    letra de Beach Chair

    [Verse One]
    Life is but a dream to me
    I don't wanna wake up
    Thirty odd years without having my cake up
    So I'm about my paper
    24/7, 365, 366 in a leap year
    I don't know why we here
    Since we gotta be here
    Life is but a beach chair
    Went from having shabby clothes
    Crossing over Abbey Roads
    Hear my angels singing to me
    Are you happy hov?
    I just hope I'm hearing right
    Karma got me feelin like
    Collike are you praying for me
    See I got demons in my past
    So I got daughters on the way
    If the prophecy's correct
    Then the child shouldn't have to pay
    For the sins of a father
    So I barter my tommorows
    Against my yesterdays
    In hopes that she'll be ok
    And when I'm no longer here
    To shade her face from the glare
    I'll give her my share of Carol's Daughter
    And a shiny new beach chair

    [Verse Two]
    Life is but a dream to me
    Gun shots sing to these
    Other guys but lullabys
    Don't mean a thing to me
    I'm not afraid of dying
    I'm afraid of not trying
    Everyday hit every wave
    Like I'm Hawaiian
    I don't surf the net
    No I never been on myspace
    Too busy letting my voice vibrate
    Carving out my space
    In this world of fly girls
    Cutthroats & diamond cut ropes I twirls
    Benzs round corners
    Where the sun don't shine
    I let the wheels give a glimpse
    Of hope of one's grind
    Some said hoe, how you get so fly
    I said from not being afraid to fall out the sky
    My physical's a shell
    So when I say farewell
    My soul will find an even
    Higher plane to dwell
    So fly you shall
    So have no fear, just know that
    Life is but a beach chair

    [Verse Three]
    Life is but a dream Can't mimic my life
    I'm the thinnest cut slice
    Intercut, the winner's cup
    With winters rough enough
    To interrupt life
    That's why I'm both
    The saint & the sinner
    Nice
    This is Jay everyday
    No compromise
    No compass comes with this life
    Just eyes
    So to map it out
    You must look inside
    Sure books can guide you
    But your heart defines you
    Chica
    Your corason is what brought us home
    In great shape like Heidi Klum
    Maricon, I am on
    Permanent Vaca
    Life is but a beach chair
    This song is like a Hallmark card
    Until you read each here
    So till she's here
    And she declared
    The heir
    I will be prepared
    A blueprint for you to print
    A map so you can back
    A guide for your eyes
    And so you won't lose scent
    I'll make a stink for you to think
    I ink these verses full of prose
    So you won't get copped out of 2 cent
    My last will and testament I leave my heir
    My share of Roc-Afella Records and a shiny new beach chair

    letra de Minority Report

    [Intro: News Excerpts]
    The damage here along the gulf coast is catastrophic.
    There's a frantic effort under way tonight to find
    Survivors. There are an uncounted number of the dead tonight...
    People are being forced to live like animals...
    We are desperate...
    No one says the federal government is doing a good job..
    And hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people...
    No water, I fought my country for years..
    We need help, we really need help..
    In Baghdad, they they drop, they air drop water, food to people.. Why can't they do that to their own people?
    The same idiots that can't get water into a major American city in less than three days are trying to
    Win a war...

