Told You So

Lyrics

[Intro]
 Grand Hustle Pimp...
 Hey, what's happenin' shorty?
 Me being a true player and all
 I mean you know as a stand up guy you know
 I really hate to say I told you so
 But, man I told you so
 Back when we said we were goin to run this shit man
 When we said Pimp Squad Click, Grand Hustle was the business
 When we said their was a whole 'nother side of Atlanta
 Another bunch of muthafuckers in the trap, y'all didn't know.
 [Chorus:]
 Man, I told you so
 They thought a pimp wasn't supposed to blow
 Because I was rappin' about movin' O's and blow
 Pimp I told you so
 They thought that Outkast closed the door
 And Ludacris came in and sold his 4
 Man, I told you so
 The Mac, C-Rod, Kuntry and Dro
 And AK had the coldest flow
 Nigga, I told you so
 I said the future right up under your nose
 You thought the south wouldn't explode no more
 Remember, I told you so.
 [T.I.:]
 Way back when Kriss-Kross was hollerin' "Jump" on your tube
 They was still gettin' jumped at school, we used to tote them tools
 Don't get me wrong I'll give respect to them dudes
 But approach us wrong, and we'll smoke them fools, ain't no joke it's the truth
 Fuck a hater, let 'em do what it do
 I'm busy now, but I'll be through in a few
 And then I'm comin' for you
 So keep shit talkin' like it's somethin' to do
 I'll spend a 100 grand get a killer somethin' to do
 I been hustlin' since 92' when I heard UGK
 Hollerin' "Pocket Full of Stones" I was on my way
 Had a history in the yay, before I started to trap
 13, let me take you back farther than that
 When my uncles was baggin' blocks, used to count the stacks
 I was only 8, and my grand-daddy can vouch for that
 And my pops had alot of work, alot of folk he got 'em work
 And ran numbers, said if he ain't wanna, he ain't gotta work
 Why I sold rocks, I guess I got from pops
 My uncles? man? a chip off the old block
 The nigga you hear now the same one from off the old block
 Who used to stand on Front St. and get off the old block.
 [Chorus:]
 Man, I told you so
 They thought a pimp wasn't supposed to blow
 Because I was rappin' about movin' O's and blow
 Pimp I told you so
 They thought that Outkast closed the door
 And Ludacris came in and sold his 4
 Man, I told you so
 The Mac, C-Rod, Kuntry and Dro
 And AK had the coldest flow
 Nigga, I told you so
 I said the future right up under your nose
 You thought the south wouldn't explode no more
 Remember, I told you so.
 I remember the P$C, Mr. Mike, David Banner and me and Young Bloods
 Ran through Atlanta with heat, when even Atlanta was sleep
 Nigga, back before you heard of me
 I was middle man into servin' keys when KC was serving 3
 I'm on top because I deserved to be
 So simmer down, calm your nerves at least
 Speak your words with peace
 Before you lay out on the curb deceased
 Think about it, it's absurd to beat
 I took my songs to street
 He told me dope boy was the bomb in the street
 Since then, my name rang like alarms in the street
 Who knew how long it would be
 If only LA knew how wrong he could be
 I told you ain't nobody stronger than me.
 [Chorus:]
 Man, I told you so
 They thought a pimp wasn't supposed to blow
 Because I was rappin' about movin' O's and blow
 Pimp I told you so
 They thought that Outkast closed the door
 And Ludacris came in and sold his 4
 Man, I told you so
 The Mac, C-Rod, Kuntry and Dro
 And AK had the coldest flow
 Nigga, I told you so
 I said the future right up under your nose
 You thought the south wouldn't explode no more
 Remember, I told you so.
 This southern rap shit of the day is something I helped design
 Puerto Rico of the mix show I'll let you know who the next in line
 The Snowman, Paul Wall, the Thug?
 Alot of other niggas shouldn't of even been signed
 That's a opinion of mine
 Because these niggas be neglectin' the grind
 Ain't waitin' on nobody to let me shine, I'm a go get me mine
 And then they wonder why they checks behind.
 Cause TIP was 20k? Back in the day, need me to press rewind
 What be on these niggas mind? Man don't get me to lyin'
 I seen your kind, dopeboy, and that ain't even you kind
 Ain't never sold a gram of crack, and ain't no need of your tryin'
 Back in the trap, pimp I don't see him survivin'.
 [Chorus:]
 Man, I told you so
 They thought a pimp wasn't supposed to blow
 Because I was rappin' about movin' O's and blow
 Pimp I told you so
 They thought that Outkast closed the door
 And Ludacris came in and sold his 4
 Man, I told you so
 The Mac, C-Rod, Kuntry and Dro
 And AK had the coldest flow
 Nigga, I told you so
 I said the future right up under your nose
 You thought the south wouldn't explode no more
 Remember, I told you so.
