T.I. - Told You So lyrics

[Intro] Grand Hustle Pimp... Hey, what's happenin' shorty? Me being a true player and all I mean you know as a stand up guy you know I really hate to say I told you so But, man I told you so Back when we said we were goin to run this sh** man When we said Pimp Squad Click, Grand Hustle was the business When we said their was a whole 'nother side of Atlanta Another bunch of muthaf**ers in the trap, y'all didn't know. [Chorus:] Man, I told you so They thought a pimp wasn't supposed to blow Because I was rappin' about movin' O's and blow Pimp I told you so They thought that Outkast closed the door And Ludacris came in and sold his 4 Man, I told you so The Mac, C-Rod, Kuntry and Dro And AK had the coldest flow n***a, I told you so I said the future right up under your nose You thought the south wouldn't explode no more Remember, I told you so. [T.I.:] Way back when Kriss-Kross was hollerin' "Jump" on your tube They was still gettin' jumped at school, we used to tote them tools Don't get me wrong I'll give respect to them dudes But approach us wrong, and we'll smoke them fools, ain't no joke it's the truth f** a hater, let 'em do what it do I'm busy now, but I'll be through in a few And then I'm comin' for you So keep sh** talkin' like it's somethin' to do I'll spend a 100 grand get a k**er somethin' to do I been hustlin' since 92' when I heard UGK Hollerin' "Pocket Full of Stones" I was on my way Had a history in the yay, before I started to trap 13, let me take you back farther than that When my uncles was baggin' blocks, used to count the stacks I was only 8, and my grand-daddy can vouch for that And my pops had alot of work, alot of folk he got 'em work And ran numbers, said if he ain't wanna, he ain't gotta work Why I sold rocks, I guess I got from pops My uncles ? man ? a chip off the old block The n***a you hear now the same one from off the old block Who used to stand on Front St. and get off the old block. [Chorus:] Man, I told you so They thought a pimp wasn't supposed to blow Because I was rappin' about movin' O's and blow Pimp I told you so They thought that Outkast closed the door And Ludacris came in and sold his 4 Man, I told you so The Mac, C-Rod, Kuntry and Dro And AK had the coldest flow n***a, I told you so I said the future right up under your nose You thought the south wouldn't explode no more Remember, I told you so. I remember the P$C, Mr. Mike, David Banner and me and Young Bloods Ran through Atlanta with heat, when even Atlanta was sleep n***a, back before you heard of me I was middle man into servin' keys when KC was serving 3 I'm on top because I deserved to be So simmer down, calm your nerves at least Speak your words with peace Before you lay out on the curb deceased Think about it, it's absurd to beat I took my songs to street He told me dope boy was the bomb in the street Since then, my name rang like alarms in the street Who knew how long it would be If only LA knew how wrong he could be I told you ain't nobody stronger than me. [Chorus:] Man, I told you so They thought a pimp wasn't supposed to blow Because I was rappin' about movin' O's and blow Pimp I told you so They thought that Outkast closed the door And Ludacris came in and sold his 4 Man, I told you so The Mac, C-Rod, Kuntry and Dro And AK had the coldest flow n***a, I told you so I said the future right up under your nose You thought the south wouldn't explode no more Remember, I told you so. This southern rap sh** of the day is something I helped design Puerto Rico of the mix show I'll let you know who the next in line The Snowman, Paul Wall, the Thug ? Alot of other n***as shouldn't of even been signed That's a opinion of mine Because these n***as be neglectin' the grind Ain't waitin' on nobody to let me shine, I'm a go get me mine And then they wonder why they checks behind. Cause TIP was 20k? Back in the day, need me to press rewind What be on these n***as mind? Man don't get me to lyin' I seen your kind, dopeboy, and that ain't even you kind Ain't never sold a gram of crack, and ain't no need of your tryin' Back in the trap, pimp I don't see him survivin'. [Chorus:] Man, I told you so They thought a pimp wasn't supposed to blow Because I was rappin' about movin' O's and blow Pimp I told you so They thought that Outkast closed the door And Ludacris came in and sold his 4 Man, I told you so The Mac, C-Rod, Kuntry and Dro And AK had the coldest flow n***a, I told you so I said the future right up under your nose You thought the south wouldn't explode no more Remember, I told you so.
