The Story歌词
Say, this is the realist ****
I ever wrote or
I saidWake up with it everyday and take it with me to bed
Hurting my heart and hanging over my head'
Bout the realest ***** these
Texas streets ever bred
C L Butler better known as
Chad or Pimp
CThe closest homeboy that
I ever had
Now when we first met, we wasn't on the same page
From pettiness understandings that got cleared up with age
Two young boys who was ready to mash
Put P A on the map and maybe make a little cash
Jumped down with
Big Tyme, put down a few songs
Everybody co-signed saying that we could do no wrong
Then hit the streets with a big ass bang
Them gangsta ass rhymes with that country ass twang
Dropped, "Tell Me Something Good" took off and went live
****, next thing you know we was signing to
JiveDropped, "Too Hard to Swallow" "A Pocket Full of Stones"
Put the remix on "Menace" **** we had it going on
Got, love in the streets and played on the air
But the homey putting us out, wasn't playing too fair
Had to separate ourself, bring in a new team
But sometimes the other side ain't always what it seems
We dropped "Super Tight" a album full of killer flows
But then we got caught up with the drugs and the hoes
We didn't realize what was happening on the real
And new management was cutting back room deals
Hiding different money and concealing the price
He had us doing all the work but was keeping the biggest slice
Took a while to catch on, to what homey was doing
But by the time we did, all the paperwork was in ruins
***** kept all the receipts so we couldn't file taxes
The next thing you know,
IRS hitting us with axes
Pimp you owe seven figures,
Bun you owe six
Better get your paper together, get this **** fixed
Remixed the management team and tried it ourself
Cussed out the
GM, almost got put on the shelf
**** it, dropped "Ridin' Dirty" instant classic in the
SouthReclaimed the southern title, shut everybody's mouth
Got some clout in the game, boys calling us the greatest
But meanwhile me and
Pimp is still ducking haters
The old manager calling and say he fina' sue
And put a padlock on the everything we trying to do
Put a call out to the
Prince, this ***** still hating
We got heat for the streets, and we can't keep the people waiting
He made a call to [Incomprehensible] and folks, telling the man
You gotta cut
UGK some slack understand
Young Pimp got the plan,
Bun got the drawl
Rap-A-Lot had our back and we just waiting on
JiveWe got the big bosses on the same page
So me and young
Pimp went hit 'em from center stage
Next thing you know we got this call from the
N.Y.It's Jay-
Z saying y'all ****** getting fly
He doing "Volume 3" and got a track from
TimbAnd wondered could some trill ****** rock it with him
**** big Bun was all for it, but
Pimp wasn't sure
But "Big Pimpin" hit 'em 187-
PureNumber one song on every station you turn on
MTV and BE
T we getting our burn on
Grammy nominated can't believe that we made it
And we got a call from
Jive that left us all faded
And it stated, that due to the success of the track
We here at
Jive records, would like to piggy back
Get another beat from
Timb, then get a verse from
JayLet Hype 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 blast
A song like that might take a ***** to the top
But my true fan base, might think a ***** flop
They got mad and put ****** on hold
For damn near a year till the buzz got cold
So we said **** '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 aces
But that's around the time that
Pimp caught two cases
He got probation, said, "**** you hoes"
We finish the album, got ready to do a couple shows
And then he violated, one month before we dropped
And **** just got put on hold or ****ing stopped
Now 30 days done, we back to the nitty-gritty
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, nobody could budge
And then he violated, now we right back before the judge
They calling him a nuisance, put my dog behind a fence
It was January 28th, he ain't been home since
Threw a ***** through a loop and caught me in the crosses
Standing cold,
CEO, now I'm the ****ing boss
Had the devil on my back, got to drinking and drugging
Had to make a choice, get back to rapping or thugging
So I walked into my bedroom, got down on my knees
Put my hands together and
I prayed Lord please
Let me get past this bridge over water that's trouble
And get back up on my grind on the double
He said son don't worry 'cause it's not really hard as it seem
And I can turn your nightmares back into dreams
You just got to stay true to yourself and succeed
Then push away from the devil and get closer to me
And every since that night man
I promise
I been on it
Giving that killer flow to anybody who want it
Pimp the pen like never before,
I'm breaking 'em
GNot to mention
I got the world screaming free
Pimp CSo soon as you make parole and they open the doors
You ain't gotta worry about nothing, the world is yours
Ain't no mo' struggles my ***** and no mo' stripe
I kept it real because to me it's
