Your Old Droog āCorrespondence w/ DJ Preservationā ā 0:04 | RATE THE BARS!
Droog lyrics:
āDonāt think Iām hating/
My legacy never fading/
Got more classics than Puerto Rican women got sons named Aiden/
Or Jadenā/

Jay-Z āThereās Been A Murderā ā 1:30 | RATE THE BARS!
Hov lyrics:
āMy infatuation with autos led to autos gettin’ sprayed/
Houses gettin’ broken in, quarters gettin’ trayed/
Bricks gettin’ chopped, mom’s pots gettin’ used/
One thrown in that water, try to soda it to two* (bring it back)/ā
*Thank you for the lyric correction @Jiggs285 on Twitter!
