Jay-Z Releases Lyrics To “BBC,” Featuring Nas, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Swizz Beatz, Pharrell & Timbaland

    Jay-Z continues to tease out portions of the lyrics to his upcoming album, Magna Carta Holy Grail.

    Jay has shed some light on what has immediately become one of the album’s most anticipated tracks: “BBC,” featuring Nas, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Swizz Beatz, and Timbaland.

    Hov was photographed in the studio weeks ago with Timberlake, Nas, and Timbaland, working on what would now appear to be this track.

    Prior lyrics released include “Oceans,” featuring Frank Ocean, “Heaven,” and the Justin Timberlake-assisted “Holy Grail.” The album will consist of 15 tracks.

    Magna Carta Holy Grail will be released on July 4. It is the product of a collaboration with technology company Samsung, who will offer up to one million free copies of the album for users of its smartphones, three days before the album’s release.

    The edited lyrics to “BBC” can be found below:

    1. First of all, there is no way all them niggas will have prominent roles on that track. Jay and Nas def getting the bars portion while Timbaland and Swizz def on the boards. Pharell, Beyonce n JT prolly together on the hook

      Secondly, judging by the lyrics, my guess is the first rap verse is Nas and the 2nd is Jay’s. Who is with me?

      Thirdly, there wont be anything epic or classic about this track. It will prolly be a hot track considering the guys on the boards and an all floss lyrical display by Nas and Jay. Not a big deal.

      Lastly, IMO and if indeed Nas got the first rap verse, then its clearly killing the second Jay verse but ofcourse we gotto wait for the full bars and track to make proper judgement. Plus Nas already took advantage of his worst enemies tryna be his best friends and walked into the lions den and took everybody’s chips a couple of years ago.

      1. My guess is also that the first verse is Nas, based on the fact that he references ‘Unlaced Adidas’, the Shelltoe’s is a Queens fashion ‘trademark’! Bucket hats, Fila’s……

      1. omg dude you’re so funny. dentaldamboy, soicyboi, and the ja rule dickriders ain’t got shit on you. ya know you trolls are amazing (sarcasm)

    2. deadass im hype for this album i think its gonna be some next level Jayz shit.. if this album is a banger like he says it is he should just retire from albums..have a guest spot here n there or a single here or there..but itll be like michael strahan going out with a ring beating tom brady

    3. Sorry but most of yaLl niggas is delusional if you dont think jay and nas ARENT stuck on the same shit…cars, money, shoe brands, chains, coupes, niggas this niggas that… love them but they dont really switch it up just tbh…and them rappin with SWIZZ BEATS AND TIMBERLAKE??!? and yall just hate on em for his latest features. lol think again

    4. I’m from where the hammer’s rung, New’s cameras never come
      You and your man houndin’ every verse in your rhyme
      where the grams is slung, niggas vanish every summer
      Where the blue vans would come, we throw the work in the can and run
      Where the plans was to get funds and skate off the set
      To achieve this goal quicker, sold all my weight wet
      Faced with immeasurable odds still I get straight bets
      So I felt some more something and you nothing check
      I from the other side with other guys don’t walk to much
      And girls in the projects wouldn’t fuck us if we talked too much
      So they ran up town and sought them dudes to trust
      I don’t know what the fuck they thought, those niggas is foul just like us
      I’m from where the beef is inevitable, Summertime’s unforgetable
      Boosters in abundance, buy a half-price sweater new
      Your world was everything, So everything you said you’d do
      You did it, Couldn’t talk about it if you ain’t lived it
      I from where niggas pull your car, and argue all day about
      Who’s the best MC’s, Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas
      Where the drugs czars evolve, and thugs always are
      At each other’s throats for the love of foreign cars
      Where cats catch cases, hoping the judge R and R’s
      But most times find themselves locked up behind bars
      I’m from where they ball and breed rhyme stars
      I’m from Marcy son, just thought I’d remind y’all

      I’m from the place where the chruch is the flakiest
      And niggas is praying to god so long that they Atheist
      Where you can’t put your vest away and say you’ll wear it tomorrow
      Cause the day after we’ll be saying, damn I was just with him yesterday
      I’m a block away from hell, not enough shots away from straight shells
      An ounce away from a triple beam still using a hand-held weight scale
      Your laughing, you know the place well
      Where the Liqour Store’s and the base well
      And Government, fuck Government, niggas polotic themselves
      Where we call the cops the A-Team
      cause they hop out of vans and spray things
      And life expectancy so low we making out wills at eight-teen
      Where how you get rid of guys who step out of line, your rep solidifies
      So tell me when I rap you think I give a fuck who criticize?
      If the shit is lies, god strike me
      And I got a question, are you forgiving guys who live just like me?
      We’ll never know
      One day I pray to you and said if I ever blow, Let ’em know
      Mistakes ain’t exactly what takes place in the ghetto
      Promise fulfilled, but still I feel my job ain’t done
      Cough up a lung, where I’m from, Marcy son, ain’t nothing nice

