Proof - Knice (Intro) lyrics

What up Detroit!
I'd like to welcome everybody to the
First Annual Detroit Hip-Hop Awards
Secondly, I'd like to thank
You for coming out
And supporting all of our events this year
Especially the Awards show
That means a lot to us
The vision behind the Award show
Is to recognize our own
Talents, feats and accomplishments
Both locally and nationally
With the community a part of
The success of people like:
Eminem, D12, Obie Trice, Slum Village
Fat Cat
Sick Notes, Fat Killers, Almighty Dreadnaps
Raw C and Silent Riot, just to touch on a few
The first award we'll be presenting tonight
Is the Hip-Hop Recognition Award
This Award is to recognize
The individual for outstanding support
Of Detroit Hip-Hop when I think of that
One person stands out without a doubt
From the days of the Hip-Hop shop
To the days of multi-platinum record sales
You'll see this guy on MTV Wednesday night
Then you'll catch him at St andrews
Hall Friday night hosting a battle
He's been around the world
And still finds time to get back to the city
That being said
It's both a pleasure and an honor
To present the first Annual
Hip-Hop Recognition Award!
Purple Pills starts playing
To none other than my man, Big, Proof!

Pssh, Damn man
My city love me, I love my city man
I feel like I'm lettin' 'em down
I done so much
But don't feel like I've accomplished
Nothin' at all hip-Hop
I remember when me 'n' Hiphop
First fell in love man
Detroit and Hip-Hop, damn, pssh
Psh, eh cause, I ain't changin' for shit
I'ma always be me
