Oh F'real well you got a little skill you can do that

|
|
[verse 1]
|
Now heres this story about this fool
|
I knew from back in the day
|
His name was Mike, he used to kick raps around the way
|
I used to see this nigga everyday up at the school
|
I mean dude was cool type of fool
|
who always said what he meant
|
You could peep him at lunch
|
Freestylin by the bench
|
Now he lived in the hood some called the Danger Zone
|
so he was no stranger to own ways of gettin a legal scratch
|
But for some Strage reason he wasn't living like that
|
We used to kick back smoke a sack
|
Every now and then but usually
|
he was in the house with his pen
|
Writing raps that all the homies said was fat
|
To match that he got he gots his beats
|
From this nigga named Toan
|
One day Mike said to Toan
|
"Lets hook up a demo man
|
That shit could be on"
|
Or thats what they thought shit didn't pop
|
Right away they got caught slippin
|
And Mike really started trippin
|
After a couple months he droped out of school
|
Now we all day kickin it getting high
|
Smokin blunts even quit his part time J.O.B
|
Tooked the money that he saved
|
Put that shit up on the P
|
And now he's flippin zits
|
Man you know the whole skit
|
On how his ass gon quit
|
After he's stacked enough chips
|
But out the blue he got this call
|
>From this A&R talking bout it's time to sign
|
The first thing that runned threw Mikes mind
|
Is that I wont have to grind
|
So when he got the contract
|
He didnt give it back ignored the print
|
That was fine Flashed 50g's in his face
|
And said "All you have to do
|
Is sign on the line to get it"
|
But Toan wasnt with it
|
Thats when the group split
|
But Mike didn't trip he knew he could get beats
|
From the kids he was on the label with
|
So he took the money did some normal rapper's shit
|
bought his ass a new ride
|
Tried to buy his moms a home
|
But when she said I aint gonna move up out the hood
|
He paid off all her loans and hit the studio
|
Every single day of the week
|
And made the beat hella tight songs
|
And after a couple a months
|
The album was finished so he gave the masterd
|
To the label so they could handle the bissness
|
|
[???]
|
aww fool I know who you talking about that was that nigga that nigga
|
mike yeah that fools shit was tight fool he was blowin up fool what
|
happend that nigga got dropped or what I dont know I aint never seen
|

|
|
[Murs] (murs chuckles)
|
This why you aint seen that motherfucker in the hood fool
|
|
[verse 2]
|
Now when the single dropped
|
It really start to pop
|
His shit hit the charts at the top
|
You could see his video all day on The Box
|
And when he hit the spot
|
All the bitches would jock
|
Same ones back in high school that didnt wanna speak
|
Now they step into Mike tellin him he's a freak
|
But he didnt get the big head
|
And start to tweak he stayed down to earth
|
And kicked it with his homies
|
Every single day on the Turf
|
So when the album released
|
He thought his check might increase
|
But he didn't see the loot
|
Every time he called the label
|
They gave him the same song and dance
|
About his advance having to be recouped
|
And on the day of his second video shoot
|
They told he had been let go
|
It seemed the president thought
|
Rap artist wernt bringing in enough dough
|
You know not enough capital
|
So they dropped the whole
|
Department of Black Music
|
Now most of them artist didn't go on to do shit
|
When back to 9 to 5's punchin clocks
|
Acceptin weekly checks
|
But Mike had a plan after a while
|
He knew he was getting fuck
|
By these record Exec's
|
Now it was time to put the plan in effect
|
Next day at the building he goes in