    [Verse 1 - Jay-Z]
    People was poor before the hurricane came
    But the down pour poured is like when Mary J. Sang
    Every day it rains, so every day the pain
    But ignored them, and showed em the risk was to blame
    For life is a chain, cause and effected
    Niggas off the chain because they affected
    It's a dirty game so whatever is effective
    From weed to selling kane, gotta put that in effect
    Wouldn't you loot, if you didn't have the loot?
    Baby needed food and you stuck on the roof
    Helicopter swooped down just to get a scoop
    Through his telescopic lens but he didn't scoop you
    The next five days, no help ensued
    They called you a refugee because you seek refuge
    The commander-in-chief just flew by
    Did he stop? No, he had a couple seats
    Just proved jet blue he's not
    Jet flew by the spot
    What if he ran out of jet fuel and just dropped
    Hu, That woulda been something to watch
    Helicopters doing fly-bys to take a couple of shots
    Couple of portraits then ignored 'em
    He'd be just another bush surrounded by a couple orchids
    Poor kids just 'cause they were poor kids
    Left 'em on they porches same old story in New Orleans
    Silly rappers, because we got a couple Porches
    Mtv stopped by to film our fortresses
    We forget the unfortunate
    Sure I ponied up a mill, but I didn't give my time
    So in reality I didn't give a dime, or a damn
    I just put my monies in the hands of the same people that left my people stranded
    Nothin' but a bandit
    Left them folks abandoned
    Damn, that money that we gave was just a band-aid
    Can't say we better off than we was before
    In synopsis this is my minority report
    Can't say we better off than we was before
    In synopsis this is my minority report

    [Verse 2 - Ne-Yo]
    So many times I'm, covering my eyes
    Peeking through my fingers
    Tryin' to hide my, frustration at the way that we treat
    (Seems like we don't even care)
    Turn on the tv, seein' the pain
    Sayin' such a shame
    Then tryin' to go on with my life
    Of that, I too, am guilty
    (Seems like we don't even care)
    So we send a lil' money, tell 'em it's alright
    To be able to sleep at night
    You will pay that price
    While some of these folks' lost their whole life
    (Seems like we don't even care)
    Now it wasn't on the nightly news no more
    Suddenly it didn't matter to you no more
    In the end almost nothing changed
    What the hell, what was that for?
    (Seems like we don't even care)

    [Outro: News Excerpts]
    ... Buses are on the way to take those people from New Orleans to Houston
    ... They lyin'
    ... People are dying at the convention center
    ... Their government has failed them
    ... George Bush doesn't care about black people

    letra de Dig a Hole

    UH

    Go ahead, keep goin I got some nice dresses for you guys over there
    The Incomparable H.O.

    UH
    Yesss
    Tol chu to get cha money when you see a boss comin
    Thought shut was funny
    But what

    Came, conquered
    We g'on see now
    Dig a Hole
    Go 'head
    MotherFucker, burry yourself
    Dig a hole
    Dig a hole
    Dig a hole

    I'm still hear mon frerre
    You know the cost I bear
    Like, that's why they call you Hov, I'm like yeah
    Like air
    Little shots go through me, wont tear one tissue
    No tears no tissue, not an issue
    Don't cry for me I peep these niggahz from deep
    By the front row seat even if you don't speak
    Silent pardon, I hear you loud and clear
    You left your fingure print, you aint gotta be there
    I'm just waitin 'till you dig a hole big enough to put your whole body in
    Then I'm gon' body them
    It's nothing but a hobby to him
    Simple as serve and volley to him
    Niggahz like "Hov why don't you get at ol' boy"
    Why kill a puppet and leave Cheppetto alive (from pinocio)
    Why not wait till you get em all together, that's when you dig one big hole, one time

    Tol chu to get cha money when you see a boss comin
    Thought shit was funny
    But what
    What you see now?
    We gon' see clown
    Dig a hole
    Dig a hole
    Go 'head, burry yourself
    Dig a hole
    Dig a hole
    Go 'head

    Hows niggahs dissin me? I made it possible
    For niggahs to make history, How is the possible?
    Please explain this shit to me, How is it logical?
    Have we forgotten our history? lets open our bibles
    It's like the disciples dissing Jesus becoming his rivals
    Shunning the one thing that they owe their life to
    You let that man hype you to go against your idol
    Knowing good and god damn well this what I do
    Think I'm in the office I lost my grind
    That's how kids become orphans, YOU LOST YOUR MIND!?
    I keep my enemies close
    I give 'em enough rope
    They put themselves in the air
    I just kick away the chair

