Dramatic Entrance Lyrics
[Intro]
Yo.. yo..
A man is condemned or exalted by his words..
Exalt me.. yo.. this what y'all niggas wanted..
[Verse]
The streets was waitin'
Here I am, a beast awakened
In a Beamer Station Wagon with massive gleamin' bracelets
After years of bein' patient
Sheddin' tears and beatin' cases
I'm ready for whatever yo (Mega!)
No more to say
Words can't explain like Rich Porter's grave
This is a ghetto monument, my confidence is more apparent
The mind like a 9 automatic
Graceful yet capable of causin' damage
I'm too ill, lyrically I feel I'm too real
Dough or die, either way I do deals
I'm gifted, my only fear is death or prison
What other lyricist conveys such sincereness?
I been through the ghetto life and drug concealing
Fearless, and betrayal with trust is given
Now I deal with a few, I don't fuck with niggas
It's not arrogance, it's I'm-not-havin' it
Niggas act like they was sendin' me packages
When I was upstate gainin' weight and lackin' friends
Think about it, I don't talk about it, I be about it
I get money and I still be in the Projects
Fuck rap, nigga like me is eatin' regardless
Even during the drought I had a ki in the closet
Connects was tellin' me I ain't need a deposit
They were seein' the progress on my neck, smashin' niggas
I was pitchin', you was catchin' feelings
Like D's when they seen they couldn't catch my niggas
41st side, what, we had cracks in the building
The 4-5, Infra red MAC and the Sterling
It was all for the cause except my dogs got careless
I suppose those who ain't like us feared us
The life we chose inspired me to write these poems
I'm takin' mine like the Rikers phone
The Realness...
My niggas waitin' for this.. pump this on the corner..
Pump this in ya ride.. pump this in ya jail cell..
The essence of a hustler my nigga.. what.. Mega

Cormega: “The feel of it, the melody and the energy just felt perfect for an intro. I just wanted to vent, but I also wanted to express my story. I wanted to come from a street perspective. This is my first album, so the intro had to be flawless, it had to grab people’s attention. I remember taking it real serious and I remember being real happy with the lyrics after it was done.
“I had a chip on my shoulder from the Def Jam situation and for the industry, from people that were in power and trying to shut doors on me. It was like fuck that, I’m coming. Everything y’all ever did to try and stop me… fuck it, I’m here. I didn’t know what was going to happen with the album. I just knew I had to get some shit off my chest.”
