The Story - Bun B[00:00:00]
Say this is the realist shit I ever wrote or said[00:00:12]
Wake up with it everyday[00:00:15]
And take it with me to bed[00:00:16]
Hurting my heart[00:00:18]
And hanging over my head[00:00:19]
Bout the realest nigga these[00:00:21]
Texas streets ever bred[00:00:22]
C L Butler better known as Chad or Pimp C[00:00:25]
The closest homeboy that I ever had[00:00:27]
Now when we first met [00:00:30]
We wasn't on the same page[00:00:32]
From pettiness understandings[00:00:33]
That got cleared up with age[00:00:35]
Two young boys[00:00:36]
Who was ready to mash[00:00:38]
Put P A on the map[00:00:39]
And maybe make a little cash[00:00:41]
Jumped down with Big Tyme [00:00:42]
Put down a few songs[00:00:44]
Everybody co-signed saying[00:00:45]
That we could do no wrong[00:00:47]
Then hit the streets[00:00:49]
With a big ass bang[00:00:50]
Them gangsta ass rhymes[00:00:52]
With that country ass twang[00:00:53]
Dropped "Tell Me Something Good"[00:00:55]
Took off and went live[00:00:56]
Shit next thing you know[00:00:58]
We was signing to Jive[00:00:59]
Dropped "Too Hard to Swallow" "[00:01:01]
A Pocket Full of Stones"[00:01:03]
Put the remix on "Menace"[00:01:04]
Shit we had it going on[00:01:05]
Got love in the streets[00:01:07]
And played on the air[00:01:08]
But the homey putting us out [00:01:10]
Wasn't playing too fair[00:01:11]
Had to separate ourself [00:01:13]
Bring in a new team[00:01:14]
But sometimes the other side[00:01:16]
Ain't always what it seems[00:01:18]
We dropped "Super Tight"[00:01:19]
A album full of killer flows[00:01:21]
But then we got caught up[00:01:22]
With the drugs and the hoes[00:01:24]
We didn't realize what was[00:01:25]
Happening on the real[00:01:27]
And new management was[00:01:28]
Cutting back room deals[00:01:30]
Hiding different money[00:01:31]
And ever sealing the price[00:01:33]
He had us doing all the work[00:01:34]
But was keeping the biggest slice[00:01:36]
Took a while to catch on [00:01:37]
To what homey was doing[00:01:39]
But by the time we did [00:01:40]
All the paperwork was in ruins[00:01:42]
Nigga kept all the receipts[00:01:43]
So we couldn't file taxes[00:01:45]
The next thing you know [00:01:47]
IRS hitting us with axes[00:01:48]
Pimp you owe seven figures [00:01:50]
Bun you owe six[00:01:51]
Better get your paper together [00:01:53]
Get this shit fixed[00:01:54]
Remixed the management team[00:01:56]
And tried it ourself[00:01:58]
Cussed out the GM [00:01:59]
Almost got put on the shelf[00:02:00]
F**k it dropped "Ridin' Dirty"[00:02:02]
Instant classic in the South[00:02:04]
Reclaimed the southern title [00:02:05]
Shut everybody's mouth[00:02:07]
Got some clout in the game [00:02:08]
Boys calling us the greatest[00:02:10]
But meanwhile me and[00:02:11]
Pimp is still ducking haters[00:02:13]
The old manager calling[00:02:14]
And say he fina' sue[00:02:16]
And put a padlock on the[00:02:17]
Everything we trying to do[00:02:19]
Put a call out to the Prince [00:02:20]
This nigga still hating[00:02:22]
We got heat for the streets [00:02:23]
And we can't keep the people waiting[00:02:25]
He made a call to[00:02:27]
And folks telling the man[00:02:28]
You gotta cut UGK some slack understand[00:02:30]
Young Pimp got the plan [00:02:32]
Bun got the drawl[00:02:34]
Rap-A-Lot had our back[00:02:36]
And we just waiting on Jive[00:02:37]
We got the big bosses[00:02:39]
On the same page[00:02:41]
So me and young Pimp went[00:02:42]
Hit 'em from center stage[00:02:43]
Next thing you know[00:02:45]
We got this call from the N Y [00:02:47]
It's Jay-Z saying y'all niggaz getting fly[00:02:49]
He doing "Volume 3" and[00:02:52]