    UH
    UH
    Tol chu to get cha money when you see a boss comin
    Thought shit was funny
    But what
    We gon' see now
    UH HUH
    We gon' see clown
    Dig a hole
    Dig a hole
    Go 'head, burry yourself
    Dig a hole
    Dig a hole
    Go 'head, Burry yourself

    Hov gon' get you, I aint forget your little disrespect
    NO Hov, daddy gon' spank your for that shit you said
    It's hard to do, when you got nothin to prove
    Everbody know you better, you in a lose lose
    Even if you win, ultimately you lose
    Real niggahz like, "why Hov talkin to dude"
    He's sellin low too
    Only time you went plat
    My chain was around yout neck, that's an actual fact
    So I'm praying that it spills outside of the Booth
    That's when y'all niggahz outside of your truth
    Outside of your league, that's not what you do
    Niggahz throwing ROC signs outside of your coupe
    [Laughs]
    Dun look at Hove like he dun somethin wrong to em
    Cuz he's on to em
    He just took what belong to em
    Niggahz playing Checkers wid Chess playing Hov
    This game is over I dunno if y'all know
    You in a hole

    We gon' see now
    Uh Huh
    We gon' see clown
    Dig a hole
    Dig a hole

    letra de Trouble

    I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)
    I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)
    I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)
    I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)

    When the singer Rob calls the police on me y'all niggaz ran out and copped the CD
    See what I discovered is y'all snitch lovers I might speak, but I don't fuck with nobody
    See What Doug, Jimmy & L.A. don't know, these youngins crossed the line with Hov, I'm letting it blow
    Had the papers writing stories like: "didn't they know, this what happen when they made that rapper CEO"
    I know, it's just a matter of time before the steady hate start to overflow then the leavey breaks
    And my conscience go, you escape the rico, why throw everything away over ego?
    You paper chasing, they paper hating, billionaire Hov you on the pace to make it
    Fuck that exclamation comma quotations I love drama period

    I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)
    I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)
    I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)
    I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)

    Smelling like Petrone singing dirty rap songs, tip-toeing in the crib like 6 in the morn
    Every day it's the same I said in blueprint that I'd never change it's just a part of the game
    Respect me I'm a thug, I might cool out for a sec but expect me to bug it's in my blood
    But if my chick leave me she gonna leave me for something, she gone leave me cause Halie,
    She ain't gonna leave me for nothing, picture me getting up with something sleazy
    Something something so easy you could take out it's beat like nothing something
    Soon as you finish cutting you like leave me please, not me I need Angelina Joli's company,
    So I ain't gonna make a move unless I got I got a plan b, that'll happen the day i have a baby by free,
    Not to say that anything is wrong with free, just to say that ain't nothing wrong with me
    If my hands in the cookie jar, know one thing, ima take the cookie not leave my ring
    If my hands in the cookie jar know one thing ima take (laughs) y'all know what I mean

    I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)
    I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)
    I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)
    I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)

    Unh, you little niggaz ain't deep you dumb, you niggaz ain't gangsta you gum, I chew little niggaz
    Hock-too, spew little niggaz, I can only view little niggaz like little niggaz
    But in lieu of little niggaz trying to play that boy, I phew phew little niggaz with the latest toy
    Unlike you little nigga, I'm a grown ass man, big shoes to fill nigga, grown ass pants
    Prolly hustled with your pops, go ask your parents it's apparent you're staring at a legend
    Who, put a few little niggaz in the they place before trying to eat without saying they grace before
    Blasphemous bastard get your faith restored you're viewing your version of the lord god
    Mc little nigga, applaud, or forever burn in the fire that I spit at y'all I rebuke you little nigga
    The meek shall parish, I'll roof you little nigga, I'm a project terrorist, cute you little niggaz
    Think you in my class substitute little niggaz soon feel my wrath, I mute you little niggaz
    You a little nigga, I'll child abuse you little nigga, I'm a I'll nigga, now shoot you little niggaz
    Go somewhere and play, cause the day I loose to you little niggaz, no day

