Luyện nghe bài hát Tell It Like It Is

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

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

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

Open a account quick and then follow these steps
Sign yourself to yourself and signin' ya own checks
Hit the booth and start recordin' at the speed and
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
all the non-believers what you destined to be
And in a couple years, you could be rich like me

But I hold my tongue, I'ma 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 tell it 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
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 tell it it is

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

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

Most of these heads, they don't care nothin' about ya
If you stop sellin' records, they'll act like don't know ya
It's hard 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 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 tell it it is
Look you straight in yo' face and I'ma tell it it is

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

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

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

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

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

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

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