Lélio
Lélio, ou le Retour à la Vie (English: Lélio, or the Return to Life) Op. 14b, is a work incorporating music and spoken text by the French composer Hector Berlioz, intended as a sequel to his Symphonie fantastique. It is written for a narrator, solo voices, chorus, and an orchestra including pianos.
It was composed in Italy in 1831, often using previously written music, and first performed at the Conservatoire de Paris on 9 December 1832 as Le retour à la vie, mélologue en six parties. It was revised for a performance in Weimar at the request of Franz Liszt in 1855 and published the following year. According to David Cairns, Lélio had the most "immediate impact" of all Berlioz's works, yet the fashionable Romantic features and the mixture of declamation and music which appealed to early audiences have served to date the piece and it is rarely revived or recorded nowadays.
Overview
Luigi Riccoboni
Luigi Riccoboni (1 April 1676 – 6 December 1753) was an Italian actor and writer on theatre, who was director of the Comédie-Italienne in Paris from 1716 to 1731. In France he was known as Louis Riccoboni and his stage name was Lélio.
Early life and career
Born Luigi Andrea Riccoboni in Modena, he was the son of Antonio Riccoboni, who played Pantalone in London in 1678–1679. In 1699 Luigi Riccoboni established a commedia dell'arte troupe in the French style in northern Italy, since in his view the Italian tradition had become overly decadent. He also translated some of the plays of Molière and Racine into Italian.
Paris
In the spring of 1716 the French Regent, Philippe d'Orléans, asked his cousin, the Duke of Parma, to send him a troupe of Italian actors to revive the Comédie-Italienne in Paris, which had been disbanded nearly twenty years previous. To avoid some of the difficulties of the earlier troupe, he specified that its leader should be a man of good character and manners. Riccoboni was chosen, and in a few weeks he assembled a group of ten actors, all of whom were devout Christians. The troupe was meant to perform in the Hôtel de Bourgogne, which had been vacant since 1697, but that theatre needed renovation, so they initially played at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal on days when the Opéra was not performing. Even after moving to the Bourgogne, the troupe continued to perform at the Palais-Royal on Mondays and Saturdays until the death of the Regent in 1723.

So you don't gotta trick, your do'
If you real you gon hit playa, take it from a pro
[Mr. 3-2]
Now playas, still don't sweat these hoes
Spitting conversation, while I ride deuce-4's
You know's how I do, I get paid off a trick
Changed my name from Mr. 3-2, to Pimp Chris
I ain't ya suga daddy, like Willie Fu-Fu
2003, girls got on they choosing shoes
Keep my pockets paid, my Harley got sprayed
They breaking they toes, to keep daddy living laid
Playa made, from the bottom to the top
Making boys drop out, 'fore them panties drop
I hopped in this pimping, cause girls love a playa
Do anything I say, and come back with that thay-ar
With no problem, or harassment at all
That's why when I'm in the mall, we all gon ball
Gucci for them, and a mink for me
Baby playas get chose, it ain't hard to see
[Hook x2]
[Lil' O]
I don't grab they arms, I don't pinch they ass
These hoes know, when they see a young nigga with cash
Cleaner than a motherfucker, like I just took a bath
So when these hoes walk by, how the fuck can they pass
A nigga like me up, she know that it's real
Plus I'm from Big Ballin' Texas, she know that I'm trill
And she heard that I can fuck, she wanna know how it feel
I'ma take her to me bedroom, and show her my skills
Cause I'm a playa that get chose, it's my call of duty
And I wage war with cot, and I brawl with booty
And this message goes out to, all my cuties
That I done beat the pussy up, and put all them movies
Had the time of your life, girl your nigga's a G
And you always gon call me, cause your nigga's a flea
And everytime you go to sleep, boo you dreaming bout me
Cause deep down I'm everything, you want your nigga to be
A gangsta a gentleman, plus I talk with class
But I'll still bend you over, and walts that ass
Pull your perm acting out, once I'm talking trash
Like baby who pussy this, pop-pop that ass
[Hook x2]
[H.A.W.K.]
Everything's, still lovely

Niggaz mad, cause they hoes wanna fuck me
But these boys, these boys they bet not touch me if you ugly
Boys wondering why, they hoes be fiending
Cause they done licked on my nuts, and swallowed my semen
Hoes be dreaming, of having sex with me
And these jealous ass niggaz, got plex with me
See girls get full of that, extasy
And they all wanna fuck me, O and 3
Since I'm the H-A-W-K, I'm doing things my way

And your niggaz wanna be like me, someday
