The lyrics of the song "Intro" by Geto Boys, featuring J. Prince, address the success and challenges faced by the group in the music industry. J. Prince starts by acknowledging the skeptics and people who are jealous of their accomplishments, such as the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) and IRS (Internal Revenue Service). He mentions that growing up, he was aware of the corruption and unfairness within the system. J. Prince then explains how he refused to be controlled by the "ungodly system," referring to poverty and the welfare system that the ghetto is often associated with. He worked hard and pulled people off the streets, eventually building a multi-million-dollar record company. He emphasizes that he achieved success by doing things legally and hiring professionals like lawyers and accountants. However, one problem remains for J. Prince and the Geto Boys, which is their race. He states that those who are against them believe that it is impossible for Black individuals from the ghetto to run a successful business without doing something wrong. They are angry that he and his brother, possibly referencing Scarface, escaped the traps set for them in the ghetto and succeeded. He believes that there is a conspiracy against ghetto boys worldwide, aimed at keeping them down. Despite this, they refuse to be stopped, and they ask for support from their audience. J. Prince reassures that their only "dope" or product they sell is music in the form of CDs and cassettes. In the last few lines, J. Prince acknowledges the members of the Geto Boys, including Bido, Scarface, Big Mike, and Bushwick, and mentions that the song is a representation of the raw and authentic music they create. The reference to "5th Ward Texas" suggests that the music is influenced by their experiences and surroundings in this neighborhood.
