Daddy is that your car on TV?   You better believe it is baby, now go in the other room   It's 'bout to be some grown folks talkin' here, okay?   All right      Yeah, things ain't always what they seem or cracked up to be   Like all these fakin' ass rappers in this industry   Talkin' 'bout what they got and they ain't got a damn thang   How you own three cars but you don't own your own name?      Get your business right, boys, the first class is in session   Get a entertainment lawyer in the music profession   Start up your own company, trademark the name   That's gon' run ya about a grand, so start savin' your change      Open a bank account quick and then follow these steps   Sign yourself to yourself and start signin' ya own checks   Hit the booth and start recordin' at the speed and need   Whatever gets your juices flowin', could be speed or weed      Get it mixed and mastered, pressed up and plastered   Sell it to your whole hood out the trunk, ya bastard   Show all the non-believers what you destined to be   And in just a couple years, you could be rich like me      But I can't hold my tongue, I'ma tell it like it is   This biz ain't all fun, I'ma tell it like it is   Give it to you straight, no chase, I'ma tell it like it is   Look you straight in yo' face and I'ma tell it like it is      I can't hold my tongue, I'ma tell it like it is   This biz ain't all fun, I'ma tell it like it is   Give it to you straight, no chase, I'ma tell it like it is   Look you straight in yo' face and I'ma tell it like it is      See mostly all your favorite artists got some serious problems   And money could be the problem but money can't solve 'em   Some get addicted to drugs and flat out lazy   Some taste a little fame and go flat out crazy      I'm close 'cause those close wanna live off my fame   And that type of shit alone'll drive a nigga insane   Not to mention all the vultures, the scandalous promoters   Crabs'll try to sue you, magazines will misquote ya      Most of these label heads, they don't care nothin' about ya   If you stop sellin' records, they'll act like they don't know ya   It's hard mixin' business with pleasure, so don't play   Me and my crew argue and fight like every other day      Rappers ain't above the law but our life is so fast   That we got a special Task Force of police on our ass   All that and this is really just the start of it   Hip hop, you really wanna be a part of it?      I can't hold my tongue, I'ma tell it like it is   This biz ain't all fun, I'ma tell it like it is   Give it to you straight, no chase, I'ma tell it like it is   Look you straight in yo' face and I'ma tell it like it is      I can't hold my tongue, I'ma tell it like it is   Man, this biz ain't all fun, I'ma tell it like it is   I'ma give it to you straight, no chase, I'ma tell it like it is   Look you straight in yo' face and I'ma tell it like it is      What's worse than havin' no money is havin' it and losin' it   What's worse than havin' some money is grabbin' and abusin' it   We never took no money from Chingy, thought I was cool with him   I wish his ass well but I don't want nothin' to do with him      Some don't own they publishin', me, I never fool with 'em   I'm down for my artists, try my best to stay true to 'em   'Cause outside my label, competition is irrelevant   Unless I'm still in competition with my president      And believe that I'm supportin' the Hova   'Cause the industry's shady, it needs to be 'Taken Over'   But the first rule to accumulation of wealth   Is don't trust nobody but your goddamn self      I can't hold my tongue, I'ma tell it like it is   Man, this biz ain't all fun, I'ma tell it like it is   I'ma give it to you straight, no chase, I'ma tell it like it is   Look you straight in yo' face and I'ma tell it like it is      I said, I can't hold my tongue, I'ma tell it like it is   This biz ain't all fun, I'ma tell it like it is   I'ma give it to you straight, no chase, I'ma tell it like it is   Look you straight in yo' face and I'ma tell it like it is      Daddy, are you finished this grown folk talk?   Yeah, baby, you can come back in here   Come give Daddy a kiss, you know I love you, right?   And I love you always
