Strictly Business |
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 masterplan 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 |
I’ma be a legend in all the books and mags |
Stuffin' the cash inside garbage bags |
Ain’t no time to waste, we gotta motivate |
Pass anybody that stops to get gas |
Forever and a day, my destiny’s set |
No sweat, I make it rougher than rougher gets |
Hold on tight, if not, get blown away |
Pick up the pieces 'cause we’re known to say |
Radical things to get a champion’s ring |
Give it up, punk, don’t make me swing |
We planned ahead to get the butter and the bread |
Dressed in black and I’m stayin' out the red |
So when it comes to like taking charge |
Get props for where they do and stop frontin' on tar |
Gotta go for what you know to be the cream of the crop |
With the power of God, I’ma rise to the top, it’s |
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 |
