"Pump It Up" came out, was a hit all over the country
And so I figured all over they'd want me, Yeah
The buzz was there and the feeling was timely
And Kev said that he would put the whole building behind me, Yeah
the whole office Daps me freely
And Mr. Cohen always seems so happy to see me
Im treated like a new man, musta got a facelift
This what I dreamed of welcome to the matrix
BET rated me "Next" we coming up Jersey
Air time, MTV Buzzworthy
If that aint make things final
The song playd all throughout the World Series and the NBA Finals
Wrap up ya album Joey its goin out now
Only problem is my voice is goin out now
Doc said I need a surgey to fix it
And if something goes wrong it could be permanitly TWIST-TED!
Now thats something I can't afford
So steroid shots in my abbs just so I could record
The more I talk its ruining my chords and on top of it all
Now Def Jam wants ya boy on tour
This is important you can't back out
Its good exposure and 112's coming back out
Im on their second single and their on mine
Im bout to shine June 10th yup its time BUT WAIT!
Something must be wrong with the soundscan
Thats when it all started to go down man
Am I wrong or what here?
"Toos Fast.." Soundtrack did great and my song was on there
And things the way it seems
The [?] commercial
Pumping It Up with my face on screen
Had to change my second single cuz theres two 112's/Joe Buddens
But Theirs turned into 112/Luda
Lil Jon called me for the "Get Low" Remix
But Lyor was goin through some TVT sh-t
Then they went and kept Joe off of the "Roc The Mic" tour
Somebody probably thought Joey would rock the mic more
Left the country did a single with J-LO
But with my luck I knew Columbia would say "No"
Radio hates "Fire" nah they wont try it
But they love that Rah Digga song that sounds just like it
Wanna keep me under dog, Im the underdog
And they don't want ya'll to see up under the fog, so ya'll
Tell every man in the hood
Gold album one single I'd say im doin hella d*** good
Listen here Def Jam, are you deaf man?
Politics aside please don't interject fam
Listen to my sh-t now listen to the rest d***
Im Tay Diggs the best man, thats without a "Yes Man"
3 hundread thou budget I eject fam
Did that the last time and I still repped d***
M.H. THANK YOU
Pharell THANK YOU
Jim Jones THANK YOU
Lil Mo' THANK YOU
Sad part now is when I walk by
And I see Mr. Cohen he can't even say "Hi"
But Im a new man I feel like I got a facelift
This is what I dreamed of time to tackle the matrix
