About

This Neptunes-produced track was the lead single from 2003’s The Black Album.

Change Clothes Lyrics

[Intro: JAY-Z & Pharrell]
Wooo! Uh, uh, bounce is back
Uhh, uh-uh uh uh, geyeah, uh, your boy is back
(Sexy, sexy) I know y'all missed the bounce
You need to bounce for the sexy, you know?
Hah, haha, uh, let's get it in

[Verse 1: JAY-Z]
Yeah ma, your dude is back, the Maybach Coupe is back
Tell the whole world the truth is back
You ain't gotta argue about who can rap
'Cause the proof is back, just go through my raps
(New York, New York!) Yeah, where my troopers at?
Where my hustlers, where my boosters at?
I don't care what you do for stacks
I know the world glued your back to the wall
You gotta brawl, do that
I been through that, been shot at, shoot back
Gotta keep a peace like a Buddhist
I ain't a New Jack; nobody gon' Wesley Snipe me
It's less than likely, move back
Let I breathe, Jedi Knight
The more space I get the better I write
Oh, never I write, but if ever I write
I need the space to say whatever I like, now just

[Chorus: JAY-Z & Pharrell]
Change clothes, and go
You know I stay fresh to death, a boy from the projects
And I'ma take you to the top of the globe, so let's go
So let's exchange numbers and go
And girl I promise you no substitutes
It's just me
Ha, ha!

[Verse 2: JAY-Z]
And I ain't gon' tell you again, let's get ghost in the Phantom
You can bring your friend, we can make this a tandem
Or you can come by yourself if you can stand him
Best believe, I sweat out weaves
Give Afro Puffs like R.A.G.E
Aww you get if could move it
Back it on up like a U-Haul truck
Then run and tell them ducks you heard Hovi new shit
He and the boy Phar-real make beautiful music
He is to the East coast what Snoop is
To the West Coast, what 'Face is to Houston
Young Hov' in the house is so necessary
No bra with that blouse, that's so necessary
No panties and jeans, that's so necessary
Now why you fronting on me, is that necessary?
Do I, to you, look like a lame
Who don't understand a broad with a mean shoe game
Who's up on dot dot dot and Vera Wang
Ma are you insane? Let's just
(What you want me to do?)

[Chorus: JAY-Z & Pharrell]
Change clothes, and go
You know I stay fresh to death, a boy from the projects
And I'ma take you to the top of the globe, so let's go
So let's exchange numbers and go
And girl I promise you, no substitutes
It's just me

[Break: Pharrell & JAY-Z]
Ha ha! Sexy sexy, ha ha! Sexy sexy
(It's so necessary ma)
Ha ha! Sexy sexy (Woo, that's right, it's a groove)
Ha ha! Sexy sexy (Uh, uh, it's a groove, uh, bring it back)
Ha ha!

[Verse 3: JAY-Z]
Young Hov' in the house, it's so necessary
No bra with that blouse, that's so necessary
No panties and jeans, that's so necessary
Why you frontin' on me?
Let's go to my hotel, cause this don't go well
With those S. Dots, gotta stay fresh ma
Ma, I don't shop where the rest buy
Ho no ma, please respect my
Jiggy this is probably Purple Label
Or that BBC shit or it's probably tailored
And y'all niggas actin' way too tough
Throw on a suit, get it tapered up, and let's just:

[Chorus: JAY-Z & Pharrell]
Change clothes, and go
You know I stay fresh to death, a boy from the projects
And I'ma take you to the top of the globe, so let's go
So let's exchange numbers and go
And girl I promise you, no substitutes
It's just me

[Outro: Pharrell & JAY-Z]
Ha ha! Sexy sexy (Uh, uh, WOO, sing along)
Ha ha! Sexy sexy (yeah, uh.. turn your radio up)
Ha ha! Sexy sexy (woo, put your hands in the air if you in the club)
Ha ha! Sexy sexy (snap your fingers now, uh, woo!)
Ha ha! (Your boy is back, uh-huh, uh, uh)
(The bounce is back, uh, uh woo!)
(Uh, Young is back, hahahaha - PEACE!!!)
