Ladies and gentlemen, put our hands together for the astonishing
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 8th wonder of the world
The flow o' the century, always timeless, HOV!
Thank you for coming out tonight
You could of been anywhere in the world, but you're here with us
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
For shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
Was herbing 'em in the home of the terrapins
Got it dirt cheap for them
Plus if they was short with cheese I would work with them
Boy and we got rid of that dirt for them
Wasn't born hustlers I was burping 'em
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
For 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 want to knock me, D.A. want to 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 ****, vamoose son of a *****
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
For shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
That's the anthem get your damn hands up
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty y'all gotta feel me
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A (Check it out)
Yo, It starts with one thing
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on and didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
We'll have a good old time out there
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
We'll have a good old time out there
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Yeah, yeah, yes it's here lady's and gentleman
