This is a public service announcement |
|
Sponsored by Just Blaze and the good folks at Roc-A-Fella Records |
|
"Fellow Americans, it is with the utmost pride and sincerity |
|
That I present this recording, as a living testament and recollection |
|
Of history in the making during our generation." |
|
Allow me to re-introduce myself |
|
My name is Hov', OH, H-to-the-O-V |
|
I used to move snowflakes by the O-Z |
|
I guess even back then you can call me |
|
CEO of the R-O-C, Hov'! |
|
Fresh out the fryin pan into the fire |
|
I be the, music biz number one supplier |
|
Flyer than a piece of paper bearin my name |
|
Got the hottest chick in the game wearin my chain, that's right |
|
Hov', OH - not D.O.C. |
|
But similar to them letters, "No One Can Do it Better" |
|
I check cheddar like a food inspector |
|
My homey Strict told me, "Dude finish your breakfast" |
|
So that's what I'ma do, take you back to the dude |
|
With the Lexus, fast-forward the jewels and the necklace |
|
Let me tell you dudes what I do to protect this |
|
I shoot at you actors like movie directors {*laughing*} |
|
This ain't a movie, dog! (oh shit) |
|
"Now before I finish, let me just say |
|
I did not come here to show out, did not come here to impress you |
|
Because to tell you the truth when I leave here I'm GONE! |
|
And I don't care WHAT you think about me - but just remember, |
|
When it hits the fan brother, whether it's next year, ten years, |
|
Twenty years from now, you're gonna be able to say |
|
That these brothers lied to you JACK!" |
|
Ving ain't lie |
|
I done came through the block in everything that's fly |
|
I'm like, Che Guevara with bling on, I'm complex |
|
I never claimed to have wings on |
|
Nigga I get mine - by any means on whenever there's a drought |
|
Get your umbrellas out because, that's when I brainstorm |
|
You can blame Shawn, but I ain't invent the game |
|
I just rolled the dice, tryin to get some change |
|
And I do it twice, ain't no sense in me |
|
Lyin as if, I am a different man |
|
And I could blame my environment but |
|
There ain't no reason why I be buyin expensive chains |
|
Hope you don't think users are the only |
|
Abusers niggaz, gettin high within the game |
|
If you do then, how would you explain? |
|
I'm ten years removed, still the vibe is in my veins |
|
I got a hustler spirit, nigga period |
|
Check out my hat yo, peep the way I wear it |
|
Check out my swag' yo, I walk like a ballplayer |
|
No matter where you go, you are what you are player |
|
And you can try to change but that's just as hard player |
|
Man, you was who you was 'fore you got here |
|
Only God can judge me, so I'm gone |
|
Either love me, or leave me alone |
