Now heres this story about this fool |
| [00:22.61] |
I knew from back in the day |
| [00:23.81] |
His name was Mike |
| [00:24.69] |
He used to kick raps around the way |
| [00:26.62] |
I used to see this nigga everyday up at the school |
| [00:28.66] |
|
| [00:29.29] |
I mean dude was cool type of fool |
| [00:31.34] |
Who always said what he meant |
| [00:32.74] |
You could peep him at lunch |
| [00:33.91] |
Freestyling by the bench |
| [00:35.21] |
Now he lived in the hood some called the Danger Zone |
| [00:37.82] |
So he was no stranger to own |
| [00:39.49] |
Ways of getting a legal scratch |
| [00:41.32] |
But for some Strage reason he wasn't living like that |
| [00:43.69] |
We used to kick back smoke a sack |
| [00:45.88] |
Every now and then but usually |
| [00:47.38] |
He was in the house with his pen |
| [00:49.13] |
Writing raps that all the homies said was fat |
| [00:51.28] |
To match that he got he gots his beats |
| [00:52.94] |
From this nigga named Toan |
| [00:54.01] |
One day Mike said to Toan |
| [00:55.58] |
Lets hook up a demo man |
| [00:56.92] |
That shit could be on |
| [00:58.56] |
Or thats what they thought shit didn't pop |
| [01:00.80] |
Right away they got caught slipping |
| [01:02.48] |
And Mike really started tripping |
| [01:04.19] |
After a couple months he droped out of school |
| [01:06.73] |
Now we all day kicking it getting high |
| [01:08.67] |
Smoking blunts even quit his part time J O B |
| [01:11.62] |
Tooked the money that he saved |
| [01:13.25] |
Put that shit up on the P |
| [01:14.67] |
And now he's flipping zits |
| [01:15.97] |
Man you know the whole skit |
| [01:17.63] |
On how his ass gon quit |
| [01:18.94] |
After he's stacked enough chips |
| [01:20.24] |
But out the blue he got this call |
| [01:22.17] |
From this A&R talking bout it's time to sign |
| [01:24.43] |
The first thing that runned threw Mikes mind |
| [01:26.14] |
Is that I won't have to grind |
| [01:27.63] |
So when he got the contract |
| [01:28.86] |
He didnt give it back ignored the print |
| [01:30.24] |
That was fine Flashed 50g's in his face |
| [01:33.10] |
And said All you have to do |
| [01:34.18] |
Is sign on the line to get it |
| [01:35.54] |
But Toan wasnt with it |
| [01:36.74] |
Thats when the group split |
| [01:38.32] |
But Mike didn't trip he knew he could get beats |
| [01:41.27] |
From the kids he was on the label with |
| [01:43.14] |
So he took the money did some normal rapper's shit |
| [01:45.43] |
Bought his ass a new ride |
| [01:46.72] |
Tried to buy his moms a home |
| [01:48.40] |
But when she said I aint gonna move up out the hood |
| [01:51.14] |
He paid off all her loans and hit the studio |
| [01:52.98] |
Every single day of the week |
| [01:54.58] |
And made the beat hella tight songs |
| [01:56.68] |
And after a couple a months |
| [01:57.54] |
The album was finished so he gave the masterd |
| [01:59.58] |
To the label so they could handle the bissness |
| [02:01.74] |
Aww fool I know who you talking about |
| [02:04.66] |
That was that nigga that nigga |
| [02:06.22] |
Mike yeah that fools shit was tight fool |
| [02:09.09] |
He was blowin up fool what |
| [02:11.83] |
Happend that nigga got dropped |
| [02:12.68] |
|
| [02:13.20] |
Or what I don't know I aint never seen |
| [02:15.17] |
That nigga no more |
| [02:16.27] |
|
| [02:17.70] |
This why you aint seen |
| [02:18.68] |
That motherf**ker in the hood fool |
| [02:19.92] |
|
| [02:22.72] |
Now when the single dropped |
| [02:23.51] |
It really start to pop |
| [02:25.00] |
His shit hit the charts at the top |
