When it comes to bein' true, at least true to me One thing I found, one thing I 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
Yo, first I snatched the streets, then I snatched the charts First I had they ear, now I have they heart Rappers came an' went, I've been here from the start I seen them put it together, watch them take it apart
Seen the rollers roll up wit ribbons I seen a repoe, resolded, then redriven So when I reload, he holds number one positions When you hot, I'm hot an' when your feet cold, mines are sizzlin'
It's plain to see, niggas can't fuck wit me 'Cuz I'ma be that nigga for life, this is not an image This is God-given, this is hard livin' Mixed wit Cristal sippin', it's the most consistent
Hov give you the most hits you can fit inside a whole disc An' nigga, I'm home on these charts, y'all niggas visitin' It's Hov tradition, Jeff Gordon of rap I'm back to claim pole position, holla at ya' boy
Get up, I get down, get up, I get down Get up, I get down, get up
I get down for my grandfather, who took my momma 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 sittin' An' with that in my blood, I was born to be different
Now niggas can't make it to battles to chose leadership But we can make it to Jacobs an' to the dealership That's why I hear new music an' I just don't be feelin' it Racism still alive, they just be concealin' it
But I know they don't want me in the damn club They even make me show ID to get inside of Sam's Club I did dirt an' went to church to get my hands scrubbed I swear I've been baptized at least 3 or 4 times
But in the land where niggas praise, Yukon's are gettin' paid It's gon' take a lot more than coupons to get us saved Like it take a lot more than do-rags to get your waves Nothin' sad as that day, my girl father passed away
So I promise to Mr. Rainey, "I'm gonna marry your daughter" An' you know I gotta thank you for they way that she was brought up An' I know that you were smilin' when you seen the car I bought her An' 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 'Cuz look what a accident did to Left Eye First Aaliyah, now Romeo Must Die I know I got angels watchin' me from the other side
When it comes to bein' true, at least true to me One thing I found, one thing I 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
We're 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 tryin' to 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 regimen navigates melodic notes For your soul and your mental That's why I'm instrumental
Vibrations is what I'm into, yeah, I need my lubarinde But that ain't what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte I'm tryin' 'Give us us free' like sinkay I can't stop, that's why I'm hot
