The Bizness Video (MV)

I bust my ass to get a plate at the table
But the price of admission doesn't come with appraisals
I'm not hateful, you're f*cking ungracious
You only think i'm sick when it's contagious
You think fame and fortune don't come with a price?
You may say something mean, ya skills ain't nice
I'm the type to run up on you then walk by
My cover charge is on a scale, i let shit slide
Everyone raps and acts so self-important
Your bitch bad but the crowd hates your performance
F*ck rap! I'm here to tell you what it do
Ya by the book until i'm booked at venues
Balancing checkbooks, booking out back doors
I've paid my dues, now pay me what i've asked for
What i deserve isn't what you're worth
Put cash in the bag, stash it in my man purse

It's THE BIZNESS... keep things to yourself
It's THE BIZNESS... nobody asked for help
I may be socially conscious and versatile
But without connections, it's nothing personal
It's THE BIZNESS... keep things to yourself
It's THE BIZNESS... nobody asked for help
I may be socially conscious and versatile
But without connections, it's nothing personal

I'm out here working as a starving artist
Your flows not stupid, you just sound retarded
Hip hop's dead, alive in the underground
People turn up cus it's dumbed down
Turn down for what? Turn over in my grave
At the expense of listeners, i don't get paid
I made three f*cking dollars my last project
I can't turn up when i'm not turning a profit
Nobody splits the difference on the same bill
The scene's watered down, the mainstreams distilled
We want mass appeal but we're unoriginal
Cus' we can't reach the crowd by stretching syllables
I put in work, i'm about my craft
I write rhymes, promoters write checks they can't cash
What i deserve isn't what you're worth
Put cash in the bag or stash it in my man purse

It's THE BIZNESS... keep things to yourself
It's THE BIZNESS... nobody asked for help
I may be socially conscious and versatile
But without connections, it's nothing personal

It's THE BIZNESS... keep things to yourself
It's THE BIZNESS... nobody asked for help
I may be socially conscious and versatile
But without connections, it's nothing personal

It's THE BIZNESS... keep things to yourself
It's THE BIZNESS... nobody asked for help
I may be socially conscious and versatile
But without connections, it's nothing personal
