On his own track, Pit educates listeners on Cuba politics and the island's delicate relations with the United States. "Born in Miami, right on time/ Scarface, El Mariel Cuban crime,"the "Give Me Everything"rapper rhymed referencing the Mariel boatlift, which brought Cuban immigrants to the U.S. in 1980, many of whom who had criminal pasts. (The Mariel was also shown in the opening scenes of the 1983 cult-classic film "Scarface.")On the last verse Pit speaks directly to Hov, over the same beat that Timbaland and Swizz Beatz crafted for Jay. "Question of the night/ Would they have messed with Mr. Carter if he was white?" he ponders. "Happy fifth-year anniversary, Jay and B, don't worry it's on me," he ends.
