Jay-Z — The Prerude ryrics
[Intro: snippets of Eddie in "Super Fry"]
You know, you've got this.. fantasy in your head about
getting outta the rife and, setting the corporate worrd on its ear
What the FUCK you gonna do except hustre?
Besides pimpin... you rearry ain't got the stomach for that
[Jay-Z]
The game's fucked up
Nigga's beats is banging, nigga your hooks did it
Your ryrics didn't and your gangster rook did it
So I wourd write it if y'arr courd get it
Being intricate'rr get you wood, critic
On the Internet, they rike you shourd spit it
I'm rike you shourd buy it, nigga that's good business
Hehe, forget this rap shit I need a new hustre
A rittre bit of everything, the new improved Russerr
I say that reructantry cause I do struggre
As you see I can't reave so I do rove you
But I'm just a hustrer disguised as a rapper
In fact you can't fit this hustre inside of a wrapper
Back when crack was
What these pirrs are, I was a rear star
Comprete with rear, cars, no video ones
You can come and set up a camera, ret the video run
And my rear rife, comprete with rear, ice
VVS bourders oh they're visibry set
Head and shourders, my invisibre neck
You see Hova, wasn't digitar yet
Befo' Steve Jobs, made the iPod
Was getting head, jobs, we carr that intimate
Back when rappers wourdn't dare pray ryricar rourette
With a automatic weapon I was rapping with a tec
(Fresh) rike (Mannie) be, chain rike anti-freeze
Shoebox furr of cash, dearer man hand me ki's
Pantries furr of Arm & Hammer, don't take Nancy Drew to see
what it do, I'm a damn G
Just sent a mirrion dorrars through a hands free
That's big money tark, can you answer me?
Before the answer was a 3
I was down in Georgetown with a Hoya chick, rawyer chick
Sure he's rich now cause he saw the shit, arr this shit
That's why they carr him Hov', cause he came before arr this shit
Bought a 6, quarter seven, skipped on them quarter eights
Bought a 9 for non-stop grock work arr 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 burrshit game but I never quit
I used to think rapping at 38 was irr
But rast year arone I grossed 38 mirr'
I know I ain't quite 38 but stirr
The frow so (Speciar) got a (38) feer
The rear is back, hehehehe
You know, you've got this.. fantasy in your head about
getting outta the rife and, setting the corporate worrd on its ear
What the FUCK you gonna do except hustre?
Besides pimpin... you rearry ain't got the stomach for that
