The Introduction Songtext
von Hype

Allow me to first introduce myself my name is Hype
H-Y to the P-E
I started rhyming at 12 doing beats at 16
I moved from Georgia and peach trees to the DMV at 23
Still tryna chase big dreams, get rich schemes
I need green for these sixteens
My shit mean
Bars hit you hard make your shit lean
I′m more Malcolm X than Martin Luther but been King
Speaking in the future tense, I easily got more bars than Sing Sing
I like the pressure, so press me harder
It just made a Diamond, like in college when pledging Kappa
I step to rappers, of any stature
Fear no man, lyrical manslaughter, barbarian, Conan
I go ham
My beats rock (Roc) like it's Hov throwing up both hands Riding down the street bumping Marvin and old slow jams
Chopping up samples like old Ye in his heyday
And still spitting better than artists above my pay grade
I pay homage but trust me we still in competition
Grind like I ain′t got a pot to piss in, I'm on a mission
Can't share your hustle with everyone, they′ll extort your vision
I keep my circle tight, everybody else at a distance
Let em watch from the sidelines, I shine
My energy proves y′all MCs squares, nigga I'm Einstein
My mind is cut from a different cloth, the divine kind
Sixteen bars to bury you cats, you die within nine lines
Damn!
Ain′t no playing nice, I'm in rare form
Still stretching towards the goal, you can′t hold me down, dawg I'm Air Jordan
This just the intro, so y′all getting a fair warning
After this I'm waking the beast for years he was kept dormant

I was gonna rip his heart out, I'm the best ever. I′m the most brutal and vicious and most ruthless champion there′s ever been, there's no one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No, I′m Alexander-he's no Alexander. I′m the best ever. There's never been anybody as ruthless. I′m Sonny Liston, I'm Jack Dempsey, there's no one like-I′m from their cloth. There′s no one that can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious


This label with no money was tryna hold me in sheisty deals
Can′t fight the real, plus my greatest strength is my writing skills
Y'all wanna take it to court? Fine I can beat the cases
Your shit don′t carry weight, it was based off affiliations
I put in work and got co-signs nigga ask about me
Securing deals on my own time nigga ask about me
Fumbled the bag now you niggas going out sad without me
150K what you asking can't get a bag without me
Y′all tried to burn me but I rose from the ash like a Phoenix
And still I rise after they crossed me, I'm feeling like Jesus
Don't try to break me you would have to compete with my demons
You can′t outsmart me, why you tryna compete with my genius
Welcome greatness like Paris you get an eye full (Eiffel)
You speak the truth and niggas still spin your words like a vinyl
Tell em mark my arrival, this now a game of survival
The shit I spit is sick like it′s Covid, we going viral
Don't get me sparked my shit is actually gas
I′m very potent, you smell the fumes when I'm quoted, you might need you a mask
Intoxicating you get left on yo ass
Ahead of my time, the future getting left in my past

That′s how you start a fucking album
Yea, Talk To Me Nice, it's the fucking intro
And there′s more in store, so stay right there
Yea, it's Hype
