[Danger Mouse, The Beatles, JAY-Z - Public Service Announcement lyrics]
Fellow Americans
It is with the utmost pride and sincerity
That I present this recording as
A living testament and
Recollection of history
In the making during our generation
Allow me to re-introduce myself
My name is Hov, OH, H-to-the-O-V
I used to move snowflakes by the O-Z
I guess even back then you can call me
CEO of the R-O-C, Hov!
Fresh out the fryin' pan into the fire
I be the music biz number one supplier
Flyer than a piece of paper bearin' my name
Got the hottest chick in the
Game wearin' my chain, that's right
Hov, OH not DOC but similar to them letters
"No One Can Do it Better"
I check cheddar like a food inspector
My homey Strict told me
"Dude finish your breakfast"
So that's what I'ma do
Take you back to the dude with the Lexus
Fast-forward the jewels and the necklace
Let me tell you dudes what
I do to protect this
I shoot at you actors like movie directors
(laughing) this ain't a movie, dog (Oh shit)
Now before I finish, let me just say I
Did not come here to show out
Did not come here to impress
You because to tell
You the truth when I leave here I'm gone!
And I don't care what you think
About me but just remember, when it hit's
The fan, brother, whether it's next year
Ten years, twenty years from now
You'll never be able to say that
These brothers lied to you Jack!
Thing ain't lie
I done came through the block
In everything that's fly
I'm like Che Guevara with bling on
I'm complex i never claimed to have wings on
Nigga, I get my "by any means"
On whenever there's a drought
Get your umbrellas out because
That's when I brainstorm
You can blame Shawn
But I ain't invent the game
I just rolled the dice
Trying to get some change
And I'd do it twice, ain't no sense in me
Lying as if I am a different man
And I could blame my environment but
There ain't no reason why I
Be buying expensive chains
Hope you don't think users
Are the only abusers
Niggas getting high within the game
If you do then, how would you explain?
I'm ten years removed
Still the vibe is in my veins
I got a hustler spirit, nigga, period
Check out my hat yo, peep the way I wear it
Check out my swag' yo
I walk like a ballplayer
No matter where you go
You are what you are player
And you can try to change but
That's just the top layer
Man, you was who you was 'fore you got here
Only God can judge me, so I'm gone
Either love me, or leave me alone
It is with the utmost pride and sincerity
That I present this recording as
A living testament and
Recollection of history
In the making during our generation
Allow me to re-introduce myself
My name is Hov, OH, H-to-the-O-V
