Oh baby      When it comes to being true, at least true to me   One thing I found, one thing I found   Oh no, you 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      Yo, first I snatched the streets then I snatched the charts   First I had they ear, now I have their heart   Rappers came and went, I've been here from the start   I seen them put it together, watched them take it apart      Seen the Rovers roll up wit ribbons   I seen them re-po'd, re-sold then re-driven   So when I reload, he holds number 1 position   When you hot, I'm hot      And when your feet cold, mines is sizzilin'   It's plain to see, niggaz can't fuck with me   'Cuz I'm a be that nigga for life   This is not an image, this is God given      This is hard livin', mixed with crystall sippin'   It's the most consistent, Hov   Give you the most hits you can fit inside a whole disc and   Nigga I'm home on these charts, y'all niggaz visitin'   It's Hov tradition, Jeff Gordan 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 for my grandfather who took my momma   Made her sit in that seat where white folks ain't want us to eat   At the tender age of 6, she was arrested for the sit in   And with that in my blood, I was born to be different      Now niggaz can't make it to ballads to choose leadership   But we can make it to Jacob's and to the dealership   Swear I hear new music and I just don't be feelin' it   Racisms still alive, they just be concealin' it      But I know, they don't want me in the damn club   They even make me show I.D to get inside of Sam's club   I done did dirt and went to church and get my hands scrubbed   Swear, I've been baptized each 3 or 4 times      But in the land where niggaz praise Yukons and getting paid   It's gon' take a lot more than coupons to get us saved   Like it take a lot more than durags to get you waves   Nothing sad as that day my girl's father past away      So I promised to Mr. Rany, 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 were smiling when you seen the car I bought her   You sent tears from Heaven when you seen my car get balled up      But I can't complain what the accident did to my left eye   'Cuz look what an accident did to Left Eye   First Aaliyah now 'Romeo Must Die?'   I know I got angels watchin' me from the other side      When it comes to being true, at least true to me   One thing I found, one thing I found   Oh no, you 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      We are all here for a reason on a particular path   You don't need a curriculum to know that you're apart 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 tryna 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 it's 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 regiment 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 ain't what gives me the heart of Kunta Kinte   I'm tryna give us us free like Sinke      I can't stop, that's why I'm hot   Determination, dedication, motivation   I'm talking to you of my many inspirations   When I say, I can't let you or self down      If I were on the highest cliff, on the highest riff   And if 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   With a language called love   That's why my breath is felt by the death   And while 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      When it comes to being true, at least true to me   One thing I found, one thing I found   Oh no, you never let me down   Get up, I get      Get up, I get   Get up, I get   Get up, I get   Get up, I get   Get up, I get down      Who else you know been hot this long   Started from nothing but he got this strong   Built the ROC from a pebble, peddled rock before I met you   Peddled bikes, got my nephews, peddle bikes because they special      Let you tell it man, I'm fallin' well   Somebody must have caught him 'cuz   Every fourth quarter, I like to Mike Jordan 'em   Number one albums what I got, like four of 'em      More of them on the way, the 8th wonder on the way   Clear the way, I'm here to stay   Y'all can save the chitter chat, this and that   This is Jay, dissin' Jay will get you Mase'd      When I start spittin', them lyrics niggaz get very religious   Six hail Mary's please father forgive us   Young, the Archbishop, the Pope John Paul of y'all niggaz   They way y'all all follow Jigga   Hov's a livin' legend and I'll tell you why   Everybody wanna be Hov and Hov's still alive      Down   Down   Down   ...
