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 |
