[Jay-Z]
(Verse 1)
you know why they call a project a project ,
because its a project
an experiment,
we're in it, only as objects
an object for us to explore our prospects side-step cops on the way to the top (Yes!)
as kids we wuld day dream sittin on our steps
pointin at cars like yea thats our 6 husstla's prophits made our eyes stretch So on some Dr. Spock shit we started our TREK
some of us made it most of us digressed in the name of those who aint made it
my progress is your success
please live through me
see im the eyes for em-er-y
keep him alive
(This is a collect call from...)
so everytime i press five
all he wanna hear is his boy talk fly
up in the feds but still holdin his head
so when he hits the streets
we gon eat through this bread
(Chorus)
[Jay-Z]
Ride with me International HOV
