Say, this is the realist I ever wrote or I said Wake up with it and take it with me to bed Hurting my heart and hanging my head 'Bout the nigga these Texas streets ever bred
C L Butler known as Chad or Pimp C The closest homeboy I ever had Now when we first met, we wasn't on the page From pettiness understandings got cleared up with age
Two young boys who was ready to Put P A on the map and maybe make a little Jumped down with Big Tyme, put down a few co-signed saying that we could do no wrong
Then hit the streets with a big ass gangsta ass rhymes with that country ass twang Dropped, "Tell Me Something Good" off and went live Shit, next thing you know we was signing to
Dropped, "Too Hard to Swallow" "A Pocket of Stones" Put the remix on "Menace" we had it going on Got, in the streets and played on the air But the homey putting us out, wasn't playing too
Had to separate ourself, in a new team But sometimes the other side ain't always what it We dropped "Super Tight" a full of killer flows But we got caught up with the drugs and the hoes
We didn't what was happening on the real And new management was cutting room deals Hiding different and concealing the price He had us all the work but was keeping the biggest slice
Took a while to on, to what homey was doing But by the time we did, all the paperwork was in kept all the receipts so we couldn't file taxes The next you know, IRS hitting us with axes
you owe seven figures, Bun you owe six Better get your paper together, get this fixed Remixed the management team and tried it Cussed out the GM, almost got put on the
Fuck it, dropped "Ridin' Dirty" instant classic in the Reclaimed the southern title, shut everybody's Got some clout in the game, calling us the greatest But meanwhile me and Pimp is still ducking
The old manager and say he fina' sue And put a padlock on the everything we to do Put a call out to the Prince, this nigga still We got heat for the streets, and we keep the people waiting
He made a to [Incomprehensible] and folks, telling the man You gotta cut UGK some slack Young Pimp got the plan, Bun got the Rap-A-Lot had our back and we just on Jive
We got the big on the same page So me and young Pimp went hit 'em from center thing you know we got this call from the N.Y. It's Jay-Z saying y'all niggaz fly
He doing "Volume 3" and got a track from And wondered some trill niggaz rock it with him Shit big Bun was all for it, but wasn't sure But "Big Pimpin" hit 'em
Number one song on every station you on MTV and BET we getting our on Grammy nominated can't believe that we it And we got a call from Jive left us all faded
And it stated, that due to the success of the We here at Jive records, would like to piggy Get beat from Timb, then get a verse from Jay Let Hype shoot the video and be on the way
it sounded okay, but me I had to ask If we do Big Pimpin 2, would you still put us on blast A song like that take a nigga to the top But my fan base, might think a nigga flop
They got mad and put on hold For damn near a year the buzz got cold So we said fuck 'em and went to the basics Trying to ways to get the fuck up out the matrix
We put "Dirty Money" together and it was But that's around the time Pimp caught two cases He got probation, said, "Fuck you hoes" We finish the album, got ready to do a shows
And he violated, one month before we dropped And just got put on hold or fucking stopped Now 30 days done, we back to the Album got released, big showdown in City
Niggaz with masks on, vests and all It's Christmas and 1, bitch we was all that Strongest on the block, nobody budge And he violated, now we right back before the judge
They calling him a nuisance, put my dog a fence It was 28th, he ain't been home since Threw a through a loop and caught me in the crosses Standing cold, CEO, now I'm the boss
Had the devil on my back, got to and drugging Had to make a choice, get back to rapping or So I walked into my bedroom, got on my knees Put my together and I prayed Lord please
Let me get this bridge over water that's trouble And get back up on my on the double He said son worry 'cause it's not really hard as it seem And I can turn nightmares back into dreams
You just got to true to yourself and succeed Then push away from the devil and get to me And every since that night man I promise I on it Giving 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 ain't gotta worry about nothing, the is yours Ain't no mo' struggles my nigga and no mo' I kept it because to me it's UGK for life
