T.I. Vs T.I.P. Tell Em I Said That Lyrics

[Intro]
Ay, ay, ay, ay
For as long as I remember I been tellin y'all man
to pull these n____z résumé (ay, ay, ay, ay)
You better check up on these n____z
These n____z be lyin man
These n____z ain't really kickin this s___ they be tellin y'all man
They wanna see y'all get f___ed up out there man
Man keep your eyes on me n____
Don't believe what these n____z tell you man
I'm tryin to tell ya partner!

[Chorus]
These n____z ain't cool, what they rap about these n____z ain't do
Hear 'em say it but it really ain't true
You n____z ain't true, you n____z ain't really totin tools
Don't be no fool, you better take yo' a__ to school
Cause these n____z ain't G, gangsta's somethin these n____z can't be
What you expect? These n____z ain't me
You n____z ain't rich, you n____z ain't really gettin bricks
It's official man, you n____z ain't s___
Tell 'em I said that

[T.I.]
These n____z lyin e'ry time you hear 'em rhymin
Hear 'em talkin 'bout they diamonds and how they be out there shinin
'Fore the rappin, hey what trappin, tell y'all they be out there grindin
I know they ain't 'bout that action, I'm tellin y'all I'm around 'em
They probably tried to come in the hood and sell weed
Think it's all good 'til they run into some real G's
Holla, tell us where it is and I promise we'll leave
Hesitate to say and boy them lawmen will squeeze
Please, pay attention to this part of the book
One time, got robbed, got shot, got shook
Got a job, start rhymin, came up with a hook
Got a chain and some tats, came up with a look
Went and made a hit record, talk tough in the book
f___ the image and perception, they never tough as they look
They some m_________in suckas, put it on whatever
Any real n____ know better, man

[Chorus]

[T.I.]
You can't tell, them n____z ain't shell
You get caught, bet them n____z gon' tell
Them n____z don't sell the s___ you ain't gotta put up on a scale
He ask you if it weigh enough, just tell him yeah
You n____z just yell, pull a pistol the n____ gon' bail
If he got a pistol bet he don't spray it, he don't wanna go to jail
And then he'll know he'll be walkin on shells
It's a gladiator school, is you prepared?
I can see these n____z scared, got a problem with me n____ just say it
We can play it how you wanna play it
Better go 'head 'fore that pistol be aimed at yo' head
All the way down here where you gon' lay
You ain't really on the edge, you ain't under suspicion of the Feds
You just tellin them you is instead
You ain't never bust heads but you get behind the mic and just say it
The people oughta know I +MUST+ say it, man

[Chorus]

[T.I.]
You d___ right, you n____z don't have rights
to rap about the s___ I did e'ry night
Did you win e'ry fight? You ever went to jail for sellin white?
Made bond, back in the trap the same night?
You know these n____z lame, right?
I'm speakin on it cause it ain't right
n____z died, I survived, I done earned my stripes
Went to jail, came home, between the time got it right
I'm still tryin to keep from shootin sucka n____z I don't like
Cause the game feel like the real n____z on strike
This sucker get a deal, now he livin so sheist
These n____z outta sight, actin hard, lyin on they record
You know it when you see it, recognize it, don't respect it
Got e'ry right to check 'em when you see 'em in your city
Run up on 'em and try 'em, bet your city they some b____es
n____z tell you what they want you to hear, don't tell me
Real recognize real, eventually they'll see

[Chorus]

Ay, ay, ay
