Lil' Flip - The Biz lyrics

(Lil' Flip talkin) Ay this is for everybody That wanna get in the rap game This is for everybody That think you just get in the rap game And blow up over night This is for everybody that think Its easy to be on T.V in front of limo's And buy rolex's ha its better known As bleed and s** look (Verse One: Flip) I started rappin when I was about thirteen I was into basketball not this hip hop thing I started doin talent shows I was bein curious But I didn't know one day I would be serious I use to always freestyle until the end of the beat And I use to take my demo's to the end of my street To another local rapper I thought could help But in this rap game people all about theyself So that made me work harder I picked up my pin All though I kinda felt bad I picked up my chin I made my own rap group Hustlaz Stackin Endz And I can't wait for me and Hump to drive a platinum benz (Chorus) Its the biz (where anything can happen) Its the biz (everybody and they mama be rappin) Its the biz (everybody gotta shine rule one Read before you sign that dotted line) (Verse Two: Flip) So I started freestylin every chance I got The word on the street was Lil' Flip is hot I'm the hardest B.G rhymin in my state Thats when C-Note let me do "Diamonds-N-Yo-Face" Song was gettin played like fifty times a day Then we hit the road doin shows tryna get paid I started doin karioes tryna get out there It didn't take long for me to put another hit out there Now I'm in the studio tryna make dollar bills Some people owe me fa sho since they live down the street Rollers actin like they broke (man show us some love) I'm tired of hearin that sh** all the time Me and Hump puttin it down n***a I ain't lyin I got record labels mad cause I ain't sign Some n***as stealin my rhymes but I'm still gon' shine If you can't see this biz dirty then you must be blind (Chorus) Its the biz (I'm tryna survive) Its the biz (man forget a ninety five) Its the biz (boy the game is cursole sometimes You just can't think like the rest) (Verse Three: Hump) Its a dirty game but who's to blame I'm a stay independent y'all choose the fame Ain't nothin changed still workin the clock 95 made outta wood and a sun roof on top And when we sittin on ya block y'all beez in shock Cause Houston got Lil' Flip like caddie have crop When you see s**a Free give us our props Cause we run this rap game believe it or not (Lil' Flip talkin) Now you got two choices You can be a rapper or you can be a C-E-O Either you can be with the devil Or you can be with god Which one you wanna be with (Verse Four: Flip) And if you ain't gettin sued then you might be suin And if your fans ain't clappin they might be booin And if you ain't gettin paid then you might not get paid I'm sorry sometimes thats how the game gets played And if you ain't on tour you might not have one Its 90% business the other half fun Some n***as get raped for everything they earn Its just like s** with no protection you get burned (Chorus) Its the biz (I'm s**a Free) Its the biz (everybody want luxury) Its the biz (you know what I mean lets talk about Contracts and get the green) (Flip) I heard...you got jacked for your ride Its the biz I heard...a n***a usin your lines Its the biz I heard...a n***a bought you a car Its the biz He said that he gon' make you a star And you ain't seen no money so far Thats the biz and now you know Knowin is half the battle thats the biz
