They call me Hella. The real Hella, Hella Maze…..
[Verse 1 Hella Maze]
Every day ain't sweet being H E L L A. A lot of foul players in the game we play. Had a deal from Interscope (Records) way back in the day. Had a contract dispute on how much i'd be paid. In the meantime they wanted to hear all my tapes. All my old sh**, for artist development, to mold sh**. I was told "this is your shot, don't let it slip. Hit the studio, you only need to make one hit." So I did. Day after day, working hard as a slave, man thinking this is time to get paid. And at the end all I can say, is ain't that a b**h. They didn't want to give me sh**. And I had a hit with Flossy back then called Booshie. A very popular song with rap industry groupies. Two weeks after the deal fell-through, I got a call "they took your song and there ain't sh** you can do. Let your lawyers deal with it and you'll get screwed." Cleared Nelly's version Booshetto later on that afternoon. So I just got jacked, wasn't seeing no chips. Sold my song to Nelly and the St. Lunitics. I said "shouldn't the dough get split?" Huh.. I was told, that I'd see no in's. They own the studio, and all recordings within. I said "I recorded that with Flossy, my man!" They said "did you copy-rite it?" I said "nope". "You just got bopped then." I was like damn. You know? But the sh** you go through makes you the cat you are man. Uh.. You know?

[Verse 2 Hella Maze]
D.C to Atlanta then back to the Town (Seattle)
Right about now the Thizz tape came out (Hella Maze Mix-Tape 8 Thizzles)
Had cats wilding-out, I was k**ing them shows
Not to mention I was spitting, I was k**ing them flows
And I was getting some dough, and I was building a buzz. I did a show with Mackelmore, the Stranger(magazine) showed me no-love. Local magazine they tried to hate on the kid. I guess they didn't have the pulse on the city they're in. And to the chagrin, I was blessed with longevity. I spit dope all-day, mouth full of ketamine. I crank it like methamphetamine. And keep it turned-up with my dogs, don't worry about the pedigree. Never got caught up with the jealousy, never me. Always been busy trying to build my own legacy. Not they on my nuts, my testicles, let me see...
