Interlude: For Us by Us 歌词

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
