[Solange, Master P - Interlude: For Us by Us lyrics]
And they offered me a million dollar deal
And had the check ready said I
Wouldn't be able to use my name i
Was fighting my brother, because "Man
You shoulda took the million
Dollars!" I said "No
What you think I'm worth? If
This white man offer me a million
Dollars I gotta be worth forty
Or fifty or ten or something"
To being able to make "Forbes" and
Come from the Projects you know
"Top 40 Under 40" Which they said couldn't
Be done had twenty records on the
Top "Billboard" at one time for an
Independent company black-owned company
You know, going
To the white lady's house where my
Grandmother lived at, and say, "Look
You don't have to work here
No more Big Mama! We
Got more money than the people
On St charles Street"
And I, I took that anger and said
"I'mma put it into my music" I tell
People all the time, "If you don't understand
My record, you don't understand me
So this is not for you"
And had the check ready said I
Wouldn't be able to use my name i
Was fighting my brother, because "Man
You shoulda took the million
Dollars!" I said "No
What you think I'm worth? If
This white man offer me a million
Dollars I gotta be worth forty
Or fifty or ten or something"
To being able to make "Forbes" and
Come from the Projects you know
"Top 40 Under 40" Which they said couldn't
Be done had twenty records on the
Top "Billboard" at one time for an
Independent company black-owned company
You know, going
To the white lady's house where my
Grandmother lived at, and say, "Look
You don't have to work here
No more Big Mama! We
Got more money than the people
On St charles Street"
And I, I took that anger and said
"I'mma put it into my music" I tell
People all the time, "If you don't understand
My record, you don't understand me
So this is not for you"
