Bun B and Pimp C formed UGK in the late '80s when their former crew, Four Black Ministers, fell apart. Based in Port Arthur, Texas, UGK signed with Jive and with 1992's 'Too Hard to Swallow' began a series of Southern gangsta rap albums that were successful sellers. Bun B formed the side project Mddl Fngz in 2000, but his main concern was still UGK. Things came to halt in 2003 when Pimp C was sentenced to eight years in prison on an aggravated gun assault charge. Bun B carried on solo, making numerous appearances on other artists' tracks and then in 2005 releasing both the mixtape Legends and his debut album, Trill, a Top Ten hit. With Pimp C seeing early release in late 2005, Bun B returned to UGK and a self-titled double album from the duo dropped in 2007. Tragedy struck in late 2007 when Pimp C died suddenly, leaving Bun B to return to a solo career. His second solo album, II Trill, arrived in May of the next year. Trill O.G., his third solo album, was released in August of 2010.

So what you gonna do?
What you, what you gonna do wit it?

Well, it's the King of the Trill, Bun be on the flip

See me lookin' for something jazzy baby, just like you

So you can call me up and you can pick me up
We can do whatever you wanna do
I know you wanna touch, well, let me know what's up
We can do whatever you wanna do

I spotted you and I noticed how you were lookin' at it
It's up to you, however you want to get at it
Well, make your move
'Cause I'll be waitin' for you tonight, tonight, tonight

You put it down like I know you would
It's me and you alone, boy, let's take our time
Ain't no need to rush, we'll do what's on your mind

You wanna go with a rider, you wanna ball out in style
Well, get behind the wheel with the trill
I'll make it worth your while
I'll show you just how it feels to live like a queen
And cut you out a slice of life, baby that you've never seen

The best cars, clothes, cribs and shine
Not to mention the thug love makin' to blow your mind
Anytime she want more than just a one hitter quitter
She already know, call me up and mayne, I'm comin' to get her
So what you gonna do?
