B.I. vs. Friendship (Feat. M.O.P.) |
It’s like, a friendship, and a business partnership |
And, we have to always be concious of the difference |
Between em; |
because y’know, some things can happen |
That’ll ruin one or the other, so |
We alwa-we always stay concious of those things |
Those obstacles that can, y’know trip us up |
Because we ain’t trying to go out like that |
«friends» «business» (repeat 3X) |
AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRAHHAHHH!!! |
C’mon! |
Motherfucker! |
Yeah! |
… |
GangStarr! |
GangStarr! |
M.O.P |
Ghetto people! |
Son you’re supposed to be my man, but you ain’t wise enough to realize |
This is B.I., see I wanna taste the whole cake |
Some things in this industry, shit be so fake |
Make no mistake, if you’re my man you’d understand |
About the plan, to stack hundreds of grands (That's right!) |
And how to stand, on much more acres of land |
And to expand from the days of goin hand to hand |
So like I was CEO I do my thing son |
And turn this underground rap thing to my kingdom |
Release a fistful, of rhymes for the fiscal year |
MC’s are wishful fuckin with this here |
They stuck with the tear, for fear they foresake a brother’s love |
It’s clear -- I’d have to be the better man I’m thinkin |
The 7th Letter Man ain’t got no time for petty speakin (uhh) |
So we go our seperate ways I see the fork in the road |
I know I blessed you with a portion of gold |
And some good fortune to hold, so KEEP THAT |
While I keep it movin, just like truckloads |
Of interstate cargo, taxin niggas like U.S. embargoes |
You my man like I said so all the best |
You shoulda known we do shit differently than all of the rest |
Can’t afford to let a link be, loose in the chain |
It’s time for us to get mad more, juice in the game |
You’re buggin son (that's right) that’s word to Billy and Fame |
So I’mma state again, that we play to win (Yeah!) |
So I don’t care what you say to her or say to him |
The object son, is to excel and lead |
And niggas be bluffin', fallin' for nothin but greed |
If it’s animosity |
Let me know |
If you plottin to stop my dough |
Time to go! |
GangStarr, M.O.P. |
nigga |
Tryin to blow! |
If you my man you could understand! |
I’m true to myself y’all, and I’m a down ass nigga! |
So don’t fool yourself, clown ass nigga! |
I always been the type of cat that’ll put it on ya |
Since back in the days when Laze snatched me off the corner |
And every since then, the whole game changed |
Everybody’s against, Lil' ass Fame |
They wanna see me stretched out with my back smokin |
Left for dead in the street with my back opened |
So I don’t keep friends I just roll with |
Niggas I was RAISED WITH, went out in a BLAZE WITH |
In the penile, to B-Ville, down to Grayson |
And we stick together, in these last days kid |
So I don’t have what you call friends |
Cause when it’s on then they gone in the end! |
But I’mma handle my business indeed |
Cause niggas be bluffin', fallin' for nothin but greed! |
If it’s animosity |
Let me know |
If you plottin to stop my dough |
Time to go! |
GangStarr, M.O.P. |
nigga |
Tryin to blow! |
If you my man you could understand! |
Hey yo what happened to the love soldier? |
It never crossed my mind |
That you would doubt my love inside and test my pride |
I divide, anything that I got |
With my M.O.P. |
staff -- WE ALL THAT WE HAVE! |
To the First Family loyalty, is no game |
We them type of niggas that, money won’t change |
We all aim, for the big picture |
But to me it don’t mean shit if your dogs ain’t witcha |
I sacrifice my main arteries -- WHY NIGGA?! |
Ain’t nobody never loved me, like my niggas |
See my business is my friendship and my friendship is my business |
Can I get a witness?! |
(Preach on nigga!) |
Hey yo we went through all out wars, half-assed tours |
Travelled 'cross this land with heavy contraband |
(See you my man!) And you ain’t never got to |
Second guess or question the love of William Danze (Sho' nuff!) |
I am invaluable, to my niggas |
As an old rusty ass thirty-two -- BETTER THAN NOTHIN! |
Think of William when they start bustin, I hold you down |
(When them body parts pop up cousin) I’ll be around! |
«friends» «business» (repeat 6X to fade) |
