Luyện nghe bài hát Tell It Like It Is

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

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

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

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

Get it mixed and mastered, up and plastered
Sell it to your whole hood out the trunk, ya
Show all the what you destined to be
And in a couple years, you could be rich like me

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

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

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

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

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

Rappers ain't above the law but our life is so
we got a special Task Force 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 hold my tongue, I'ma tell it like it is
This biz ain't all fun, I'ma 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 hold my tongue, I'ma tell it like it is
Man, this biz ain't all fun, 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 I'ma it like it is

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

Some don't own they publishin', me, I never fool '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 I'm supportin' the Hova
'Cause the industry's shady, it needs to be 'Taken
But the first to accumulation of wealth
Is don't trust nobody but your self

I can't hold my tongue, I'ma it like it is
Man, biz ain't 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 I'ma it like it is

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

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