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

Get your right, boys, the first class 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 start your change

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

Get it mixed and mastered, pressed up and
it to your whole hood out the trunk, ya bastard
Show all the non-believers what you 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 it like it is
Look you straight in yo' and I'ma tell it like it is

I hold my tongue, I'ma 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
you straight in yo' face and I'ma tell it like it is

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

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

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

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

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

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, I'ma tell it it is
Look you straight in yo' and I'ma tell it like it is

What's than havin' no money is havin' it and losin' it
What's worse than some 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 want nothin' 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 believe that I'm supportin' the
the industry's shady, it needs to be 'Taken Over'
But the rule to accumulation of wealth
Is don't nobody but your goddamn self

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 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 said, I can't hold my tongue, I'ma tell it it is
This biz all fun, I'ma tell it like it is
give 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 this grown folk
Yeah, baby, you can come in here
Come give a kiss, you know I love you, right?
And I you always
