What Happened - Yo Gotti
We was just playin' in the Ave. the other day
I never thought I'd be makin' this song
This sh_t's crazy, but look
I don't even know where to start but
When I first met you, all you talked about was Wu-Tang movement
Then I introduced you to this C_caine Muzik
And every other day you expressed your love for Ray
And your love for Ye then we used to debate
'Bout how your partners in the industry thought I still sold yay
We were both geeked up by doin' the deal with Jay
I got my first number one and you was on the run with me
Never want to leave the country if I can't take my gun with me
You weren't with the gangster sh_t but yet you still hung with me
Next time I go to Disney, I'm a take your son with me
First we went to London, then we went to Dubai
You was off the Hen, I was smokin', I got too high
Damn, time flies by
It's like I knew your whole lifetime
We accomplished so much sh_t, my n_gga
We accomplished so much sh_t
We talked about so much sh_t
We done so much sh_t, like
You know me, I'm a stubborn motherf_cker
Like, I ain't listen to nobody
I'm just movin' how I'm movin' and like
You were always just the n_gga to get through to me
I don even know like, how you was able to do it like
Like with the whole sh_t about
They were tryna get me to go for years and years
And I ain't give a f_ck how my money was, I just
I weren't movin' like that 'cause
All my n_ggas convicted felons
I couldn't get the straps across the motherf_ckin' customs
I just can't move like that bro, you know what I mean?
And I remember like [?] callin' me late at night like
"You really need to do this for your career, this made it
Be on the biggest record in Europe right now"
And I'm still like, "F_ck it", you know what I mean like? I wasn't even trippin'
And you're like, "Bro we gotta go, man, we gotta go international, we gotta"
I'm like, "Man look bruh, I ain't f_ckin' with it bruh" you know what I'm sayin'?
I called you back that same night like, "We goin' to London"
We used to walk inside the office give them people hell
I knew you was loyal when your partner went to jail
You never missed a court date, you stayed on the lawyer
And I know [?] gonna miss you he was really for you
Use to tell me to my face when I was full of sh_t
I ain't tryin' to win, I'll do some other sh_t
I respect you for that more than you'll ever know
I had issues with n_ggas, you told me, "Let it go"
You helped me realize I was bigger than just a street n_gga
Took your advice, got security but I still keep my pistols though, yeah
Took your advice, got security but I still keep the, pistols though
See like, I remember we could go back and back and forward about
Man you get too much money to be like
Ridin' round with all these crazy ass guns and
I understand them young n_ggas and
I understand y'all come from a certain life
But if you wanna go to that next level like
You gotta act like it
I ain't gon' lie, like that sh_t just go through one ear and out the other ear
'Cause I'm just from that culture homie
Like where I just don't see nobody protectin' me like me
These young n_ggas with me gon' die with me but
Like I'm a die with them and this understood so
I just always felt like that's that security, we our own security
You told me I'm still a superstar but that n_gga crazy
I introduced you to [?], you say he's amazin'
We both done f_cked up 'bout Snootie, we had a plan for him
We know he had his little issue but we were prayin' for him
I remember you called me excited, sayin' you had talked to Ye
I can't lie, I was geeked, I'm like, "What he say?"
You was on some sh_t like, "My guys, they wanna work with you"
I ain't even gonna front you had told me all the Ye stories and sh_t
And we had been working together like probably a year and a half now like
I was like, "Man, I don't really know if you f_ck with Ye like that"
You know what I'm sayin'? I'm just bein' G
And you like, "No for real, like he wanna work with you"
I'm like "When?"
You're like, "Tomorrow"
N_gga sh_t was so crazy 'cause you know I don't even like flyin'
Like I would jump on a motherf_ckin' Southwest flight
Like n_gga sittin' way in the back
Me, I don't give a f_ck n_gga like
We was on a first thing smokin' n_gga to LA
We're gonna work with Kanye
That sh_t was crazy
We walked into the studio and n_gga was eatin' pot pie and chicken and sh_t
He was just a cool aired n_gga like I just
Immediately screamin' and droppin' joint after joint, after joint, after joint
And I ain't give a f_ck was it was gon' be on
If it was gon' be on anything, and it was just
I always wanted to work with Ye and you knew it
It was crazy
Now I told you I want to sound with Jay and you asked me why
You didn't really feel this sh_t but you was down to ride
Then we went up to the office you had a different view
And you were rushin' me to sign like the sh_t was you, crazy
See I always knew [?] was your man and sh_t 'cause you always talked about him
[?]
You remember we sat down in the room with Jay?
And that n_gga was just chattin' some real sh_t to us
We were holdin' out the pose on some G sh_t though
We say I'm G, you know what I'm sayin'?
We get money too, you feel me?
When we left the office we were like, "Damn"
I mean, n_gga was just amazed at like
N_ggas that grew up together and built an empire together
And I was really motivated by that
That day I told you that was how I wanted me and my brothers to be and me and my n_ggas to be
And then we went to this little private party, remember that sh_t?
Jay got to them to pop the Ace in it, that sh_t spilled all on the table and sh_t
I remember you pulled me to the side
You were like, "I've been in the game a long time, this is like the very, very first time I've felt like an artist"
You were tellin' me like you felt like an artist
You were like, "N_gga I'll sign the contract right now if they break that motherf_cker out"
Damn, if I knew talkin' to you was my last time
The other night it wouldn't have been about no CM9
I would have let you know I value your participation
I would have thanked you for your patience and your conversations
No you weren't forced to question God, and you were somewhere better
But we were supposed to get rich and gon' retire together
What happened?
[Eddie Tate:]
I don't know
How can I go on?
Continue to stay strong
Continue to pray hard
Keep singing your name
And we're gonna just [?]
It was many nights like this
When I could call you
And you could pick the phone up
'Cause you was my partner
And you was there for number one records
[?]
And I can't thank you enough
