Kanye West - Blueprint Compilation lyrics

(feat. Jay-Z, Jim Morrison, Bobby "Blue" Bland, David Ruf)

[The song starts with Jay-Z - Izzo (H.O.V.A.)]

Ladies and gentlemen let's put our hands together for the astonishing

H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A

[Jay-Z]

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 8th wonder of the world

The flow of the century, oh it's timeless, HOV'!

Thanks for comin' out tonight

You could've been anywhere in the world, but you're here with me

I appreciate that, uhh

[The song changes to: The Jackson Five - I Want You back]

[The song changes to: The Doors - Five to One]

[Kanye West talking]

Yo this song right here, I remember I used to play

This sample for people before I hooked up

And I used to tell people "you know, this, this gon' be like The Truth

But it's gon' better than The Truth", and to all my niggaz, my nigga ??? said:

"I mean ask these but it ain't no Truth, that ain't no Truth right there!"

And he was all like, the Takeover

[Jim Morrison]

Five to one, baby, one in five

No one here, gets, out alive, now

You'll get yours, baby, I'll get mine

Gonna make it, baby, if we try

The old get old, and the young get stronger

May take a week, and it may take longer

They got the guns, but we got the numbers

Gonna win, yeah we're, takin' over

Come on!

[The song changes to: Jay-Z - Takeover]

[Jay-Z]

R.O.C., we runnin' this rap shit

Memphis Bleek, we runnin' this rap shit

B. Mac, we runnin' this rap shit

Freeway, we runnin' this rap shit

O and Sparks, we runnin' this rap shit

Chris and Neef, we runnin' this rap shit

The takeover, the break's over nigga

God MC, me, Jay-Hova

Hey lil' soldier you ain't ready for war

R.O.C.'s too strong for y'all

[Kanye West]

Acrite nigga!

[The song changes to: Jay-Z - Heart of the City (Ain't no Love)]

[Jay-Z]

Uh, uh, listen

Somebody got a problem with Hov'

What's up y'all niggaz all fed up cause I got a little cheddar

and my records movin' out the store

[The song changes to: Bobby "Blue" Bland - Ain't no Love in the Heart of the City]

[Bobby "Blue" Bland]

Ain't no love, in the heart of the city

Ain't no love, in the heart of town

Ain't no love..
