1
This is a public service announcement
2
Sponsored by Just Blaze and the good folks at Roc-A-Fella records
3
Fellow Americans, it is with the utmost pride and sincerity
4
That I present this recording, as a living testament and recollection
5
Of history in the makin' durin' our generation
6
Allow me to re-introduce myself
7
My name is Hov', oh, H to the O V
8
I used to move snowflakes by the O Z
9
I guess even back then you can call me
10
C.E.O. of the ROC, Hov'
11
Fresh out the fryin' pan into the fire
12
I be the, music biz number one supplier
13
Flyer than a piece of paper bearin' my name
14
Got the hottest chick in the game wearin' my chain
15
That's right Hov', oh, not D.O.C.
16
But similar to them letters, "No one can do it better"
17
I check Cheddar like a food inspector
18
My homey strict told me, "Dude finish your breakfast"
19
So that's what I'ma do, take you back to the dude
20
With the Lexus, fast-forward the jewels and the necklace
21
Let me tell you dudes what I do to protect this
22
I shoot at you actors like movie directors
23
This ain't a movie dog
24
Now before I finish, let me just say
25
I did not come here to show out
26
Did not come here to impress you
27
Because to tell you the truth when I leave here I'm gone
28
And I don't care what you think about me, but just remember
29
When it hits the fan brother, whether it's next year, ten years
30
Twenty years from now, you're gonna be able to say
31
That these brothers lied to you Jack
32
Ving ain't lie
33
I done came through the block in everything that's fly
34
I'm like, Che Guevara with bling on, I'm complex
35
I never claimed to have wings on
36
Nigga I get mine, by any means on whenever there's a drought
37
Get your umbrellas out because, that's when I brainstorm
38
You can blame Shawn, but I ain't invent the game
39
I just rolled the dice, tryin' to get some change
40
And I do it twice, ain't no sense in me
41
Lyin' as if, I am a different man
42
And I could blame my environment but
43
There ain't no reason why I be buyin' expensive chains
44
Hope you don't think, you'se as hardy
45
Only a fews-us niggaz, gettin' high within' the game
46
If you do then, how would you explain?
47
I'm ten years removed, still the vibe is in my veins
48
I got a hustler spirit, nigga period
49
Check out my hat yo, peep the way I wear it
50
Check out my swag' yo, I walk like a ballplayer
51
No matter where you go, you are what you are player
52
And you can try to change but that's just as hot player
53
Man, you was who you was 'fore you got here
54
Only God can judge me, so I'm gone
55
Either love me, or leave me alone
