Yo, yo he got his stones from Greece
In his mouth he had like thirty plus karats
Big ratchets, smoke cigars like a Bogart classic
Told niggaz if he dies he want a glass casket
Parents died when he was five years old
Made his way inside the US with Columbian Gold
A fake name and a passport
Benetton luggage, one sister, pretty thing, light skin
Niggaz will body over her like fuck it
With a scar by her left eye
Her brother Alex was extremely close, he sold coats and minks
Had trays put in toilets and sinks
Loved to roller skate, ninety nine did time up in Rahway
Came home blown, the thorough kings and soldiers
Never gave a fuck about that MC beef in Queens
Alex, he was a rich nigga
He had close to ten bodies under his belt
His man did the last one and got murdered himself
Took him a while to get his head together
Alex one day out in LA, made a call in New York
Told his man Oc, God it's goin' down, fly the whole team in for support
Remember that Ray shit that Jamie Foxx played? That was my shit
I never got paid, they got rich off a stolen script
In ninety eight I seen Charles on the Cali strip
Showed him the copyrights, his life in the real flick
In Braille, he read it in no time
Hit me with his math, said I'll give you some more lines
Real talk, stand up dude
Said how you like Jamie Foxx to replay you? He said yea that's cool
But under one circumstance, you think he can bow my walk, flip my talk and my hands?
I said sure why not, he can imitate anything trust me this young boy hot
Shook his hand then I bounced in the limo
Grabbed my cell, bit my cigar and then rolled down the window
Contacted Stony Brook and Roberts
Told them we got it in ten ?, yo Ray Ray signed it
Now we can move on and shoot this live shit
With mad options, Paramount and DreamWorks we shop it
Or Mandalay and New Line cop it
I go and get ten mil' and blow it on the independent market
But anyway down in PF Chains, I had a meeting with this rich investor
Said they'll throw twenty million on the kid's film only if he chose the cast
He was drunk, he was talkin' real fast
So I test his mouth, laid back then I put him on blast
Where exactly we gon' get this cash?
I gotta ill Gotti Gigante connect
Wise guys that kill Bulotti, catching bodies, earnin' respect
The waiter came in a dropped off the shrimp fried rice he ordered
I said thanks as he poured my water
Then out came the veggie rolls, sesame chicken and mint tea
Rice wine had me wanting to pee
Said excuse me I'll be right back, pardon me
Grabbed his glass and he nodded to me
Skated off to take a piss, the shit felt like a nut
Got back the dude vanished, briefcase, script, and all
Ask the waiter where he go, the motherfucker spoke Spanish...

Are you serious? This IS real hip-hop, with a concept. You must've got this confused with Soulja Boy or someone, because Ghostface is one out of a handful of rappers that continue to bring nowadays.

[DrBombay1559]

Anyways, I had some questions about the song, maybe you guys could help.

Here are my questions, what do the following references mean? Hardy boys shit, he got his stones from greece, what is the glass casket reference, what's special about one? Does Alex's sister have any signification? I didn't really understand why Ghost mentioned her. What does Ghost mean when he said Alex got 10 million dollars and then blew it on the indie market? Why did Alex mention the Gotti Gigante connection.

[DrBombay1559]

Alex asks the waiter where the man ran off to, but he doesn't even understand him, so the investor gets off free and presumably gets credit for the movie along with the money from the successful film.

It's a great song that potentially could have a sequel that wold involve Alex actually attempting to take out the investor.

[DrBombay1559]

Alex realized the investor was drunk and wanted to make sure that the project could actually materialize, so he wanted more details about the money. Meanwhile, the food comes out and Alex has to use the bathroom really badly. Alex excuses himself, but when he comes back from the bathroom the investor is gone with the script that Alex wrote.

[DrBombay1559]

Alex wrote the script for Ray, the movie about Ray Charles in which Jamie Foxx plays Ray. Alex meets Ray Charles who he respects and pitches the movie to him. Ray really likes it and wants to be a part of it.

Alex tries to raise the money to make the movie but he has trouble. He eventually meets up a very wealthy investor at a nice Chinese restaurant. The investor says he's willing to invest 20 million dollars into the movie as long as he has influence in how the film turns out.
