"Fellow Americans, it is with the utmost pride and sincerity

that I present this recording, as a living testiment and recollection

of history in the making during our generation."



[Jay-Z]

Allow me to re-introduce myself

My name is Hov', OH, H-to-the-O-V

I used to move snowflakes by the O-Z

I guess even back then you can call me

CEO of the R-O-C, Hov'!

Fresh out the fryin pan into the fire

I be the, music biz number one supplier

Flyerflier than a piece of paper bearin my name

Got the hottest chick in the game wearin my chain, that's right

Hov', OH - not D.O.C.

But similar to them letters, "No One Can Do it Better"

I check cheddar like a food inspector

My homey Strict told me, "Dude finish your breakfast"

So that's what I'ma do, take you back to the dude

with the Lexus, fast-forward the jewels and the necklace

Let me tell you dudes what I do to protect this

I shoot at you actors like movie directors [laughing]

This ain't a movie dog (oh shit)



"Now before I finish, let me just say

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

Because to tell you the truth when I leave here I'm GONE!

And I don't care WHAT you think about me - but just remember,

when it hits the fan brother, whether it's next year, ten years,

twenty years from now, you're gonna be able to say

that these brothers lied to you JACK!"



[Jay-Z]

Ving ain't lie

I done came through the block in everything that's fly

I'm like, Che Guevara with bling on, I'm complex

I never claimed to have wings on

Nigga I g
