This is a state of emergency
What you want me to do? 
I'm sorry
I'm back

Lets go get 'em, Just!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Uh huh

[Chorus]
Show me what you got, lil' mama
Show me what you got, pretty lady
Show me what you got, shorty
Show me what you got, baby
Hands up
And wave (Show 'em what you got)
And wave (Show 'em what you got)
And wave (Show 'em what you got)
And wave

Give the drummer some
S***, I already gave the summer some
It's the winter's turn
Hovie Hov is the coldest
I'm just getting better with time
I'm like Opus
One young, no two alike, like a snowflake
Okay, show me what you got, babe
Words is slurring, engine purring
Mami frontin', but I'm so determined
Shots of Patron, now she's in a zone
I ain't talking about the 2-3
Mami in the zone like the homie 2-3
Jordan or James
Makes no difference, boo
I'm ballin' the same
N****, I am the Mike Jordan of recording
N****, you might want to fall back from recording
S*** that you write; it's not important
So it forced him to go for the hype
For being brave, and they may applaud him
Well, misery I will a**ure them
Aww, baby, just ignore them
Truth or dare, mami, listen and learn
I got a drop I just took off the top
It's your turn

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Chorus: x2]

H.O.V.A.
Gold bottles of that ace of spade
Why even fool with these other guys? 
They all stingy
All these dudes know how to say is 'gimmie'
Gimmie some head, give me some brain
Give me your number, gimmie your name
But if I get one night, baby girl, I swear
I'll make you tell these other dudes gimmie got you here
I'll take you shopping, take long trips
I'll take the cork off, you can take sips
I'll take you there, take my time
Take your clothes off
I'll take off mine
Ma, show me what you got
Hovi in the spot tried to told you I was hot
Tell these other dudes it's a wrap
Get the f*** out the throne, you clone
The king's back!

Y'all got less than two months to get y'all thing together
Good luck!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Ladies and gentlemen, the most incredible!
H.O.
Uh huh
H.O.
Uh huh, he's back! 
Uh uh
Justin Blaze and the Blazettes
Rocafella Records
The dynasty continues
Y'all die
Peace
