"Cant trust what each other say atleast for a month, or 2"

You tell them feds I said I'm never goin back
I'm from Marcy, and Marcy don't raise no rat
You know the consequences of your acts, you can't be serious


It's a dice game, and sometimes you crap
Who woulda thought you'd get popped one time and rat?
Now you know that's bad when your sister is mad
And your son gotta grow up like, "This is my dad?"
The labeling of a snitch is a lifetime scar
You'll always be in jail *****, just minus the bars

Ross had a interesting path

People forget he was signed to Suave House and his original debut from like 2001 got shelved.

"Suave House Records’ Tony Draper was the person who originally discovered Ross in 2000, but after a botched distribution deal for the album, he released Ross, so he could sign with Slip-N-Slide in 2002.

“Ross was signed to me in 2000 — I found him,” Draper told Billboard. “I’m the key to the south. Unfortunately, I was in a bad situation with Jcor Entertainment. I had a joint venture deal with Jcor, who had their distribution deal with Interscope Records. Jcor was supposed to supply marketing dollars, but they didn’t. They only paid $500,000 on a $5 million tab. So to not tie up my artist, I allowed Ross to go to Slip-N-Slide Records in 2002.”
