[Intro:]
Yeah Grandmama
Told you i wonīt let you down
Told you i wonīt 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
Oh no youīll neva 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 street then i snatched the charts,
First had they ear now i hav theyīre heart,
Rappers came and went,
Iīve been hear from the start,
Seen them put it together
Watch them take it apart,
See the Rovers roll up wit ribbons
Iīve seen them re-poed, re-sold and re-driven
So when i reload, he holds #1 position
When u hot iīm hot
And when your feet cold, mines is sizzelin
Itīs plain to see
Niggaīs canīt f*** wit me
Cuz ima be that nigga fo life
This is not an image
This is God given
This is hard liven
Mixed wit crystall sippin
Itīs the most consistent
Hov
Give you the most hits you can fit inside a whole disc and
Nigga Iīm home on these charts, yīall niggaz visitin
Itīs Hov tradition, Jeff Gordan of rap
Iīm back to claim pole 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 in
With that in my blood i was born to be different
Now niggas canīt make it to ballots to choose leadership
But we can make it to Jacob and to the dealership
Thatīs why I hear new music
And i jus dont be feelin it
Racism still alive they jus be consealin it
But i know they donīt want me in the damn club
They even made me show I.D to get inside of Samīs club
I did dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed
Swear Iīve been baptised at least 3 or 4 times
But in the land where niggaīs praise
Yukons and getting paid
It gon take a lot more than coupons to get us saved
Like it take a lot more than do-rags to get your waves
Notin sadder than that day my girl father past away
So i promised to MR.rany iīm gonna marry your daughter
And u know i gotta thank u for they way that she was brought up
And i know that u were smiling when u see that car i bought her
And u sent tears from heaven when u seen my car get balled up
But i canīt 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 donīt need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math
Cats think Iīm delirious, but Iīm so damn serious
Thatīs why I expose my soul to the globe, the world
Iīm trying to make it better for these little boys and girls
Iīm not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this
Thatīs why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him
So itīs not me, itīs He thatīs lyrical
Iīm not a miracle, Iīm a heaven-sent instrument
My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental
Thatīs why Iīm instrumental
Vibrations is what Iīm into
Yeah, I need my loot by rent day
But that is not what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte
Iīm tryina give us "us free" like Cinque
I canīt stop, thatīs why Iīm hot
Determination, dedication, motivation
Iīm talking to you, my many inspirations
When I say I canīt, let you or self 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 Godīs penmanship has been signed with a language called love
Thatīs 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 Iīm 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 Ya, you know we ainīt 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 Iīm falling,
Well somebody mustīve caught him,
Cause every fourth quarter, I like to Mike Jordan īem,
Number one albums, what I got like four of dem,
More of dem on the way,
The Eight Wonder on the way,
Clear the way, Iīm here to stay,
Yīall can save the chitter chat, this and that, this and Jay,
Dissinī Jay īill 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 yīall niggas,
The way yīall all follow Jigga,
Hovīs a living legend and I tell you why,
Everybody wanna be Hov and Hov still alive.
