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.

Reporting live from WKQXL, The Lab
This is Connie Cargen, we have just been informed
That the rapper, Tad Virgil AKA Turk
Was released from the New Orleans Correctional Facility
At 6:30 PM Central time, he is reported to be raw and uncut
And has signed a deal with producer Kenoe
At Laboratory Records, in a record deal worth so much
It made me want to start rapping

His contributions to hip-hop, have been very overlooked
But in a press conference, he said
(I can't be fucked with, nigga)

I know you niggas want know, how I get back on the street
'Cause I bought that time, that was offered to me
Can't hold a nigga like me down, too long
And if you was thinking that, my nigga you dead wrong
I had a hungry lawyer, and he ate the case
One more case, the mad lock on a bad day
Got the charge refused dismissed, and throwed out
Caught it out, when I fuck it every word out your mouth
Convinced the judge, that I'm not guilty
Plus it's rounding the next time, tell me if you feel me
If you don't feel that, you just green as grass
Or duck with orange feet, with your stupid ass
Look back to the subject, I told you I'll be home
Doing my thang again, with a number one song
And blow like the wind, be on top again
Drop another c.d., and sell ten million

[Chorus: x2]
You niggas thought it was over, but it ain't
Thought I couldn't bounce back, nigga you got ganked
Plus I know you niggas, was holding your nuts on me
Hoping that I won't bounce back again, homie

6:30 after roll call, I bounced out of jail
Got my niggas all, took my blanket and I bail
Called the street from H-O-T, central lock up by when
I'm on my way out, boo-koo niggas rolling in
Made my way to the back, waiting to put my clothes on
And while I was waiting, I asked to use that free phone
So I could have a ride, waiting outside
I ain't bout walking dog, I ain't gon even lie
Called my name out the do', now I'm at the front desk
Stare at my hand took my bag, hand me my pop-a-deck
Now I'm waiting at the front do', running out of patience
Cop taking his time, and I'm running out of patience
He finally let me out, and on my way out
Saw my girl in the lobby, with a smile on her mouth
Happy to see a nigga, bout to tear that ass up
'Cause I'm fresh out of jail, and my dick rocked up nigga

Nigga, uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-huh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-huh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-huh, uh Kenoe, Laboratory nigga

I'm bout that, don't get it twisted nigga
'Cause I ain't missing ya heard me uh, uh-huh

Uh-huh nigga, uh-huh, uh-huh nigga

Overall Meaning

The song U Thought It Was Over by Turk makes a triumphant statement about his release from prison and his return to the rap game. The first verse begins with an announcement from the radio station, informing the listeners that Turk has been released from prison and has signed a record deal worth a lot of money. The verse then goes on to criticize the lack of recognition that Turk has received for his contributions to hip-hop. In the chorus, Turk asserts that even though he was in prison, he is not done yet and the haters who thought he was finished were wrong.

The second verse provides a detailed description of Turk's release from prison, including his interactions with his friends and girlfriend. He expresses his impatience with the slower pace of the system and his excitement at getting back to his life on the outside. The final part of the song consists of Turk boasting about his skills and his intentions to dominate the rap game once again, with a catchy repeating refrain and a call-and-response section.

One of the themes of this song is resilience in the face of setbacks. Turk's time in prison was a major obstacle in his career, but he sought the best lawyer possible and was ultimately able to get out and continue pursuing his dreams. He refuses to let the opinions of others get in the way of his success, and his persistence paid off in the form of a new record deal. The song serves as a celebration of his release and a warning to his competitors that he is not to be underestimated.