| [02:26.79] |
You could see his video all day on The Box |
| [02:28.98] |
And when he hit the spot |
| [02:30.67] |
All the bitches would jock |
| [02:31.58] |
Same ones back in high school that didnt wanna speak |
| [02:34.64] |
Now they step into Mike tellin him he's a freak |
| [02:37.69] |
But he didnt get the big head |
| [02:39.27] |
And start to tweak he stayed down to earth |
| [02:41.74] |
And kicked it with his homies |
| [02:42.77] |
Every single day on the Turf |
| [02:44.63] |
So when the album released |
| [02:45.87] |
He thought his check might increase |
| [02:47.98] |
But he didn't see the loot |
| [02:49.49] |
Every time he called the label |
| [02:50.77] |
They gave him the same song and dance |
| [02:52.14] |
About his advance having to be recouped |
| [02:54.03] |
And on the day of his second video shoot |
| [02:56.42] |
They told he had been let go |
| [02:58.06] |
It seemed the president thought |
| [02:59.45] |
Rap artist wernt bringing in enough dough |
| [03:01.91] |
You know not enough capital |
| [03:03.60] |
So they dropped the whole |
| [03:05.14] |
Department of Black Music |
| [03:06.06] |
Now most of them artist didn't go on to do shit |
| [03:08.81] |
When back to 9 to 5's punchin clocks |
| [03:11.06] |
Acceptin weekly checks |
| [03:11.56] |
|
| [03:12.24] |
But Mike had a plan after a while |
| [03:14.21] |
He knew he was getting f**k |
| [03:15.67] |
By these record Exec's |
| [03:16.69] |
Now it was time to put the plan in effect |
| [03:18.93] |
Next day at the building he goes in |
| [03:20.98] |
Disguised as the dude from Fed X |
| [03:22.56] |
Takes the elevator all the way |
| [03:24.45] |
To the top floor no sooner then he steps |
| [03:26.47] |
Out the door the secutary asking |
| [03:28.57] |
Who the package is for |
| [03:29.82] |
He said I'm here to see uh Mr Goldstien |
| [03:31.45] |
|
| [03:32.01] |
She said Right now he cant be seen |
| [03:34.02] |
So he tryed to walk past her and ignore it |
| [03:36.39] |
Then she grabed his shirt like |
| [03:37.54] |
Nah I could sign for it |
| [03:39.00] |
So he gave her the clip board |
| [03:40.56] |
Then acted like he was pulling a pen |
| [03:42.47] |
Out of his uniform But a rag full of chloriform |
| [03:44.89] |
Then placed over her face |
| [03:46.28] |
The bitch was knocked out slid her fat ass |
| [03:48.45] |
Under the desk just incase no time to waste |
| [03:50.99] |
He went into the Big Man's office |
| [03:53.32] |
As soon as Goldstien seen Mike face |
| [03:55.42] |
He knew something was going on |
| [03:56.56] |
So he reached for the phone |
| [03:58.05] |
Just as Mike expected |
| [03:58.80] |
|
| [03:59.31] |
So he healed up the end of the cord |
| [04:01.58] |
To show him that that shit was dissconected |
| [04:02.95] |
He connected with a knife to his wind pipe |
| [04:05.11] |
Now he couldn't scream for his life |
| [04:07.11] |
He said none of this had to happend |
| [04:08.50] |
If you would've treated your artists right |
| [04:10.09] |
Trying to pimp my peoples art |
| [04:11.73] |
Never giving us a equal part |
| [04:13.55] |
But I was peepin your plan from the start |
| [04:15.59] |
It was never to see us be young black and rich |
| [04:17.95] |
Yal wanted to be the only muthaf**ker's |
| [04:19.63] |
Stacking chips that fool looked like he was |
| [04:21.63] |
Honna have himself a heart attack and shit |
| [04:23.45] |
But Mike stepped back and stabbed him in the heart |
| [04:25.85] |
With the pen he signed his contract with aint that a bitch |
| [04:28.16] |
|
| [04:29.17] |
I heard that fool moved to Moraco |
