Generate meaning
1
You know, you've got this fantasy in your head about
2
Gettin' outta the life and settin' the corporate world on its ear
3
What the fuck you gonna do except hustle?
4
Besides pimpin', you really ain't got the stomach for that
5
The game's fucked up
6
Nigga's beats is bangin', nigga, your hooks did it
7
Your lyrics did and your gangster look did it
8
So I would write it if y'all could get it
9
Bein' intricate'll get you wood
10
Critic on the Internet, they like, ‽You should spit itâ€
11
I'm like, "You should buy it, nigga, that's good business"
12
Forget this rap shit, I need a new hustle
13
A little bit of everything, the new improved Russell
14
I say that reluctantly 'cause I do struggle
15
As you see, I can't leave, so I do love you
16
But I'm just a hustler disguised as a rapper
17
In fact you can't fit this hustle inside of a wrapper
18
Back when crack was what these pills are, I was a real star
19
Complete with real cars, no video ones
20
You can come and set up a camera, let the video run
21
And my real life, complete with real ice
22
VVS boulders, oh, they're visibly set
23
Head and shoulders, my invisible neck
24
You see Hova wasn't digital yet
25
Befo' Steve Jobs made the iPod
26
Was gettin' head jobs, we call that intimate
27
Back when rappers wouldn't dare play lyrical roulette
28
With a automatic weapon, I was reppin' with a tec
29
Fresh like Mannie be, chain like anti-freeze
30
Shoe box full of cash, dealer man, hand me ki's
31
Pantries full of Arm & Hammer
32
Don't take Nancy Drew to see what it do? I'm a damn G
33
Just sent a million dollars through a handsfree
34
That's big money talk, can you answer me?
35
Before the answer was a 3
36
I was down in Georgetown with a Hoya chick, lawyer chick
37
Sure he's rich now 'cause he saw the shit, all this shit
38
That's why they call him Hov 'cause he came before all this shit
39
Bought a 6, quarter seven, skipped on them quarter eights
40
Bought a 9 for non-stop glock work all the time
41
Guess who's back?
42
Since this is a new era, got a fresh new hat
43
Ten year veteran, I've been set
44
I've been through with this bullshit game but I never can
45
I used to think rappin' at 38 was ill
46
But last year alone I grossed 38 mill'
47
I know I ain't quite 38 but still
48
The flow so special, got a 38 feel
49
The real is back
