Interlude (In The Black Album)
Jay-Z · Other Songs - Jay-Z
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
Now back to our regular scheduled program
