In the late 1980s, Pimp C started the rap duo UGK. They then got signed to Jive Records where they released their major label debut album, Too Hard to Swallow, and their sophomore album, Super Tight.... Their third album, Ridin' Dirty reached the R&B Charts in 1996 peaking at number 2 and the Billboard 200 chart peaking at number 15. After releasing their fourth studio album, Dirty Money, Pimp C got sentenced to jail.
When Bun B's UGK partner, the late Chad "Pimp C" Butler entered a jail sentence on an aggravated gun assault charge in 2002, Bun B made guest appearances on numerous albums by other rappers and released a 2005 mixtape titled Legends. Singles featuring a Bun B guest appearance included "They Don't Know" by Paul Wall, "Gimme That" by Webbie and "I'm A G" by Yung Joc. Bun B also appeared in a documentary titled Screwed In Houston produced by VBS/Vice Magazine that details the history of the Houston rap scene.
Say cheese
That's what I tell myself to say ev'ry time I see her walkin' by
Say cheese
Flash a phony smile, and she'll never suspect that I want to break right down and cry
I've got to play my part
Can't let my teardrops start
Can't let her know that she's breakin' my heart
Say cheese
Even though she hurt me bad, I'll never accent, I'll strike a happy pose
Say cheese
Paint a pretty picture of a happy man, make sure my heartache never shows
All I've got left is my pride
But I'll do my best to hide
All of the tears that I'm crying inside
Say cheese
Say cheese
