Say, is the realist shit I ever wrote or I said Wake up it everyday and take it with me to bed Hurting my and hanging over my head 'Bout the realest nigga Texas streets ever bred
C L Butler better known as Chad or C The homeboy that I ever had Now when we met, we wasn't on the same page pettiness understandings that got cleared up with age
Two young boys who was ready to Put P A on the map and maybe a little cash down with Big Tyme, put down a few songs Everybody co-signed that we could do no wrong
hit the streets with a big ass bang Them gangsta ass rhymes with that country ass Dropped, "Tell Me Something Good" took off and live Shit, next you know we was signing to Jive
Dropped, "Too Hard to Swallow" "A Pocket of Stones" Put the remix on "Menace" we had it going on Got, love in the streets and on the air But the homey putting us out, wasn't playing too
Had to ourself, bring in a new team But sometimes the other ain't always what it seems We dropped "Super Tight" a full of killer flows But then we got caught up the drugs and the hoes
We didn't realize what was happening on the And new management was back room deals Hiding money and concealing the price He had us doing all the work but was the biggest slice
Took a while to catch on, to what homey was But by the time we did, all the was in ruins kept all the receipts so we couldn't file taxes The next thing you know, IRS hitting us with
Pimp you owe figures, Bun you owe six Better get paper together, get this shit fixed Remixed the management team and it ourself out the GM, almost got put on the shelf
Fuck it, "Ridin' Dirty" instant classic in the South Reclaimed the southern title, shut everybody's Got some clout in the game, boys us the greatest But meanwhile me and Pimp is still haters
The old calling and say he fina' sue And put a padlock on the everything we to do Put a call out to the Prince, nigga still hating We got heat for the streets, and we can't the people waiting
He made a call to and folks, telling the man You gotta cut UGK slack understand Young got the plan, Bun got the drawl Rap-A-Lot had our back and we just waiting on
We got the big bosses on the same So me and young went hit 'em from center stage Next thing you know we got this call the N.Y. It's Jay-Z saying y'all getting fly
He doing "Volume 3" and got a from Timb And could some trill niggaz rock it with him Shit big Bun was all for it, but Pimp wasn't But "Big Pimpin" hit 'em
Number one on every station you turn on MTV and BET we getting our on Grammy nominated can't that we made it And we got a call from Jive that us all faded
And it stated, that due to the of the track We here at Jive records, would like to piggy Get another beat from Timb, then get a verse Jay Let shoot the video and we'll be on the way
it sounded okay, but me I had to ask If we don't do Big Pimpin 2, would you still put us on A song like that might take a to the top But my true fan base, might think a nigga
They got mad and put niggaz on For damn near a till the buzz got cold So we said 'em and went back to the basics to find ways to get the fuck up out the matrix
We put "Dirty Money" together and it was But that's around the time that Pimp caught two He got probation, said, "Fuck you hoes" We the album, got ready to do a couple shows
And he violated, one month before we dropped And shit just got put on hold or fucking Now 30 done, we back to the nitty-gritty got released, big showdown in Chocolate City
Niggaz with masks on, vests and all It's Christmas 2000 and 1, we was all that on the block, nobody could budge And he violated, now we right back before the judge
They him a nuisance, put my dog behind a fence It was January 28th, he ain't home since a nigga through a loop and caught me in the crosses Standing cold, CEO, now I'm the fucking
Had the on my back, got to drinking and drugging Had to make a choice, get back to or thugging So I walked into my bedroom, got down on my Put my hands together and I prayed please
Let me get past this bridge over water that's And get back up on my grind on the He said son don't worry 'cause not really hard as it seem And I can turn nightmares back into dreams
You got to stay true to yourself and succeed Then away from the devil and get closer to me And every that night man I promise I been on it that killer flow to anybody who want it Pimp the pen like never before, I'm 'em G
Not to I got the world screaming free Pimp C So as you make parole and they open the doors You gotta worry about nothing, the world is yours Ain't no mo' my nigga and no mo' stripe I kept it real to me it's UGK for life
