[Intro]
Man, listen. Ask me anything you want, I’mma keep it a hundred
(I’d expect nothing less)
All the time, Ben Frank n*gga, I been frank, n*gga
(Pff, Ben Frank, haha)
Pause, (Yeah, gotta pause that) you know what the f*ck I mean though?
(I dunno. After all these years, you know, you been through a few different situations. Ups and downs. Lookin' back now, in hindsight, do you have regrets? Anything you would have done differently?)
This is Rock after Price (x2)
[Verse 1]
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, man listen
Some times when I look at n*ggas who came in the game same time frame as me, I’m ashamed of me
I probably f*cked it all up, like a lame for greed
Or a stupid ass contract complication (see)
When my team and Priority parted ways they (schemed)
Said, everybody free to go and do their thang but (me)
What?
First plane to LA, I breezed
So I ain’t gotta do some ‘splainin’, B
(That's the CEO of Priority)
He sayin' to me "Rock, I’m not saying you can’t leave, what I’m asking is, can you stay with me?”
He offered me bread, a lot, sh*t was the same to me
I went straight to Dru-Ha, he was like “take it, B”
I was lost
He was like listen, “the game is changing, B, and deals ain’t fallin' off trees these days, go eat” so I did it
But lookin’ back I shoulda stayed with the team
Drew coulda hooked another label with me, maybe
[Break]
Now what I’m saying is
Back then I was that n*gga in the Boot Camp, it's like you know no disrespect to my n*ggas but like, if son woulda tried to get at Def Jam, or Loud or somebody that knew what do with us, they coulda looked, "Without Rock?" You understand what I’m sayin’? that mighta been a problem, know what I mean? anyway...
[Verse 2]
My lawyer was like, let’s get you a bit more paper, (schweet!)
And that sh*t right there is what made n*ggas beef
sh*t halted the process, I’m broke and starvin’, waitin’ to eat
But it was all my fault, basically, I’m talkin’ flagrantly
Trippin’, but one of you n*ggas could have came to me
What the f*ck? Ruck, Starang, ST?
I ain’t that tough, ya’ll could have told me hey you tweakin’
But let me not shift the blame, it was me, I was in way too deep
(Hey) But that set the stage for P
Me and Priority split for good but I made some cream
Went back to 'em later, finalized the papers to leave
When I met DJ Lethal through Rico [?]
(Huh) Amazingly the day I leave one situation, we done found a better one, crazy cheese
Limp Bizkit, Interscope, I’m in the majors B
But now Limp Bizkit and Shady beefin’
[Break]
sh*t was crazy!
sh*t was crazy out here at that time, it was like pffff! You know how the game go, like, these n*ggas beefin’ and I’m like what the f*ck we gotta write bars for Em now? We f*cking love Eminem! (I mean we got bars, we got bars) Long story short, like that sh*t happened, and.. I’m not sayin’ Eminem got my n*gga Lethal kicked off the label and all that, but uhm…All I know is...
[Verse 3]
Interscope dropped the label with speed (pyong)
But the album stayed with me
Thought to myself, two deals gone, maybe it’s me
So I fell back like, let me learn some thangs, let me see
My girl at the time asked how much would it take to release
And I had no clue
And she was getting’ cake, believe me, I had to learn
Meanwhile I’m playin’ in the streets, livin’ dangerously
I was gettin' dough so it was okay with me
Live with regrets, words from the grave, J to the Z
I was able to live with all that 'til eight-eight-fifteen
All that sh*t really hurt my man, he didn’t say it to me
I ain’t know, but I know it now, Bernadette made me see
(I’m so sorry) I was just tryin’ to take the lead
(I’m sorry) wantin' to come tell ya to ya face, but I mean it we had it
sh*t shoulda been simple as A-B-C, now it’s just R-O-C-K-A-P
I hate me (I hate me, I hate me, I hate me...)
[Outro]
This is Rock after Price (x2)
n*gga I just don’t give a f*ck
This is Rock after Price (x2)
n*gga I just don’t give a f*ck
n*gga I just don't give a f*ck