      I’m from where they cross-over and clap boards
      Lost Jehovah in place of rap lords, listen
      I’m up the block, round the corner, and down the street
      From where the Pimps, Prostitutes, and the Drug Lords meet
      We make a million off of beats, cause our stories is deep
      And fuck tomorrow, as long as the night before was sweet
      Niggas get lost for weeks in the streets, twisted off weed
      And no matter the weather, niggas know how to draw heat
      Whether your four-feet or Minute size, it always starts out with
      Three dice and shoot the five
      Niggas thought they douce was live, now hit ’em with trips
      And I reached down for their money, pa forget about this
      This time around it’s platinum, like the shit on my wrist
      And this glock on my waist, y’all can’t do shit about this
      Niggas will show you love, That’s how they fool thugs
      Before you know it your lying in a pool of blood

    5. NOW ON I TUNES NEW FREDDYS SOUND TRACK, NAS, ONE REPUBLIC. NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK,NEYO,USHER. KINGS OF LEON.J COLE.EMINEM. WITH HITT SONGS. “WE PRETEND TO BE MIXED PEOPLE AND MAKE FUN OF OUR SELFS TO START RACE WARS” AND HEY MIXED GIRL YOU BETTER WATCH IT” NOW ON I TUNES.

      1. I’m happy i’m not the only one who noticed this especially that first verse it’s so WEAK, more about what he used to do

    6. Beyonce was in the studio that day and she told me that after they recorded the song, Jay Z, Nas, Justin Timberlake, and Timbaland all got into a gay orgy without letting beyonce in.

      1. You’re such a terrible troll man. And the make matters worse you reply to your damn self. I’ve seen pathetic comments but you dentaldamboy take the cake

    7. Hey HHDX – You realize that 95% of your responses are pure spam??? Last thing I wanna do is keep visiting your site when most of the participation is from automated YouTube links and Jarule posts.

      Get your sh** right HHDX.

      1. Ja rules posts are real and Ja rule posts are also real. Even dentalboy’s posts are honest and true.

        You get your shit right.

      2. lyrcially, jay hasnt dropped a good album in 10yrs. Carter 2 SHITS on anything he has done since then.

        YMCMB!!!

    8. There’s a lot of haters in these comments and I really don’t understand it. Love it or hate it he’s the best all around rapper of all time. I’m more of a Biggie fan but he died too soon and so did Tupac. All the other rappers that have had a career as long as Jay Z have not remained as relevant. Jay Z is a cultural icon, even if his words don’t impress you his accomplishments should.

      Who really gives a fuck what words he’s actually rhyming? If you do then go listen to Canibus or something. Music should be judged by the overall feel and concept of the song, the mood and the techniques he uses to express himself. People don’t look at a painting and say it’s wack because the painter should’ve used a different brush here and his color selection is off, people look at the overall work and critique the painting as whole. Is that really how yall listen to music critiquing what words he rhymed with what and which he should’ve rhymed instead?

      Like it or not Jay Z is the GOAT.
      If not him then who? If it’s not Jay Z, then who is the GOAT of Hip Hop? Who? I’ll wait.

      And just so you know your favorite rapper admires and respects Jay Z, you should too.

      Lastly, you don’t have to like his music, that’s your opinion, but you should respect and admire what the man has done. Whenever a young minority ex-drug dealer can go from the projects to where he is today we should all be happy and find it aspirational instead of trying to tear it down.

      And I thank God that we have someone like Jay Z to represent our culture because if not him then who? When Jay Z sits with the President of the United States or other world leaders or billionaires, etc. that’s Hip Hop, that’s our culture being represented, that’s us. And if it wasn’t him representing us then who would it be? No one, that’s why he’s a legend.

      So show some respect, go have a seat and sit quietly somewhere.

      1. honestly i have read countless comments on this site and hands down one of the best construed comments I’ve read.

      2. umm… I Kinda agree…. If you at his peers…

        Wutang
        Busta
        Diddy
        Nas

        …. all been the game for longer … but had as much impact?? Probably not…. Jay is overall GOAT but lyically… Nas got him. Business wise? Diddy got him…. but overall..>? I would Jay… so…

    9. As an accountant of YMCMB I can confirm Jay Z does not want to go to war with YMCMB. Wayne already said that if Jay Z disses one more time, he will go Bruce Lee on him. The YMCMB army is built for war. Wayne a certified gangsta. He got 3 tear drops, did a bid on the island and all that. Wayne ethered rappers and even caused permanent damage to Dez Bryants knee. Jay is wack. All Wayne has to do is throw him a rock and Jay will fuck his life up again!!!

    10. big Jay fan, bigger Nas fan but that line up sounds like it has the making of one of the most annoying songs ever

    11. fucking pathetic WACK WACK WACK WACK

      couldn’t be worse if really was about BIG BLACK COCK

      which you know none of these bums is sporting, except maybe Timberlake

    12. Still waiting for Jay and Nas to do a back and forth verse together or multiple verses. The songs they’ve done are only one verse each.

