Verse 1
(E minor) "You know you got this
fantasy in your head
About getting out of the life
And setting the corporate
world on its ear
What the fuck you gonna do
Except hustle (D major) (E minor)
Be (A minor) sides (D major) pimping (E minor)
You (D major) really ain't got the stom (E minor)
ach for that" (A minor)
(D major) The game's
Verse 2
fucked up
Niggas beat (E minor) s is banging
Nigga ya (D major) hooks did it
Ya (E minor) lyrics didn't
Ya gang (D major) sta look did it
So (E minor) I would write it if
y'all (D major) could get it
Being (E minor) intricate'll get (D major) ya wood critics
On (E minor) the internet
They like you (D major) should spit it, I'm
like (E minor) you should buy it
Nigga that's (D major) good business
(E minor) Forget this rap (D major) shit I need
a new hustle (E minor)
A little bit of everything,
(D major) a new improved Rus (E minor) sell
I say that reluctantly (D major) 'cause
I do struggle (E minor)
As you see I can (D major) 't leave
so I do love you (E minor)
But I'm just (D major) a hustler
disguised as a rapper
(E minor) In fact you can't fit (D major) this hustle
inside of a wrapper (E minor)
Back (D major) when crack was what
these (E minor) pills are
I was (D major) a real star complete (E minor) with real cars
No (D major) video ones,
you can and come set (E minor) up a camera
Let the (D major) video run
In my real (E minor) life complete with
real (D major) ice (E minor)
VVS boulders all in (D major) visibly set
Head (E minor) an d shoulders my
(D major) in visible neck
You see (E minor) Hova wasn't (D major) digital yet
Before (E minor) Steve Jobs made (D major) the iPod
Was getting (E minor) head jobs,
we call that (D major) intimate
Back (E minor) when rappers wouldn't
dare play lyric (D major) al roulette
With (E minor) an automatic weapon
I was (D major) rapping with a Tek
(E minor) Fresh like Manny be (D major) chain
like (E minor) antifreeze
Shoe box full of cash
(D major) Dealer man hand me key (E minor) s
Pantries full of Arm (D major) & Hammer
Don't take Nancy (E minor)
Drew to see what it (D major) do
I'ma damn g (E minor)
Just sent a million (D major) dollars
through a hands free (E minor)
That's big money (D major) talk can
you answer (E minor) me?
Before the (D major) Answer was a three
(E minor) I was down in Georgetown with (D major) a Hoya chick,
loyal chick
(E minor) Sure he's rich now 'cause he saw this shit,
all this shit
That's why they call him Hov cause
he (D major) came be (E minor) fore (D major) all this shit
(E minor) Bought a six,
quarter seven (D major) skipped on them quarter 8s
Bought a (E minor) nine for nonstop (D major)
glockwork all the time (E minor)

Verse 3
who's back
Since (E minor) this is a New Era
got a (D major) fresh new hat
(E minor) Ten year veteran
(D major) I been said I been (E minor) through
with this bullshit (D major) game
But I never can
(E minor) I used to think rapping at
(D major) thirty eight was ill
(E minor) When last year alone I (D major) grossed
about thirty eight mill
(E minor) I know I ain't quite
thirty (D major) eight but still
(E minor) The flow so Special got (D major) a .38 feel
The real (E minor) is back (D major)
Outro 1
(E minor) (A minor)
