| Maniac do the world tour car, plane, and Amtrak
|
| I ain’t a businessman but I’m the business man
|
| Workin' like an entrepreneur with a wealth all planned

|
| You know we stay on the go and gotta see things progressin'
|
| And work hard like a man from the depression
|
| Pickin' up pennies in any job I think I gotta feel the satisfaction the action
|
| to earn dollar
|
| You gotta understand that’s why we floss when we spend a lot
|
| Bustin' our backs in the studio like 2Pac
|
| And like 'Pac we got bossed by our label
|
| But it doesn’t matter the hard work is spinnin' on your turntable
|
| So many hours man you wouldn’t believe
|
| Hangin' up the hat and the coat
|
| And rollin' up the sleeves
|
| Gettin' high thinkin' the clock is breathin' down my neck
|
| There’s not enough hours but so many things to do yet
|
| Gotta catch a jet at 11 Pacific time but it’s crossin' the date line
|
| And we’ll be in city by 9
|
| The idle time on the plane’s got me itchin'
|
| Hard work is the calamari
|
| Put the cook in the kitchen man
|
| Let him stir it up Bringin' the new flavor
|
| And fax the contracts with some business behavior
|
| Believe in the beats the track record’s been shown
|
| 14 years on the MPC gave me carpal tunnel syndrome man
|
| I’m still makin' plans with my achin' hands
|
| Stayin' up all night makin' it funky for the fans
|
| If it doesn’t earn I know we’ll get another turn
|
| Cause we put in work like a crip burnin' the sherm
|
| It’s the P
