Letra

Good evening ladies and gentlemen

How you doing out there tonight?

We have a special guest in the house

The illustrious Suga Tongue Slim

We're gonna sit down and talk with him

So Slim, where you from?

Southwest ATL, Ralph Lauren to the socks

Can't you motherfuckin' tell?

West end to the point, **** that's my joint

People know me round there so I can go where I want

The name Suga Tongue Slim, how'd you come up with that?

Well just listen to the word play displayed in the raps

And besides all that, I'm a goddamn mack

Try to keep it PC but see **** want facts

Now how'd you get started as an artist?

Did you always wanna MC?

Nah, I wanted to be a MD

And I ain't talking Dre beats, speak like Ye beats

From the soul when I speak in prose or in poetry

Used to do slam just to make a little cash

So with these words I'll bust **** ass

My bad, don't mean to cut you off but looking at your writing

I can see the poet background, it's not that surprising

Realizing that, what made you choose to rap?

**** told me I should write one, it ended up a nice one

Next thing you know, I was just nice son (word, word, I was just nice)

Now is it true you used to meddle in the mack game and wreck brains

Of pretty young things who'd do whatever for the change?

I claim responsibility, a couple hoes literally

Was on the right path 'til they met my ass

My bad, my flaw, I saw opportunity and took it

I don't sell crack nor do I cook it

So look it, my crooked connect put me in check

This is how the game goes, got my pimpin' correct

Now may I interject, how'd you go from poetry to pimpin'?

They both just seem sorta different

Well actually the way they use words is what attracted me naturally

Besides the perks of pussy and the salary that's tax-free

But fact be a little book unbeknown to most

And I ain't talkin' champagne when I prose a toast

The most elegant embellishments of street life

And I was at a point in time I couldn't see right

Wow, seems like you've seen a lot in your life

So let's switch gears and talk about your peers on the mic

Who you like?

Uhh, of course I'm a Cass fan

Jay, B.I.G., Nas, 50, Eminence and Redman

But damn, now who did I forget to say?

I like the Roots, oh yeah, Common Sense and Kanye

Weezy F is in the deck, Tip I do respect

Clips fans since "Goddamn" and "Plus Live" and then my man

Stay P and The Lox, I wanna thank Free

For hoppin' on the track "Free" and shouts out to Peedi P

Now tell me this, on your songs when you say "GOLD"

What you talkin' 'bout?

Nah man, I'm saying "GOLD"

It's an acronym, gentlemen of leisure and development

I'm tryna get the whole world yellin' it

Okay, tell a bit about Demand More and what's changed

Shit, I don't know, more motherfuckers know my name?

Nah it's been cool, people really take notice

I got some things in the works but it's my main focus

My greatest opus still yet to come, I'm just some

At the stu' with Groove and them tryna make a move with him

Uh-huh, so it's the new age, internet's the new craze

People have a way of putting music out in new ways

Does that affect you, good or bad, what would you say?

My whole Demand More campaign is internet based

Obviously the piracy's a problem but the irony

Is **** whole album ain't even worth buying B

It's the artists who are artists that suffer

Talking real rap ****, not the ringtone motherfuckers

An independent seeing numbers like the majors

Labels ain't putting in the labor, they can't foresee the paper

All they see is views on the YouTube

And nah I ain't impressed by these new dudes, they doo-doo

So who is Suga Slim and why should I buy into him?

For the same reasons that you don't buy into them

See I extend myself to you with every verse I do

It's purpose in my poetry that's deeper than the booty do

Remnants of hootie-hoo like Dre before the dreads

Southernplayalisticadillac music still in my head

Still in my mind I find time to find polished jewels

So when I shine it looks good on you

Well thank you STS for your time, I know you stay on your grind

For extra footage you can check us out online

Before we go, is anything else you wanna let 'em know?
