"We had to double up and do one for the old people. What you got for me old head?" are a few of the many stabs Jones' takes at Jay-Z as he introduces the first verse off of Jay's dis track towards him. Afterwards, Jones' goes in: "You say 20 is the new 30/ but you 40, I'm 30/ so who's 20?" he says. "Mami always told me to aim for the stars/ and now I'm beefing and I'm aiming at stars/ I pack heat like it came with the car, you catch em in the streets Imma lay him like a broad/ Told Juan tell your old ass to chill/ Better slow down before your old ass get killed." In between verses, Jones chants "We just having fun.. we remixed the remix! old head! Go old head! Go old head!" Juelz Santana, who until now seemed to have remained neutral in the war between Jay and Dipset, says his piece on this song as well. "Fucking old timers/ gotta slow the music up for them... Money ain't a thing. I'll buy your building/ you'll be my tenant." Jim Jones ends the track by sarcastically thanking Jay, saying "Ey, Jay where you at? We appreciate you for that remix. If you woulda called me, I woulda just put you on the remix. They say imitation is the best form of flattery, so I'm flattered mutha fucka!" But not before taking shots at his new labelmate, Nas. "Hey, what you could do for me is tell Nas buy you a kuffi for christmas/so I could smack that shit off your head, motherfucka!/ Aww man, you and Nas remind me of the golden girls. two old bitches!"

Meanwhile, Jones had this to say during an allhiphop interview yesterday about Jay-Z's dis track: "He ain’t even spittin’ right on that joint, so he kinda disappointed me. I thought he would’ve came harder. But for the people, I’m gonna put my verse on it tonight, so we gonna have the official Jay-Z [and] Jim Jones remix, and I’m gonna have it tomorrow. left "The BDS is already runnin’, so I appreciate you Jay, givin’ me extra BDS," Jones added (BDS stands for Broadcast System Data, which records the frequency of a song's play on a radio station). "That’ll probably take me up another thousand spins or something like that." Jones also made clear his opinion on Jay-Z's first out-of-retirement album, Kingdom Come, which is slated for a November 21 release, but was recently leaked on the net. "I listened to his Kingdom Come album, I'd say there was about two songs on there that was decent. It really wasn’t there for my n***as that be in the hood, hustlin’, tryin’ to get money, for the fly girls, them independent ladies, it wasn’t there for them, man. I was really disappointed in the album, man." Jones continued: "I was listenin’ to him on HOT 97, [and] he was sayin’ how [I’m] not in the top five rappers. This is a BDS from HOT 97’s playlist, it says ''We Fly High' is the number one record, getting played 98 times, and 'Kingdom Come' is the number 11 record, getting played 38 times, 'Show Me What You Got' is the number 14 record, getting played 34 times. [Laughs] The number two record is Snoop, what’s up Snoop? "Then I was lookin’ at the BET playlist, tryin’ to see what’s up with the video, and it says''We Fly High' is number one on BET also. 'Show Me What You Got' is number three. I’m glad that he knows I’m not in no one’s top five, I ain’t, I’m number one, b***h! It ain’t in no more room up here. [laughs] I got this old n***a. His jump shot is weak, his knees is bad, his swagger is gone!"
