Ladies and gentlemen, put our hands together for the astonishing
H to the 
izz-O
V to the izz-A

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 8th wonder of 
the world
The flow o' the century
Oh it's timeless, Hove
Thanks for 
comin' out tonight
You could'a been anywhere in the world, but you're here 
with me
I appreciate that
Uh

H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo' 
shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
Was herbin' em in the home of 
the Terrapins
Got it dirt cheap for them
Plus if they was short wit' 
cheese I would work wit' them
Boy and we
Got rid of that dirt for 
them
Wasn't born hustlers I was burpin' em
H to the izz-O, V to the 
izz-A
Fo' sheezy my neezy keep my arms so freezy
Can't leave rap alone the 
game needs me
Haters want me clapped and chromed it ain't easy
Cops wanna 
knock me, D.A. wanna box me in
But somehow, I beat them charges like 
Rocky
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty, he who does not feel me 
is not real to me
Therefore he doesn't exist
So poof, vamoose son of a 
bitch

* H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo' shizzle my nizzle used to 
dribble down in VA
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
That's the anthem 
get'cha damn hands up
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty ya'll 
got-ta feel me
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
That's the anthem get'cha 
damn hands up

Holla at me
I do this for my culture
To let 'em know 
what a nigga look like
When a nigga in a roaster
Show 'em how to move in a 
room full 'o vultures
Industry shady it need to be taken over
Label owners 
hate me I'm raisin' the status quo up
I'm overchargin' niggaz for what they 
did to the Cold Crush
Pay us like you owe us for all the years that you hold 
us
We can talk, but money talks so talk mo' bucks

[Repeat

Yeah
Hove is back, life stories told through rap
Niggaz actin' 
like I sold you crack
Like I told you sell drugs, no
Hove did that so 
hopefully you won't have to go through that
I was raised in the projects, 
roaches and rats
Smokers out back, sellin' they mama's sofa
Lookouts on 
the corner, focused on the ave'
Ladies in the window, focused on the 
kinfolk
Me under a lamp post, why I got my hand closed?
Cracks in my palm, 
watchin' the long arm o' the law
So you know I seen it all before
I seen 
hoop dreams deflate like a true fiend's weight
To try and to fail, the two 
things I hate
Succeed in this rap game, the two things is great
H to the 
izz-O, V to the izz-A
What else can I say about dude, I gets 
bizzay

[Repeat *]

H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
H to the 
izz-O, V to the izz-A
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
H to the izz-O, V to 
the izz-A