    I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)
    I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)
    I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)
    I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)

    Behind my shades
    Cause the fame is blinding my eyes
    My god
    I know how Ozzie Oz
    Once had felt when he was as high
    As I have got
    I have got
    To make this stop
    People often warn me
    That the fame ain't for the vain if heart
    It'll change those
    Who they had love for you
    Into strangers
    When your fame starts
    It's a chain reaction
    Locomotion like when the train departs
    Stranger
    Things have happened
    Rapping
    Stacking
    Platinum plaquin'
    Born in Brooklyn got a place in Manhattan
    Going back to Brooklyn
    To escape the madness
    When your friends is
    Chris and Gwyneth
    When your girl is more famous
    Then you then is
    Time to get all your windows tinted
    Keep your eyes squinted

    letra de Anything

    [Chorus Usher & Pharrell]

    Anything you want girl
    I'll bet you never seen it like this
    Just stay up on that floor girl
    And I'll grant all your wishes
    You know, you know, you know,
    You know, you know, you know,
    You hot
    Especially when you bounce, bounce
    I really like it when you bounce, bounce

    [Verse One]

    Ooh you so nasty
    Amateur pole dancing
    Come and get this cash from me
    They call me rain man
    She tried to rain dance
    Money so long it will drown you girl
    Buried under so much stacks
    They had to pull back about 50 thou
    Before they found ya girl
    I brought book bags of that bankroll
    I'm a D boy baby they know
    I'm an original D boy
    They go bankrupt if they try to keep up
    No roof in my car but I got mirrors on the ceiling
    I'll spread bread on the bed
    Ever had s** on a million
    Tell me

    [Chorus:]

    [Verse Two]

    Red light, tlc
    Through the left eye
    My pov
    On the eye chat
    How's that for computer love
    She rolled her eyes back
    I'm like ooh you're so nasty
    You turned my Maybach back seat
    Into the Hotel De'Paris
    I ain't gotta go
    Down to the go-go
    You got a private show that's like magic city
    I got stacks of fifties
    I got piles of hundreds
    That's role play
    Act like you want it
    You know you know you hot like fire
    You throw that body
    I'll throw them dollars
    But not them 1's and not no 5's
    Have you ever seen a Grover Cleveland?
    That's a thousand dollars

    [Chorus:]

    [Verse Three]

    Girl
    You know
    You hot like fire
    As I blow some dough
    You might retire
    Take it slow like Ne-Yo
    When shots was fired
    In the Matrix have patience
    Got lots of bottles
    Rock-a-bye baby jay-Z got notes like Mariah
    Got no 1's got no 5's
    My D notes are higher
    I'm a D boy, they decoys
    They money is lighter
    Like Nicole Richie
    Roll with me
    They on the diet baby

    letra de I Made It

    [Verse One]

    Momma I made it
    Ya'll know how I do when the Doc do it
    I fly thru it
    That's how I operated
    Momma I made it
    Ghetto like the grease when you getting your hair braided
    Sweeter than your sister Kool Aid is
    Hooray is the underdog
    Now my feet under desk
    It's the presidential favorite
    Can't believe I got away with my earlier stages
    Being on stages
    Having my way with
    Congratulations
    Ya baby boy's a made man
    I'm a hold the fam down at least 3 generations
    I'm talking when spaceships are around
    And ya great, great grands
    Reminiscing about foundation you gave 'em
    For repairing my relationship with my pops before he passed
    All I ask is you raise your glass for this celebration
    Toast to the most beautiful girl in the world
    My inspiration, thanks for your information

    [Chorus:]

    Momma I made it [2x]

    [Verse Two]

