[Verse:]
2
Things ain't always what they seem or cracked up to be
3
Like all these fakin' ass rappers in this industry
4
Talkin' bout what they got, and they ain't got a damn thang
5
How you own three cars, but you don't own ya own name?
6
Get ya business right boys, the first class is in session
7
Get a entertainment lawyer in the music profession
8
Start up ya own company, trademark the name
9
That's gon' run ya bout a grand so start savin' ya change
10
Open a bank account quick, and then follow these steps
11
Sign yourself to yourself and start signin' ya own checks
12
Hit the booth and start recording at the speed of need
13
Whatever gets ya juices flowin' could be speed or weed
14
Get it mixed and mastered, pressed up and plastered
15
Sell it to ya whole hood out the trunk, ya bastard!
16
Show all the non-believers what you destined to be
17
And in just a couple years you could be rich like me
18
[Hook:]
19
But I can't hold my tounge
20
I'ma tell it like it is
21
This biz ain't all fun
22
I'ma tell it like it is
23
Give it to ya straight, no chase
24
I'ma tell it like it is
25
Look you straight in yo face
26
And I'ma tell it like it is
27
I can't hold my tounge
28
I'ma tell it like it is
29
This biz ain't all fun
30
I'ma tell it like it is
31
Give it to ya straight, no chase
32
I'ma tell it like it is
33
Look you straight in yo face
34
And I'ma tell it like it is
35
[Verse 2:]
36
See, mostly all your favorite artists got some serious problems
37
The money could be the problem, but money can't solve 'em
38
Some get addicted to drugs and flat out lazy
39
Some taste a little fame and go flat out crazy
40
I'm close 'cause those close wanna live off my fame
41
And that type of shit alone will drive a nigga insane
42
Not to mention all the vultures, the scandelous promoters
43
Crabs will try to sue ya, magazines will misquote ya
44
Most of these label-heads, they don't care nothin' about ya
45
If you stop sellin' records, they'll act like they don't know ya
46
It's hard mixin' business with pleasure, so don't play
47
Me and my crew argue and fight like every other day
48
Rappers ain't above the law, but our life is so fast
49
That we got a Special Task Force of police on our ass
50
All that, and this is really just the start of it
51
Hip Hop, you really wanna be a part of it?
52
[Hook:]
53
I can't hold my tounge
54
I'ma tell it like it is
55
This biz ain't all fun
56
I'ma tell it like it is
57
Give it to ya straight, no chase
58
I'ma tell it like it is
59
Look you straight in yo face
60
And I'ma tell it like it is
61
I can't hold my tounge
62
I'ma tell it like it is
63
Man this biz ain't all fun
64
I'ma tell it like it is
65
I'ma give it to ya straight, no chase
66
I'ma tell it like it is
67
Look you straight in yo face
68
And I'ma tell it like it is
69
[Verse 3:]
70
What's worse than havin' no money is havin' it and losin' it
71
What's worse than havin' some money is grabbin' and abusin' it
72
We never took no money from Chingy, thought I was cool wit him
73
I wish his ass well, but I don't want nothin' to do with him!
74
Some don't own they publishin', me I never fool wit 'em
75
I'm down for my artists, try my best to stay true to 'em
76
'Cause outside my label competition is irrelevant
77
Unless I'm still in competition with my president
78
And believe that I'm supportin' the Hova
79
''Cause the industry's shady, it needs to be taken over'
80
But the first rule to accumalation of wealth
81
Is Don't trust nobody but ya God damned self!
82
[Hook:]
83
I can't hold my tounge
84
I'ma tell it like it is
85
Man this biz ain't all fun
86
I'ma tell it like it is
87
I'm give it to ya straight, no chase
88
I'ma tell it like it is
89
Look you straight in yo face
90
And I'ma tell it like it is
91
I said I can't hold my tounge
92
I'ma tell it like it is
93
This biz ain't all fun
94
I'ma tell it like it is
95
Give it to ya straight, no chase
96
I'ma tell it like it is
97
Look you straight in yo face
98
And I'ma tell it like it is
