Say, this is the realist shit I ever wrote or I Wake up with it everyday and take it me to bed Hurting my heart and hanging my head 'Bout the realest nigga these Texas streets ever
C L Butler better as Chad or Pimp C The closest homeboy I ever had Now we first 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 maybe make a cash Jumped with Big Tyme, put down a few songs Everybody saying that we could do no wrong
Then hit the streets with a big ass Them gangsta ass rhymes with that ass twang Dropped, "Tell Me Good" took off and went live Shit, next thing you we was signing to Jive
Dropped, "Too Hard to Swallow" "A Full of Stones" Put the remix on "Menace" we had it going on Got, love in the streets and on the air But the homey us out, wasn't playing too fair
Had to separate ourself, bring in a new But sometimes the other side ain't always what it We dropped "Super Tight" a album full of flows But we got caught up with the drugs and the hoes
We realize what was happening on the real And new management was cutting room deals different money and concealing the price He had us doing all the work but was keeping the slice
Took a while to catch on, to homey was doing But by the time we did, all the paperwork was in Nigga kept all the receipts so we file taxes The next thing you know, IRS hitting us with
Pimp you owe figures, Bun you owe six Better get your paper together, get shit fixed Remixed the management team and tried it Cussed out the GM, almost got put on the
Fuck it, dropped "Ridin' Dirty" classic in the South Reclaimed the title, shut everybody's mouth Got some in the game, boys calling us the greatest But meanwhile me and Pimp is still haters
The old calling and say he fina' sue And put a on the everything we trying to do Put a call out to the Prince, this nigga still 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 some slack Young Pimp got the plan, Bun got the had our back and we just waiting on Jive
We got the big bosses on the same So me and young Pimp went hit 'em from stage Next thing you we got this call from the N.Y. It's Jay-Z y'all niggaz getting fly
He doing "Volume 3" and got a from Timb 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 station you turn on MTV and BET we getting our on Grammy nominated can't believe that we it And we got a call from that left us all faded
And it stated, that due to the success of the We here at Jive records, would to piggy back Get another beat from Timb, get a verse from Jay Let Hype shoot the video and be on the way
Shit it okay, but me I had to ask If we don't do Big 2, would you still put us on blast A song like that take a nigga to the top But my true fan base, think a nigga flop
They got mad and put on hold For damn near a year the buzz got cold So we fuck 'em and went back to the basics Trying to find ways to get the up out the matrix
We put "Dirty Money" together and it was But that's around the time that Pimp two cases He got probation, said, "Fuck you hoes" We finish the album, got ready to do a couple
And then he violated, one month before we And shit just got put on or fucking stopped Now 30 days done, we back to the Album got released, big in Chocolate City
Niggaz with masks on, and all black It's Christmas 2000 and 1, we was all that on the block, nobody could budge And then he violated, now we right back before the
calling him a nuisance, put my dog behind a fence It was 28th, he ain't been home since Threw a nigga through a and caught me in the crosses Standing cold, CEO, now I'm the fucking
Had the devil on my back, got to drinking and Had to a choice, get back to rapping or thugging So I walked into my bedroom, got down on my Put my hands together and I prayed Lord
Let me get past this bridge over water 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 your nightmares into dreams
You got to stay true to yourself and succeed Then push away from the and get closer to me And every since that night man I I been on it Giving that flow to anybody who want it Pimp the pen like before, I'm breaking 'em G
Not to mention I got the screaming free Pimp C So soon as you make and they open the doors You gotta worry about nothing, the world is yours Ain't no mo' struggles my nigga and no mo' I kept it real to me it's UGK for life
