The prelude

LETRA

The prelude

[Intro: snippets of Eddie in "Super Fly"]
You know, you´ve got this.. fantasy in your head about
gettin outta the life and, settin the corporate world on its ear
What the F*** you gonna do except hustle?
Besides pimpin... you really ain´t got the stomach for that

[Jay-Z]
The game´s fuc*** up
Nigga´s beats is bangin, ni*** your hooks did it
Your lyrics did and your gangster look did it
So I would write it if y´all could get it
Bein intricate´ll get you wood, critic
On the internet, they like you should spit it
I´m like you should buy it, ni*** that´s good business
Hehe, forget this rap shit I need a new hustle
A little bit of everything, the new improved Russell
I say that reluctantly cause I do struggle
As you see I can´t leave so I do love you
But I´m just a hustler disguised as a rapper
In fact you can´t fit this hustle inside of a wrapper
Back when crack was
What these pills are, I was a real star
Complete with real, cars, no video ones
You can come and set up a camera, let the video run
And my real life, complete with real, ice
VVS boulders oh they´re visibly set
Head and shoulders, my invisible neck
You see Hova, wasn´t digital yet
Befo´ Steve Jobs, made the iPod
Was gettin head, jobs, we call that intimate
Back when rappers wouldn´t dare play lyrical roulette
With a automatic weapon I was reppin with a tec
(Fresh) like (Mannie) be, chain like anti-freeze
Shoebox full of cash, dealer man hand me ki´s
Pantries full of Arm & Hammer, don´t take Nancy Drew to see
what it do, I´m a damn G
Just sent a million dollars through a hands free
That´s big money talk, can you answer me?
Before the answer was a 3
I was down in Georgetown with a Hoya chick, lawyer chick
Sure he´s rich now cause he saw the shit, all this shit
That´s why they call him Hov´, cause he came before all this shit
Bought a 6, quarter seven, skipped on them quarter eights
Bought a 9 for non-stop glock work all the time
Woo! Guess who´s back?
Since this is a new era, got a fresh new hat
Ten year veteran, I´ve been set
I´ve been through with this bullshit game but I never quit
I used to think rappin at 38 was ill
But last year alone I grossed 38 mill´
I know I ain´t quite 38 but still
The flow so (Special) got a (38) feel
The real is back, hehehehe
