–(Chorus)–

When it comes to being true

At least true to me

One thing I’ve found

One thing I’ve found

Oh no-you never let me down

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)

First I snatched the streets

Then I snatch the charts

First I had their ear

Now I have their heart

Rappers came and went Ive Been Here From the start

I seen them put it together

Watched them take it apart

Seen the rollers roll up with ribbons

I’ve seen em re-poed, re-sold, and re-driven

So when I reload, we hold number 1 position

So when you hot, I’m hot

And when you feet cold, mines is sizzlin

And it’s plain to see

Niggas can’t fuck with me

Cause Imma be that nigga for life

This is not an image

This is god given

This is hard livin

Mixed with Crystall sippin

The most consistent hov

Give you the most hits

You can fit inside a whole disk and

Nigga I’m home on these charts

Ya’ll niggas visitin

It’s hov tradition, Jeff Gordon of rap

I’m back to claim pole position

Holla at ya boy

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)

I get down for my grandfather

Who took my mamma

Made her sit in that seat

Where white folks aint want us to eat

At the tender age of 6

She was arrested for the sit-ins

And now with that in my blood

I was born to be different

Now niggas can’t make it

To ballads to choose leadership

But we can make it

To Jacobs and to the dealership

Thats why I hear new music

And I just dont be feelin it

Racisim still alive

But they just be concealing it

But I know they dont want me in the damn club

They even made me show ID

To get inside the Sams Club

I done did dirt

And when to church

To get my hands scrubbed

That’s why I been baptised

At least 3 or 4 times

But in the land where

Niggas praise Yukons and gettin paid

Its gonna take alot more

Than coupons to get em saved

Like take a lot more

Than Doo-Rags to get you waves

Nothin as sad as the day

My girls father passed away

So I promised to Mr. Rainey

That I’m gonna marry your daughter

And you know I gotta thank you

For the way that she was brought up

And I know that you was smilin

When you seen the car I bought her

And you sent tears from heaven

When you seen my car got balled up

But I can’t complain

What the acccident did to my left eye

Cause look what the accident did to Left-Eye

First Aaliyah, now Romeo must die

I know I got angels

Watchin me from the other side

–(Chorus)–

When it comes to being true

At least true to me

One thing I’ve found

One thing I’ve found

Oh no-you never let me down

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)

–(Chorus)–

When it comes to being true

At least true to me

One thing I’ve found

One thing I’ve found

Oh no-you never let me down

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)

We’re 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, thats why I get spiritual

But I get my hymns from him

So it’s not me it’s he thats lyrical

I’m not a miracle

I’m a heaven-sent instrument

My rythmatic regiment navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental

Thats why I’m instrumental

Vibrations is what I’m into

Yeah I need my loot by rent day

But that ain’t what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte

I’m tryin to give us, us free like Cinque

I can’t stop

That’s why I’m hot

Determination, dedication, motivation

I’m talking to you and my many inspirations

When I say I can’t let you or myself down

If I were on the highest cliff on the highest riff

And you slipped off 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 be known that god’s penmanship has been signed in the language called love

Thats 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

Cause whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth

A touch of

God.

Rains.

Out.

Who else you know been hot this long,

(Oh Ya, you know we ain’t finished)

Started from nothing but he got this strong,

(The ROC is in the building)

Built the ROC 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 them

Number one albums, what I got like four of them

More of them on the way,

The Eight 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, niggas get very religious,

Six Hail Maries, please Father forgive us,

Young, the Archbishop, the Pope John Paul of y’all niggas,

The way y’all all follow Jigga,

Hov’s a living legend and I tell you why,

Everybody wanna be Hov and Hov still alive.
