Interlude： For Us By Us - Solange
And they offered me a million dollar deal
and had the check ready
Said I wouldn't be able to use my name
I was fighting my brother because
Man you shoulda took the million dollars
I said 'No what you think I'm worth
If this white man offer me a million dollars
I gotta be worth forty or fifty...
Or ten or something
To being able to make "Forbes" and come from the Projects
You know "Top 40 Under 40"
Which they said couldn't be done
Had twenty records on the top "Billboard" at one time
For an independent company
Black owned company
You know going to the white lady's house
where my Grandmother lived at and say
Look you don't have to work here no more Big Mama
We got more money than the people on St Charles Street
And I I took that anger and said I'mma put it into my music
I tell people all the time
if you don't understand my record
you don't understand me so this is not for you
