[Intro:]
Yeah Grandmama
Told you i won't let you down
Told you i won't let this rap game change me, right?
[Chorus:]
When it comes to being true, at least true to me
One thing I found, one thing I found
I know you’ll never let me down,
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)
Get up I get(down)
[Jay-Z:]
Yo, yo first I snatched the streets then I snatched the charts,
First had they ear now I have they're heart,
Rappers came and went,
I've been here from the start,
Seen them put it together
Watch them take it apart,
See the rollers roll up wit ribbons
I've seen them re-poed, re-sold and re-driven
So when I reload, he holds number 1 position
When you hot I'm hot
And when your feet cold, mine’s is sizzlin’
It's plain to see
N****'s can't f**k wit me
Cuz I’ma be that n**** fuh life
This is not an image
This is God given
This is hard livin’
Mixed wit’ Cristal sippin
It's the most consistent
Hove
Give you the most hits you can fit inside a whole disc and
N**** I'm home on these charts, y'all n****z visitin
It's Hove tradition, Jeff Gordon of rap
I'm back to claim sole position, holla at ya boy
[Chorus]
[Kanye West:]
I get down for my grandfather who took my momma
Made her sit that seat where white folks aint wanna us to eat
At the tender age of 6 she was arrested for the sit ins
With that in my blood i was born to be different
Now n****s can't make it to ballots to choose leadership
But we can make it to Jacobs and to the dealership
That's why I hear new music
And I just don’t be feelin it
Racism still alive they jus be concealin’ it
But I know they don't want me in the damn club
They even made me show I.D to get inside Sam's Club
I did dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed
Swear I've been baptised at least 3 or 4 times
But in the land where n****'s praise
Yukons and getting paid
Its gone take a lot more than coupons to get us saved
Like it’ll take a lot more than do-rags to get your waves
Nothin sadder than that day my girl father past away
So I promised to Mr. Rainey I'm gonna marry your daughter
And you know I gotta thank you for they way that she was brought up
And I know that you was smiling when you seen the car I bought her
And you sent tears from heaven when you seen my car get balled up
But, I can't complaint what the accident did to my left eye
Cuz look what a accident did to Left Eye
First Aaliyah and now Romeo must die?
I know a got angels watchin me from the other side…
[Chorus x2]
[J.Ivy:]
We are all here for a reason on a particular path
You don't need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math
Cats think I'm delirious, but I'm so damn serious
That's why I expose my soul to the globe, the world
I'm trying to make it better for these little boys and girls
I'm not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this
That's why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him
So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical
I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven-sent instrument
My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental
That's why I'm instrumental
Vibrations is what I'm into
Yeah, I need my loot by rent day
But that is not what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte
I'm tryina give us "us free" like Cinque
I can't stop, that's why I'm hot
Determination, dedication, motivation
I'm talking to you, my many inspirations
When I say I can't, let yourself down
If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff
And you slipped down the side and clinched on to your life in my grip
I would never, ever let you down
And when these words are found
Let it been known that God's penmanship has been signed with a language called love
That's why my breath is felt by the deaf
And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
I, too, dream in color and in rhyme
So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house
Cuz whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth
A touch of God reigns out
[Chorus]
[Jay-Z (Kanye West)]
Who else you know been hot this long,
(Oh Yeah, we ain't finished)
Started from nothing but he got this strong,
(The ROC is in the building)
Move the rock from a pebble, pedalled rock before I met you,
Pedalled bikes, got my nephews pedal bikes because they special,
Let you tell that man I'm falling,
Well somebody must've caught him,
Cause every fourth quarter, I like to Mike Jordan 'em,
Number one albums, what I got, like four of ‘em?
More of ‘em on the way,
The Eighth Wonder on the way,
Clear the way, I'm here to stay,
Y'all can save the chitter chat, this and that, this and Jay,
Dissin' Jay will get you mased,
When I start spitting them lyrics, n****s get very religious,
Six Hail Mary’s, please Father forgive us,
Young, the Archbishop, the Pope John Paul of y'all n****s,
The way y'all all follow Jigga,
Hove's a living legend and I tell you why,
Everybody wanna be Hove and Hove still alive… |
