Never Let Me Down Lyrics

(feat. Jay-Z, J-Ivy)

 [Intro:]

 Yeah Grandmama

 Told you i won't let you down

 Told you i won't let this rap game change me, right?

 

 [Chorus:]

 When it comes to being true, at least true to me

 One thing i found,one thing i found

 Oh no you'll neva let me 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)

 Get up i get(down)

 

 [Jay-Z:]

 Yo, yo first i snatched the street then i snatched the charts,

 First had they ear now i hav they're heart,

 Rappers came and went,

 I've been hear from the start,

 Seen them put it together

 Watch them take it apart,

 See the Rovers roll up wit ribbons

 I've seen them re-poed, re-sold and re-driven

 So when i reload, he holds #1 position

 When u hot i'm hot

 And when your feet cold, mines is sizzelin

 It's plain to see

 Nigga's can't f*** wit me

 Cuz ima be that nigga fo life

 This is not an image

 This is God given

 This is hard liven 

 Mixed wit crystall 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 niggaz visitin

 It's Hov tradition, Jeff Gordan 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 that seat where white folks aint wanna us to eat

 At the tender age of 6 she was arrested for the sit in

 With that in my blood i was born to be different

 Now niggas can't make it to ballots to choose leadership

 But we can make it to Jacob and to the dealership

 That's why I hear new music 

 And i jus dont be feelin it

 Racism still alive they jus be consealin it 

 But i know they don't want me in the damn club

 They even made me show I.D to get inside of Sam's club

 I did dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed

 Swear I've been baptised at least 3 or 4 times

 But in the land where nigga's praise

 Yukons and getting paid

 It gon take a lot more than coupons to get us saved

 Like it take a lot more than do-rags to get your waves

 Notin sadder than that day my girl father past away

 So i promised to MR.rany i'm gonna marry your daughter 

 And u know i gotta thank u for they way that she was brought up

 And i know that u were smiling when u see that car i bought her

 And u sent tears from heaven when u seen my car get balled up

 But i can't complaint what the accident did to my left eye

 Cuz look what a accident did to left eye

 First Aaliyah and now romeo must die

 I know a got angels watchin me from the other side

 

 [Chorus x2]

 

 [J.Ivy:]

 We are 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 is not 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 I can't, let you or self down

 If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff

 And you slipped down the side and clinched 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 reigns out

 

 [Chorus]

 

 [Jay-Z (Kanye West)]

 Who else you know been hot this long,

 (Oh Ya, you know we ain't finished)

 Started from nothing but he got this strong,

 (The ROC is in the building)

 Built the ROC from a pebble, pedalled rock before I met you,

 Pedalled bikes, got my nephews pedal bikes because they special,

 Let you tell that man I'm falling, 

 Well somebody must've caught him,

 Cause every fourth quarter, I like to Mike Jordan 'em,

 Number one albums, what I got like four of dem,

 More of dem on the way,

 The Eight 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, 

 Dissin' Jay 'ill get you mased,

 When I start spitting them lyrics, niggas get very religious,

 Six Hail Maries, 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 tell you why,

 Everybody wanna be Hov and Hov still alive.
