Kazet/Wezyr ft. Jay-Z Lyrics

This is a public service announcement
Announcing this as a public service message

Sponsored by Just Blaze and the good folks at Roc-A-Fella records
This message is sponsored by Roc-A-Fella records and Just Blaze

Fellow Americans, it is with the utmost pride and sincerity
As a fellow American, I am proud and sincere

That I present this recording, as a living testament and recollection
Presenting this recording as a living testimony and memory

Of history in the makin' durin' our generation
Recording a part of history that is being made during our generation

Allow me to re-introduce myself
Let me introduce myself again

My name is Hov', oh, H to the O V
My name is Hov', or H to the O V

I used to move snowflakes by the O Z
I used to sell cocaine by the ounce

I guess even back then you can call me C.E.O. of the ROC, Hov'
Even back then, one could refer to me as the CEO of Roc-A-Fella records

Fresh out the fryin' pan into the fire
Just came out of a difficult situation right into another one

I be the, music biz number one supplier
I am the number one supplier in the music business

Flyer than a piece of paper bearin' my name
Looking better than any paper with my name on it

Got the hottest chick in the game wearin' my chain
The most beautiful lady in the industry is wearing my chain

That's right Hov', oh, not D.O.C.
That is correct, my name is Hov', not D.O.C

But similar to them letters, "No one can do it better"
Just like the letters D.O.C, no one can do it better

I check Cheddar like a food inspector
I monitor my money like a food inspector checks food products

My homey strict told me, "Dude finish your breakfast"
My friend suggested that I should finish my meal

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

With the Lexus, fast-forward the jewels and the necklace
Driving a Lexus, let's skip the jewelry and the necklace

Let me tell you dudes what I do to protect this
Let me tell you what I do to protect my authority/business

I shoot at you actors like movie directors
I shoot at my rivals like movie directors tell actors what to do

This ain't a movie dog
This is not a movie, this is real life

Now before I finish, let me just say
Before I finish, let me say this

I did not come here to show out
I didn't come here to show off

Did not come here to impress you
Didn't come here to make an impression on you

Because to tell you the truth when I leave here I'm gone
To be honest, when I leave here, I'm leaving

And I don't care what you think about me, but just remember
I'm not concerned about your opinion of me, but remember

When it hits the fan brother, whether it's next year, ten years
When things go wrong, whether it's next year, ten years later

Twenty years from now, you're gonna be able to say
Twenty years from now, you will be capable of saying

That these brothers lied to you Jack
That my rivals deceived you, my friend

Ving ain't lie
Ving didn't lie

I done came through the block in everything that's fly
I have driven through the streets in the best of vehicles

I'm like, Che Guevara with bling on, I'm complex
I'm complex, similar to Che Guevara with jewelry

I never claimed to have wings on
I have never claimed that I have wings

Nigga I get mine, by any means on whenever there's a drought
I get what's mine in any way possible when there is a shortage

Get your umbrellas out because, that's when I brainstorm
It's time to get prepared because that's when my creativity flows

You can blame Shawn, but I ain't invent the game
You can blame Shawn for the way things are, but I did not create the rules of the game

I just rolled the dice, tryin' to get some change
I took a risk, trying to make some money

And I do it twice, ain't no sense in me
And, I do it again, there's no reason not to

Lyin' as if, I am a different man
Lying as if I am someone else

And I could blame my environment but
I could blame my surroundings, but

There ain't no reason why I be buyin' expensive chains
There's no justification for me to purchase costly chains

Hope you don't think, you'se as hardy
I hope you don't believe that you are as strong or tough as I am

Only a fews-us niggaz, gettin' high within' the game
Only a handful of us are successful in the game

If you do then, how would you explain?
If you do, then how would you describe the situation?

I'm ten years removed, still the vibe is in my veins
Even though ten years have passed, I still have the same energy

I got a hustler spirit, nigga period
I have an entrepreneur spirit, period

Check out my hat yo, peep the way I wear it
Look at my hat, see how I wear it

Check out my swag' yo, I walk like a ballplayer
Look at my swagger, I walk like a professional athlete

No matter where you go, you are what you are player
No matter where you are, you are who you are

And you can try to change but that's just as hot player
You can try to change, but that's equally as difficult

Man, you was who you was 'fore you got here
You were who you are before you arrived

Only God can judge me, so I'm gone
Only God has the power to judge me, so I'm leaving

Either love me, or leave me alone
Either love me or don't bother me
