(Lil' Flip talkin)
|
ay this is for everybody
|
that wanna get in the rap game
|
this is for everybody
|
that think you just get in the rap game
|
and blow up over night
|
this is for everybody that think
|
its easy to be on T.V in front of limo's
|
and buy rolex's ha its better known
|
as bleed and suck look
|
|
(Verse One: Flip)
|
I started rappin when I was about thirteen
|
I was into basketball not this hip hop thing
|
I started doin talent shows I was bein curious
|
but I didn't know one day I would be serious
|
I use to always freestyle until the end of the beat
|
and I use to take my demo's to the end of my street
|
to another local rapper I thought could help
|
but in this rap game people all about theyself,
|
so that made me work harder I picked up my pin
|
all though I kinda felt bad I picked up my chin
|
I made my own rap group Hustlaz Stackin Endz
|
and I can't wait for me and Hump to drive a platinum benz
|
|
(Chorus)
|
its the biz
|
(where anything can happen)
|
its the biz
|
(everybody and they mama be rappin)
|
its the biz
|
(everybody gotta shine rule one
|
read before you sign that dotted line)
|
|
(Verse Two: Flip)
|
so I started freestylin every chance I got
|
the word on the street was Lil' Flip is hot,
|
I'm the hardest B.G rhymin in my state
|
thats when C-Note let me do "Diamonds-N-Yo-Face"
|
song was gettin played like fifty times a day
|
then we hit the road doin shows tryna get paid
|
I started doin karioes tryna get out there
|
it didn't take long for me to put another hit out there
|
now I'm in the studio tryna make dollar bills
|
some people owe me fa sho since they live down the street,
|
rollers actin like they broke (man show us some love)
|
I'm tired of hearin that shit all the time
|
me and Hump puttin it down nigga I ain't lyin
|
I got record labels mad cause I ain't sign
|
some niggas stealin my rhymes but I'm still gon' shine
|
if you can't see this biz dirty then you must be blind
|
|
(Chorus)
|
its the biz
|
(I'm tryna survive)
|
its the biz
|
(man forget a ninety five)
|
its the biz
|
(boy the game is cursole sometimes
|
you just can't think like the rest)
|
|
(Verse Three: Hump)
|
its a dirty game but who's to blame
|
I'm a stay independent y'all choose the fame
|
ain't nothin changed still workin the clock
|
95 made outta wood and a sun roof on top
|
and when we sittin on ya block y'all beez in shock
|
cause Houston got Lil' Flip like caddie have crop
|
when you see Sucka Free give us our props
|
cause we run this rap game believe it or not
|
|
(Lil' Flip talkin)
|
now you got two choices
|
you can be a rapper or you can be a C-E-O
|
either you can be with the devil
|
or you can be with god
|
which one you wanna be with
|
|
(Verse Four: Flip)
|
and if you ain't gettin sued then you might be suin
|
and if your fans ain't clappin they might be booin
|
and if you ain't gettin paid then you might not get paid
|
I'm sorry sometimes thats how the game gets played
|
and if you ain't on tour you might not have one
|
its 90% business the other half fun
|
some niggas get raped for everything they earn
|
its just like sex with no protection you get burned
|
|
(Chorus)
|
its the biz
|
(I'm Sucka Free)
|
its the biz
|
(everybody want luxury)
|
its the biz
|
(you know what I mean lets talk about
|
contracts and get the green)
|
|
(Flip)
|
I heard...you got jacked for your ride
|
its the biz
|
I heard...a nigga usin your lines
|
its the biz
|
I heard...a nigga bought you a car
|
its the biz
|
he said that he gon' make you a star
|
and you ain't seen no money so far
|
thats the biz and now you know
|
knowin is half the battle thats the biz
|
