Swizz Beatz - Mr. Carter lyrics

[Verse 1: Benny Boy] Hey Mr. Carter, I know you don't know me But ease up on the d**, I don't want you to O.D If not for me, do it for your daughter please I don't want your last album to be The Carter 3 I'm already waiting on The Carter 4 now These fake rappers trying to bite off of your style Cause they hungry as hell they can't eat what you eat They can't feed off of rappers or feed off of beats 864 verses and hooks In 2007 had the whole world shook You ain't even in your prime, and you're only 25? I ain't even going to lie, best rapper alive When you first started out, your name was Lil' Wayne Then Wheezy F. Baby is what you became You can change your name a hundred times in the game But if I ever see you now, I'ma say [Verse 2: Benny Boy] Hey Mr. Carter, my real name is Abel You showed rappers they could own their own record label And if you ever struggled, You can't knock the hustle He took the whole label from Russell And no disrespect Mr. Simmons He made money off the mic, just like Robin Givens They checked out the blueprints, when he was coming out He lived a hard knock life, they had a reasonable doubt Def Jam rode behind him and that was that outcome Volume 1 in my life, was the black album Cause that year, B.I.G. was stiff in a Hearst Cause the good die young, that's the gift and the curse And there's so many other little things he's done So throw up the dynasty til' kingdom come And with all due respect, I ain't gonna call you Jay Or H.O.V.A., I'ma say [Verse 3: Benny Boy] Hey Mr. Carter, you know who I am I've been down for a minute, I'm your number 1 fan I've played your music at parties to make the people jam I've heard your music reached the U.S., all the way to France Well I'll be damned, I told my friends you flow And their friend's friend's friend's all labeled you dope They said you spit sick, and your rhymes just cold You need to see a doc, probably got strep throat Just know, I listen every time you speaking Cause you don't rap about all your fly j**els gleaming You either have fun, or you speak true meanings I know you don't drink, I'll never see you leaning And no you don't smoke but your joints get blazed I'm anticipating when you destroy this game I'm pumped up without steroids to take And I'm proud to say I represent the Boy Brigade (Oh yeah I forgot to tell you who it was, ago bring it back) Pardon me if it got a little hazy I got caught up in the moment and it got a little crazy Since the vision blurred up, let me be a little clearer That whole third verse, I was rapping in the mirror I ain't saying that I'm great, I'm just saying that it takes Time, I'm just asking you to wait Cause once that long awaited day, has finally taken place Instead of Mr. Kelkay, just say
