Pops sped off Left Mom with a bundle of Joy ya boy Smack dab in the jungle Took tunnel vision But he would soon become a mogul But first he brought that crack back like a yo-yo Don't play with my yo-yo Loco ni**as in the hood First ni**as hating on me It's all good I'm buying things like my sh*t don't stink Gucci links and Gucci gooses Watching too much movies Bulletproof this Had some nerve Like pullin toothes When you sixteen, comin thru roofless Yeah ya boy ruthless Like Ice Cube was Turn the whole city on I'm the new plug So if this is your first time hearing this You are about to experience someone so cold A journey seldom seen The American dream From the bottom to the top of the globe They call me HOV
Chorus
They coming for me Wanna see me fall You know my story I been thru it all Nights I felt like dying But I ain't crying What didn't kill me Made me strong as iron I am I am Oh my God, HOV
Verse Two
Now I'm knee-deep in the concrete Like the streets made of quicksand beyond deep I got a chemical romance, two left feet So I dance with the devil, please GOD Save me for the life of love release me My life like grand auto theft PSP I'm in the Volvo puffing on the la la Running from the po po Every time I drive by Say hi to the bad guy All my momma friends is like hmm hmm hmm Would you just look at him Sorry dear momma for your embarrassment Give me a couple years I pray I never sin Got all these rival dealers trying to do me in And all these little rappers don't know how prepared for them I am I feel like the world is against me Lord Call me crazy but I love them odds
Chorus
Verse Three
Now these baby ballers toy rappers Calling out my name to bring the boy backwards Shooting air balls at the basket What you call money I paid more in taxes I got crowned came down in Africa Down in Nigeria do you have any idea Sold out shows in Seoul Korea Jo-berg, Dublin, Tanzania Lunch with Mandela, dinner with Cavalli Still got time to give water to everybody Everybody fall back Y'all rapping I'm reenacting CNN you see it's accurate ESPN see me in action Monday nights when the half ends When your ten years in holla back then