Got a track from Timb[00:02:53]
And wondered could some[00:02:54]
Trill niggaz rock it with him[00:02:56]
Shit big Bun was all for it [00:02:57]
But Pimp wasn't sure[00:02:59]
But "Big Pimpin" hit 'em 187-Pure[00:03:00]
Number one song on every[00:03:04]
Station you turn on[00:03:05]
MTV and BET we getting our burn on[00:03:06]
Grammy nominated[00:03:10]
Can't believe that we made it[00:03:11]
And we got a call from[00:03:13]
Jive that left us all faded[00:03:14]
And it stated that due[00:03:16]
To the success of the track[00:03:17]
We here at Jive records [00:03:19]
Would like to piggy back[00:03:20]
Get another beat from Timb [00:03:22]
Then get a verse from Jay[00:03:23]
Let Hype shoot the video[00:03:25]
And we'll be on the way[00:03:26]
Shit it sounded okay [00:03:28]
But me I had to ask[00:03:29]
If we don't do Big Pimpin 2 [00:03:31]
Would you still put us on blast[00:03:33]
A song like that would might[00:03:34]
Take a nigga to the top[00:03:36]
But my true fan base [00:03:37]
Might think a nigga flop[00:03:39]
They got mad and put niggaz on hold[00:03:41]
For damn near a year[00:03:43]
Till the buzz got cold[00:03:45]
So we said f**k 'em[00:03:46]
And went back to the basics[00:03:48]
Trying to find ways to get[00:03:50]
The f**k up out the matrix[00:03:51]
We put "Dirty Money"[00:03:53]
Together and it was aces[00:03:54]
But that's around the time[00:03:56]
That Pimp caught two cases[00:03:57]
He got probation [00:03:59]
Said f**k you hoes[00:04:00]
We finish the album [00:04:01]
Got ready to do a couple shows[00:04:03]
And then he violated [00:04:05]
One month before we dropped[00:04:06]
And shit just got put[00:04:08]
On hold or f**king stopped[00:04:09]
Now 30 days done [00:04:11]
We back to the nitty gritty[00:04:12]
Album got released [00:04:14]
Big showdown in Chocolate City[00:04:15]
Niggaz with masks on [00:04:17]
Vests and all black[00:04:19]
It's Christmas 2001 [00:04:20]
Bitch we was all that[00:04:21]
Strongest on the block [00:04:23]
Nobody could budge[00:04:25]
And then he violated [00:04:26]
Now we right back before the judge[00:04:27]
They calling him a nuisance [00:04:29]
Put my dog behind a fence[00:04:31]
It was January 28th [00:04:32]
He ain't been home since[00:04:34]
Threw a nigga through a loop[00:04:35]
And caught me in the crosses[00:04:37]
Standing cold CEO [00:04:39]
Now I'm the f**king boss[00:04:40]
Had the devil on my back [00:04:41]
Got to drinking and drugging[00:04:43]
Had to make a choice [00:04:44]
Get back to rapping or thugging[00:04:46]
So I walked into my bedroom [00:04:48]
Got down on my knees[00:04:49]
Put my hands together[00:04:51]
And I prayed Lord please[00:04:52]
Let me get past this bridge[00:04:54]
Over water that's trouble[00:04:55]
And get back up on my grind on the double[00:04:56]
He said son don't worry[00:04:59]
Cause it's not really hard as it seem[00:05:01]
And I can turn your nightmares[00:05:03]
Back into dreams[00:05:04]
You just got to stay true to yourself[00:05:06]
And succeed[00:05:08]
Then push away from the devil[00:05:09]
And get closer to me[00:05:11]
And every since that night man[00:05:12]
I promise I been on it[00:05:14]
Giving that killer flow[00:05:15]
To anybody who want it[00:05:17]
Pimp the pen like never before [00:05:18]
I'm breaking 'em G[00:05:20]
Not to mention I got the world[00:05:21]
Screaming free Pimp C[00:05:23]
So soon as you make parole[00:05:24]
And they open the doors[00:05:26]
You ain't gotta worry about nothing [00:05:27]
The world is yours[00:05:29]
Ain't no mo' struggles my nigga[00:05:30]
And no mo' stripe[00:05:32]
I kept it real because[00:05:33]
To me it's UGK for life[00:05:35]
