Izzo/In The End Lyrics

This is fun
Ladies and gentlemen, put our hands together for the astonishing

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 8th wonder of the world
The flow o' the century, always timeless, HOV!
Thank you for coming out tonight
You could of been anywhere in the world, but you're here with us
We appreciate that, uh

H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
For shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
Was herbing 'em in the home of the terrapins
Got it dirt cheap for them
Plus if they was short with cheese I would work with them
Boy and we got rid of that dirt for them
Wasn't born hustlers I was burping 'em
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
For sheezy my neezy keep my arms so freezy
Can't leave rap alone the game needs me
Haters want me clapped and chromed it ain't easy
Cops want to knock me, D.A. want to box me in
But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty, he who does not feel me is not real to me
Therefore he doesn't exist
So ****, vamoose son of a *****

H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
For shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
That's the anthem get your damn hands up
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty y'all gotta feel me
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A (Check it out)
Yo, It starts with one thing

I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on and didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so

H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
LP, Jay-Z, Help me out
We'll have a good old time out there
It starts with
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
LP, Jay-Z, Help me out
We'll have a good old time out there
It starts with
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
LP, Jay-Z, Help me out
Yeah, yeah, yes it's here lady's and gentleman

What is the Meaning of Izzo/In The End?

In this dynamic collaboration, JAY-Z and Linkin Park juxtapose themes of personal ambition and existential reflection. JAY-Z's verses from "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" celebrate his rise from humble beginnings to rap mogul, emphasizing resilience and the mastery over his craft through a clever play on words ("H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A"). In contrast, Linkin Park's chorus from "In The End" introduces a somber tone, contemplating the futility of efforts when faced with the inevitable passage of time. This blend not only showcases their musical versatility but also prompts listeners to consider how success is measured against life’s transient nature. The seamless integration of these perspectives challenges us to reflect on our own pursuits and the legacy we wish to leave behind 🎤.
