[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 FUCK you gonna do
except hustle?
Besides pimpin... you really ain't
got the stomach for that
[Jay-Z]
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, they like you
should spit it
I'm like you should buy it,
nigga 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
