Say, is the realist shit 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 nigga these 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 up with age
Two young who was ready to mash Put P A on the map and maybe make a cash Jumped down with Big Tyme, put down a few Everybody co-signed saying that we do no wrong
Then hit the streets with a big ass Them gangsta ass with 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 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 ourself, bring in a new team But sometimes the other ain't always what it seems We dropped "Super Tight" a album full of flows But we got caught up with the drugs and the hoes
We didn't realize what was on the real And new management was cutting back room 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 was doing But by the time we did, all the 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 together, get this shit fixed Remixed the management team and it ourself Cussed out the GM, almost got put on the
Fuck it, dropped "Ridin' Dirty" classic in the South Reclaimed the southern title, shut everybody's 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 keep the waiting
He made a to [Incomprehensible] and folks, telling the man You gotta cut UGK some slack Pimp got the plan, Bun got the drawl Rap-A-Lot had our back and we just on Jive
We got the big bosses on the same So me and young Pimp went hit 'em from center Next thing you know we got this from the N.Y. It's Jay-Z saying y'all getting fly
He "Volume 3" and got a track from Timb And wondered could some niggaz rock it with him Shit big Bun was all for it, but Pimp wasn't But "Big Pimpin" hit 'em
Number one song on every you turn on MTV and BET we getting our on Grammy can't believe that we made it And we got a call Jive that left us all faded
And it stated, that due to the of the track We here at Jive records, would like to back Get another beat from Timb, then get a from Jay Let Hype the video and we'll be on the way
Shit it okay, but me I had to ask If we don't do Big Pimpin 2, would you put us on blast A song like that take a nigga to the top But my true fan base, might think a flop
got mad and put niggaz on hold For damn near a year till the got cold So we said fuck 'em and went 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 to do a couple shows
And then he violated, one before we dropped And just got put on hold or fucking stopped Now 30 days done, we to the nitty-gritty Album got released, big showdown in City
with masks on, vests and all black It's Christmas 2000 and 1, we was all that Strongest on the block, nobody 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 a nigga through a loop and caught me in the crosses Standing cold, CEO, now I'm the fucking
Had the devil on my back, got to and drugging Had to make a choice, get to rapping 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 up on my grind on the double He said son don't worry 'cause it's not really as it seem And I can turn your nightmares back into
You just got to stay true to and succeed 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 never before, I'm breaking 'em G
Not to I got the world screaming free Pimp C So soon as you make and they open the doors You gotta worry about nothing, the world is yours no mo' struggles my nigga and no mo' stripe I kept it because to me it's UGK for life
