Tell 'Em I Said That - T.I.
[Intro]
Ay, ay, ay, ay
For as long as I remember I been tellin y'all man
to pull these n_ggaz resume (ay, ay, ay, ay)
You better check up on these n_ggaz
These n_ggaz be lyin man
These n_ggaz ain't really kickin this sh_t they be tellin y'all man
They wanna see y'all get f_cked up out there man
Man keep your eyes on me n_gga
Don't believe what these n_ggaz tell you man
I'm tryin to tell ya partner!
[Chorus]
These n_ggaz ain't cool, what they rap about these n_ggaz ain't do
Hear 'em say it but it really ain't true
You n_ggaz ain't true, you n_ggaz ain't really totin tools
Don't be no fool, you better take yo' ass to school
Cause these n_ggaz ain't G, gangsta's somethin these n_ggaz can't be
What you expect? These n_ggaz ain't me
You n_ggaz ain't rich, you n_ggaz ain't really gettin bricks
It's official man, you n_ggaz ain't sh_t
Tell 'em I said that
[T.I.]
These n_ggaz lyin e'ry time you hear 'em rhymin
Hear 'em talkin 'bout they diamonds and how they be out there shinin
'Fore the rappin, hey what trappin, tell y'all they be out there grindin
I know they ain't 'bout that action, I'm tellin y'all I'm around 'em
They probably tried to come in the hood and sell weed
Think it's all good 'til they run into some real G's
Holla, tell us where it is and I promise we'll leave
Hesitate to say and boy them lawmen will squeeze
Please, pay attention to this part of the book
One time, got robbed, got shot, got shook
Got a job, start rhymin, came up with a hook
Got a chain and some tats, came up with a look
Went and made a hit record, talk tough in the book
F_ck the image and perception, they never tough as they look
They some motherf_ckin s_ckas, put it on whatever
Any real n_gga know better, man
[Chorus]
These n_ggaz ain't cool, what they rap about these n_ggaz ain't do
Hear 'em say it but it really ain't true
You n_ggaz ain't true, you n_ggaz ain't really totin tools
Don't be no fool, you better take yo' ass to school
Cause these n_ggaz ain't G, gangsta's somethin these n_ggaz can't be
What you expect? These n_ggaz ain't me
You n_ggaz ain't rich, you n_ggaz ain't really gettin bricks
It's official man, you n_ggaz ain't sh_t
Tell 'em I said that
[T.I.]
You can't tell, them n_ggaz ain't shell
You get caught, bet them n_ggaz gon' tell
Them n_ggaz don't sell the sh_t you ain't gotta put up on a scale
He ask you if it weigh enough, just tell him yeah
You n_ggaz just yell, pull a pistol the n_gga gon' bail
If he got a pistol bet he don't spray it, he don't wanna go to jail
And then he'll know he'll be walkin on shells
It's a gladiator school, is you prepared?
I can see these n_ggaz scared, got a problem with me n_gga just say it
We can play it how you wanna play it
Better go 'head 'fore that pistol be aimed at yo' head
All the way down here where you gon' lay
You ain't really on the edge, you ain't under suspicion of the Feds
You just tellin them you is instead
You ain't never bust heads but you get behind the mic and just say it
The people oughta know I +MUST+ say it, man
[Chorus]
These n_ggaz ain't cool, what they rap about these n_ggaz ain't do
Hear 'em say it but it really ain't true
You n_ggaz ain't true, you n_ggaz ain't really totin tools
Don't be no fool, you better take yo' ass to school
Cause these n_ggaz ain't G, gangsta's somethin these n_ggaz can't be
What you expect? These n_ggaz ain't me
You n_ggaz ain't rich, you n_ggaz ain't really gettin bricks
It's official man, you n_ggaz ain't sh_t
Tell 'em I said that
[T.I.]
You damn right, you n_ggaz don't have rights
to rap about the sh_t I did e'ry night
Did you win e'ry fight? You ever went to jail for sellin white?
Made bond, back in the trap the same night?
You know these n_ggaz lame, right?
I'm speakin on it cause it ain't right
N_ggaz died, I survived, I done earned my stripes
Went to jail, came home, between the time got it right
I'm still tryin to keep from shootin s_cka n_ggaz I don't like
Cause the game feel like the real n_ggaz on strike
This s_cker get a deal, now he livin so sheist
These n_ggaz outta sight, actin hard, lyin on they record
You know it when you see it, recognize it, don't respect it
Got e'ry right to check 'em when you see 'em in your city
Run up on 'em and try 'em, bet your city they some b_tches
N_ggaz tell you what they want you to hear, don't tell me
Real recognize real, eventually they'll see
[Chorus]
These n_ggaz ain't cool, what they rap about these n_ggaz ain't do
Hear 'em say it but it really ain't true
You n_ggaz ain't true, you n_ggaz ain't really totin tools
Don't be no fool, you better take yo' ass to school
Cause these n_ggaz ain't G, gangsta's somethin these n_ggaz can't be
What you expect? These n_ggaz ain't me
You n_ggaz ain't rich, you n_ggaz ain't really gettin bricks
It's official man, you n_ggaz ain't sh_t
Tell 'em I said that
Ay, ay, ay
