Various Artists - Strictly Business lyrics

Verse 1: Back in the days I made up my mind That I would be a king, you know, genuine Reign supreme at the top of the heap And like working all day, no time to sleep Destined to rise, in front of your eyes So we surmise, it's time for the prize The time has come, we gotta be number one The world is full of power and we got to get some No more beggin and useless teardrops So I'm trading these teardrops for props Goin' all the way and with my powerful team Conquering the world and I'ma rise like cream All out, putting heads to bed Cause I'm a grown man and I hate to get spoon-fed Wisdom, son, I rose in the east Till we reach the top, won't be no peace, cause it's Chorus: Strictly business, strictly business Ain't no way I'm gonna stop Strictly business, ain't no time to get more Gotta make it to the top Verse 2: Everything we do, gotta be brand new The moves we make, gotta make the earth shake Sitting at my desk, cause I manifest to my team Big plans that'll make us the best Cause we can rule this game we all play Pop champagne and make everyday a holiday Smooth as a rose but hard like steel From now on, I'ma make my dreams real On a mission, gotta get there If you wanna rule, you gotta be in there Our masterplan is the best And ain't a man alive that'll beat us to a conquest Cause this is the reason we was born To rock on and on and on and on Look at my eyes, it's hypnotizing Word is bond, we gotta keep on rising Chorus Strictly business, life is hard to handle Ain't no way I'm gonna stop Strictly business, ain't no time to get more Gotta make it to the top Verse 3: I'ma be a legend in all the books and mags Stuffin' the cash inside garbage bags Ain't no time to waste, we gotta motivate Pa** anybody that stops to get gas Forever and a day, my destiny's set No sweat, I make it rougher than rougher gets Hold on tight, if not, get blown away Pick up the pieces 'cause we're known to say Radical things to get a champion's ring Give it up, punk, don't make me swing We planned ahead to get the bu*ter and the bread Dressed in black and I'm stayin' out the red So when it comes to like taking charge Get props for where they do and stop frontin' on tar Gotta go for what you know to be the cream of the crop With the power of God, I'ma rise to the top, it's Chorus Strictly business, life is hard to handle Ain't no way I'm gonna stop Strictly business, ain't no time to get more Gotta make it to the top Outro: Uncle L (uhh!) (repeat 16X)
