[00:00:00] Written by:Skeff Anselm/D. Murphy/L. Dechalus/Joe Kirkland/Kamaal Fareed/Ali Shaheed Muhammad/Malik Taylor
[00:00:00] Let me tell you 'bout the snakes the fakes the lies the highs
[00:00:03] At all of these industry shing dings
[00:00:05] Where you see the pretty girls
[00:00:07] In the high animated world
[00:00:10] Checking for a rapper with all the dough
[00:00:12] If you take a shit they want to know
[00:00:14] And if you're gonna fall they won't be around y'all
[00:00:17] So you still wanna do the show business
[00:00:19] And you think that you got what it takes
[00:00:22] I mean you really gotta rap and be all that
[00:00:24] And prepare yourself for the breaks
[00:00:26] Check it out
[00:00:29] Do you wanna be in the business
[00:00:31] The business
[00:00:31] The ups and downs with the hoes
[00:00:33] The business
[00:00:34] Always getting fronted on at shows
[00:00:35] The business
[00:00:36] People gotta stick their nose
[00:00:38] In the business
[00:00:39] Yo I gotta speak on the cesspool
[00:00:41] It's the rap industry and it ain't that cool
[00:00:43] Only if you're on stage or if you're speaking to your people
[00:00:47] Ain't no-one your equal
[00:00:48] Especially on the industry side
[00:00:50] Don't let the gains just glide
[00:00:52] Right through your fingers you gotta know the deal
[00:00:55] So Lord Jamar speak because you're real
[00:00:57] They're giving you the business and putting on a show
[00:01:00] You're a million dollar man that ain't got no dough
[00:01:02] But you got a ho tickets backstage to a show
[00:01:04] Sedated and at that fact they elated
[00:01:07] Time pass and your ass say
[00:01:08] Where's my loot
[00:01:09] The reply is a kick in the ass from a leg and a boot
[00:01:12] All you wanna do is taste the fruit
[00:01:14] But in the back they're making fruit juice
[00:01:16] You ask for slack and wanna get cut loose from the label
[00:01:19] Not able cause you signed at the table
[00:01:21] For a pretty cash advance now they got a song and dance
[00:01:23] That you didn't recoup
[00:01:24] More soup with your meal
[00:01:26] Cause this is the real when you get a record deal
[00:01:29] And I say
[00:01:30] Aw shucks look what the cat hauled in
[00:01:32] It's Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest let me begin
[00:01:35] Like Chuck D I got so much trouble on my mind
[00:01:37] 'Bout these no-talent artists getting signed they can't rhyme
[00:01:40] And if that ain't bad you got bootleggers
[00:01:42] Going out like suckers motherf**kers
[00:01:45] Feel it's time that I let loose the lion
[00:01:47] And if not that then I'll commence to head flying
[00:01:49] Seems in '91 everybody want a rhyme
[00:01:51] And then you go and sell my tape for only $5.99
[00:01:54] Please nigga I've worked too hard for this
[00:01:56] No more will I take the booty end of the stick
[00:01:59] Bogus brothers making albums when they know they can't hack it
[00:02:01] Cause they lyrics is played like 8-Ball jackets
[00:02:04] Now tell me I can't tear it up
[00:02:06] Go get yourself some toilet paper cause your lyrics is butt
[00:02:08] Do you wanna be in the business
[00:02:10] The business
[00:02:10] People can't walk a straight line in
[00:02:12] The business
[00:02:13] Some of these brothers can't rhyme in
[00:02:15] The business
[00:02:15] A-yo I'm tryna get mine
[00:02:17] The business
[00:02:18] The party scene is cool but then again it's all the same
[00:02:20] You see the same faces but at different places
[00:02:22] When you're up and riding high everything is palsy palsy
[00:02:25] Get a million pounds and all the skins give you hugs
[00:02:27] Well that's cool I can dig it it really ain't my bag
[00:02:29] Prefer to max on the side and let my pants sag
[00:02:32] Oh he's a cutie yeah real cute
[00:02:34] But I wasn't that cute when I didn't have no loot
[00:02:36] Although I hit a pound of herbs I'm still nice with the verbs
[00:02:40] So f**k what you heard
[00:02:41] The Born Cipher Cipher Master makes me think much faster
[00:02:45] But critics still continue to plaster
[00:02:46] My name and discredit my fame
[00:02:48] All that shit is game and I don't really give a damn
[00:02:51] Eat from the tree of life and throw away the verbal ham
[00:02:55] Well excuse me I gotta add my two cents in
[00:02:58] Don't be alarmed the rhyme was condensed in
[00:03:00] A matter of minutes so it must be told
[00:03:03] All that glitters not gold
[00:03:05] Everybody wants a deal help me make a demo
[00:03:07] See my name in bright lights ride around in a limo
[00:03:10] My moms keeps beefing
[00:03:11] Boy get a job
[00:03:12] But I wanna make jams damn I know I'll slam
[00:03:15] Huh well it's not that easy
[00:03:17] You gotta get a label that's willing and able
[00:03:19] To market and promote and you better hope
[00:03:21] For what
[00:03:22] That the product is dope
[00:03:24] Take it from Diamond it's like mountain climbing
[00:03:26] When it comes to rhyming you gotta put your time in
[00:03:29] Get a good lawyer so problems won't pile
[00:03:31] You don't wanna make a pitch that's wild
