Luyện nghe bài hát Tell It Like It Is

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What's worse havin' no money is havin' it and losin' it
What's worse than havin' some money is 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

Some don't own they publishin', me, I fool with 'em
I'm down for my artists, try my best to stay to 'em
outside my label, competition is irrelevant
Unless I'm in competition with my president

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

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

I said, I can't hold my tongue, I'ma 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 straight in yo' face and tell it like it is

Daddy, are you finished this grown folk
Yeah, baby, you can come back in
Come Daddy a kiss, you know I love you, right?
And I love you
