"T.I. Speaks (Interlude)" lyrics
Yeah aight, so
Excuse me uh, ladies and gentlemen
Niggas and pimps
Haters and squares
I know y'all are familiar with the new and improved Mr. Banner
That you've heard all over this here CD
But I'ma tell you a lil something about the David Banner I knew
I remember a lot more modest times
We didn't foresee as much success as we do today
You know my album had just not done shit
But in spite of that though, my homeboy say he want to work with me man
My first week I sold 12,500 copies, ha
Think I'ma ever worry 'bout not selling some record again?
Think I can do worse than that? Ha
Anyway, so [?] so my man said "I wanna work with you, man, I know you hot"
So I say, "Aight cool, man, come on by"
So he goddamn drove his motherfucking work van
All the way down motherfucking, uh, what was it, South Cobb Drive
And I don't know if you ever been to Atlanta
I don't know if you know anything about Cobb County
But that's where black people do not wanna be at night time
Especially if you ain't got no license or insurance, you dig what I'm saying?
Aight so, my man pull up in the parking lot, you dig?
I go out there to meet him, and, in his work van y'all
Dig this, he had an MP, a keyboard, and a Mac 11
Or a Tech
Or you know, some kind of sub machine gun
Man, you know, I don't know
But I'm like "Man, this shit do not go together, man"
Damn bruh, I mean like, how you gonna motherfucking play?
You just-, you's a nigga like me, you dig that
We gon' get along, but anyway
So we came in, man, he gave me Rubber Band Man
That's the night we did that
And you know, both of 'em goddamn [?] end up buying fucking cash
You dig what I'm sayin'?
I-I was back to selling dope again, just be quite plain with you
And, he said "I tell you what, bruh"
"I do this shit five stacks"
I said, "Aight, my nigga, I can do that"
"Here, 25 right now, I'ma give you 25 later"
"I'll tell you what, this shit blow, I'ma break more bread with you
You know what I'm saying? We just gonna remain-"
And I be goddamned if that ain't what the fuck happened
You understand that?
That been my motherfucking nigga from that day since
You know what I'm saying?
So I don't give a fuck what nobody ever said about him, what you think about him, my nigga
The king say man, this my motherfucking partner
Leaders of the new south
Fuck what you heard, partner
Let's get it
David, David, David, David, David, David Banner nig
