Turk, born Tab Virgil, Jr. in 1981 in New Orleans, Louisiana, is an African-American rapper, member of the hip hop group Hot Boys
Turk was first discovered in 1996 when he was rapping for Cash Money Records (brothers Ronald “Slim” Williams and Bryan “Baby” Williams ) Later that same year, he made his debut with a cameo on Juvenile’s solo debut, “Solja Rags”. He was welcomed into the newly formed Hot Boys (who also included Juvenile, B.G., and Lil’ Wayne), issuing “Get It How You Live!” in 1997 and “Guerilla Warfare” (which would eventually go platinum) two years later.
He continued to make cameos on other rapper’s recordings, including Juvenile’s big hits “400 Degreez” and “Tha G-Code”, Lil’ Wayne’s “Tha Block Is Hot” and “Lights Out”, as well as B.G.’s “It’s All on You, Vol. 1” and “It’s All on You, Vol. 2”. June 2001 saw the release of Turk’s solo debut, “Young and Thuggin’” on Universal Records. His first solo album also coincided with the dissolution of the Hot Boys and the departure of B.G. and Juvenile from the Cash Money label over a royalties dispute with CEO Bryan Williams . While He cut another album, “Untamed Guerilla”, for Cash Money as a follow-up to “Young and Thuggin’” but it was never released as he became embroiled in a similar contractual conflict as Juvenile and B.G.
In 2003, Turk followed B.G. to Koch Records, where he recorded “Raw and Uncut”, technically his second solo album.
Turk is currently serving a sentence of 10 years for attempted murder on a federal agent during a drug raid.

Turk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm more popular than most
I got friends in every barroom in town
They greet me every night
And we rarely ever fight
And they know what to do when the tears start Comin' down
Yeah they treat me all so great
Oh, I never met a group that could be so nice
But your gut better be hardy
Cause they sure do like to party
And you can't find it weird when they all come served on ice
I said, all my friends are glass bottles
And they've all got famous names
I know it may sound absurd
Since they can't say a word
But they're all my best friends just the same
I got a friend request today
I couldn't wait to press OK
Cause in that photo was a face that I knew well
Out of all, ain't no one finer
In that photo was a Shiner
So raise your glasses please, and let's all yell
I said, all my friends are glass bottles
And they've all got famous names
I know it may sound absurd
Since they can't say a word
But they're all my best friends just the same
I said, all my friends are glass bottles
And they've all got famous names
I know it may sound absurd
Since they can't say a word
But they're all my best friends just the same
Yes, they're all my best friends, just the same
Yes, they're all my best friends, just the same

Well I'm not one to boast
I don't usually brag or boast about myself
I'm more popular than most
I have a larger social circle than most people
I got friends in every barroom in town
I have friends in every bar in town
They greet me every night
They welcome me warmly every night
And we rarely ever fight
We almost never argue or fight with each other
And they know what to do when the tears start Comin' down
They know how to comfort me when I'm feeling sad or crying
Yeah they treat me all so great
They treat me incredibly well
I'll try and illustrate
Let me give you an example to explain
Oh, I never met a group that could be so nice
I have never encountered a group of people who are as kind as them
But your gut better be hardy
You need to have a strong stomach
Cause they sure do like to party
Because they really enjoy partying
And you can't find it weird when they all come served on ice
You can't be surprised when they are all served chilled on ice
I said, all my friends are glass bottles
I mean, all my friends are actually glass bottles
And they've all got famous names
And each of them has a well-known brand or name
I know it may sound absurd
I understand it may sound ridiculous or strange
Since they can't say a word
Because they cannot speak or communicate
But they're all my best friends just the same
But they are still my closest and dearest friends
I got a friend request today
I received a request to be friends with someone today
I couldn't wait to press OK
I was excited to accept the request
Cause in that photo was a face that I knew well
Because in that photo was a familiar face
Out of all, ain't no one finer
Out of all, there is no one better or more impressive
In that photo was a Shiner
In that photo was a bottle of Shiner beer
So raise your glasses please, and let's all yell
So let's all raise our glasses and cheer together
Yes, they're all my best friends, just the same
Yes, they are still my closest and dearest friends
