Act I: T.I.P.

Man, I ain't sign up for this shit

Lost my partner, lost my life, holmes

Man, fuck this shit, I'm done, aye

Listen holmes, get Atlantic on the phone

Go on call 'em, have 'em tell Craig

Julie, Kevin, Kyser, I need to holla at 'em

First I gotta let em know I'm tired of rappin'

Fuck the money, ever since Phil died, I ain't happy

Hey, what's happenin', we under new operations

Though we ready for whatever, we like the cooperation better

Listen when I'm talkin', throw it on

I ain't patient, I'm tell you once

Then start countin' shell cases

Don't mean to scare you, but this bullshit is irritating

I'm a tell you like it is, shorty, I ain't finna play

I feel another K coming 'round the corner any day

I know the consequences, I'm the same **** anyway

It's way more important, what I'm finna say

Do what I say, I ain't droppin' shit till 2028

(Who gives a fuck if he comes on the 20th or 28th)

(He said the year two thousand twenty-eight, you fucking moron)

And listen guys wanna be high, shit

It's T.I.P. from here on out fuck that T.I. shit

Give a damn what that **** got to say bout this

Yeah, but think it best you just say I did

Don't be e-malling no itineraries I won't get it

Ya best bet, just holler when they fuel the jet

Tell Sidney ain't no photo shoots, and I ain't interviewin'

Refuse, and I'll build a subdivision, shoot a dozen movies

(Cash that check, and you spending our money)

You right about that, honey, thanks for doing that for me

(Speaking of money)

And you can always buy me out, but the price high

I ain't another T.I. ****, no more mister nice guy

(Listen kid, understand me here) What?

(This is Lyor Cohen) Yeah, yeah

(You better treat this company with some respect)

(And you better not be playing with my motherfucking money)

Oh, I got ya motherfuckin' money, partner, but I ain't playin'

You got any sense, you'll do what the fuck I say

Or else ain't no goddamn album

And that ain't no threat, that's a motherfuckin' promise, Jack

Come and see me if you want it

Get it like the Red Cross, ****
