[Verse One]

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 niggas in the hood

First niggas 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 many movies

Bulletproof this

Had some nerve

Like pulling tooths

When you sixteen, coming through 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 gunning for me

Wanna see me fall

You know my story

I been through 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 now I dance with the devil, please GOD

Save me from the black parade, release me

My life like Grand Theft Auto PSP

I'm in the Volvo puffing on the la la

Ducking 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

So 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 am.

I'm feeling like the world's 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 out 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 you ten years in holla back then
