H To The Izzo Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen, put our hands together for the astonishing...

 [girls singing]

 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 coulda been anywhere in the world, but you're here with me

 I appreciate that...uuunnnh...

 

 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

 

 [CHORUS]

 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

 

 [CHORUS]

 

 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 pro-jects, 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

 

 [CHORUS]

 

 [girls singing]

 H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A... [4x to fade out]
