Never Let Me Down |
| When it comes to being true, at least true to me |
| One thing I’ve found, one thing I found |
| Oh no, 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 |
| Yo, first I snatched the streets, then I snatched the charts |
| First I had they ear, now I have they 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 with ribbons |
| I seen them re-po'd, re-sold, then re-driven |
| So when I reload, he holds number one position |
| When you hot, I’m hot |
| And when your feet cold, mines is sizzling |
| It’s plain to see, niggas can’t fuck with me |
| 'cause I’ma be that nigga for life |
| This is not an image, this is God-given |
| This is hard-livin', mixed with Cristal 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 niggas visitin' |
| It’s Hov tradition, Jeff Gordon of rap |
| I’m back to claim pole position, holla at ya boy |
| When it comes to being true, at least true to me |
| One thing I’ve found, one thing I found |
| Oh no, 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 for my grandfather who took my mama |
| 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-ins |
| And with that in my blood I was born to be different |
| Now niggas can’t make it to ballots to choose leadership |
| But we can make it to Jacob’s and to the dealership |
| That’s why I hear new music and I just don’t be feelin' it |
| Racism’s still alive, they just be concealin' it |
| But I know they don’t want me in the damn club |
| They even made me show ID to get inside of Sam’s Club |
| I done did dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed |
| Swear I’ve been baptized 'least three or four times |
| But in the land where niggas praise Yukons and getting paid |
| It’s gonna take a lot more than coupons to get us saved |
| Like it take a lot more than doo rags to get you waves |
| Nothing sad as that day my girl’s father passed away |
| So I promised to Mr. Rainey 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 see 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 |
| 'Cause look what an accident did to Left Eye |
| First Aaliyah now Romeo must die |
| I know I got angels watching me from the other side |
| When it comes to being true, at least true to me |
| One thing I’ve found, one thing I found |
| Oh no, 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 |
| We are all here for a reason on a particular path |
| You don’t need a curriculum to know that you’re a 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 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 trying to get us «us free» like Cinque |
| 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 deaf |
| 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 |
| 'Cause whenever I open my heart, my soul or my mouth |
| A touch of God reigns out |
| Take 'em to church |
| When it comes to being true, at least true to me |
| One thing I found, one thing I found |
| Oh no, you’ll 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? |
| (Oh yeah, we ain’t finished) |
| Started from nothing but he got this strong |
| (The Roc is in the building) |
| Built the Roc from a pebble, peddled rock before I met you |
| Pedaled bikes, got my nephews pedal bikes because they special (Wooooo) |
| Let you tell it, man, I’m falling |
| Well, somebody must have 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 eighth 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, dissing Jay will get you maced |
| When I start spitting them lyrics niggas get very religious |
| Six Hail Marys, '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’ll tell you why |
| Everybody wanna be Hov and Hov’s still alive |
