[Verse 1]
[Em]
Grand Hustle Pimp...
Hey, what's happenin' [A]shorty?
[Em]Me being a true pl[C]ayer and a[Em]ll
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 shit 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 muthafuckers in the trap,
y'all didn't know.

[Verse 2]
[Chorus:] Man, I told you [Em]so
They thought a pimp wasn't
supposed to blow
[G]Becau[Em]se 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
Nigga, 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.

[Verse 3]
[T.I.:] [Em]Way
back when Kriss- Kross was
hollerin' "Jump" on [G]your tube
They [A]was still [Em]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
Fuck a hater, let 'em do what [G]it do
[Em]I'm [A]busy now,
[Em]but I'll be through in a few
And then I'm comin' for you
So keep shit talkin' like
it's somethin' to do
I'll spend a 100 grand get a
killer somethin' to do
I been hustlin' since 92' when I
[G]heard UGK
[A]Hollerin' "Pocket [Em]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 [G]stacks
I was [Em]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 [A]uncles? [Em]man? a chip off the old block
The nigga you hear now the same
one from off the old block
Who used to stand on Front St. and
get off the old block.

[Verse 4]
[Chorus:] Man, I told you [Em]so
They thought a pimp wasn't
supposed to blow
[G]Becau[Em]se 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
Nigga, 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.

[Verse 5]
I remember the P$C, Mr. Mike, [Em]David
Banner and me and Young Blood[A]s
[Em]Ran through Atlanta with heat,
when even Atlanta was sleep
Nigga, 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
[G]Since then, my nam[A]e ran[Em]g 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.

[Verse 6]
[Chorus:] Man, I told you [Em]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 [A]AK [Em]had the coldest flow
Nigga, 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.

[Verse 7]
This southern [Em]rap shit of the day
is something I helped design
[G]Puerto Rico of [A]the mix sho[Em]w I'll let
you know who the next in line
The Snowman, Paul Wall, the Thug?
Alot of other niggas shouldn't
of even been signed
That's a opinion of mine
Because these niggas be neglectin'
the grind
Ain't waitin' [A]on nobody [Em]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 niggas mind?
Man don't get me to lyin'
I seen [A]your [Em]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'.

[Verse 8]
[Chorus:] Man, I told [Em]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 [A]AK [Em]had the coldest flow
Nigga, 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.
