What Happened

We was just planning the album the other day

I never thought I'd be making this song

That shit crazy

But uh

I don't know where to start, but

When I first met you, all you talked about about was Wu-Tang movement

Then I introduced you to this Cocaine Muzik

And every other day you express 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 doing the deal with Jay

I got my first number one and you was on the run with me

Never want to leave the country 'cause I'd have to take my gun with me

You wasn't with the gangster shit, but yet you still hung with me

Next time I go to Disney I'ma 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 fly by

It's like I knew you a whole lifetime, my ****

We accomplished so much shit, we talked about so much shit, we done so much shit, like

You know me, I'm a stubborn motherfucker like I ain't listenin' to nobody, like

I'm just moving however I'm moving, and like

You was just that **** that always could get through to me

I don't even know, like, how you was able to do it, like

When the whole shit about

They were tryna get me to go overseas for years and years and I ain't give a fuck

How much money it was, I just, I wasn't moving like that 'cause

All my **** was convicted felons

I couldn't get the straps across the motherfuckin' customs

Like I just can't move like that, bro, you know what I mean?

And I remember like, Sylvia Rhone calling me late at night, like

"You really need to do this for your career, this and that and

Be on the biggest record in Europe right now," and

I still was like, fuck it, you know what I mean, like

I wasn't even trippin'

And you were like, "Bro, we gotta go, man, we gotta go international, we gotta"

I'm like, "Man, look brah, I ain't fucking with it, brah, they did on that"

You know what I'm saying?

I call you back the same night like, "We're going to London"

We used to walk inside the office, get them people hell

I knew you were loyal when your partner went to jail

You never missed a court date, you stayed on the lawyer

And I know Big Mims is gon' make sure he was really for you

You used to tell me to my face when I was bullshit

Like if you ain't tryna win, I'll go do some other shit

I respect you for that more than you ever know

I had issues with ****, you told me let it go

You helped me realize I was bigger than just a street ****

Took your advice, got security but I still keep my pistols though

Yeah, took your advice, got security but I still keep them pistols though

See, like

I remember we used to go back and back and forth about

Man, you gettin' too much money to be, like

Ridin' 'round with all the crazy ass guns and

I understand them your **** 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 shit did go in one ear and out the other ear 'cause

I'm just from that culture homie, like word

I just don't see nobody protecting me like me

These young **** with me gon' die with me, brah, like

I'ma die with them and it's understood, so

I just always felt like there's this security, we're our own security

You told me Youngsta a superstar, but that **** crazy

I introduced you to Beg, you said he amazing

We both were fucked up by Snooty, we had a plan for him

We knew he had his lil' issue, but we were prayin' for him

I remember you called me excited, saying you had talked to 'Ye

I can't lie I was geeked, I'm like, "What'd he say?"

You was on some shit, like

"My guys, they wanna work with you"

"I ain't gon' even front, like, you had told me all the 'Ye stories and shit"

"We had been working together like, probably a year and a half now, like"

I was like, "Man, I don't even know if you, you fuck with 'Ye like that"

You know what I'm saying?

I was just being G, and then you were like

"Nah, for real, like he wanna work with you"

I'm like, "When?" You're like, "Tomorrow"

****, shit was so crazy 'cause you know I don't even like flyin', like

****, I went jump on a motherfuckin' Southwest flight, like

**** sittin' way in the back

**** ain't give a fuck, ****, like

We was on the first thang, smokin' **** to L.A.

We goin' to work with Kanye

Shit was crazy

We walked in the studio, this **** was eatin' Popeye's chicken and shit

He was just a cool ass ****, like I just

Immediately went straight in droppin' joint after joint after joint after joint

And I ain't give a fuck what it would gon' be or if we're gon' be anything, we're just

Always wanted to work with 'Ye, you knew it

It's crazy

Now I told you I wanted to sign with Jay, you asked me why

You ain't really feel this shit, but you was down to ride

Then we went up to the office, you had a different view

And you were rushing me to sign like this shit was you

You crazy

See, I always knew Manny was your man and shit 'cause you always talked about him, but

We met Ty-Ty and shock hit the air

Remember we sat in the room with Jay

And that **** was just chucking some weird shit to us

We were holdin' our composure on some G shit though

We CMG, you know what I'm sayin'?

We get money too, you feel me?

When we left the office, we were like, "Damn"

I mean, **** was just amazed that, like

**** that grew up together built an empire together

And I was really motivated by that

That day I told ya, that's how I wanted me and my brothers to be

And me and my **** to be

And we went to this lil' private party, remember that shit?

Jay got them to pop the Ace, and

That shit spilled all on the table and shit

I remember you pulled me to the side, you were like

"I've been in the game a long time, this like

The very, very first time I felt like a artist"

You were telling me like you felt like a artist, you were like

"****, I'll sign the contract right now if they bring that motherfucker out"

Damn

If I knew talking to you was my last time

The other night it wouldn't have been about no CM9

I would've let you know I value your participation

I would've thank you for you patience and your conversations

No, you don't 'posed to question God, you went somewhere better

But we supposed to got rich and go on retire together

What happened?

I don't know how can I go on?

Continue to stay strong

Continue to pray hard

Keep giving your name off

And we gon' just make more

It was really nights like this

When I could call ya

And you can pick the phone up

'Cause you was my partner

You was my number one jackets

But they been dreaming all of my vision

And I can't thank you enough
