Can you hear me now? Good (Blueprint 2 baby)
It's the best of times, it was the worst of times (aoww)
It's "The Gift & the Curse"
R.O.C. yeah, number one clique here
If you represent us, throw them diamonds up, yeah
Now let's be clear, I ain't goin' nowhere
Now that you know, holla at your boy
Hov' (Hov', Hov', Hov')
(Yeah, Roc-A-Fella Records
You know what diamond is
We ain't going nowhere, put your diamonds up)
Standing in my B-boy stance
Free, Beans, Memphis where you at nigga?
(Right here) Snatch Cam and it's a wrap
This here rap belong to us, nobody strong as us, it's a fact
Hold up I'm just warming up, gimme a second to get it back
Young Chris, Neef what? Oschino and Sparks
Next summer's yo' summer, tear this motherfucker up
Young is eternal, my youngins'll burn you
"The Blueprint" birthed, nigga I earthed you, you can't be serious
Young cause I'm thirty-two, dressed like I'm twenty-two
Flow like a 18, do what I want to do
Going on my 8th ring, got Phil Jackson's zen
Flow is black magic, I'm at it again
Rose gold with black karats, Horse & Carriage to spend
Like Mason Betha, chasing this cheddar, to the end
Of the road because the end I'm told is nearer than we know
What can I say but live for today, Hov'
R.O.C. yeah, number one clique here
If you represent us, throw them diamonds up, yeah
Now let's be clear, I ain't goin' nowhere
Now that you know, holla at your boy
Hov' (Hov', Hov', Hov')
(Hov', Hov', Hov', Hov')
Yeah, "The Blueprint 2" homie, follow the moves
You put on two tube socks, you couldn't walk in my shoes
I was dealt a bad hand, fuck what else could I do
But keep somethin' up my sleeve that'll help me through
But can you believe, everywhere I'm at, models come through
Cat-fightin', cat-walkin', it happens often
It's true how society don't want me to move
Into the penthouse building with spectacular views
