Master P - You Need To Know lyrics
[Master P - You Need To Know lyrics]
If you don't want to hear the truth
Then just skip past this one
Keep telling lies because the truth hurt
Keep telling lies 'cause the truth hurt
Signed a deal
Then they lie about they net worth
You can't make Forbes and have a 360 deal
I know everybody tryin' to
Get that water deal
Everybody tryin' to get that Rocawear deal
Evreybody tryin' to get that 80
20 deal like I did
This the realest shit I ever wrote
This the realest shit I ever spoke
This the shit they don't want you to know
But if you gettin' money
This the shit you need to know
This the realest shit I ever wrote
This the realest shit I ever spoke
This the shit they don't want you to know
But if you gettin' money
This the shit you need to know
They give us one percent
We think we own the team
Signed a record deal but the money
Don't match a nigga dream
Then they put these rookies
Against each other they used to be homeboys
Now they tryna to kill each other
Don't even read when they sign these deals
Just head straight to and
Holler 'Shine these grills'
And when you hot
They gon' let you use their house
And when you not
That's the day they kick you out
While Richard Branson having fun
Flying in space
These artists out here starving
Catching a case
I don't know what they did to Mase
But I heard Ciroc gave Puffy some cake
And these hoes and these jewels'll
Be a young nigga downfall
They giving like 50 mil'
For playin' roundball
Then throw your name in the paper
And make it easy access for the haters
This the realest shit I ever wrote
This the realest shit I ever spoke
This the shit they don't want you to know
But if you gettin' money
This the shit you need to know
This the realest shit I ever wrote
This the realest shit I ever spoke
This the shit they don't want you to know
But if you gettin' money
This the shit you need to know
They got financial advisors just
To pay their bills dre hit with Beats
Now every rapper want that deal
How you gon' make 50 mil'
And go kill a nigga?
Too many steroids, damn you a silly nigga
Now these athletes want to be rappers
These rappers make a lil' money and
They want to be trappers
Buy a phantom and don't have no house
These niggas backwards from the inside out
And y'all want to be Kobe
'cause he own the team
I'm tryna be the white boy
That own the league
And I pledge allegiance to the American dream
And educated myself so they
Won't kill my dreams
I'm glad Nike gave Lebron a 100 mil'
But took that same endorsement
Turned into a couple of bills
And rappers losing to these sponsors
Reality shows think you creating stars
They making monsters
This the realest shit I ever wrote
This the realest shit I ever spoke
This the shit they don't want you to know
But if you gettin' money
This the shit you need to know
This the realest shit I ever wrote
This the realest shit I ever spoke
This the shit they don't want you to know
But if you gettin' money
This the shit you need to know
Why we doin' 360 deals when it's
So much technology out there
We could do our own shit?
And why you athletes hookin'
Up with business niggas
That never even made money before
To watch your money?
Shit don't make no sense
This the realest shit I ever
Wrote, wake up man, sign your own check
Invest like one-third of your
Money just in case
You need that for a rainy day
You feel me? These strip clubs and
Cars don't hold no value
That's a bad investment
You fall down, you get back up
That's how hustlers do it
And if you could help your people
You help them
You don't let them starve, you never know
Who might be the next you, nigga
You get a lot of friends when you got money
But when you don't have shit
Ain't nobody gon' fuck with you
Listen to what I'm sayin' man
Don't let this be you
And don't let no nigga kill your dreams man
Your never too old, never too young
To be able to make music or
Do what you want to do you ever seen a rich
PD or on-air personality
Anybody ever check their salary?
Muthafuckas always tryin' to kill
A nigga dream
Man don't worry about no radio
I ain't never worried about gettin'
My songs on the radio
Get your shit in the streets to your people
Nigga get out there and hustle
Do what you do, man
Stop all that fuckin' crying
Nobody give a fuck about you
Everybody got a problem, nigga, do you
Fuck these haters
Stop fuckin' with all these broke hoes
Find you somebody with an education or a job
Somebody that could help you
Say you hang around a bunch of
Broke muthafuckas then you broke
You hang around rich muthafuckas
Then you rich
Then just skip past this one
Keep telling lies because the truth hurt
Keep telling lies 'cause the truth hurt
Signed a deal
Then they lie about they net worth
You can't make Forbes and have a 360 deal
I know everybody tryin' to
Get that water deal
Everybody tryin' to get that Rocawear deal
