta, ahora me cantas la misma canción
Además, prometiste
Y eso realmente no es divertido
Y aquí te encuentro en este Motel 6 con todas estas armas
Y todos tus matones, alineados en habitaciones contiguas
Como unos vaqueros salvajes viniendo a buscarme al mediodía
Pero mi mente es como una flor en flor
Mira cómo mis ojos escudriñan la habitación
Estoy alerta, además le pagué al empleado, lo tengo todo planeado
¿Crees que eres el primer negro al que he engañado, en un pueblo de dos hoteles?
Vamos, vi tu Lexus cuando
Saliste de la salida, tengo a algunos negros en ese lado de la ciudad
Dinero bien invertido, rudamente interrumpido
Acento jamaicano (¿Chico, sabes con quién te metiste?)
¿Un arma en tu cara y eso es todo lo que se te ocurre?
He terminado de hablar, retrocede y dispárale, uno en el abdomen
Hazme un favor, duque, consigue dos cubitos de hielo, yo los paso
Lleva ese hielo, para el mejor MC
Y por favor, dile a BIG, que es increíble
¡Amigo o enemigo, perra!
