Ryan Leslie Interview: From Harvard To the Billboard Charts
Recording artist and chart-topping music producer Ryan Leslie talks to the Wall Street Journal's Lee Hawkins about his journey from a 15-year-old Harvard freshman who scored a perfect 1600 score on the SAT to become a major record producer and now one of the top independent recording artists in the music world. Leslie, who has toured across Europe and Asia recently, breaks down his business strategy for Hawkins and talks about his transition into rap music and his forthcoming album, "Black Mozart." Leslie and Hawkins also discuss stigma of a Harvard education, the music festival circuit and urban artists such as Usher, Trey Songz, Miguel and Frank Ocean.

LYRICS
SWISS FRANCS (R. Leslie)
VERSE 1
When I was young, I had a dream of being President
Went to Harvard - the best money I ever spent
Graduated young - now they're saying I'm a mogul
People ask me what my address is I tell them: Global
New headquarters: down Wall Street
Went from being broke in Harlem, now we all eat
Twin Benz trucks - call that double parked
Plus every record I make is a f*ckin' work of art
I'm gettin' more money since I went independent
And they never seen me coming - had my windows tinted
The crown prince: pride of my community
And when I fly I want diplomatic immunity
My passport is stamped out - I need some pages
When I die they gon' act out my life on movie stages
Got a hired gun - motto is "Protect the Chief"
Keep these haters from scheming on this Patek Philippe
HOOK
Bills foreign, Swiss Francs
Before I die I need my money in a Swiss Bank
I can see right through these haters: fish tanks
Plus they frowning at my watch like my wrist stinks
Bills foreign, Swiss Francs
Before I die, stack my money in a Swiss Bank
I can see right through these haters: fish tanks
Plus they frowning at my watch
VERSE 2
The campaign is global - the dollar ain't what it used to be
Switch a franc for a dollar, you get like 1.3
It's too many haters, it's only one of me
And they mad 'cause I'm everything they wanna be
30,000 feet - I'm outta reach
Lifestyle is extravagant, word to Robin Leach
On the road, homie, I ain't seen my bed in weeks
What I need a bed for? Money never sleeps!
So I don't either, I need it cash
Security got a pistol it's underneath the dash
And he ain't scared to use it. I don't need to worry
You ain't got my deposit, homie, you need to hurry!
Call Shiv, he got my schedule it's full of dates
My life is like a recurring birthday, it's full of cake
One spot at the top that mean it's you or me
Supermodel ex's? yeah, I got 'bout 2 or 3
HOOK
VAMP
I can't hear a word you're sayin' now (4x)
Cuz if you ain't talkin' bout that money
I can't hear a word you're sayin' now
Said if you ain't talkin' bout that money
I can't hear a word you're sayin' now

LYRICS
"CARNIVAL OF VENICE"
Les
I'm tryna see the best of things
Lace my girl, 5 carats in her ring
Get my moms a crib, my pops a new whip
When it's all said and done - stack a mil for my kids
Work hard, play hard, stack dough, live well
Get away
Stay on an island in my own hotel
Got my little sister proud - like, check him out
She happy I put a pool in her house - she love to swim
I'm known for my taste in ladies
Plus a Murcielago and a pair of twin grey Mercedes
Staties leave me alone when I cruise the expressway
Can't touch me the community loves me
I'm on the news shaking hands
Had to give back
Salvation Army get a hundred grand
And - I own a company of which I'm the chair
I'm the boss, El Jefe premiere
And I'm knowin' they stare
When they see me at the Rolex store
On the low - the rose gold cost a hundred and 4
That's a house on the arm, couple cars on the wrist
Yea - success served cold is a remarkable dish
When they see me, yea - they might stand around for a photo
Watch for a king, got a crown for a logo
Owe it all to God, so the greatest, I thank
The whole team gettin' green, celebrate at the Bank
Yea- that volcano flow slow burn thru your stereo
You know what the business is, you know the scenario
Black Mozart flow, hated like the Taliban
With a black fur coat made of astrakhan
Thick in the club, man, you know I'ma turn up
Money here to get, homie, you know I'ma earn up
Ace for the entourage, bring the Methuselah
Envy make haters turn green like arugula
Still make a fool of you - 'Pagne (pain) in a gold bottle
Stunt hard these lames need a role model
Shorty with the pretty face that's my plus one
Feature presentation - word to Suss One
Gold on the wrist - no time for the gimmicks
Living a self-made "Sweet Dream" Annie Lennox
Class in session, hope you all in attendance
Puttin' the mask on for the Carnival of Venice

Ryan Leslie - "Ups & Downs" (Les Is More Tour Version)
Real rap.

Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ryanleslie
"I only have the resources that my fans give me. The people that are actually at the concerts - whatever they pay - that's the biggest show I can do. So if they really want to see me in the stadium, with all the production and the screens and the lights and everything I have in my mind, I need a lot more people. I have these people, but we need to grow more, so I need all of these people to tell all their friends: 'man, I went to the Ryan Leslie concert...it was awesome!' "
UPS & DOWNS (R. Leslie)
VERSE 1
I wish I could change the minds that decided
That I shouldn't be knighted as a modern day Prince
It only makes sense, playing every instrument
All the money I spent - doing shows with the band
Everybody was saying that I
Should have kept the show money put it in my pocket
But I wanted to show you the way I really rock it
That real music, that real emotion
Them 80's synths - that Billy Ocean
There'll be sad songs, maybe they make you cry
Maybe they give you a reason why you should date a guy
Or maybe a reason why you should break it off
Or maybe the moment when you should take it off
Girl, girl - I'll do it, I'll do it
That kissing, that French,
I'm fluent, I'm fluent
I got your mind open on that music, that music
Lovin' the way you movin' when we doin' what we doin' now!
HOOK
Up, down, round and round
I can work your body thru all your ups & downs
I'll show you how
We can make it last thru all our ups & downs
Yea - you don't even know
I'ma make your body feel all those ups & downs
Good, good, baby
'Cause ain't no way to get around ups & downs
VERSE 2
Late nights, no sleep
If I ain't on my hustle then I won't eat
Dreamin' big, just wanna live good
Do it for the homies in my old hood
Music banging thru the windows they ain't call the cops
Showed up at the Virgin when my album dropped
I do it for my Sister, for my Mom and Pop
I used to be homeless behind a barber shop
I wrote some sad songs, maybe they made you cry
Maybe they gave you a reason why you should date a guy
Or maybe the reason why you should break it off
Or maybe the moment when you should take it off
Girl, girl - I'll do it, I'll do it
That kissing, that French,
I'm fluent, I'm fluent
If I don't take you with me then I'm ruined, I'm ruined
Lovin' the way you movin' when we doin' what we doin' right!
HOOK
Up, down, round and round
I can work your body thru all your ups & downs
I'll show you how
We can make it last thru all our ups & downs
Yea - you don't even know
I'ma make your body feel all those ups & downs
Good, good, baby
'Cause ain't no way to get around ups & downs
BRIDGE
And I swear that I'ma hold you down
(I'll do it thru the ups & downs)
And when your world is spinning round and round
(I'll do it thru the ups & downs)
And when you feel like you're about to drown
(I'll do it thru the ups & downs)
I'll do it thru the ups & downs, downs

LYRICS
"MAYBACHS & DIAMONDS"
CHORUS
And so I give her
What she wants, what she needs
Why
'Cause her love is worth more than
Maybachs and diamonds, yeah
VERSE 1
You got them big dreams in your eyes
You're thinkin' Hollywood
If I could be your Woody Allen, then I probably would
Write a nice script, make you my lead girl
Put your talent on display for the free world
Liz Taylor, you're lookin' for that right man
I'm black all your ex's they've been white men
But don't that make it more excitin'?
If that's a crime I'm ready for the indictment
Yeah, I think it's way more sexy
When you speak your mind, you check me
And you're color blind you just accept me
Plus you're a smart girl, you know where them checks be
Right here, plus you got your own too
Since I met you, you've been standing on your own two
And so there's nothing that I won't do
Maybach, chrome shoes, every time I come through
CHORUS
VERSE2
We used to argue, I would call you a f*ckin' bitch
But we made it through the storm now we're f*ckin' rich
You've been a friend to me
You kept it real when others would just pretend to be
I couldn't see it then, I would get mad when you criticized
Told you that you were buggin', you over analyzed
I know I said I didn't care we was breakin' up
Still flew half way around the world to make it up
And all the first-class seats were sold out
But it was Summer where you were and for me was cold out
So, like a champion after defeat
You watched me break down and cry in the passenger seat
You put your arm around me, told me it would be just fine
I'd be yours and you would be just mine
And you wanted the LOVE bracelet, I said you get what you pay for
The black card - we're buying the Cartier store

