Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yes, yes, yup
Welcome to the Jay-Z extravaganza
I'd like to introduce my band right now
Just Blaze and the Blazettes
Right now, I want you to give the drummer some
No ma, really
Give the drummer some
[Verse 2]
Touch the untouchable
Break the unbreakable
Shake the unshakeable
(It's Hovi baby)
Yeah, unbreakable
Rock the unrockable
(It's Hovi baby)
[Verse 3]
Follow the flow, look
They say a midget standin' on the giant's shoulder can see much
Further than the giant
So I got the whole rap world on my shoulder, they tryna see
Further than I am
[Verse 4]
And I've been tryna be patient with their pre-occupation
With David and Goliath
But sooner or later, that patience gonna run its course
And I'm forced to be a tyrant
[Verse 5]
But me and Tyran comin' through your environment
Iron mask, ****
Iron gats, ****
I am back with the team, no "i" in that
ROC, y'all not eyin' that
Y'all don't see clearly 'cause the rain ain't gone
The Dynasty
No, not Ming, but Shawn's
Dame Kareem, it's the gangsta team
Stop your run
One of the reasons that they call us gangrene
The other reason, we got a gang of green
If there's better at gettin' cheddar
That remains to be seen, ****
(Woo) Yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
Can't touch the untouchable
Break the unbreakable
Shake the unshakeable
(It's Hovi baby)
Can't see the unseeable
Reach the unreachable
Do the impossible
(It's Hovi baby)
Can't move the unmovable
Stop the unstoppable
[Verse 7]
I'm so far ahead of my time
I'm 'bout to start another life
Look behind you, I'm 'bout to pass you twice
Back to the future
Gotta slow up for the present
I'm fast, **** can't get past my past
How they propose to deal with my perfect present?
[Verse 8]
When I unwrap "The Gift & The Curse" in one session
Ain't no livin' person can test him
Only two resting in Heaven can be mentioned in the same breath as him
Seven straight summers, critics might not admit it
But nobody in rap did it quite like I did it
If you did it, I done it before, you get it, I had it
Got mad at it and don't want it no more
And that goes for everything from flippin' it raw
Flippin' whores, flippin' vocal chords
Don't get it twisted
Get it right, did it different
Did it better, did it nice
Did the impossible, then did it twice (Get it right)
[Verse 9]
Can't touch the untouchable
Break the unbreakable
Shake the unshakeable
(It's Hovi baby)
Can't see the unseeable
Reach the unreachable
Do the impossible
(It's Hovi baby)
[Verse 10]
Yup, Hovi's home, the global phone
The world is back in order
The number one rap recorder is back
You cats over-felt yourself
You couldn't help yourself
Now witness the real for real
In my absence, cats get absent-minded
[Verse 11]
Now it's time to rewind and remind 'em why I'm in the position that I am
Changin' the game, my game could nail Madonna
Well, after I'm gone, they'll honor
History in the makin' Pistol Pete
Leave competition shaking with missing the beat
[Verse 12]
Chasin' the hi-hat all over the track
The snare is scared in the air in here (Boom)
And plus I get paper dog
Don't let me forget
The watch face so blue like it's holdin' its breath
Can't see me skill for skill or check for check
It's the bow-tie flow, dawg, I bring it to your neck
[Verse 13]
Live and direct, I will bring it to your set
I got now, I don't care who got next
Rapper slash exec, Kordell Stewart
Your flow all y'all using is mine, you're all useless
You ain't a factor, who are you foolin'?
You all are faggots, takin' us backwards
I'm tryna progress with this rap shit
****, your whole career's an accident
Who was gassin' 'em? (Fuck outta here)
[Verse 14]
Can't touch the untouchable
Break the unbreakable
Shake the unshakeable
(It's Hovi baby)
Can't see the unseeable
Reach the unreachable
Do the impossible
(It's Hovi baby)
