Say, this is the realist shit I wrote or I said Wake up with it and take it with me to bed my heart and hanging over my head 'Bout the realest nigga Texas streets ever bred
C L Butler better known as or Pimp C The homeboy that I ever had Now we first met, we wasn't on the same page From pettiness 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 down with Big Tyme, put down a few Everybody co-signed saying that we could do no
Then hit the streets with a big ass Them gangsta ass rhymes with that ass twang Dropped, "Tell Me Something Good" took off and went 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, love in the and played 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 then we got caught up with the drugs and the
We didn't realize what was happening on the And new management was cutting back deals different money and concealing the price He had us all the work but was keeping the biggest slice
Took a to catch on, to what 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 you know, IRS hitting us with axes
Pimp you owe figures, Bun you owe six Better get paper together, get this shit fixed Remixed the management team and it ourself out the GM, almost got put on the shelf
Fuck it, dropped "Ridin' Dirty" instant in the South Reclaimed the southern title, shut everybody's Got some clout in the game, calling us the greatest But meanwhile me and Pimp is still 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 heat for the streets, and we keep the people waiting
He a call to [Incomprehensible] and folks, telling the man You gotta cut UGK some understand Young Pimp got the plan, Bun got the Rap-A-Lot had our and we just waiting on Jive
We got the big bosses on the page So me and young Pimp went hit 'em from center 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 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 station you turn on MTV and BET we our burn on Grammy nominated can't believe that we 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 beat from Timb, then get a verse from Jay Let shoot 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, you still put us on blast A like that might take a nigga to the top But my true fan base, might think a flop
got mad and put niggaz on hold For near a year till the buzz got cold So we said fuck 'em and went to the basics Trying to find ways to get the fuck up out the
We put "Dirty Money" and it was aces 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 month we dropped And shit just got put on hold or stopped Now 30 days done, we to the nitty-gritty Album got released, big showdown in Chocolate
Niggaz with masks on, vests and all Christmas 2000 and 1, bitch we was all that Strongest on the block, nobody could And then he violated, now we right 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 Standing cold, CEO, now I'm the boss
Had the devil on my back, got to drinking and Had to make a choice, get to rapping or thugging So I walked into my bedroom, got on my knees Put my hands together and I prayed Lord
Let me get past this bridge water that's trouble And get back up on my grind on the He said son don't worry 'cause it's not really hard as it And I can turn your nightmares back dreams
You got to stay true to yourself and succeed Then push from the devil and get closer to me And since that night man I promise I been on it Giving that flow to anybody who want it the pen like never before, I'm breaking 'em G
Not to I got the world screaming free Pimp C So soon as you make parole and open the doors You ain't gotta worry about nothing, the world is Ain't no mo' struggles my and no mo' stripe I kept it real because to me it's UGK for
