(H to the izz O, V to the izz A)

Welcome ladies and gentleman to the 8th wonder of the world

The flow of the century, always timeless...HOV!

Thanks for comin' out tonight

You coulda been anywhere in the world, but you're here with me

I appreciate that....uh



H to the izz O, V to the izz A

Fa shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in V-A

Was herbin' 'em in the home of the turbans

Got it dirt cheap for them, plus if they was short wit cheese I would work wit 'em

Boy did we? got rid of that dirt for them

Wasn't born hustler, I was birthin' 'em

H to the izz O, V to the izz A

Fa sheezy my neezy keep my arm so greasy

Can't leave rap alone the game needs me

Haters want me clapped they chrome it ain't easy

Cops wanna knock me, D-A's wanna box me in

But somehow I beat them charges like Rocky

H to the izz O, V to the izz A

Not guilty, Heigel does not feel me

It's not real to me therefore he doesn't exist

So poof, vamoos son of a bitch



H to the izz O, V to the izz A

Fa shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in V-A

H to the izz O, V to the izz A

That's the anthem get ya damn hands up

H to the izz O, V to the izz A

Not guilty y'all got to feel me

H to the izz O, V to the izz A

That's the anthem get ya damn hands up (holla at me)



I do this for my culture, to let 'em know what a nigga look like

When a nigga rent a roaster

Show 'em how to move in a room full of vultures

Industry shady it need to be taken over

Label owners hate me I'm raisin the status quo up

I'm over-chargin' niggas for what they did to the cold crush

Pay us like you owe us for all the years that you hold us

We could talk but money talks so talk mo' bucks



H to the izz O, V to the izz A

Fa shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in V-A

H to the izz O, V to the izz A

That's the anthem get ya damn hands up

H to the izz O, V to the izz A

Not guilty y'all got to feel me

H to the izz O, V to the izz A

That's the anthem get ya damn hands up



Hov is back, life story told through rap

Niggas actin' like I sold you crack

Like I told you sell drugs, no Hov did that

So hopefully you wouldn't have to go through that

I was raised in the pro-jects roaches and rats

Smokers out back sellin' they momma's sofa

Lookouts on the corner, focused on the Ave.

Ladies in the window focused on the kinfolk

Me under a lamp post, why I got my hand close?

Crack's in my arm, watchin the long arm of the law

So you know I seen it all before

I seen hoop dreams deflate like a true fiend's weight

The try and the fail, the two things I hate

Succeed in this rap game the two things that's great

H to the izz O, V to the izz A

What else can I say about dude I gets busy



H to the izz O, V to the izz A

Fa shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in V-A

H to the izz O, V to the izz A

That's the anthem get ya damn hands up

H to the izz O, V to the izz A

Not guilty y'all got to feel me

H to the izz O, V to the izz A

That's the anthem get ya damn hands up



H to the izz O, V to the izz A

H to the izz O, V to the izz A

H to the izz O, V to the izz A

H to the izz O, V to the izz A