    I'm in bk where
    It ain't everyday that you make it out
    To be on top of yachts waving
    I remember you saving for the light bill
    Paid the rent with a light bill
    Now my crib dark as a basement
    And you'd lock up the when you wasn't home
    We was communicating like the money you made wasn't basic
    Our cable was basic
    No hbo, no wht
    Just Ralph Mcdaniels on the station
    I aggravated you for Atari and Coleco Vision
    Pinstripe Lee's when the first day day of school came
    I was ok with not having everything as long as Saturdays
    You had the Commodores playing
    The expression on your face was priceless
    It's still with me till this day
    Baby girl I won't erase it
    I go to my grave with the memory of the sacrifice you made
    You deserve a standing ovation
    Momma I made it

    [Chorus 3x]

    [Verse Three]

    Now your lil misfit makes sure every day is Christmas
    Write down your wish list
    Sixes, wrist is glistening
    You don't even like jewels
    But you can missing anywhere you like to
    Where the water's light tube
    Anything you order, sign it to your nice room
    Leave an extra tip Ma
    Be extra nice to 'em
    Ceo Carter Foundation
    Wow I know pop's looking down
    I know Colleek somewhere up in the clouds
    Like go get 'em Grandma, make me proud
    Didn't have a man in the house so you made one
    So I act like ya husband and I'm only ya son
    I told you one day I'll get you a home
    But I didn't know it would possibly be in Rome
    She told me don't wait on nobody

    Momma I made it....

    letra de 30 Something

    You ain't got enough stamps in your passport to fuck with young H-O
    International... Uugh...
    Show ya young boys how to do this thing

    The maturation of Jay-Z Z
    Check me out

    30's the new 20 nigga I'm so hot still
    Better broad better au-to-mo-bile
    Bet a yard, nah bet a hundred mill
    Then by the songs end I probably start another trend
    I know everything you wan do
    I did all that by the age of 21
    By 22 I had that brand new Ack Coupe
    I guess you can say that my legend just begun
    I'm, young enough to know the right car to buy yet grown enough not to put rims on it
    I got that six-duce with curtains so you can't see me and I didn't even have to put tints on it
    I don't got the bright watch I got the right watch
    I don't buy out the bar, I bought the night spot
    I got the right stock
    I... Got... Stockbrokers that's movin' it like white tops
    I know you like fuck, this is child abuse
    Call diapers, I might just be gettin' nicer
    Them young boys ain't ready for real
    30's the new 20 niggia I'm so hot still

    [Chorus:]
    I use to let my pants sag, not givin' a fuck
    Bae boy, now I'm all grown up
    I use to cruise the used car lot, put chrome on the truck
    Bae boy, now I'm all grown up
    I use to play the block like that (like that)
    I use to carry knots like that (like that)
    Now I got black cards, good credit and such
    Bae boy, cause I'm all grown up

    30's the new 20 nigga, I'm on fire still
    These young boys is like a fire drills (uugh)
    False alarms (uugh)
    Next don? (naah)
    Heen got- (on)
    To the next one (Young)
    I'm still here (yeah)
    Still here, like Mike gotta stop playin' with these children (yeah)
    I'm a bully with the bucks
    Don't let the patten leather shoes fool you young'n, I got the fully in the tux
    That was my past now I'm so grown up
    I don't got one gun army, got a slum army
    To hire a gun army, get you spun like laundry
    And I'll be somewhere under palm trees calmly
    Listen to R&B when we get the call he's
    No longer wit' us fire your babysitters
    You lil' fucks fall back for real
    30's the new 20 nigga, I'm so hot still

    [Chorus:]
    I use to let my pants sag, not givin' a fuck
    Bae boy, now I'm all grown up

    Bae boy, now I'm all grown up
    I use to wear my hoodie like that (like that)
    Pile deep in the hoopty like that (like that)
    Now I got black cards, good credit and such
    Bae boy, cause I'm all grown up

    Yall roll blunts, I smoke Cubans all day
    Yall young'ns chase, I'm Patron and it's straight

