December 4th Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Cushi 

Cover art for December 4th lyrics by Jay-Z

The line isn't "And the drought to find a man when the well dries up".

It's "and the drought will define a man.....".

One of my fav songs off of my fav album. I love the word play "the mad love under the SICCA-MORE tree which makes me a MORE-SICCA emcee" I love that! And I love how it takes u thru three important stages of his life. 1. Childhood 2. Learning how to hustle (which is the biggest part of y jay-z is the way he is) and 3. The introduction to rap which he ends by saying "and 96 came niggas, I'm here! Good bye....".

So its basically a synopsis of his life up to the release of "Reasonable Doubt". Sheer BRILLIANCE!!!! And the rest, as they say, is history.....
