And they offered me a million dollar deal [00:00:00]
and had the check ready[00:00:02]
Said I wouldn't be able to use my name[00:00:04]
I was fighting my brother because[00:00:06]
Man you shoulda took the million dollars[00:00:07]
I said 'No what you think I'm worth[00:00:09]
If this white man offer me a million dollars[00:00:11]
I gotta be worth forty or fifty...[00:00:13]
Or ten or something[00:00:16]
To being able to make "Forbes" and come from the Projects[00:00:17]
You know "Top 40 Under 40"[00:00:21]
Which they said couldn't be done[00:00:23]
Had twenty records on the top "Billboard" at one time[00:00:25]
For an independent company[00:00:29]
Black owned company [00:00:31]
You know going to the white lady's house [00:00:33]
where my Grandmother lived at and say[00:00:35]
Look you don't have to work here no more Big Mama[00:00:37]
We got more money than the people on St Charles Street[00:00:40]
And I I took that anger and said I'mma put it into my music[00:00:43]
I tell people all the time[00:00:46]
if you don't understand my record[00:00:48]
you don't understand me so this is not for you[00:00:49]