    13. Suge night slapped the fuck outta Nas… He didn’t even show up to Biggies funeral because he was scared… So fuck Nas and Illmatic and fuck you too!

      1. BIG BOI IS THE GOAT.

        LOOK AT HIS TRACK RECORD… WHO HAS IMPROVED WITH TIME? WHO ALWAYS TAKE A BIG FAT DUMP ON EVERY SINGLE TRACK HE IS ON?
        WHO HAS NEVER BEEN OUTDONE ON A TRACK?

      2. 2pac far and away.. jayz and eminem will either seperate or hurt themselves w this album (aka im tlakin 2 eminem if he comes with some wack gay shit)

    15. Obvious Ja Rule ghostwriting on Jay’s shit, these lyrics smack of Ja. Anyone with two eyes can hear this just a rewrite of Suicide Freestyle. Hail Mary Baybeeeh!

    16. Big Guwop is the realest rapper and the only real gangster in rap and heres why.
      1) all other rappers rap about being gangster shooting and killing but they havent done it.
      2) Eminem raps about killing he hasnt.
      3)Jay z raps in open letter about sending shots he hasnt.
      4)Nas raps about how he is a queens thug but he wasn’t.
      5)Most of the rappers rap about stuff they havent done yet you all support them and say its real rap.
      6)When rick ross does it you all claim he is fake and say its fake rap.

      This shows that hiphop fans are hypocritical and all these real hiphop fan wanna be’s are just some unjustified haters whose opinions are just as irrelevent as the swag fag rapper fans.

      BIG GUWOP KILLED A MAN HE WAS A DRUG DEALER BEFORE RAPPER HE HAS STREET CREDENTIALS HE IS THE ONLY RAPPER THAT RAPS ABOUT FACTS THERE FORE BIG GUWOP IS THE REALEST RAPPER IN THE RAP GAME AND THATS A FACT!

      1. these are facts.

        Mobb Deep never bust guns
        Ice Cube never was a gangbanger
        Dr Dre never was a gangbanger
        Fabolous never was a gangster
        AZ never was a gangster and stole his name from the real AZ also a rapper. Googgle it muthafuckers
        50 Cent has some street credentials but never was a REAL street nigga and never in jail but in a youthcamp.
        lloyd Banks was never a gansgter. But according to rumors he is gay.

        LoNg LIvE the ReAL OG oF HIPhOp: Gucci Mane! And who cares if he is wack, nowadays you muthafuckers listen only to beats because you are to dumb to understand lyrics.

      2. Oh, and people actually respect him for killing someone? There’s a fine line between entertainment and idiocy, and Gucci Mane has no reason for people to be pleased that his claims are true.

      3. Rap is Entertainment, so if Guwop had to kill someone to have street cred, then i hope he rotts in jails and you need to focus on something better in life than glorifying “killers”, that’s a bitch move.

    17. I hope a beat behind them lyrics make the track sound good… other than that, this shit reads like upper echelon trash…

    18. Shit is easy to make a classic track. Get a bangin ass beat, get someone that can actually rap or sing (like 2pac, Rozay or Hov), make sure it’s catchy to the ear but isn’t talkin about stupid shit, bang, classic joint. Too bad too many niggas can’t craft a good song.

      Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!

    19. LOL

      justin timberlake is such a faggot. everyone loves him though cuz he making money. lame actor. his music stinks. wannabe michael jackson. his music reminds me of the shit MJ was doing when MJ was fucked up in the courts all the time accused of fucking little kids. man in the mirror shit. JT is a HACK and jay-z will work with anyone who is at the top of music regardless of talent. wanna hear nas and jay though.

      nas and jay should make an album. that’d be big. call it NY. jigga and esco.

    20. Jay-Z is da gayest nigga since 2pac and Elton John’s secret love affair. he was always a secret homo, but when Eminem was depressed of Kim, Jay kissed him on da lips (Black Album sessions). Jay could not control himself and realized he is a gay. he doesnt fuck Beyonce anymore, it’s just a fake relationship for da media. Lil Wayne told this story, cause when Beyonce was down Weezy helped for her sexual needs… Blue Ivy is da result. swag

      1. Haven’t seen you around these parts for a while. I thought that you’d found something more productive to do than this lame and unfunny trolling, but clearly not.

    21. Nas, JayZ and Justin Timberlake. Why is everybody sucking Timberlake dick today. Back in the 80 and 90’s you would be allowed doing a song with a popartists but know rappers are begging to jump on popdicks.

      Biggie is rolling in his grave watching these poprappers Jayz and Nas Escobar.

    22. Yes, I know who Nas is. He explained over lunch (which I paid for since Kelis has most of his pocket money these days) that he regrets three things: 1.) That Firm album 2. His insistance on pretending he was a don and 3. Releasing Daughters as a single.
