[Verse 1]
If Hov's a Blackberry Bold
Shorty is a Sidekick
She used to have a man
I used to have a side chick
Shorty got wind
I had to blow the chick off
She got rid of him
They both took the shit hard
Shorty played the piano
Me, I played with white keys
Shorty from the South
Oh I think she like me
Shorty like Pac
Me, Big Poppa
She screaming Hit 'Em Up
I'm screaming Who Shot Ya
I'm on that red wine
Shorty like white
Same shit different toilet
We both getting nice
Me I'm from the Apple
Which means I'm a Mac
She's a PC
She lives in my lap
[Hook]
Shorty get it in (Jay-Z)
Daddy go hard (Girl)
Venus versus Mars (Jay-Z)
[Verse 2]
Whether black or white
We both like Mike
We both like Jordans
We both Phil's Knight
I finish my breakfast
Shorty's out to lunch
Yeah we both eating
It's better than brunch
Shorty like Pepsi
Me I'm the coke man
Body like a Coke bottle
I crush it like a Coke can
Started at the window
End up at the wall
The Ying to my Yang
I skeet skeet off
In a salt and pepper 'Bach
Shorty like to front
The Bonnie to my Clyde
Both riding shotgun
Both covered in gold
Like C3P0
James and Florida Evans
Let the good times roll
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Thought shorty was the truth
Found out she was a cheater
We were supposed to Takeover
I caught her bumping Ether
I thought shorty liked Mike
Found out she liked Prince
Thought she was Adrienne
It's been rocky ever since
My dollars was down
She left me for some Euros
Took my whole flavour
I call her Coke Zero
We were co-MVPs
Like Kobe and Shaq
Left me for the Heat
We were winning back to back
Said I party too much
Shorty got fed up
Shorty got Britney
Shaved her whole head up
We used to make out
Kissing each other's face off
Fell for the Ponzi scheme
Damn shorty just made off
[Hook]

Play Venus Vs. Mars
Next song
About Venus Vs. Mars
In this Timbaland produced song from The Blueprint 3 Jay-Z recalls the course of a (probably hypothetical) relationship: it starts off nice, turns turbulent and ultimately fails
This song is a good example of Jay-Z lite. It’s very heavy on puns and the wordplay pushes the line between clever and lame. (Spot something genuinely insightful and we’ll send you something kitschy!)

Comments:
Hey, just out of curiosity, what is Jay-Z's fixation with breakfast? I'm assuming this is a metaphor for something else, as it comes up in a bunch of his songs. I've noticed it in a bunch of his songs and was wondering if you guys knew what it was about.
"She's a PC
She lives in my lap"
..there goes Jay with his double meanings… PC = Pussy Cat (cats always sit in their owners laps), as well as meaning about a Personal Computer.
The first two verses if you really think about it are actually talking about his and Beyonce's relationship. Coke man referencing to his Cherry Coke endorsement and Beyonce's Pepsi endorsement. And there's many more.
you guys should add some k'naan.
