Say, this is the realist I ever wrote or I said Wake up with it everyday and it with me to bed my heart and hanging over my head 'Bout the realest these 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 From understandings that got cleared up with age
Two young boys who was to mash Put P A on the map and make a little cash 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 Them gangsta ass rhymes that country ass twang Dropped, "Tell Me Something Good" off and went live Shit, next thing you we was signing to Jive
Dropped, "Too Hard to Swallow" "A Full of Stones" Put the on "Menace" shit 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 separate ourself, in a new team But sometimes the other side ain't always it seems We dropped "Super Tight" a album full of flows But then we got caught up with the drugs and the
We didn't what was happening on the real And new management was cutting back room Hiding different money and concealing the He had us doing all the work but was keeping the slice
Took a while to catch on, to what homey was But by the we did, all the paperwork was in ruins kept all the receipts so we couldn't file taxes The thing you know, IRS hitting us with axes
you owe seven figures, Bun you owe six Better get your paper together, get this shit Remixed the team and tried it ourself Cussed out the GM, got put on the shelf
Fuck it, dropped "Ridin' Dirty" classic in the South Reclaimed the southern title, everybody's mouth Got some clout in the game, calling us the greatest But meanwhile me and is still ducking haters
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 for the streets, and we can't keep the people waiting
He made a call to [Incomprehensible] and folks, the man You gotta cut UGK some understand Pimp got the plan, Bun got the drawl Rap-A-Lot had our back and we waiting on Jive
We got the big on the same page So me and young Pimp went hit 'em center stage Next you know we got this call from the N.Y. It's saying y'all niggaz getting fly
He doing "Volume 3" and got a track from And wondered could some niggaz rock it with him big Bun was all for it, but Pimp 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 we made it And we got a from Jive that left us all faded
And it stated, due to the success of the track We here at Jive records, would like to piggy Get another from Timb, then get a verse from 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 take a nigga to the top But my true fan base, might think a nigga
They got mad and put niggaz on For damn a year till the buzz got cold So we fuck 'em and went back to the basics Trying to ways to get the fuck up out the matrix
We put "Dirty Money" and it was aces But that's the time that Pimp caught two cases He got probation, said, "Fuck you hoes" We finish the album, got to do a couple shows
And then he violated, one month before we And shit just got put on hold or fucking Now 30 days done, we back to the Album got released, big showdown in Chocolate
with masks on, vests and all black It's Christmas 2000 and 1, we was all that Strongest on the block, could budge And he violated, now we right back before the judge
They calling him a nuisance, put my dog a fence It was January 28th, he ain't been since Threw a through a loop and caught me in the crosses cold, CEO, now I'm the fucking boss
Had the on my back, got to drinking and drugging Had to a choice, get back to rapping or thugging So I walked into my bedroom, got on my knees Put my hands together and I Lord please
Let me get past this bridge over water that's And get back up on my on the double He said son don't worry 'cause not really hard as it seem And I can turn your nightmares into dreams
You just got to stay true to yourself and push away from the devil and get closer to me And every since that 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 mention I got the world free Pimp C So soon as you make parole and they the doors You ain't gotta worry about nothing, the is yours Ain't no mo' struggles my and no mo' stripe I it real because to me it's UGK for life