LYRICS:
5 MINUTE FRESHEN UP (R. Leslie)
INTRO
Aw man
She hit you with that 5 minutes?
You know what that mean, right?
That mean you wasn't fresh enough
Let me show you how to get on my level
Follow me
HOOK
She want that 5 minute freshen up
You tried to holla, homie, but you wasn't fresh enough
That's how I know I'm a professional
Six 0's on the left side of a decimal
(2x)
VERSE 1
Now look at me
I'm in that gold lamborghini drop
I'm rollin' these haters'll never see me stop
I'm dealin' in Euros - I call that "kiwi guap"
Exotic bills for my exotic wheels
Exotic meals - I call that opulence
I'm talkin' Wall Street money you just an occupant
I'm in that 1 percent
Over a hundred grand?
I don't trust a bank either - it's in a rubber band
F-D-I-C
Somebody bring the rosé to the V-I-P
Somebody tell the DJ play some B-I-G
Cuz that's what I'm feelin' like
We gon' act the fool tonight
We gon' mess around and end up dipping' in the pool tonight
So who go stop us?
The A-Team, B.A. Baracus
She tweetin' a picture to put on Lockerz
So turn around and shake it just like a pair of maracas
HOOK
VERSE 2
Oh you a baller, homie - where your 0's at?
Where your hoes at, where your designer clothes at?
(Show me where they at!)
Where your foreign cars?
You say your time is money, homie - where's your Audemars?
30 grand for a show - that keep me independent
She into money, she ain't into you, she into spendin'
That mean she rollin' wit whoever winnin'
On vacation in winter we rockin' summer linen
In that perfect weather, I'm talking 83
Why they treat me like a boss is 'cause I paid to be
And I made the beat, I'm talkin' A to Z
The fresh prince of New York, she my Jada P
And when we movin' they snapping' pictures like Jay & B
We on the internet hoppin' up out that AMG
And it feel good - that's how I know I made it
Overpaid at the same time as I'm underrated
HOOK
VERSE 3
I'm livin' good (good, good, good)
But don't get it confused
As a titan, I had to get used to bein' sued
Don't believe everything you read in the f*ckin' news
'Cause these haters'll really prefer to see you lose
They cheerin' but really prefer to see you boo'd
That's why I don't give no comment in these interviews
I'm good - I just handle my business
Credit score is amazin', homie, God as my witness
Yeah - thou shall not test
You a make-believe monster, homie, you Loch Ness
And you missed the damn train, man, you got left
You ain't even in the game screamin' you got next
PLEASE - you got lawyers, homie?
I got lawyers too
I'm on a yacht - I let my lawyers do what lawyers do
And on top of my lawyers, I got a loyal crew
Who roll with hammers and cameras that be recordin' you!
HOOK
A one and six 0's says I'm a pro
- -
A short description: the "5 Minute Freshen Up" is a polite excuse for a girl to dip out of a conversation with someone who "isn't fresh enough." Example - 'I'ma be right back - just need 5 minutes to freshen up" ... and then she never comes back.

DRESS YOU TO UNDRESS YOU (R. Leslie)
INTRO
I only dress you to undress you babe
Let me strip you of your labels
Then I wanna lay you down
Said I dress you
To undress you
VERSE 1
She's so original, no father to her style
I'ma put in the work and be the father to her smile tho
So photogenic when she flash them pearly whites
I do it for the money, man, she do it for the lights (lights, lights, lights)
Chrome on the heel, Audemars on the wrist
Yea that's my Audemars but she keep me on time
Got a 9 can't be late reservation to the Ritz
I'm in my Louis cape on my Andre Leon grind, that's Vogue, homie
Straight out the pages of the mag
She won't remove them heels man she wear 'em tho it hurts
She tryna see Chanel double CC's on the bag
I'm tryna see what's under that Herve Leger skirt
And so I pull it up - she says she's comin' down
She ridin' shotty in my 72 Ferrari Dino, yea she's my Bonnie
She got that fashion on her mind
Pretend it's February, let me be your Valentino
(I dress you to undress you)
CHORUS
Cause I only dress you to undress you (take them clothes off)
Girl, I only dress you to undress you (take them clothes off)
I just wanna strip all your labels from you (t-t-t-take them clothes off)
Cause girl, I only dress you to undress you

It's time for chapter two - we headed to Milan
We in that charter plane she got nothin' but panties on
Another glass of chardonnay, now that should do the trick
Damn, look at my life such a Helmut Newton flick!
A picture perfect print, Balenciaga jeans
Multi-colored bills switch it up from countin' green
Man, I'm such a fiend - this is psychedelic loot
I'm countin' 20 stacks in this Pignatelli suit
My 'Diamond Girl' - she loves the way the precious stones adorn
And accessorize the fashionable clothes that's worn
And when she moves she's an aphrodisiac
And I complete the circle 'cause I'm everything she lacks
And when it starts to rain, that's the time I'm goin' in
I take her zig-zaggin' underneath Missoni throws
She's soaking wet, I rip the fabric from her skin
And let it fall - 'cause after all it's only clothes
(I dress you to undress you)
CHORUS
VAMP
And as she applies the red to her lip
What's she do it for? She do it for the lights (lights, lights, lights...)
She got that new Hermes bag on her hip
What's she do it for? She do it for the lights (lights, lights, lights...)
In that Tom Ford dress as she's dancin'
What's she do it for? She do it for the lights (lights, lights, lights...)
What you talkin for? You don't even really stand a chance, man
What's she do it for? She do it for the lights (lights, lights, lights...)
CHORUS

Ryan Leslie Making "Gibberish"
Songwriters sometimes sing unintelligible syllables to lay down a guide melody during the creative process. Here's an amusing example of this with my voice running through a very strict pitch correction processor.
