[Intro]
Oh, baby
Turn the motherfuckin' music up
[PreChorus]
When it comes to being true, at least true to me
That's right, it's what I do, come on
One thing I've found
One thing I've found
Oh no, you'll never let me down
No, I ain't never let you 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
[Verse 1]
First I snatched the streets, then I snatched the charts
First I had their 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 'em repo-ed, resold, and redriven
So I when I reload, he holds number one positions
When you hot, I'm hot
And when ya feet cold
Mines are sizzling
It's plain to see
**** can't fuck with me
'Cause I'ma be that **** for life
This is not a image
This is God-given
This is hard livin' mixed with Cristal sippin'
It's the most consistent, ho
When it comes to being true, at least true to me
Give you the most hits
You could fit inside a whole disk and
****, I'm home on these charts, y'all **** visitin'
One thing I've found, one thing I've found
It's Hov tradition
Jeff Gordon of rap
Oh no, you'll never let me down
I'm back to claim pole position
Down, down
Holla at your boy
[Chorus]
Get up, I get down
Get up, I get down
Get up, I get down
Get up
[Verse 2]
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 **** can't make it to ballots to choose leadership
But we can make it to Jacobs and to the dealership
Swear I hear new music and I just don't be feelin' it
Racism's still alive, they just be concealing it
But I know they don't want me in the damn club
They even made me show ID to get inside a Sam's Club
I done did dirt and when to church to get my hands scrubbed
Swear I been baptized, least three or four times
But in the land where **** praise you, cons are gettin' 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 as sad as the day my girl 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 was smilin' when you seen the car I bought her
And 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 the accident did to Left- Eye
First Aaliyah, now Romeo must die
I know I got angels watchin' me from the other side
[Chorus]
When it comes to being true
At least true to me
One thing I've found
One thing I've 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
[Verse 3]
We are all here for a reason on a particular path
You don't need a curriculum to know that you are 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 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 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 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 tryin to give 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 you slipped off the side and clenched 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 the language called love
That's 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 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 rains out
[Verse 4]
Take 'em to church
[Chorus]
When it comes to being true
At least true to me
One thing I've found
One thing I've found
Oh no, you'll never let me down
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
Peddled bikes, got my nephews
Pedal bikes because they special
Let you tell that man I'm falling
Well, somebody must've 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, dissin' Jay, dissing Jay will get you maced
When I start spittin them lyrics, **** get very religious
Six Hail Marys, please Father forgive us
Young, the Archbishop
The pope John Paul of y'all ****
The way y'all all follow Jigga
Hov's a living legend and I tell you why
Everybody wanna be Hov and Hov still alive
[Outro]
Down, down, down...
