This is a public survice announcement sponsored by

Just blaze and the good folks at Roc-A-Fella Reco

Fellow Americans, It is with the upmost pride and sincerity

that I present this recording as a milit



Allow me to re-introduce myself, My name is HOV

H to the O-V, I used to move snowflakes by the O.Z

I guess even back then you can call me

C.E.O of the R.O.C HOV

Fresh out the frying pan into the fire

I be the, music biz number 1 supplier

Flier than a piece or paper bearing my name

Got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain, thats right HOV

Not D.O.C, but similar to the letters no-one can do it better

I check cheddar like a food inspector

My homie Strict to me dude finish yo breakfast

So thats what I'ma do take u back to the dude with

the Lexus fast forward the jewels and the necklac

Let me tell u dudes what I do to protect this

Shoot at u actors like movie directors



Now before I finish let me just say I did not come

here to show out, I did not come here to impress



Ving aint lie, I done came thru the block in everything thats fly

I'm like Chagaverre wit bling on, I'm complex

I never claim to have wings on, nigga I get mine

By any means on wheneva there's a drought get yo umbrellas

out because thats when I brainstorm

U can blame Sean but I aint invent the game

I just rolled the dice trying to get some change

And I do it twice aint no since of me lying as if I am a different man

And I can blame my emviroment but there aint no reason

why I be buying expensive chains

I hope you dont think users are the only abusers niggas

gettin high within the game

If you do then how would u explain I'm ten years a

move, still the vibe is in my veins

I gotta hustler spirit, nigga period

Look at my hat yo peep the way I wear it

Look at my swag yo I walk like a ball player

No matter where u go u are what u are player

And u can try to change but thats just the top layer

Man u was who u was before u got here

Only GOD can judge me so I'm gon

Either love me or leave me alone
