[Part I]
[Intro: Future]
Drop your location, she think she me or sum’ (Hendrix)
Put on my chains, now she think she me or sum’
She keep a Glock in her bag, she think …
[Verse 1]
You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole”
You said, “What does it change?
Both of us know
After tonight, there …

Maria…
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
Maria, Maria…
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria
And …
[Verse 1]
What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …
[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, every little smile hides a little lie
Could cut the silence with a knife
Subatomic bliss is nothing left to miss
It’s just empty Russian roulette

Try to brush it off my …
[Verse 1: T.I.]
You got a problem, you can get it how you live, pussy nigga 106
I ain’t flexin’, it just is what it is, pussy nigga 107
Get thrown, get shot, get killed, pussy nigga 108
So what? You got all that money but you still a pussy nigga 109
You ain’t bout that life, you just be actin hard, pussy nigga 110
Every day I’m sucka duckin, trynna dodge pussy niggas 111
All we did was slang crack and get paid, pussy nigga 112
Been the man ever since first grade, pussy nigga 113
Don’t believe me? See me, try me, see what happen, pussy nigga 114
You be dissin’,I be laughin’ cause you just rappin’, pussy nigga 115
No matter what, you’ll never be me, pussy nigga
And see me, no matter what, I’ll never be a pussy nigga 116
[Hook: T.I.]
I play a lot of games, but I ain’t playin’, I ain’t playin’ 117
They say a lot of things, but they ain’t doin’ what they sayin’ 118
Don’t get it fucked up, them niggas scared not me 119
Hold up, let me tell these motherfuckers something ’bout me 120
[Verse 2: T.I.]
Hey when they walk up on me ‘Man, what it is, my potna?’ 121
I say nuthin’ but Bankhead and Center Hill, my potna 122
Didn’t believe us when we said ‘They tried to kill my potna.’ 123
That’s why he doin’ life, but he still my potna 124
Better get it back to section, you ain’t one of my potnas 125
Get on your ass for touchin’, that ain’t one of my potnas
Ask Snoop, I’m the truth, like Trae, my potna 126
C-Dub, KT, yes they my potnas yo 127
Young Dro, Mac Boney, Big Kuntry, my potnas 128
They could talk but they know better than to fuck with my potnas 129
As a young’n OG told me ‘Do your thang, my potna!’
That’s why now I’m on everything and Hustle Gang, my potna 130
[Hook]
[Verse 3: T.I.]
These niggas talk tough, but they know they don’t want it 131
You see me racked up, it’s kinda fucked what you told me 132
Don’t be a fool now, boy I’ll leave you where you lay 133
And I got shooters, ain’t no [?], just what they do every day 134
Back in the day my record wasn’t gettin’ played
I was trappin’, ridin’ dirty, gettin’ paid 135
What? Cut the 5 keys in the back
Hey let me tell you niggas something bout that 136
My cousin Toot was the man, he got his work ’round the base
And how much money he made, nobody know ’til this day 137
My uncle quit, had the city sold up
He did 10k and back I blowed up 138
Ey Every man that’s statin’ ’bout me
At 16 all I wanted was a key
A bank roll, an apartment full of hoes 139
Hey let me tell you something ’bout me ‘case you didn’t know 140
T.I starts by identifying the problem and how the problem comes about.
He then says he is not being proud or being a show off but instead he is stating the facts as they are.
He states where the problem starts which is by picking a fight, then getting a bullet, which results in a fatality for the rival.
T.I. states that it is not about the money because once a coward always a coward.
He then goes on to let the rival know that in real life, that this is not his reality but the coward is trying hard to make it seem so, to fit in.
He says that everyday for him, he has to dodge as he seeks to avoid cowards such as this one.
T.I. says that all he and his crew did was sell cocaine to get some pay
T.I. here states to the rival that since he was in first grade he stood out for his prowess.
T.I. then offers a challenge to his rival, possibly for a rap battle.
He then states that while his rivals are busy dissing him, that he just laughs at their efforts because his rival is just talking.
T.I. then tells his rival that try as he may he can never be him and as for him he can never be a coward like his rival.
T.I. references that at times he does play games just not this time round.
This could be a reference to disses and threats that he may have received, but his rivals are not carrying out their threats as they claim they would.
He tells his rivals not to mess up as they are the ones running scared and not him.
He then asks for a pause so that he can tell his rivals something worth noting about himself.
T.I. gives a example of what happens when one of them walks up to him and says what’s up.
His reaction is to say nothing but head for Bankhead, which is a highway in Atlanta. Center Hill is also a neighborhood located in Atlanta.
This is a reference to someone who did not believe them when they said someone had tried to kill their partner.
Turns out his partner is incarcerated and is serving a life sentence, but T.I. still has his back as his partner.
He then tells his rivals to go back to their station as they are not his partners.
He further denies them, and asks them to go confirm with Snoop that he, like Trae, is telling the truth.
He then names C-Dub and KT as his partners.
Young Dro, Mac Boney as well as Big Kuntry are also named as his partners.
He says his rivals can talk all they want but they should know better than to mess with his partners.
T.I. then says that he received encouragement from OG when he was young, and he was advised to do his thing which is why he is into all sorts of hustles. He also names Hustle Gang as his partner.
T.I. says that his rivals talk tough but they know that they cannot follow through.
So he says when one sees him so intoxicated they should know that the message that he has been told is just messed up.
He then advices his rivals not to be fools or he will leave them lying down where they are lying now.
T.I. also says that he has people who can shoot, who will do that just as what they do everyday.
T.I. then takes a trip down memory lane when he could not get any airplay and he had to really hustle to get paid.
He then gives an example of some of the side hustles that he had to engage in before he made it.
T.I. gives an example of his cousin Toot who did his hustle and made quite a fortune although no one knows how much he made.
His uncle also quit the game and left the city, he then did his 10k while he T.I. was getting high.
T.I. then explains his motivation at the age of 16 years which was a key, slang for cocaine as well as his own money and a house full of fine women.
He then ends the song by saying that he will tell them something about himself just in case they do not know.
