Back in the days I made up my mind   That I would be a king, you know, genuine   Reign supreme at the top of the heap   And like working all day, no time to sleep      Destined to rise, in front of your eyes   So we surmise, it's time for the prize   The time has come, we gotta be number one   The world is full of power and we got to get some      No more beggin' and useless teardrops   So I'm trading these teardrops for props   Goin' all the way and with my powerful team   Conquering the world and I'ma rise like cream      All out, putting heads to bed   'Cause I'm a grown man and I hate to get spoon-fed   Wisdom, son, I rose in the east   Till we reach the top, won't be no peace, 'cause it's      Strictly business, strictly business   Ain't no way I'm gonna stop   Strictly business, ain't no time to get more   Gotta make it to the top      Everything we do, gotta be brand new   The moves we make, gotta make the earth shake   Sitting at my desk, 'cause I manifest to my team   Big plans that'll make us the best      'Cause we can rule this game we all play   Pop champagne and make everyday a holiday   Smooth as a rose but hard like steel   From now on I'ma make my dreams real      On a mission, gotta get there   If you wanna rule, you gotta be in there   Our master plan is the best   And ain't a man alive that'll beat us to a conquest      'Cause this is the reason we was born   To rock on and on and on and on   Look at my eyes, it's hypnotizing   Word is bond, we gotta keep on rising      Strictly business, life is hard to handle   Ain't no way I'm gonna stop   Strictly business, ain't no time to get more   Gotta make it to the top
