Biography

Christopher Brian Bridges (born September 11, 1977), better known by his stage name Ludacris, is an American rapper and actor. Along with his manager, Chaka Zulu, Ludacris is the co-founder of [l=Disturbing Tha Peace], an imprint distributed by [l=Def Jam Recordings]. Ludacris has sold 17 million albums in the United States and 24 million records sold worldwide, and he has won the Screen Actors Guild, Critic's Choice, MTV, and Grammy Awards during his career. Born in Champaign, Illinois, of African American and Native American descent. Luda wrote his first rap song at age nine when moving to Atlanta and joined an amateur rap group three years later. He attended Banneker High School in Atlanta, Georgia. From 1998 to 1999, and studied music management at Georgia State University. Ludacris worked as a radio editor under the pseudonym "DJ Chris Lova Lova" at Atlanta hip hop station HOT 97.5 FM WHTA, now located at 107.9 FM, when producer and rapper [a=Timbaland] made an offer for Ludacris to work with him at the radio station, leading to his performance on the track "Phat Rabbit" on Timbaland's 1998 album Tim's Bio: Life from da Bassment. Ludacris released his major label debut, "Back for the First Time", in October 2000. This album was actually a modified re-release of the album "Incognegro", made in 1998. It was produced with the help of the underground producer Sessy Melia, whom he dated for a short while. The album reached as high as #4 on the U.S. Billboard 200, and was a major success. Ludacris made his mark on the industry with singles such as "Southern Hospitality" and "What's Your Fantasy", along with his first ever single the "Phat Rabbit", from two years prior. Guest appearances included [a=4-Ize], [a=I-20], [a=Shawnna], [a=Pastor Troy], [a=Timbaland], [a=Trina], [a=Foxy Brown], [a=UGK], and others. Ludacris stated in an interview on MTV's hip hop program Direct Effect that he came up with his stage name based on his "split personality" that he considered "ridiculous" and "ludicrous".

LYRICS

Chorus:
They want to know why I hit like that
Spit like that
Shit like that
Maybe cause I
Get like that
Kick like that
Rip like that
They wanna know why I
Rhyme like that
Shine like that
Climb like that
Cause the world is mine like that
Yours like that
Mine like that

Verse 1:
You could get your
Even niggas that owe you and ain't paid you shit
You could drink some cold brew
And throw on them old shoes and jump in the whip
You could come and find us and be right behind
Us and insert the clips
You hear something go clack clack clack
Somebody went down
But it wasn't us
You could sell about 2 mil and get hooked wit
A good deal and start stacking dough
You could ride your mobil and get 10 big
Wheels and collect some hoes
You could even start eating good and smoking good
But you pressing ya luck
And you say what somebody went bankrupt
Shit
But it wasn't us

(Chorus)

Verse 2:
You could go to the drawing board
Or just start from scratch all over again clean
Or you could tell the bunch of officers that I'm the one
To catch but my niggas are the police
You could try to blame me and even try to frame me
But I'll make the bail
Now somebody's going to jail shit but it wasn't us
You could even do track after track and your walls turn
Black after Black
CD's on rack after rack
No more selling sack after sack
You could have had that good life good kids and a
Good wife if it was yours to earn
But the record stores getting returns shit
But it wasn't us

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
You could be going on world wide tours and see
Your face on every magazine
Or you could flip through channel after channel
And see that ass on a TV screen
You could pay for expensive videos
And have q whole lot of big booty hoes
When that shit start coming to a close
Shit
But it wasn't us
You could use your backup plan and even call up your backup
Man and start thinking quick
You could call up the backup hoes and even call up the
Backup pros and tell them to suck a dick
Then you tell them just to get on knees
Then you tell them just to pay the fees and to pay
They does
Now they catching the STD's
Shit but it wasn't us

(Chorus)
