  • Emotions in this game run deep
    So before these haters kill me in my sleep
    I'd like to say it's been a pleasure
    Reppin' 'til my last second through
    Done a lot of shit they'll never get to do
    I'd like to say it's been a pleasure
    Honored to be somebody they mention
    But before these niggas stop payin' attention
    I'll just say it's been a pleasure
    You'll never be somebody they need
    Tomorrow ain't guaranteed
    So tonight we gon' do it like this
    Oh, for the H-Town
    Tonight I'm gon' make some money go
    For the H-Town

    Ladies and gentlemen
    You're now listenin' to the Dirty South trillionaire ('naire)
    Keepin' it trill in there, been here and he's still in there (there)
    Pay attention, it's the beginnin' of a new era (era)
    Get a little closer you can see the view clearer (view clearer)
    It's like Lasik but are basic
    Ebonics if you're hooked on chronic and you can taste it
    Trace it, recognize the real when ya face it
    Ball up in the club gettin white boy wasted
    One shot of Patron, then another one to chase it
    Put me to the test, I won't pass it I'll ace it
    Been so many places, up and down the interstate
    Cities that I've never been, wonderin' if they fin' to hate
    Step up in the spot, let 'em look me in the grill (grill)
    So they can see it for they self that I keep it trill (I keep it trill)
    I paid the cost to be the boss and left a tip
    So it's all good (good) don't even trip
    Believe me it's been a pleasure

    Emotions in this game run deep
    So before these haters kill me in my sleep
    I'd like to say it's been a pleasure
    Reppin' 'til my last second through
    Done a lot of shit they'll never get to do
    I'd like to say it's been a pleasure
    Honored to be somebody they mention
    But before these niggas stop payin' attention
    I'll just say it's been a pleasure
    You'll never be somebody they need
    Tomorrow ain't guaranteed
    So tonight we gon' do it like this
    Oh, for the H-Town
    Tonight I'm gon' make some money go
    For the H-Town

    Man I've been all over the world
    Tryin' to tell 'em 'bout the trill and what we been through (through)
    What we already done and what we fin' do (do)
    What we got into, what we gettin' into (to)
    When ties 'bout to cut it closer than a Ginsu ('su)
    Roll through Atlanta, Birmingham, Alabama ('bama)
    Jacksonville to Jackson, Mississippi spittin' grammar (spittin' grammar)
    From Shreveport ('port) down to New Orleans ('leans)
    And all points in between just to get the cream (cream)
    Me and my "II Trill" team on the road flippin' (flippin')
    Eight hours straight, no stops, no trippin' (trippin')
    Had to keep them heaters on 'em so it's no slippin' (slippin')
    Promote a play with show money, we were slow grippin' (slow grippin')
    Sometimes we rock the stage and put it down (down)
    Other times we had to fight and shoot it out of town (town)
    But we always made it home okay
    And we still on the road to this day
    I gotta say it's been a pleasure

    Emotions in this game run deep
    So before these haters kill me in my sleep
    I'd like to say it's been a pleasure
    Reppin' 'til my last second through
    Done a lot of shit they'll never get to do
    I'd like to say it's been a pleasure
    Honored to be somebody they mention

    They say that you never really know
    What you got 'til it's gone and can't touch it (touch it)
    If it look too good to be true, you can't trust it (trust it)
    If you never had it (had it) then you can never miss it (miss it)
    But looks can be deceivin', so don't you get it twisted (twisted)
    Walked a lot of miles in these old school J's (J's)
    Thought of many ways, lookin' at back in the days (days)
    Like how to climb from in between a rock, and a hard place
    How to keep your cool when you're dealin' with a hard case (with a hard case)
    And how to duck, when the judge throw the book at you (the book at you)
    And it's a two-sided mirror that you're lookin' through (you're lookin' through)
    The phone receiver's in your hand starin at your child (child)
    And your heart skips a beat every time they smile (smile)
    See that's how real life is and how it can be (can be)
    And how it's deeper then just comin' down candy (candy)
    So I'm just tryin' to play the cards that they hand me
    For those that overstood me, understand me
    It's been a pleasure

    Emotions in this game run deep
    So before these haters kill me in my sleep
    I'd like to say it's been a pleasure
