For Us By Us (Interlude)
(专辑: A Seat At The Table - 2016)
[Master P:] "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."
