[01:25.71]See mostly all your favorite artists
[01:27.44]Got some serious problems
[01:29.06]The money could be the problem
[01:30.70]But money can't solve 'em
[01:32.19]Some get addicted to drugs and flat out lazy
[01:35.06]Some taste a little fame and go flat out crazy
[01:38.38]I'm close 'cause those close wanna live off my fame
[01:41.25]And that type of s*it alone will drive a ***** insane
[01:44.44]Not to mention all the vultures
[01:46.04]The scandelous promoters
[01:47.68]Crabs will try to sue ya
[01:49.33]Magazines will misquote ya
[01:51.15]Most of these label-heads
[01:52.25]They don't care nothin' about ya
[01:54.06]If you stop sellin' records
[01:55.35]They'll act like they don't know ya
[01:57.15]It's hard mixin' business with pleasure
[01:59.11]So don't play
[01:59.96]Me and my crew argue and fight like every other day
[02:03.15]Rappers ain't above the law
[02:04.68]But our life is so fast
[02:06.15]That we got a Special Task Force of police on our ass
[02:09.44]All that
[02:10.16]And this is really just the start of it
[02:12.34]Hip Hop
[02:13.10]You really wanna be a part of it
[02:15.46]I can't hold my tounge
[02:17.13]I'ma tell it like it is
[02:18.67]This biz ain't all fun
[02:20.31]I'ma tell it like it is

[02:40.68]What's worse than havin'
[02:41.75]No money is havin' it and losin' it
[02:43.94]What's worse than havin'
[02:44.88]Some money is grabbin' and abusin' it
[02:47.14]We never took no money from Chingy
[02:48.97]Thought I was cool wit him
[02:50.38]I wish his ass well
[02:51.51]But I don't want nothin' to do with him
[02:53.46]Some don't own they publis*in'
[02:54.71]Me I never fool wit 'em
[02:56.49]I'm down for my artists
[02:57.65]Try my best to stay true to 'em
[02:59.63]'Cause outside my label competition is irrelevant
[03:02.38]
[03:02.90]Unless I'm still in competition with my president
[03:06.25]And believe that I'm supportin' the Hova
[03:08.58]'Cause the industry's shady
[03:10.13]It needs to be taken over'
[03:11.71]But the first rule to accumalation of wealth
[03:14.72]Is Don't trust nobody but ya God damned self
