Luyện nghe bài hát Tell It Like It Is

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

Yeah, things ain't always what seem or cracked up to be
all these fakin' ass rappers in this industry
Talkin' 'bout what they got and 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 your own company, the name
That's run ya about a grand, so start savin' your change

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

Get it mixed and mastered, pressed up and
Sell it to your hood out the trunk, ya bastard
Show all the what you destined to be
And in just a couple years, you be rich like me

But 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, tell it like it is
Look you straight in yo' face and tell it like it is

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

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

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

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

Rappers 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 wanna be a part of it?

I can't hold my tongue, tell it like it is
This biz all fun, I'ma 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 tell it like it is

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

What's worse than no money is havin' it and losin' it
What's worse than some money is grabbin' and abusin' it
We never took no money from Chingy, thought I was with him
I wish his ass well but I don't want to do with him

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

And believe that I'm the Hova
'Cause the industry's shady, it needs to be 'Taken
But the first to accumulation of wealth
Is trust nobody but your goddamn self

I can't my tongue, I'ma tell it like 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' face and I'ma it like it is

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

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