    Yall drink Dom but not Rose' (hey)
    Your chick shop in the mall
    My chick burnin' down Bergdorf's
    Comin' back with Birken Bags
    Your chick is like what type of purse is that?
    I'm from the era where niggas don't snitch
    You from the era where snitchin' is the shit
    I'm afraid of the future (why?)
    yall respect the one who got shot
    I respect the shooter
    Yall go to parties to ice grill
    I go to parties to party with nice girls
    You young boys gotta chill
    30's the new 20 nigga, I'm so hot still

    [Chorus:]
    I use to let my pants sag, not givin' a fuck
    Bae boy, now I'm all grown up

    Bae boy, now I'm all grown up

    letra de Lost One

    Uh, uh, uh, uh
    It's not a this song, it's just a real song
    Feel me?

    I heard motherfuckers saying they made Hov
    Made Hov say, "OK so, make another Hov"
    Niggaz wasn't playing they day role
    So we parted ways like Ben and J-Lo
    I shoulda been did it but I been in a daze though
    I put friends over business end of the day though
    But when friends, business interests as they go
    Ain't nothing left to say though
    I guess we forgot what we came fo'
    Shoulda stayed in food and beverage
    Too much flossing
    Too much Sam Rothstein
    I ain't a bitch but I gotta divorce them
    Hov have to get the shallow shit up off him
    And I ain't even want to be famous
    Niggaz is brainless to unnecessarily go through these changes
    And I ain't even know how it came to this
    Except that fame is
    The worst drug known to man
    It's stronger than, heroin
    When you could look in the mirror like, "There I am"
    And still not see, what you've become
    I know I'm guilty of it too but, not like them
    You lost one

    [Chorus with Marsha (Jay-Z)]
    Lose one, let go to get one
    Left one, lose some to win some (You lost one)
    Story of a champion, sorry I'm a champion
    You lost one

    I don't think it's meant to be, be
    But she loves her work more than she does me
    And honestly, at twenty-three
    I would probably love my work more than I did she
    So B, ain't we
    It's me, and her
    'Cause what she prefers over me, is work
    And that's, where we, differ
    So I have to give her
    Free, time, even if it hurts
    So breathe, mami, it's deserved
    You've been put on this earth to be
    All you can be, like the reserves
    And me? My time in the army, it's served
    So I have to allow she, her, time to serve
    The time's now for her
    In time she'll mature
    And maybe we, can be, we, again like we were
    Finally, my time's too short to share
    And to ask her now, it ain't fair
    So yeah, she lost one

    Lose one, let go to get one
    Left one, lose some to win some (Oh yeah, she lost one)
    Story of a champion, sorry I'm a champion
    You lost one

    My nephew died in the car I bought
    So I'm under the belief it's partly my fault
    Close my eyes and squeeze, try to block that thought
    Place any burden on me, but please, not that lord
    Time don't go back, it go forward
    Can't run from the pain, go towards it
    Some things can't be explained, what caused it?
    Such a beautiful soul, so pure, shit
    Gonna see you again, I'm sure of it
    'til that time, little man I'm nauseous
    Your girlfriend's pregnant, the lord's gift
    Almost lost my faith, that restored it
    It's like having your life restarted
    Can't wait for your child's life, to be a part of it
    So now I'm child-like, waiting for a gift
    To return, when I lost you, I lost it

    Lose one, let go to get one
    Left one, lose some to win some (Colleek, I lost one)
    Sorry I'm a champion, Colleek, you're a champion
    You lost one

    Jordan or James, makes no difference
    Boo I'm balling the same
    I am the Mike Jordan of recording
    You might want to fallback from recording
    But you right it's not important
    So it forced him to go for the hype
    For being brave and may applaud him
    Well misery I will assure them
    Oh baby just ignore them
    Truth or dare mami listen and learn
    I got a drop I just took off the top, it's your turn

    [Chorus 2X]

