Let's just say I didn't get my deal
The nigga that was behind me I mean
He wasn't even a nigga you know
The person who actually kicked everything off
Was Joe 3H from Capitol Records
He wanted to sign me really bad
"We gonna change the game buddy"
Dame was like"Yo you got a deal with Capitol
Okay man just make sure it's not wack"
"You gotta make sure it's not wack"
Then one day I just went ahead and played it
I wanted to play some songs
'Cause you know Cam was in the room
Young Guru and Dame was in the room
So I played
Actually it's a song that you'll never hear
But maybe I might use it
So it's called 'Wow'
"I go to Jacob with 25 thou
You go with 25 hundred wow
I got 11 plaques on my walls right now
You got your first gold single damn nigga wow"
Like the chorus went
Don't bite that chorus I might still use it
So I play that song for him and he's like"oh ****"
"Oh **** it's not even wack"
"I ain't gonna front it's kinda hot"
"It's actually kinda hot"
Like they still weren't looking at me like a rapper
And I'm sure Dame figured 'Like man
If he do a whole album if his raps is wack
At least we can throw Cam on every song
And save the album you know
So uh Dame took me into the office
And he's like"yo man B B
You don't want a brick you don't want a brick"
"You don't wanna catch a brick"
"You gotta be under an umbrella
You'll get rained on" I told Hip-hop and Hip-hop was all
"Oh word"
Actually even with that
I was still about to take the deal with Capitol
'Cause it was already on the table
And 'cause of my relationship with 3H
That you know 'cause I told him I was gonna do it
And I'm a man of my word
I was gonna roll with what I said I was gonna do
Then you know I'm not gonna name no names
But people told me"oh he's just a producer-rapper"
And told 3H that told the heads of the Capitol
And right- the day I'm talking about
I planned out everything I was gonna do
Man I had picked out clothes
I already started booking studio sessions
I started arranging my album thinking of marketing schemes
Man I was ready to go
And they had Mel call me they said"yo
Capitol pulled on the deal"
"Yo Capitol pulled out on the deal"
And you know I told them that Roc-A-Fella was interested
And I don't know if they thought that
Was just something I was saying to gas them up
To try to push the price up or whatever
I went up
I called G I said
"Man you think we could still get that deal with Roc-A-Fella"
So won't you raise your glass won't you
So won't you raise your glass won't you
So won't you raise your glass won't you
