What the hell does this Jay-Z lyric mean? I mean, I know that's the anthem, so I'd better get my damn hands up, but what does it all mean?

Okay, I get it now. Found a translation:

That's hilarious-- a friend and I at work both went through exactly this same process about two weeks ago.. HOVA? WTF? And we ended up at the same link.
Also, Jay-Z is an idiot. Seriously.

Hey, thanks. I've always wondered what that meant...

Well, "always" in this case means both times I've heard the song and not been able to change the channel / station before I inadvertantly heard enough of the song to wonder "What the...?"

The hilarious part was when Jay-Z tried that number out on the NYC police and firemen at Paul McCartney's "Concert for New York."
Ouch. If there had been beer bottles, it might have looked like that scene at the biker bar in "Blues Brothers."
