[00:01.50] |
Daddy is that your car on TV |
[00:03.43] |
You better believe it is baby |
[00:05.32] |
Now go in the other room |
[00:06.54] |
It's 'bout to be some grown folks talkin' here |
[00:08.34] |
Okay |
[00:08.92] |
|
[00:09.70] |
All right |
[00:10.35] |
|
[00:11.20] |
Things ain't always what they seem or cracked up to be |
[00:13.91] |
Like all these fakin' ass rappers in this industry |
[00:17.00] |
Talkin' bout what they got |
[00:18.63] |
And they ain't got a damn thang |
[00:20.46] |
How you own three cars |
[00:21.71] |
But you don't own ya own name |
[00:23.54] |
Get ya business right boys |
[00:24.84] |
The first class is in session |
[00:26.69] |
Get a entertainment lawyer in the music profession |
[00:29.76] |
Start up ya own company |
[00:31.33] |
Trademark the name |
[00:32.64] |
That's gon' run ya bout a grand |
[00:34.40] |
So start savin' ya change |
[00:35.90] |
Open a bank account quick |
[00:37.37] |
And then follow these steps |
[00:38.84] |
Sign yourself to yourself and |
[00:40.78] |
Start signin' ya own checks |
[00:42.26] |
Hit the booth and start recording at the speed of need |
[00:45.12] |
Whatever gets ya juices |
[00:46.23] |
Flowin' could be speed or weed |
[00:48.20] |
Get it mixed and mastered |
[00:49.84] |
Pressed up and plastered |
[00:51.43] |
Sell it to ya whole hood out the trunk |
[00:53.77] |
Ya bastard |
[00:54.51] |
Show all the non-believers |
[00:56.05] |
What you destined to be |
[00:57.53] |
And in just a couple years |
[00:59.14] |
You could be rich like me |
[01:00.78] |
But I can't hold my tounge |
[01:02.31] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[01:03.83] |
This biz ain't all fun |
[01:05.43] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[01:06.81] |
Give it to ya straight |
[01:08.10] |
No chase |
[01:08.65] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[01:10.06] |
Look you straight in yo face |
[01:11.70] |
And I'ma tell it like it is |
[01:13.37] |
I can't hold my tounge |
[01:14.72] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[01:16.25] |
This biz ain't all fun |
[01:17.92] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[01:19.38] |
Give it to ya straight |
[01:20.52] |
No chase |
[01:21.03] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[01:22.47] |
Look you straight in yo face |
[01:24.12] |
And I'ma tell it like it is |
[01:25.71] |
See mostly all your favorite artists |
[01:27.44] |
Got some serious problems |
[01:29.06] |
The money could be the problem |
[01:30.70] |
But money can't solve 'em |
[01:32.19] |
Some get addicted to drugs and flat out lazy |
[01:35.06] |
Some taste a little fame and go flat out crazy |
[01:38.38] |
I'm close 'cause those close wanna live off my fame |
[01:41.25] |
And that type of shit alone will drive a nigga insane |
[01:44.44] |
Not to mention all the vultures |
[01:46.04] |
The scandelous promoters |
[01:47.68] |
Crabs will try to sue ya |
[01:49.33] |
Magazines will misquote ya |
[01:51.15] |
Most of these label-heads |
[01:52.25] |
They don't care nothin' about ya |
[01:54.06] |
If you stop sellin' records |
[01:55.35] |
They'll act like they don't know ya |
[01:57.15] |
It's hard mixin' business with pleasure |
[01:59.11] |
So don't play |
[01:59.96] |
Me and my crew argue and fight like every other day |
[02:03.15] |
Rappers ain't above the law |
[02:04.68] |
But our life is so fast |
[02:06.15] |
That we got a Special Task Force of police on our ass |
[02:09.44] |
All that |
[02:10.16] |
And this is really just the start of it |
[02:12.34] |
Hip Hop |
[02:13.10] |
You really wanna be a part of it |
[02:15.46] |
I can't hold my tounge |
[02:17.13] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[02:18.67] |
This biz ain't all fun |
[02:20.31] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[02:21.76] |
Give it to ya straight |
[02:22.88] |
No chase |
[02:23.37] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[02:24.82] |
Look you straight in yo face |
[02:26.47] |
And I'ma tell it like it is |
[02:28.00] |
I can't hold my tounge |
[02:29.63] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[02:31.08] |
Man this biz ain't all fun |
[02:32.77] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[02:34.28] |
I'ma give it to ya straight |
[02:35.56] |
No chase |
[02:36.00] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[02:37.30] |
Look you straight in yo face |
[02:39.00] |
And I'ma tell it like it is |
[02:40.68] |
What's worse than havin' |
[02:41.75] |
No money is havin' it and losin' it |
[02:43.94] |
What's worse than havin' |
[02:44.88] |
Some money is grabbin' and abusin' it |
[02:47.14] |
We never took no money from Chingy |
[02:48.97] |
Thought I was cool wit him |
[02:50.38] |
I wish his ass well |
[02:51.51] |
But I don't want nothin' to do with him |
[02:53.46] |
Some don't own they publishin' |
[02:54.71] |
Me I never fool wit 'em |
[02:56.49] |
I'm down for my artists |
[02:57.65] |
Try my best to stay true to 'em |
[02:59.63] |
'Cause outside my label competition is irrelevant |
[03:02.38] |
|
[03:02.90] |
Unless I'm still in competition with my president |
[03:06.25] |
And believe that I'm supportin' the Hova |
[03:08.58] |
'Cause the industry's shady |
[03:10.13] |
It needs to be taken over' |
[03:11.71] |
But the first rule to accumalation of wealth |
[03:14.72] |
Is Don't trust nobody but ya God damned self |
[03:18.03] |
I can't hold my tounge |
[03:19.41] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[03:20.99] |
Man this biz ain't all fun |
[03:22.69] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[03:24.12] |
I'm give it to ya straight |
[03:25.36] |
No chase |
[03:25.86] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[03:27.17] |
Look you straight in yo face |
[03:28.85] |
And I'ma tell it like it is |
[03:30.37] |
I said I can't hold my tounge |
[03:31.92] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[03:33.44] |
This biz ain't all fun |
[03:35.10] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[03:36.51] |
Give it to ya straight |
[03:37.62] |
No chase |
[03:38.11] |
I'ma tell it like it is |
[03:39.67] |
Look you straight in yo face |
[03:41.25] |
And I'ma tell it like it is |
[03:43.03] |
|
[03:43.85] |
Daddy |
[03:44.29] |
Are you finished this grown folk talk |
[03:46.30] |
Yeah baby |
[03:46.96] |

[03:48.33] |
