Versuri 08. Never Let Me Down

Oh, baby, tell the motherfuckers 
 
When it comes to bein' true, at least true to me 
One thing I found, one thing I found 
Oh, no you'll never let me down 
 
Get up, I get down, get up, I get down 
Get up, I get down, get up, I get down 
Get up, I get down, get up, I get down 
 
Yo, first I snatched the streets, then I snatched the charts 
First I had they ear, now I have they heart 
Rappers came an' went, I've been here from the start 
I seen them put it together, watch them take it apart 
 
Seen the rollers roll up wit ribbons 
I seen a repoe, resolded, then redriven 
So when I reload, he holds number one positions 
When you hot, I'm hot an' when your feet cold, mines are sizzlin' 
 
It's plain to see, niggas can't fuck wit me 
'Cuz I'ma be that nigga for life, this is not an image 
This is God-given, this is hard livin' 
Mixed wit Cristal sippin', it's the most consistent 
 
Hov give you the most hits you can fit inside a whole disc 
An' nigga, I'm home on these charts, y'all niggas visitin' 
It's Hov tradition, Jeff Gordon of rap 
I'm back to claim pole position, holla at ya' boy 
 
Get up, I get down, get up, I get down 
Get up, I get down, get up 
 
I get down for my grandfather, who took my momma 
Made her sit in that seat where white folks ain't want us to eat 
At the tender age of 6, she was arrested for the sittin' 
An' with that in my blood, I was born to be different 
 
Now niggas can't make it to battles to chose leadership 
But we can make it to Jacobs an' to the dealership 
That's why I hear new music an' I just don't be feelin' it 
Racism still alive, they just be concealin' it 
 
But I know they don't want me in the damn club 
They even make me show ID to get inside of Sam's Club 
I did dirt an' went to church to get my hands scrubbed 
I swear I've been baptized at least 3 or 4 times 
 
But in the land where niggas praise, Yukon's are gettin' paid 
It's gon' take a lot more than coupons to get us saved 
Like it take a lot more than do-rags to get your waves 
Nothin' sad as that day, my girl father passed away 
 
So I promise to Mr. Rainey, "I'm gonna marry your daughter" 
An' you know I gotta thank you for they way that she was brought up 
An' I know that you were smilin' when you seen the car I bought her 
An' you sent tears from Heaven when you seen my car get balled up 
 
But I can't complain what the accident did to my left eye 
'Cuz look what a accident did to Left Eye 
First Aaliyah, now Romeo Must Die 
I know I got angels watchin' me from the other side 
 
When it comes to bein' true, at least true to me 
One thing I found, one thing I found 
Oh, no you'll never let me down 
 
Get up, I get down, get up, I get down 
Get up, I get down, get up, I get down 
Get up, I get down, get up, I get down 
 
We're all here for a reason on a particular path 
You don't need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math 
Cats think I'm delirious, but I'm so damn serious 
That's why I expose my soul to the globe, the world 
 
I'm tryin' to make it better for these little boys and girls 
I'm not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this 
That's why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him 
So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical 
 
I'm not a miracle, I'm a Heaven-sent instrument 
My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes 
For your soul and your mental 
That's why I'm instrumental 
 
Vibrations is what I'm into, yeah, I need my lubarinde 
But that ain't what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte 
I'm tryin' 'Give us us free' like sinkay 
I can't stop, that's why I'm hot 
 
Determination, dedication, motivation 
I'm talkin' to you, my many inspirations 
When I say it I can't, let you or self down 
 
If I were on the highest cliff, on the highest rift 
And you slipped off the side and clenched on to your life in my grip 
I would never, ever let you down 
 
And when these words are found 
Let it been known that God's penmanship has been signed 
With a language called love, that's why my breath is felt by the deaf 
And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind 
I, too, dream in color and in rhyme 
 
So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house 
'Cuz whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth 
A touch of God rains out, take 'em to church 
 
When it comes to bein' true, at least true to me 
One thing I found, one thing I found 
I know you'll never let me down 
 
Get up, I get, get up, I get 
Get up, I get, get up, I get 
Get up, I get, get up, I get down 
 
Who else you know been hot this long? 
Started from nothin' but he got this strong 
Picked the rock from a pebble, peddled rock before I met you 
Peddle bikes, got my nephews pedal bikes because they special 
 
Let you tell that man I thought it, well, somebody must've taught him 
'Cause every fourth quarter, I light the Mike Jord' in 'em 
Number one albums, what? I got, like, four of them 
More of them on the way, the eighth wonder on the way 
 
Clear the way, I'm here to stay, y'all can save the chitter chat 
"This an' that", "This an' Jay", this an' Jay'll get you maced 
When I start spittin' them lyrics, niggas get very religious 
Six Hail Marys please, Father, forgive us 
 
Young, the archbishop, the Pope John Paul of y'all niggas 
The way y'all all follow Jigga 
Hov's a livin' legend an' I'll tell you why 
Everybody wanna be Hov an' Hov's still alive 
 
Down, down, down 
Down, down, down
