Luyện nghe bài hát Tell It Like It Is

Daddy is that car on TV?
You better believe it is baby, now go in the room
It's 'bout to be some folks talkin' here, okay?
All

Yeah, things always what they seem or cracked up to be
Like all these fakin' ass in this industry
Talkin' 'bout what they got and they ain't got a thang
How you own cars but you don't own your own name?

Get your right, boys, the first class is in session
Get a entertainment in the music profession
Start up your own company, the name
That's gon' run ya about a grand, so savin' your change

Open a bank quick and then follow these steps
Sign yourself to and start signin' ya own checks
Hit the booth and start recordin' at the speed and
Whatever gets juices flowin', could be speed or weed

Get it mixed and mastered, pressed up and
Sell it to your whole hood out the trunk, ya
Show all the non-believers you destined to be
And in a couple years, you could be rich like me

But I can't hold my tongue, tell it like it is
biz ain't all fun, I'ma tell it like it is
Give it to you straight, no chase, tell it like it is
Look you straight in yo' face and I'ma tell it it is

I hold my tongue, I'ma tell it like it is
This biz ain't all fun, tell it like it is
it to you straight, no chase, I'ma tell it like it is
Look you straight in yo' and I'ma tell it like it is

See mostly all your favorite artists got some problems
And money could be the problem but money can't 'em
Some get addicted to drugs and flat out
Some taste a little fame and go out crazy

I'm 'cause those close wanna live off my fame
And that type of shit drive a nigga insane
Not to mention all the vultures, the scandalous
try to sue you, magazines will misquote ya

Most of label heads, they don't care nothin' about ya
If you sellin' records, they'll act like they don't know ya
hard mixin' business with pleasure, so don't play
Me and my crew argue and like every other day

ain't above the law but our life is so fast
That we got a special Task Force of on our ass
All that and this is really just the of it
Hip hop, you really wanna be a of it?

I can't hold my tongue, tell it like it is
This biz ain't all fun, tell it like it is
Give it to you straight, no chase, I'ma it like it is
Look you straight in yo' face and I'ma tell it it is

I can't hold my tongue, I'ma tell it it is
Man, this biz all fun, I'ma tell it like it is
I'ma give it to you straight, no chase, tell it like it is
Look you straight in yo' and I'ma tell it like it is

What's worse havin' no money is havin' it and losin' it
What's worse than some money is grabbin' and abusin' it
We took no money from Chingy, thought I was cool with him
I wish his ass well but I don't want to do with him

don't own they publishin', me, I never fool with 'em
I'm down for my artists, try my best to stay to 'em
'Cause outside my label, competition is
Unless I'm still in competition my president

And that I'm supportin' the Hova
'Cause the industry's shady, it to be 'Taken Over'
But the rule to accumulation of wealth
Is don't trust but your goddamn self

I can't my tongue, I'ma tell it like it is
Man, this biz ain't all fun, I'ma tell it it is
I'ma it to you straight, no chase, I'ma tell it like it is
Look you straight in yo' and I'ma tell it like it is

I said, I can't hold my tongue, tell it like it is
This biz ain't all fun, tell it like it is
I'ma give it to you straight, no chase, I'ma it like it is
Look you in yo' face and I'ma tell it like it is

Daddy, are you finished grown folk talk?
Yeah, baby, you can come in here
give Daddy a kiss, you know I love you, right?
And I love you
