Lyrics

[Intro] Woah Uh, uh, uh You're now listening to "The Growth Woah Uh, uh, uh ([?]) Uh, uh, uh You're now listening to "The Growth Oh [Verse] "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 feelin' 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 I'm treated like a new man, I musta got a facelift This is what I dreamed of; welcome to the matrix BET rated me "Next" we coming up Jersey Air time, MTV Buzzworthy If that ain't make things final The song played all throughout the World Series and the NBA Finals Wrap up ya album Joey; it's goin' out now Only problem is, my voice is goin' out now Doc said I need a surgery to fix it And if something goes wrong it could be permanently TWIST-TED! Now thats something I can't afford So steroid shots in my ass just so I could record The more I talk, its ruining my cords, and on top of it all Now Def Jam wants ya boy on tour "This is important; you can't back out It's good exposure, and 112's coming back out" I'm on their second single, and they're on mine I'm 'bout to shine June 10th yup it's time BUT WAIT! Something must be wrong with the SoundScan That's when it all started to go down, man Am I wrong, or what here? 2 Fast Soundtrack did great, and my song was on there And things the way it seems The Wow Vol. 7 commercial Pumping It Up with my face on screen Had to change my second single 'cause there's two 112's/Joe Budden's But theirs turned into 112/Luda Lil Jon called me for the "Get Low" Remix But Lyor was goin' through some TVT shit (Get low) 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 won't try it But they love that Rah Digga song that sounds just like it Wanna keep me under, dawg, I'm the underdog And they don't want y'all to see up under the fog, so y'all Tell every man in the hood Gold album one single, I'd say I'm doin' hella damn good Listen here, Def Jam, are you deaf, man? Politics aside, please don't interject, fam (No) Listen to my shit now; listen to the rest damn I'm Taye Diggs, The Best Man, that's without a "Yes Man" Three hundred thou' budget, I object, fam Did that the last time, and I still repped damn M.H. - thank you; Pharrell - 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 I'm a new man, I feel like I got a facelift This is what I dreamed of time to tackle the matrix
