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 βSlimβ Williams and Bryan βBabyβ Williams ) Later that same year, he made his debut with a cameo on Juvenileβs solo debut, βSolja Ragsβ. He was welcomed into the newly formed Hot Boys (who also included Juvenile, B.G., and Lilβ Wayne), issuing βGet It How You Live!β in 1997 and βGuerilla Warfareβ (which would eventually go platinum) two years later.
He continued to make cameos on other rapperβs recordings, including Juvenileβs big hits β400 Degreezβ and βTha G-Codeβ, Lilβ Wayneβs βTha Block Is Hotβ and βLights Outβ, as well as B.G.βs βItβs All on You, Vol. 1β and βItβs All on You, Vol. 2β. June 2001 saw the release of Turkβs solo debut, βYoung and Thugginββ 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, βUntamed Guerillaβ, for Cash Money as a follow-up to βYoung and Thugginββ 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 βRaw and Uncutβ, 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 ↴
Why, why, why
Why, why
Cash Money, rich niggas
Look
Loud pipes, big rims
Nigga, that's my life
I know a lot of haters probably sayin' that that's not right
Well, my diamonds so much bigger
So, that's my life
Bling Bling
Now, I only carry big faces and you hear the ching, ching
Now, you can ask your wife and she will say the same thin'
And your children be amazed when they see me on the big screen
Ha, ha, ha
I crack myself up
I know I talk lot but I can back myself up
Got a little house on the beach that's where I shack myself up
You ain't really got more money than me
Think about it
Let's just say somebody gave me a check and took the ink up out it
So I just bought a new Rollie and got to take a link up out it
And me with no ice is like a Prince concert that ain't crowded
They see the Beam, and the truck, and the B-12
And we was next
Then that's when I pull up in the B-E-L
Le-Le-Lex
I'm on fire
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
We on fire
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
Juvenile used to be R-T-A bound
Now I be bustin' these bitches head when I come 'round
Acting like a nigga that ain't never had shit
Look into my bed sayin' that's a mad hit
I'll damned if these diamonds and golds ain't shinin'
My Rollie ain't windin' my bank ain't climbin'
You lookin at a multi-millionaire in the flesh
Might don't have it now, but I just got me a check
I can walk it like I talk it, play it how I say it
Teach it like I preach it, now, put that in your head
Nigga, bet a thousand, shoot a thousand, ain't nuttin'
Smoke a pound, pop the Cristal and drink somethin'
Meet me in the casino, way in the back
Losin' money like a motherfucker, still shootin' craps
Tomorrow I'll be back, I got millionaire status
We make so much money IRS be lookin' at us
I'm on fire
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
We on fire
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
I got more ends than Bunny have in a factory
I'm Lil Turk, I'm livin' large
Got the baddest hoes after me
Picture me, a young nigga ballin' out of control
Playing with millions, laying in condos
Nigga I shine, shine through the fuckin' week
The fliest ride with Cristal in the passenger seat
Don't hate me, cause I'm a little baller
Got more weight than Angola
Fucking your girl Carla
Nigga I stunt
And I'mma a stunt til I can't no more
Chest lit up like the oaks
From the diamonds I sport
Yo, I can't be touched
Don't think I'm too much, nigga I'm rich what the fuck
Rolex crushed out with the bezel
And in order for hoes to get close to me got to be on my schedule
I got so much money
I don't know what to do
Buy houses and cars
And break bread with my crew
I'm on fire
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
We on fire
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
B.G. on fire
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
It's like, monkey see, monkey do
Rollin' with the Cash Money runners I stay true
Cause when were runnin' and climbin' on the million-dollar scene
Holding together, know what I mean, know what I mean
When I bring out the rubber around the Hummer
Don't nobody have a Benz or the Lex Bubble
When I start they said I had no fame
Now all the girls just end up calling my name
Ten G's to (?)
Fax the contract to big Cash Money
Cause you know this whole clique right with me
They're right with me
Sip-pe-di-dy
Won't count the diamonds just around my neck
X amount of dollars on a bankroll check
If you want to really come and sing with me
Those that got me wicked, then I do some free
For free

Sip-pe-di-dy
The sound of him sipping champagne with his friends

If you want to be as successful as him, you better be prepared for a wild ride
Those that got me wicked, then I do some free
He's generous with his fans and supporters

They were ahead of the game on this. Wayneβs word play was on another level. Juvies swag, and Turks flow were next level and this beat was a decade early. π₯ This could drop in 2021.
Ben Lorentz
I don't know about 2021. You can actually hear them clearly and they have great delivery and vocals. 2020 on up rappers, just Mumble Gibberish. Hot garbage π sells nowadays, but this song is a deep south masterpiece. These young kids don't know about this; they think Tekashi go hardπ
Edward Garcia
Actually this beat just dropped again lol with nardo wick and lil baby
Top Rankin Beats
β@Ben Lorentzlike he said it can drop in 2021.Your saying this beat or song couldn't drop in 2021 because their not mumbling.I guess your just being sarcastic this beat was definitely ahead of its time.Thats why some rappers are remixing these same beats cuz they was fire π₯
Top Rankin Beats
I agree this beat could drop in even 2023 and it would be lit

Imagine bumpin this in your car picking up your high schooler today. The young know nothing how good this era of rap was. No auto tune
Jimmy Spruill
Oh trust me I know, I'm glad my dad played this type of music around me, them was the good old days, even know I'm about to be 17, but I heard this song when I was 11 years old
