In “No Deal”, Packy reveals the details of his early rap career. Progressing from the previous song on this album, “517”, which starts at the beginning of his journey, Packy journals his short-lived gig with MTV and the start of booking shows without being known.
[Intro]
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
[Verse 1]
Packin' all my shit, we were puttin' out The Transition
First time I would see a dime
All the sudden MTV up on my line like, "Man, listen
Whatchu think about bein' signed?"
We were like, "Dope, long as we got the control
We just wanna put the music out, man we on a roll"
They were like, "Push it back one month, that's all
We keep it a hundred witchu Pack, like a fastball"
I ain't hear nothin' for the whole month
Got 'em on the line, they need more time
Fans waiting patient for the project
Me and Moe-T feelin' like we had our hands tied
Fuck it, we ain't playin' no more games with the deadline
I'ma need the loot just to move to the west side
They sayin' shit they ain't really with, no chill
Got up on the phone, told those muhfuckas
[Chorus]
No deal, no deal, no deal, no deal, no deal
Bet they with me now, like yeah
Numbers on the board now, yeah
I got everything I wanted back then, whoa now yeah
And I need a little more now, yeah
You gotta be fuckin' with me
[Verse 2]
Yeah yeah
Lotta rappers these days fake indie
I be on the road on my own dime
Lotta people scared to be themself
All they do is copy and they lookin' for the co-sign, fuck that
We put out a Top 10 album
Put my ass on tour, packed in a van
Promoters gave shitty cuts, they ain't never heard of us
But I had to give the love back to the fans, it was like that
I learned quick I had to fight back
If I bend anymore then I might snap
Lookin' at the offer, it's a little low still
Hop up on the phone, tell those muhfuckas
[Chorus]
No deal, no deal, no deal, no deal, no deal
Bet they with me now, like yeah
Numbers on the board now, yeah
I got everything I wanted back then, whoa now yeah
And I need a little more now, yeah
You gotta be fuckin' with me
[Bridge]
(You don't gotta love me to fuck with me)
On the phone like
(You don't gotta love me to fuck with me)
Hop up on the phone like
(You don't even love me, just wanted me)
Hop up on the phone like
(Hop up on the phone like, like)
[Chorus]
No deal, no deal, no deal, no deal, no deal
Bet they with me now, like yeah
Numbers on the board now, yeah
I got everything I wanted back then, whoa now yeah
And I need a little more now, yeah
You gotta be fuckin' with me
