Jay-z - Rap Game/Crack Game lyrics

Uhh...

Uhh, yeah

Won't stop niggaz

"Somehow the rap game remind me of the crack game" --> Nas

Jigga! Feel me

People, told ya motherfuckers, told ya

"See that rap shit is really just like sellin smoke" --> OutKast

Uhh, Roc-a-Fella

Geyeah

We treat this rap shit just like, handlin weight

What they want we give it to em, what they abandon we take

Hit a rapper with consignment, let him know it's at stake

Put his ass in the studio, let him cook up a cake

When it's hot, get on my money spot in every state

Like the wiz in Camelot, the mom-and-pop's is the gate

But first we scope shit, advertise in every area

Let the fiends know hey, we got some dope shit

Gon' need a middle man, so we look to radio

Let em test the product, give em a promo show

Just a breeze, not enough to catch a real vibe

Then we drop a maxi single and charge em two for five

Ain't tryin to, kill em at first just, buildin clientele

So when the album drops the first weeks it's on sale

But when demand grows it's time to expand yo

You don't want no garbage papi it's ten grand per blow, fo' sho'

"Somehow the rap game reminds me of the crack game" --> Nas

"See that rap shit is really just like sellin smoke" --> OutKast

(repeat 3X)

Ge-ge-geyeah

I got that uncut raw to make a fiend's body jerk

Got your whole block now, pumpin my work

My CD's is like keys for you Willie's who

like to floss my cassette tapes in sixty-two's

And my singles like gems, you know the treys

Get you high for a while, but the, high don't stay

You need another fix, you better cop these last two bricks

Cause when this shit flip, I'ma get on some other shit

Never pitchin for a label, Jigga's the hook-up

You know my shit is fish scale, y'all niggaz is cook up

Just blow up, scream my name from Brooklyn to Da-kota

They know my shit stretch without the baking soda

Went from an eighth, to a quarter, to a half a key

Priority's work wasn't right so I switched factories

Now I'm the new nigga, who figured I'd get the game locked

Now watch how the prices of your cocaine drop, ha ha

"Somehow the rap game reminds me of the crack game" --> Nas

"See that rap shit is really just like sellin smoke" --> OutKast

(repeat 4X)