    [Verse 2]
    H.O.V.A., gold bottles of that ace of spade
    Why even fool with these other guys, they all stingy
    All these dudes know how to say is gimme
    Gimme some head, gimme some brain
    Gimme your number, gimme your name
    But if I get one night baby girl I swear
    I'll make you tell these other dudes gimme got you here
    I'll take you shopping, take long trips
    I'll take the cork off, you can take sips
    I'll take you there, take my time
    Take you clothes off, I'll take off mine
    Ma, show me what you got
    Hovie in the spot tried to told you I was hot
    Tell these other dudes it's a wrap
    Get the fuck out the throne you clone, the King's back!
    Y'all got less than 2 months to get y'all thing together
    Good luck!

    Cause ya boy Hov is back, you know them broads coming out
    Got 'em dancing on the bankhead, like they from Bankhead
    Fuck Cristal, so they ask me what we drinking
    I thought dudes remark was rude okay
    So I moved on to Dom, Krug Rosй
    And it's much bigger issues in the world, I know
    But I first had to take care of the world I know
    I'm from the bottom, so I still feel em from the bottom
    Underdog before my cape, still couldn't stop him

    letra de Oh My God

    [Verse One]

    Pops sped off
    Left Mom with a bundle of
    Joy ya boy
    Smack dab in the jungle
    Took tunnel vision
    But he would soon become a mogul
    But first he brought that crack back like a yo-yo
    Don't play with my yo-yo
    Loco niggas in the hood
    First niggas hating on me
    It's all good
    I'm buying things like my shit don't stink
    Gucci links and Gucci gooses
    Watching too many movies
    Bulletproof this
    Had some nerve
    Like pulling tooths
    When you sixteen, coming through roofless
    Yeah ya boy ruthless
    Like Ice Cube was
    Turn the whole city on
    I'm the new plug
    So if this is your first time hearing this
    You are about to experience someone so cold
    A journey seldom seen
    The American dream
    From the bottom to the top of the globe
    They call me hov

    [Chorus:]

    They gunning for me
    Wanna see me fall
    You know my story
    I been through it all
    Nights I felt like dying
    But I ain't crying
    What didn't kill me
    Made me strong as iron
    I am
    I am
    Oh my God, hov

    [Verse Two]

    Now I'm knee-deep in the concrete
    Like the streets made of quicksand beyond deep
    I got a chemical romance, two left feet
    So now I dance with the devil, please god
    Save me from the black parade, release me
    My life like Grand Theft Auto psp
    I'm in the Volvo puffing on the la la
    Ducking from the po-po
    Every time I drive by
    Say hi to the bad guy
    All my momma friends is like hmm hmm hmm
    Would you just look at him
    So sorry dear momma for your embarrassment
    Give me a couple years I pray I never sin
    Got all these rival dealers trying to do me in
    And all these little rappers don't know how prepared for them I am. I am.
    I'm feeling like the world's against me Lord
    Call me crazy but I love them odds

    [Chorus:]

    [Verse Three]

    Now these baby ballers toy rappers
    Calling out my name to bring the boy backwards
    Shooting air balls at the basket
    What you call money I paid more in taxes
    I got crowned King down in Africa
    Down in Nigeria do you have any idea
    Sold out shows in Seoul Korea
    Jo-berg, Dublin, Tanzania
    Lunch with Mandela, dinner with Cavalli
    Still got time to give water out to everybody
    Everybody fall back
    Y'all rapping I'm reenacting

    Monday nights when the half ends
    When you ten years in holla back then

    letra de The Prelude

    [Intro: snippets of Eddie in "Super Fly"]
    You know, you've got this.. Fantasy in your head about
    Getting outta the life and, setting the corporate world on it's 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 banging, nigga your hooks did it
    Your lyrics didn't and your gangster look did it
    So I would write it if y'all could get it
    Being 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 getting head, jobs, we call that intimate
    Back when rappers wouldn't dare play lyrical roulette
    With a automatic weapon I was rapping 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 rapping 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
