|
It's like, a friendship, and a business partnership
|
And, we have to always be concious of the difference
|
between em; because y'know, some things can happen
|
that'll ruin one or the other, so
|
we alwa-we always stay concious of those things
|
Those obstacles that can, y'know trip us up
|
because we ain't trying to go out like that
|
|
*Primo scratching fades in gradually*

"friends""business" (repeat 3X)

C'mon! Motherfucker! Yeah! ...

Son you're supposed to be my man, but you ain't wise enough to realize
|
this is B.I., see I wanna taste the whole cake
|
Some things in this industry, shit be so fake
|
Make no mistake, if you're my man you'd understand
|
about the plan, to stack hundreds of grands (That's right!)
|
And how to stand, on much more acres of land
|
And to expand from the days of goin hand to hand
|
So like I was CEO I do my thing son
|
and turn this underground rap thing to my kingdom
|
Release a fistful, of rhymes for the fiscal year
|
MC's are wishful fuckin with this here
|
They stuck with the tear, for fear they foresake a brother's love
|
it's clear -- I'd have to be the better man I'm thinkin
|
The 7th Letter Man ain't got no time for petty speakin (uhh)
|
So we go our seperate ways I see the fork in the road
|
I know I blessed you with a portion of gold
|
and some good fortune to hold, so KEEP THAT
|
while I keep it movin, just like truckloads
|
of interstate cargo, taxin niggaz like U.S. embargoes
|
You my man like I said so all the best
|
You shoulda known we do shit differently than all of the rest
|
Can't afford to let a link be, loose in the chain
|
It's time for us to get mad more, juice in the game
|
You're buggin son (that's right) that's word to Billy and Fame
|
So I'ma stay the game, that we play to win (Yeah!)
|
So I don't care what you say to her or say to him
|
The object son, is to excel and lead
|
And niggaz be bluffin fallin for nothin but greed
|
|
Chorus: M.O.P. and Guru
|
|
[M.O.P.]If it's animosity
|
[Guru]Let me know
|
[M.O.P.]If you plottin to stop my dough
|
[Lil' Fame]Time to go!
|
[M.O.P.]GangStarr, M.O.P. nigga
|
[Billy Danze]Tryin to blow!
|
[M.O.P.]If you my man you could understand!
|
*repeat 2X*
|
|
[Lil' Fame]
|
I'm true to myself y'all, and I'm a down ass nigga!
|
So don't fool yourself, clown ass nigga!
|
I always been the type of cat that'll put it on ya
|
since back in the days when Laze snatched me off the corner
|
And every since then, the whole game changed
|
Everybody's against, Lil' ass Fame
|
They wanna see me stretched out with my back smokin
|
Left for dead in the street with my back opened
|
So I don't keep friends I just roll with
|
niggaz I was RAISED WITH, went out in a BLAZE WITH
|
In the penile, to B.ville, down to Grayson
|
And we thick together, in these last days kid
|
So I don't have what you call friends
|
cause when it's on then they gone in the end!
|
But I'ma handle my business indeed
|
Cause niggaz be bluffin fallin for nothin but greed!
|
|
Chorus

|
[Billy Danze]
|
Hey yo what happened to the love soldier? It never crossed my mind
|
that you would doubt my love inside and test my pride
|
I divide, anything that I got
|
with my M.O.P. staff -- WE ALL AND WE OUT!
|
To the First Family loyalty, is no game
|
We them type of niggaz that, money won't change
|
We all aim, for the big picture
|
but to me it don't mean shit if your dogs ain't witcha
|
I sacrifice my main arteries -- WHY NIGGA?!
|
Ain't nobody never loved me, like my niggaz
|
See my business is my friendship and my friendship is my business
|
Can I get a witness?! (Preach on nigga!)
|
Hey yo we went through all out wars, half-assed tours
|
Travelled 'cross this land with heavy contraband
|
(See you my man!) And you ain't never got to
|
second guess or question the love of William Danze (Sho' nuff!)
|
I am invaluable, to my niggaz
|
cause they all rest there in thirty-two -- BETTER THAN NOTHIN!
|
| Think of William when they start bust |
