Say, this is the realist I ever wrote or I said Wake up it everyday and take it with me to bed Hurting my heart and hanging over my 'Bout the realest these Texas streets ever bred
C L better known as Chad or Pimp C The closest homeboy I ever had Now we first met, we wasn't on the same page From pettiness understandings that got cleared up age
Two boys who was ready to mash Put P A on the map and maybe a little cash Jumped down with Big Tyme, put a few songs Everybody saying that we could do no wrong
hit the streets with a big ass bang Them gangsta ass with that country ass twang Dropped, "Tell Me Good" took off and went live Shit, next you know 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, in the streets and played 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 what it seems We dropped "Super Tight" a album full of killer But then we got up with the drugs and the hoes
We didn't realize was happening on the real And new management was cutting room deals Hiding different money and the price He had us doing all the work but was the biggest slice
Took a while to on, to what homey was doing But by the we did, all the paperwork was in ruins Nigga kept all the receipts so we file taxes The next thing you know, IRS hitting us axes
Pimp you owe figures, Bun you owe six Better get your together, get this shit fixed Remixed the management team and tried it Cussed out the GM, got put on the shelf
it, dropped "Ridin' Dirty" instant 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 ducking
The old calling and say he fina' sue And put a padlock on the we trying to do Put a call out to the Prince, this still hating We got heat for the streets, and we can't the people waiting
He a call to [Incomprehensible] and folks, telling the man You cut UGK some slack 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 from center Next you know we got this call from the N.Y. Jay-Z saying y'all niggaz getting fly
He doing "Volume 3" and got a track from And wondered could some trill niggaz it with him Shit big Bun was all for it, but Pimp wasn't But "Big Pimpin" hit 'em
Number one song on every station you on MTV and BET we getting our on nominated can't believe that we made it And we got a call from Jive that left us all
And it stated, that due to the of the track We here at records, would like to piggy back Get another beat from Timb, then get a from Jay Let Hype 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, you still put us on blast A song like that might a nigga to the top But my fan base, might think a nigga flop
They got mad and put niggaz on For near a year till the buzz got cold So we fuck 'em and went back to the basics to find ways to get the fuck up out the matrix
We put "Dirty Money" and it was aces But that's around the that Pimp caught two cases He got probation, said, "Fuck you hoes" We finish the album, got ready to do a shows
And then he violated, one month before we And shit just got put on hold or fucking Now 30 done, we back to the nitty-gritty Album got released, big showdown in Chocolate
Niggaz with on, vests and all black Christmas 2000 and 1, bitch we was all that Strongest on the block, nobody could And then he violated, now we back before the judge
They him a nuisance, put my dog behind a fence It was January 28th, he ain't home 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 make a choice, get back to rapping or So I into my bedroom, got down on my knees Put my together and I prayed Lord please
Let me get this bridge over water that's trouble And get up on my grind on the double He said son don't 'cause it's not really hard as it seem And I can turn your nightmares back dreams
You just got to stay true to yourself and Then away from the devil and get closer to me And every since that night man I I been on it Giving killer 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 ain't worry about nothing, the world is yours no mo' struggles my nigga and no mo' stripe I kept it real because to me UGK for life
