The Prelude - Jay-Z
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 fuck you gonna do
except hustle
Besides pimpin
you really ain't
got the stomach for that
The game's fucked up
Nigga's beats is bangin
nigga 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
hey like you should spit it
I'm like you should buy it
nigga that's good business
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
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
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
