The Color Changin' Click signed with Paid in Full Entertainment, a record label owned by the Madd Hatta, and released Get Ya Mind Correct in 2002. It was an instant hit in Houston, selling over 200,000 copies independently and getting nominated by the Source as one of the finalists for the indie album of the year in 2002.
However, disputes over money and artistic direction led to friction between Paul and Cham. They were set to release their second album, Controversy Sells, but the lingering issues led the group to split before the album saw the light of day. Controversy Sells did eventually get released in 2004. Paul decided to return to Swishahouse, while Cham started his own label, Chamillitary Entertainment. His younger brother Rasaq, Yung Ro, 50/50 Twin, and OG Ron C are signed to the label.
While Chamillionaire and Paul Wall have since ended any friction toward each other (after performing Ridin' on BET's 106 & Park, Chamillionaire confirmed that he and Paul Wall had settled all problems towards each other, citing that it had taken "so long" to get to where they were in their success), Chamillionaire has contemplated working with his estranged business partner again and even touring together.

Paul Wall & Chamillionaire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They think I'm a drug deala, I'm dealin large
Cause I'm playin with more diamonds, than a deck of cards
My wrist light up the room like a bubbling light
I'm not your bud but I shine kinda like Bud Light
I'm thoed but you can catch me macking somethings is yella (Yellow)
Sippin coconut rum with a lil umbrella
Game shooter, I take trips to the Bramuter so many cars
Screens fall like snow on a vacation to Alaska
Fly to Nebraska for a date with Toni Braxton
Ice look like a drunk princess shaving her legs
Princess cuts from my toes to the braids of my head
I'm bolted down, I got more bolts than home depot
Crawlin low like a bettle more fly than a seagul
For my people I'm a leader give them somthing to folla (Follow)
My Roley's show time but this ain't the Apolla.
[Chorus]
Whoa
I feeling so really thoed that I can't po
Run that Courvoisier put it on the flo (Floor)
Body froze mouth glows why you think those
Fools follow close tryin to get my pasos
Ice bubbles color shows like a rainbow
Never show tell me somethin that I don't know
They can't believe its not butter on my bank roll
Money froze but I'm sure I need moe
[Chamillionaire]
Look, look its Chamillion the rap ruler
I run with a black crewer
Niggas that give a round of applause and clap rugers
Being in black cruisers, sip drank outta fat coolers
And being in every chinese restaurant like fat buddahs
Man we stack movers, everydays a pay day Only thing I do Free is that girl next to AJ
This ain't 106 and Park stay shifts and park
The great start the bloody rims keep forgetting to start
Gotta get them things fixed, buy but I can't tip
No chasing my drink mix, but hoes want to take sips
Nah I think not, see you couldn't get shots
If you were the blood doin the crip walk
And get caught by yourself on a crip block
The cheese be gotsta be more than just our noodles & meat on our pasta
See through in imposta, you got some locked lips
Ain't gotta buy Doritos cause we already got chips, nigga.
[Chorus]
[Paul Wall]
They think I work for Kellogs mouth full of Frosted Flakes
I wreck the mic like if you drivin and lost your brakes
My mouth got ice shattered with princess cuts swollen
I'm the ish like if I had a uncontrollable collen
I'm thoed but you can see me mackin somthings that's chocolate
Sippin' on some lemon squeeze with a cherry on top it
Game damager I take trips up to canada
So many cars I got more keys than a janitor
Crawlin low like a tarantula, here I come grab your camera
Even though I'm a rookie I'm still far from an amateur
Its the trunk dismantler from Antawn Drive
But catch me being on satellite over in Cancun live
My screens fall kinda similar to coconuts
I'm trying to keep my pockets fatter than Oprah's butt
I'm sitting crooked and thoed, wide squatted and slow
It goes down boy you already know - hahaaa
[Chorus] - (3X)
In "Balla Talk II" by Paul Wall and Chamillionaire, the rappers boast about their wealth and success. Paul Wall starts off by stating that people think he is a drug dealer because he is dealing with expensive diamonds. He describes his wrist as illuminating the room like a bubbling light and compares his shine to Bud Light. Wall admits to being "thoed," but still enjoys upscale activities, such as drinking coconut rum with a little umbrella. He brags about owning many cars and possessing more keys than a computer, and his screens fall like snow on a vacation to Alaska. Chamillionaire joins in by rapping about his association with a group of black people who carry guns, applaud, and own financial assets. He boasts about his ability to stack movers and receive payment every day. There is a blood and crip-color reference meaning that he is well protected because he has a lot of cash. The two rappers continue to describe their lifestyle by referencing luxury food experiences, possessing extensive jewelry collections, and driving expensive cars.
The lyricist indirectly point out the significance of having money and power in society. Someone with a great deal of both will always be respected or even feared, especially if they can back up their claims. The ignorant assumption many assume about people with money is that they are involved in illegal activity such as dealing drugs. The lyrics also inform the audience about themes in hip-hop music that have been around since its inception. Ownership of wealth, owning big cars, and having the newest technology are popular symbols of wealth in the African-American community.
