Announcement
Pharrell Williams Lyrics

I'm finna take you to the tip-top, baby
I am going to bring you to the highest point of success and happiness, my dear

Everybody, I'd like to announce
Attention everyone, I have an important message to share

Throw your hands up when we in the house
Raise your hands in celebration and excitement while we are here

Yeah, this is hip hop, baby
Yes, this is the essence and culture of hip hop, my darling

And tell your girl that the tickets is out
Inform your partner that the tickets are available for purchase

And we gonna do this 'til they kickin' us out
And we will continue to do this until we are forced to leave

Cause, this is hip hop, baby
Because, my love, this represents the true spirit of hip hop

Live from the south side, this one, hide your gun
Presenting this song from the southern side, where violence is prevalent, so keep your firearms hidden

Representing Chi Town to the fullest, raps are bullets
Showing immense pride and loyalty to Chicago, my raps are as impactful as bullets

See them rappers? They be duckin'
Notice how other rappers are avoiding confrontation

When Comm be buckin' in the kitchen, fuckin'
When Common goes all out in his passionate performance, it's like he's making love in the kitchen

On the sink, got my momma a mink
In a luxurious manner, I bought my mother a fur coat

Think Common is the link
Believe that Common is the connecting element

Thought the game was extinct
Many believed that the rap game was no longer relevant or thriving

Lady, them jeans is as slim as Shady
Dear lady, your jeans are as tight-fitting as Eminem's alter ego, Slim Shady

Brought them back from the 80's
Reviving the fashion trends from the 1980s

Now, let's make some babies
Now, let's create something new and exciting together

Freestyle paid off so Lincoln paid me
My improvised rap skills brought me success and financial reward, just like Abraham Lincoln's face on a bill

Now we can push more whips than slavery
Now we have the ability to own and drive more luxury cars than the cruel history of slavery

Alex Haley of this rap shit, my roots is deep
I am the Alex Haley, the author of this rap music industry, and my artistic origins are deeply ingrained

You heard the bitch in you, yeah I know what's beef
You have heard the aggressive and confrontational side of you, and I understand the concept of conflict

Let it cook and I pop like grease
Allow it to simmer and then watch me explode with energy and talent

You thirsty niggas can't shock my feast, ugh
You desperate individuals cannot diminish my success and accomplishments, ugh

I still love her, she be needin' the dick
I still have a deep affection for her, as she has a desire for intimacy with me

When it comes to hip-hop, it's just me and my bitch
When it comes to the world of hip-hop, it's just me and my loyal partner

Baby, you're like, "What the-- fuck? There is no other"
Darling, you are expressing surprise and disbelief, stating that there is nobody else like me

Valet crashed my Rolls so quickly I bought another
The valet attendant crashed my Rolls-Royce abruptly, but I had the means to immediately purchase a replacement

Sorry, Mr. Williams moved out the building
Apologies, but Mr. Williams has left this establishment

Spot to the top, 50 feet was the ceiling
Reaching the highest position, the peak, with a limited ceiling of 50 feet

(Slow down, son, you're killin' 'em) Well funded it was not gangsta
(Take it easy, young man, you're impressing them) I was not in possession of significant wealth or resources like a traditional gangster

Came to shitty deals, reminiscing gives me chills
Dealing with unfavorable contracts and agreements in the past, thinking about it brings me discomfort and unease

When Puff was with Biggie, Versace on every niggie
During the period when Puff Daddy was associated with Biggie Smalls, Versace fashion was prominent among the crowd

The backpacker copped the Porsche and drove through his city
The person known for being part of the rap subculture called 'backpacker' acquired a Porsche and proudly drove through his hometown

Now, all the little bitties, from ugly to pretty
Now, all the attractive young ladies, regardless of their initial appearance, can have the opportunity to shine

I was the magician, mesmerize 'em, made 'em listen
I possessed a captivating ability to captivate and influence others, enchanting them with my words and music

My dick is like a blow-pop baby
My penis is comparable to a blow-pop, my dear

And it get stiffer than some Botox baby
Furthermore, it becomes harder and more erect than someone who has received Botox injections, my love

But show out baby, and show me you gon' act right
But impress me, my love, and demonstrate that you will behave appropriately

And I'll be pedaling backwards like a track bike
And I will be moving in a reverse motion, like riding a track bicycle in reverse

She don't know the Casio cost a hundred
She is unaware that the Casio watch is worth one hundred dollars

It's been two years since I done it, now all the rappers want it
It has been two years since I accomplished it, and now all the other rappers desire the same thing

What?
What is happening?

As I sit back, relax with Chicago on my back
While I lean back and unwind, I carry the weight and responsibility of representing Chicago

Unzip the backpack, pull out a fifth of 'gnac
Open my backpack and retrieve a bottle of cognac

I probably go to jail but naw, that ain't me
It is possible that I could end up in jail, but no, that does not align with who I am as a person

I style crazy and net like Jay Z
I have an extravagant and unique fashion sense and generate a substantial amount of money, just like Jay Z

The black Kojak "I get money" and want more stacks
As a black version of the detective Kojak, I proudly proclaim that I accumulate wealth and desire even more riches

The rap photographer, the way the flow snap
I am like a skilled photographer in the world of rap music, capturing every moment with a perfectly timed and impactful flow

Broads say, "Are you a philosopher?"
Women often ask me if I possess the wisdom and deep thinking associated with a philosopher

Yea yea, I'll philosophize on top of ya
Yes, indeed, I will engage in philosophical discussions and reflections while being physically intimate with you
