Oh Baby

[Chorus]
When it comes to being true, at least true to me

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)

[Jay-Z]
Yo, yo first I snatched the streets, then I snatched the charts,
First I had they ear, now I have they heart,
Rappers came and went,
I've been here from the start,
I seen them put it together,
Watch them take it apart,
See the rovers roll up with ribbons,
I see them re po'd, re sold then re driven,
So when I reload, he holds number one positions,
When you hot, I'm hot,
And when your feet cold, mines are sizzlin�,
It's plain to see,
Niggas can't fuck with me,
Cuz ima 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,
And nigga I'm home on these charts, y'all niggas visiting,
It's Hov tradition, Jeff Gordon of rap,
I'm back to claim pole position, holla at ya boy,

[Chorus]

[Kanye West]
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 sitins,
And with that in my blood I was born to be different,
Now niggas can't make it to ballots to chose leadership,
But we can make it to Jacobs or to the dealership,
That's why I hear new music and 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 deal dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed,
That why I�ve baptized these 3 or 4 times,
But in the land where niggas praise,
Yukons and getting paid,
Its gon� take a lot more than coupons to get us saved,
just like it will take more than do-rags to get your way,
Nothin� sad as that day my girl father passed away,
So I promise to Mr. Raney, I�m gonna marry your daughter,
And you know I gotta thank you for they way that she was brought up,
And I know that you were smiling when you seen the car I bought her,
And 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 an accident did to Left Eye,
First Aaliyah, now Romeo Must Die,
I know I got angels watchin� me from the other side,

[Chorus]

[J.Ivy]
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 trying 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 loot by rent day,
But that ain�t what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte,
I'm tryina �Give us us free� like Cinque,
I can't stop, that's why I'm hot,
Determination, dedication, motivation,
I'm talking 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,

[Kanye West]
Take �em to church

[Chorus]

[Jay-Z]
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 nephew�s,
Pedal bikes because they special,
That you tell that man I thought it, well,
Somebody must�ve taught him cause,
Every fourth quarter, I light the Mike Jord� in them,
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 and that�, �this and Jay�,
This and Jay�ll get you maced,
When I start spittin� them lyrics,
Niggas get very religious,
Six Hail Mary�s 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 living legend and I�ll tell you why,
Everybody wanna be Hov and Hov�s still alive.
