School ya'll to somethin right quick
Sit down, open your ears, close your eyes, listen

Here's a little story that I got to tell
About this chico named Pit everyone knows so well
Illmatic like Nas but that ain't hard to tell
Owes it all to Dade County and the ATL
Picked rap and skipped the triple beam scale
And it's a known fact he gon' die before he fails
These boys rap about hustlin' but can't make bail
I call that hustling backwards and that's real
Miami's hot so I can vacation in hell
The way the game is shit, man, I mind as well
I look at these fools on camera flashin they tools

They must've forgot the streets got codes and rules
But me, I'm confused
'Cause rappers wanna be gangstas
Gangstas wanna be rappers
Ballers wanna be rappers
And rappers wanna be ballers
The truth is its more sickening than Ebola
Until they handcuff then its over
Pop up no dandruff, no neck, just head and shoulders
Bust guns, sell drugs, that's what the streets showed us
But corporate America, that's what they sold us

Pitbull is a Cuban-American MC, born and raised in Miami, Florida. Nowadays he’s left his MC abilities and centered his career in the Pop and mainstream industry.

In 2001, Pitbull aka Mr.305 signed to Uncle Luke’s Records. There he started his career as MC, throwing out a series of mixtapes under the name of Unleashed. Through Uncle Luke Pitbull came to know people in the movement like Lil'Jon or The Diaz Brothers.

In 2004, Pitbull releases his debut LP, M.I.A.M.I. Acronym of Money Is A Major Issue with the lead single Culo, produced by Lil'Jon and the Diaz Brothers. Culo became a club banger, but the Jamaican artist Mr. Vegas accused Pitbull of copying his “Push Up”. This led to a beef to which Pîtbull responded with “Mr. Vegas Diss”.
