The whole American Gangster Cd is the tale of Shawn Corey not the American Gangster film but there are similar allusions. The album depicts the growth of this 'Gangster' throughout the whole album in sequential order. This is his beginning or his 'American Dreamin' with his friend/partner which later turns into reality.
"This is the shit you dream about- With the homie steamin' out- Back, back, backing them Beemer's out"
or
"And its not like we're professionals-Movin' the decimals-Know where to cop? Nah-Got a connect? No"
Their dream of getting rich seems to happen in
"And head to the heights where big coke is processed
You gotta convince 'em that you not from the Precinct"
then to
"He's gon' give you consignment
You're now in a game where only time can tell"
when the song end, this chapter ends. The next "chapter" or song on the album is 'Hello Brooklyn'
