(xzibit): yea. that's I'm talking about
(ras k.): yea
(xzibit): the homie john up in this motherfucker
(ras k.): yea
(xzibit): mr. x to the z with a service announcement
For all you ass rappers
(ras k.): that?
(xzibit): they think just a nigga's rapping
With a label behind him, all great
(ras k.): yep
(xzibit): it's day pimps and hoes going on

Ask epmd, rap is out of control
Cause hip-hop glocks = scott la rock, tupac and biggie smalls
I figure y'all niggaz brawl for of protocol
Now I'm gonna take matters my own hands, like masturbation
Another 39 suicidal rap is at gate waiting to battle with satan
Rassassination: taking like decapitation (ching!)
Trapped in (really)? back up off me
Kiss my ass. then up n' smell the coffee
See, you're broke and unknown, your baby's mama clown you
Your family down's you. don't want your own kid you
You ain't shit. don't do
Ain't gone be shit. so it's quits
Two video's later, on your dick (bitch)
When albums selling, she "don't worry, be happy."
to her friends: "that's just my babies daddy!"
And sadly, niggaz start acting they shit don't stink
But wait: you getting cut like the wedding
The music business is mafioso:
Jewish, italiano, and
My bmi/ascap platinum placque rap
Bootleg my shit to japan. at meets, sell my same shit back
Long break legs. we break beats state to state
And record deals? shit belong with a fucked up interest rate

(chorus 2x):
(parish smith sample): please, music please
(color me bad sample): "why you treat me so "
(parish smith sample): music please..music
(other sample): "i know why baby!"
(xzibit): just handle your

(verse 2)
It's sort of the label is the devil:
R&b, pop, to heavy metal
They make doe the ghet-to
mates: different rats in the same rat race
The production company is the nigga that you to hate
Management is your crimy. lawyer is your liar
And when your but po', you set your accountants office on fire
It's like they loan you $1
For you just to break even, stack $10
When you finally make one dollar, your profit is andrew ($20)
You skinny. got plenty. the benjamins? before you see any
They g's: big cheese.
No vaseline dope m.c.'s, "so freeze"
Call the police chief? it takes a
Here's you need to know about the record industry,
a chief.
'cause labels is $300,000 deals;
Blowing coke smoke up my ass, but we both crack kills.
Not many, rappers ever see a penny
But double platinum is two units. cd's cost $20.
(too true) so here's a
Somebody make $40,000,000 and it sho' wasn't you

(chorus 2x):
(parish smith sample): music please, music
(color me bad sample): "why you me so bad? "
(parish smith sample): please..music please.
(other sample): "i know why baby!"
(xzibit): just handle business.

to know the relationship between hip-hop and drugs?
'cause professional athletes, black actors, rappers, and
All sleep in the same bed
Rich black niggaz only kick it with other black people cheddar
Same lifestyle: or illegal
It be us, swinging a three fuck skeed up with peanuts
Which leads up to this: a high turnover
Groupies tricks and be quick to give fellatio.
Mc's get the and fame.
Brothers essex with a corporate card
And charge it to the rappers
But the label owners make all the money
ask david geffrey, barry gordy, russel, or puffy (ching, ching!)
Business? you get what you deserve. you negotiate
And everything is renegotiable on the sales you generate
But hip-hop fans don't buy albums, and, then again, to player hate
The rapper that went pop. but this, I never knew
Skills don't pay the fucking bills. money do
Is you stupid? how nice I represent don't pay
The r&b ho who jock theo on the radio buy cd doe.
Rap magazines be screaming they it real
But keep it on the cover
Pulling tennis shoe and advertisements. no wonder
common "i used to love h.e.r."
Now I just h.e.r. with two rubbers

(chorus: repeats end):
(parish smith sample): please, music please
(color me bad sample): "why you me so bad? "
(parish smith sample): music please..music
(other sample): "i don't why baby!"
(xzibit): handle your business
