7

8
Take my advice, you'll be ballin
9
First up, it's important that you keep your shit original
10
Try and keep that copycat shit to a minimal
11
People want somethin that they never heard before
12
If it's been done, leave it, they don't wanna hear no more
13
Secondly, here's another clever thing that you can do
14
Find yourself a good manager who's really got a clue
15
'Cause there's so many to choose from, they all look the part
16
But it's difficult to come across the ones that's really smart
17
And can stand firm and steady when the label's talkin shit
18
Will respect, it keeps it gangsta but does everything legit
19
And dependable, you can trust to handle your biz
20
And can really make you sure of what the situation is
21
Next up, find a record label that ain't full of pricks
22
One that let's you breathe artistically but makes you come with hits
23
Congratulations now you've got your deal, you're set to go
24
Lemme fill you in on just a couple things you need to know
25
You need a hardback, stern face
26
Play your position and know your place
27
Only move when the money's callin
28
Take my advice, you'll be ballin
29
You need a hardback, stern face
30
Play your position and know your place
31
Only move when the money's callin
32
Take my advice, you'll be ballin
33
Next up, change your number
34
Change your phone and change your chip
35
'Cause there's gonna be a lot of people ringin, talkin shit
36
Whether bredrens wantin money 'cause now suddenly you're rich
37
Or some dumb hatin fassies tryin to take you for a bitch
38
Yeah, I know it's minor and you can handle it, it's nothin
39
But eventually you're really gonna wanna do somethin
40
And that's counter-productive, beefin over bullshit
41
You can never stop them dumb bredrens tryin to bullshit
42
Plus you're in the limelight, well-paid verbalist
43
Which leads me onto my next subject, journalists
44
These are the people that could put your name about
45
So be careful what you're sayin when you're talkin out your mouth
46
And avoid bein ignorant, tone down the thug-shit
47
Come to interviews buzzin, tone down the drug shit
48
Keep your eye on the ball, mind on the job
49
And before you know you'll have the whole world on your knob
50
You need a hardback, stern face
51
Play your position and know your place
52
Only move when the money's callin
53
Take my advice, you'll be ballin
54
You need a hardback, stern face
55
Play your position and know your place
56
Only move when the money's callin
57
Take my advice, you'll be ballin
58
Here's somethin that I shoulda stressed early on
59
Don't go spendin all your money till it's gone
60
'Cause the taxman's gonna want his paper when it's due
61
And there's nobody above the taxman especially you
62
And another thing, buy your house before you buy your car
63
Don't tell no one where you are, even better if you're far
64
Everybody knows you're gangsta and that Porsche looks great
65
But do you really want it sittin on that council estate?
66
Differently, watch where you choose to socialize
67
Keep an eye out for trouble, watch for devils in disguise
68
And please don't be fooled by no pretty females
69
Play it safe, never let 'em know your full details
70
I ain't sayin be para', I'm just sayin be sure
71
You can never know if that bitch will be braggin what she saw
72
And aside from makin money, keep lovin what you do
73
I ain't saying nothin more because the rest is up to you
74
I got a hardback, stern face
75
Play your position and know your place
76
Only move when the money's callin
77
Take my advice, you'll be ballin
78
You need a hardback, stern face
79
Play your position and know your place
80
Only move when the money's callin
81
Take my advice, you'll be ballin
