Never Let Me Down - Album Version (Edited)

[00:03.85] Oh, baby (hahaha)
[00:09.66] Turn the motherfuckin' music up
[00:10.82] When it comes to being true
[00:13.29] At least true to me (that's right, it's what I do, c'mon)
[00:16.44] One thing I've found (uh-huh)
[00:17.86] One thing I've found
[00:18.84] Oh, no, you'll never let me down (no, I ain't never let you down)
[00:20.49] Get up I get (down)
[00:21.74] Get up I get (down)
[00:23.32] Get up I get (down)
[00:24.64] Get up I get (down)
[00:25.90] Get up I get (down)
[00:27.69] Get up I get down
[00:28.57] First I snatched the streets
[00:29.92] Then I snatch the charts
[00:31.63] First I had they ear
[00:33.22] Now I have they hear
[00:34.41] Rappers came and went
[00:35.79] I've been here from the start
[00:37.01] I seen them put it together
[00:38.84] Watched them take it apart
[00:40.27] Seen the Rovers roll up with ribbons
[00:42.05] I seen 'em re-po'd, re-sold, and re-driven
[00:44.72] So when I reload, he holds number one positions
[00:47.72] When you hot, I'm hot
[00:49.28] And when your feet cold, mines are sizzlin'
[00:51.59] It's plain to see, niggas can't fuck with me
[00:54.60] 'Cause I'ma be that nigga for life, this is not an image
[00:57.83] This is God-given
[00:59.16] This is hard livin' mixed with Cristal sippin'
[01:01.96] It's the most consistent, Hov
[01:03.29] Give you the most hits
[01:04.22] You could fit inside a whole disk and
[01:06.38] Nigga, I'm home on these charts, y'all niggas visitin'
[01:09.08] It's Hov tradition, Jeff Gordon of rap
[01:11.66] I'm back to claim pole position
[01:13.44] Holla at ya boy
[01:14.83] (Down)
[01:15.15] Get up I get (down)
[01:16.67] Get up I get (down)
[01:17.65] Get up I get (down)
[01:19.39] Get up I get
[01:19.98] I get down for my grandfather
[01:21.84] Who took my mama, made her sit in that seat
[01:24.36] Where white folks ain't want us to eat
[01:26.10] At the tender age of six she was arrested for the sit-ins
[01:28.97] And with that in my blood, I was born to be different
[01:31.88] Now niggas can't make it to ballots to choose leadership
[01:34.71] But we can make it to Jacob's or to the dealership
[01:37.77] Swear, I hear new music and I just don't be feelin' it
[01:40.60] Racisim's still alive, they just be concealin' it
[01:43.55] But I know they don't want me in the damn club
[01:46.24] They even made me show ID to get inside of Sam's Club
[01:49.45] I done did dirt and when to church to get my hands scrubbed
[01:52.47] Swear I been baptised 'least three or four times
[01:54.57] But in the land where niggas praise you, cons are gettin' paid
[01:57.74] It's gon' take a lot more than coupons to get us saved
[02:00.47] Like it take a lot more than Do-Rags to get you waves
[02:03.37] Nothin' as sad as the day my girl's father passed away
[02:05.98] So I promised to Mr. Rainey, I'm gonna marry your daughter
[02:09.13] And you know I gotta thank you for the way that she was brought up
[02:11.93] And I know that you was smilin' when you seen the car I bought her
[02:15.08] And you sent tears from heaven when you seen my car get balled up
[02:17.86] But I can't complain what the accident did to my left eye
[02:21.23] 'Cause look what a accident did to Left-Eye
[02:23.98] First Aaliyah, now Romeo must die
[02:26.32] I know I got angels watchin' me from the other side
[02:29.26] When it comes to being true at least true to me
[02:33.70] One thing I've found, one thing I've found
[02:36.67] Oh, no, you'll never let me down
[02:38.53] Get up I get (down)
[02:39.86] Get up I get (down)
[02:41.46] Get up I get (down)
[02:43.01] Get up I get (down)
[02:44.29] Get up I get (down)
[02:45.73] Get up I get (down)
[02:47.12] We are all here for a reason on a particular path
[02:49.97] You don't need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math
[02:53.22] Cats think I'm delirious, but I'm so damn serious
[02:56.33] That's why I expose my soul to the globe, the world
[02:59.74] I'm tryna make it better for these little boys and girls
[03:02.53] I'm not just another individual
[03:04.59] My spirit is a part of this, that's why I get spiritual
[03:07.49] But I get my hymns from Him
[03:09.39] So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical
[03:11.76] I'm not a miracle
[03:12.66] I'm a heaven-sent instrument
[03:14.33] My rythmatic regiment navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental
[03:18.54] That's why I'm instrumental
[03:20.44] Vibrations is what I'm into
[03:22.22] Yeah, I need my loot by rent day
[03:24.17] But that ain't what gives me the heart of Kunta Kinte
[03:26.48] I'm tryin' to give us, "us free" like Cinque
[03:29.10] I can't stop
[03:30.24] That's why I'm hot
[03:31.10] Determination, dedication, motivation
[03:33.97] I'm talking to you of my many inspirations
[03:36.46] When I say I can't let you or self down
[03:38.67] If I were on the highest cliff on the highest riff
[03:41.47] And you slipped off the side and clenched on to your life in my grip
[03:44.83] I would never, ever, let you down
[03:47.70] And when these words are found
[03:49.53] Let it be known that God's penmanship
[03:51.11] Has been signed in the language called love
[03:53.42] That's why my breath is felt by the deaf
[03:55.83] And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
[03:59.04] I, too, dream in color, and in rhyme
[04:01.54] So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house
[04:04.21] 'Cause whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth
[04:07.56] A touch of God rains out
[04:11.08] Take 'em to church
[04:12.96] When it comes to being true, at least true to me
[04:17.79] One thing I've found, one thing I've found
[04:20.37] Ohm no, you'll never let me down
[04:21.95] Get up I get (down)
[04:23.38] Get up I get
[04:24.64] Get up I get
[04:26.13] Get up I get
[04:27.62] Get up I get
[04:29.18] Get up I get down
[04:30.07] Who else you know been hot this long?
[04:31.74] (Oh, yeah, you know we ain't finished)
[04:33.47] Started from nothing, but he got this strong (the Roc is in the building)
[04:36.05] Built the Roc from a pebble, pedalled rock before I met you
[04:38.54] Pedalled bikes, got my nephews pedal bikes because they special
[04:41.40] Let you tell that man I'm falling
[04:42.77] Well, somebody must've caught him, 'cause
[04:44.51] Every fourth quarter, I like to Mike Jordan them
[04:47.37] Number one albums, what I got? Like four of them
[04:50.34] More of them on the way, the Eighth Wonder on the way
[04:53.18] Clear the way, I'm here to stay
[04:54.41] Y'all can save the chitter chat, this and that, dissin' Jay
[04:57.14] Dissin' Jay will get you mased
[04:59.23] When I start spitting them lyrics, niggas get very religious
[05:02.41] Six Hail Marys, "Please Father forgive us"
[05:04.36] Young, the Archbishop, the Pope John Paul of y'all niggas
[05:08.26] The way y'all all follow Jigga
[05:10.45] Hov's a living legend and I tell you why
[05:12.72] Everybody wanna be Hov and Hov's still alive
[05:16.27] Down, down, down, down, down
[05:23.42]
