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 other
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 they got and they got a damn thang
How you own cars but you don't own your own name?

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

Open a bank account quick and follow these steps
Sign yourself to yourself and start signin' ya own
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 whole out the trunk, ya bastard
Show all the non-believers what you 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
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

I can't hold my tongue, I'ma 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
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 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 wanna live off my fame
And that of shit alone'll drive a nigga insane
Not to mention all the vultures, the promoters
Crabs'll try to sue you, will misquote ya

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

Rappers ain't above the law but our life is so
That we got a special Task 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, 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 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 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

What's worse havin' 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, I was cool with him
I wish his ass well but I want nothin' to do with him

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

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 trust but your goddamn self

I hold my tongue, I'ma tell it like it is
Man, biz ain't 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' face and I'ma it like it is

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

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