itand's like a friendship and a business partnership
and we have to always be concious of the difference
between em; because yand'know some things can happen
thatand'll ruin one or the other so

those obstacles that can yand'know trip us up
because we ainand't trying to go out like that

son youand're supposed to be my man, but you ainand't wise enough to realize
this is b.i., see i wanna taste the whole cake
some things in this industry, shit be so fake
make no mistake, if youand're my man youand'd understand
about the plan, to stack hundreds of grands (thatand's right!)
and how to stand, on much more acres of land
and to expand from the days of goin hand to hand
so like i was ceo i do my thing son
and turn this underground rap thing to my kingdom
release a fistful, of rhymes for the fiscal year
mcand's are wishful fuckin with this here
they stuck with the tear, for fear they foresake a brotherand's love
itand's clear -- iand'd have to be the better man iand'm thinkin
the 7th letter man ainand't got no time for petty speakin (uhh)
so we go our seperate ways i see the fork in the road
i know i blessed you with a portion of gold
and some good fortune to hold, so keep that
while i keep it movin, just like truckloads
of interstate cargo, taxin niggaz like u.s. embargoes
you my man like i said so all the best
you shoulda known we do shit differently than all of the rest
canand't afford to let a link be, loose in the chain
itand's time for us to get mad more, juice in the game
youand're buggin son (thatand's right) thatand's word to billy and fame
so iand'ma stay the game, that we play to win (yeah!)
so i donand't care what you say to her or say to him
the object son, is to excel and lead
and niggaz be bluffin fallin for nothin but greed
Chorus: m.o.p. and guru
[m.o.p.] if itand's animosity
[guru] let me know
[m.o.p.] if you plottin to stop my dough
[liland' fame] time to go!
[m.o.p.] gangstarr, m.o.p. nigga
[billy danze] tryin to blow!
[m.o.p.] if you my man you could understand!
*repeat 2x*
[liland' fame]
iand'm true to myself yand'all, and iand'm a down ass nigga!
so donand't fool yourself, clown ass nigga!
i always been the type of cat thatand'll put it on ya
since back in the days when laze snatched me off the corner
and every since then, the whole game changed
everybodyand's against, liland' ass fame
they wanna see me stretched out with my back smokin
left for dead in the street with my back opened
so i donand't keep friends i just roll with
niggaz i was raised with, went out in a blaze with
in the penile, to b.ville, down to grayson
and we thick together, in these last days kid
so i donand't have what you call friends
cause when itand's on then they gone in the end!
but iand'ma handle my business indeed
cause niggaz be bluffin fallin for nothin but greed!
Chorus
[billy danze]
hey yo what happened to the love soldier? it never crossed my mind
that you would doubt my love inside and test my pride
i divide, anything that i got
with my m.o.p. staff -- we all and we out!
to the first family loyalty, is no game
we them type of niggaz that, money wonand't change
we all aim, for the big picture
but to me it donand't mean shit if your dogs ainand't witcha
i sacrifice my main arteries -- why nigga?!
ainand't nobody never loved me, like my niggaz
see my business is my friendship and my friendship is my business
can i get a witness?! (preach on nigga!)
hey yo we went through all out wars, half-assed tours
travelled and'cross this land with heavy contraband
(see you my man!) and you ainand't never got to
second guess or question the love of william danze (shoand' nuff!)
i am invaluable, to my niggaz
cause they all rest there in thirty-two -- better than nothin!
think of william when they start bustin, i hold you down
(when them body parts pop up cousin) iand'll be around!
