JAY-Z lyrics : "The Prelude"

The game is $#&@ed up
^!$$%s beats is banging
^!$$% your hooks did it

Your lyrics didn't
Your gangster look did it
So I would write it

If y'all could get it
Being intricate
Get you wood critics

On the internet
They like u should spit
I'm like, you should buy it

^!$$% that's good business
Forget this rap %#@!
I need a new hustle

A lil bit of everything
The new improved rustle
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, set up a camera and let the video run

And my real life
Complete with real ice
VVS boulders all invisibly set

Head and shoulders
My invisible neck
You see HOVA wasn't digital yet

Before Steve Jobs made the iPod
I was getting head jobs
We call that intimate

Back when rappers wouldn't dare play
Lyrical roulette
With an automatic weapon

I was repping with a Tech
Fresh like Manny be
Chain like antifreeze

Shoebox full of cash
Dealer man hand me keys
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 (*##$, lawyer (*##$
Sure he's rich now
Cause he saw this %#@!, all this %#@!

That's why they call him HOV
Cause he came before all this %#@!
Bought a 6, quarter seven

Skipped on them quarter eights
Bought a Nine from nonstop clock work
All the time

Guess who's back
Since this is a new era
I gotta fresh new hat

10-year veteran
I been said I been through
With this bullsh*t game but I never can

I used to think rapping at 38 was ill
But last year alone I grossed 38 mill
I know I ain't quite 38 but still

The flow is so special got a 38 feel
The real is back
