Big business, it's all around
Big business, let's bring it down
Big business, the FDA
Big business, the placebo way
Big business, Nike shoes
Big business, sweathouse blues
Big business, Tobacco Company
Big business for the mortuary
Nothing's free
Pay for it all
Can't you see?
Nations will fall
[Chorus:]
Big business
Big business
Big business
Big business
War for peace
The Middle East
Big business, the Church always wins
Big business, paying for sins
Big business, oil prices
Big business, war devices
Nothing's free
Pay for it all
Rising fee
Nations will fall
{xzibit}
Mi casa es su casa
Mi raza es su raza
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Kid frost
This is big business, understand me?
Yeah, you can't take no for a answer
Welcome to the world of big business, lives get broken and made
You're walkin barefoot in a room full of razorblades
We're playin catch with a hand grenade
Cause what you faggot niggas caught
Spread you all over the asphalt
Walk the walk, talk to nobody
Spark the chrome shotie
Whenever they run up on your home, gotti
Gangsta, gangsta, read all about it
Xzibit get your whole shit crowded
And packed to capacity
You actually had the audacity
To want some problems with the x man
Lift you off your feet with the back of my left hand
Learn one of life's hard lessons
You can't negotiate with a weapon
When it's fully loaded and cocked
Hollow points shot
Next to the firing pin, with the hammer ready to drop
I took you off, so accept the loss
Crack open some olde english that's covered with frost
And it's like that
[ chorus ]
Can you feel it, nothing can save ya
For this is the season for stackin the papers
Chasin my chips till my last days
Hit a million dollar lick and split it three ways
{frost}
I'm in pursuit of them hundred dollar big faces
Wrapped in rubber bands in em bulletproof briefcases
Please understand automatically
One squeeze of the trigger cause tragedy
Casually fucked around and got your whole family mad at me
My strategy: subtract enemies mathematically
Frost will kick your head off slow, you ain't as bad as me
50/50 - half gangster, half hustler
One side's about my business, and the other side's a muthafucka
So when I creep, I crawl, I'm like swiss-made
Fuck are you, bitch-made, I slice you with my switchblade
Razor, got the h-k with the laser
Slid the enterpriser, rent a 99 black blazer
I shot straight at merino
Thousand dollar suite, layin low at the peppermint casino
I been a player before I had riches
And now I'm eatin steak and crab and fuckin bad bitches
[ chorus ]
{jayo felony}
I don't give a fuck about not one of y'all
Disrespect this here, nigga, it's real clear I'm gunnin y'all
When night falls, nah fuck, night flies a kite
I take flight like delta, nigga, helter skelter
Who the fuck could you call to help ya
Nigga, good health couldn't help ya
Put the 's' in spit, bust your tightest shit, never felt ya
Could you picture yourself in the same room when I let these off
Two rivals, suicidal, take the strap and squeeze off
But before you do it, I take the heater and shoot both your knees off
Let him suffer, can't get enough of, I'm rougher
Go get my ammunitions and paper, nigga, cause it's a habit
Let off on ya in a 600, or let's call em rabbit
Is it tragic how the automatic made you breathe like a asthmatic
Static, what's that? that shit that get up in my fabric
I'm into bitches and beamers and my chips
And I'm keepin four eyes on em schemers when I dip, bitch
Think you've had enough-
Stop talking, help us get ready
Think you've had enough-
Big business, after the shakeup
Think you've had enough-
Stop talking, help us get ready
And you think you've had enough
Big business, after the shakeup
Get ready get ready
Stop talking, help us get ready
(featuring Ron Isley)
(Ron Isley singing)
Swizz Beatz, show 'em what they dealin with
Wooo! Oh yeahhhh! Ahh Yeahh
(Ron Isley singing - Chorus x2)
Hey ladies, can I get a witness?
Lah da da da da-da
Tell 'em what they dealin with
Throw your hands in the air (big business)
Throw your hands in the air (yeah! yeah!)
Hey fellas, tell 'em what they dealin with
Big house (throw your hands in the air), big boats
Big cars (throw your hands in the air), superstars
(Verse 1 - Jadakiss)
Fuck a six and a seven I'ma put big dubs on the gray eight
Hold your wrist when you squeeze, the slugs'll stay straight
Can I get a witness, Swizz Beatz the monster
Jadakiss, Mr. Biggs, its big business
Nigga this is our show
Twenty two master bedrooms in the crib
The garage like the car show
Not only am I real, I think
But I still jab a nigga with the left and won't spill my drink
The Courvoisier got me clashes
Honey all over me like ashes
Throwin that green molases
Your dealin with D-Block, and Full Surface
And ain't no payment plans its full purse-full
(Chorus x2)
(Verse 2 - Jadakiss)
A'yo I'm dealin with this mami from Quebec
When she fly out I pull the boat out and blow scomie on the deck
Shootin at the stars, Tommy and the Tek
Soon as the dutch finish you can find me on the neck
No foreplay, bustin the pound raise me
Middle of the ocean, bustin her down crazy
You know me, I ain't on no star shit
I just came to hurt the market
Then squirt the Larkin
Put your hands up, matter fact put your mans up
Put your medina's and your lambs up, your grams up
Talkin bout buckin each other
Probly fuckin each other
D-Block dawg, we stuck with each other
(Chorus x2)
(Verse 3 - Jadakiss)
A'yo Full Surface, Swizz Beatz is in front of him
Got alot of problems but money ain't one of 'em
D 12's and up, thats our M-O
Tell me what you know bout a jet ski limo
Waterproof knockin it, ain't no stoppin it
Automatic respect whenever D-Block's in it
Or we can take it to the avenue too
Bring the Porsche GT out, lavender blue
Shit change, Kiss came its all extortion
Everybody meet, except for smaller portions
For real though, behave yourself on some grown shit
It ain't enough room dawg, I'm on my own hit
(Chorus x2)
(Ron Isley singing)
Big Businesssss, Jadakiss
Ohhh why dont you rap to 'em one tiiime
Show em who they dealin wit
[Featuring Ed Edge]
Big business
He's an enigma wrapped up in a conundrum
He's a mystery tragic like an ailing paramedic
My heart booms to see you're still standing
I know that your faiths can be demanding
With those cables all plugged in your head
In Poughkeepsie I thought you were dead
Ed Edge
He's Ed Edge
He's an enigma wrapped up in a conundrum
He's a mystery tragic like an ailing paramedic
Like me tell you about Ed Edge...
Mexico City
He's a Buddhist, Christian, paramedic, vegan, straight edge pimp but most of all...
He's big
Under an attack of the heart
He knows the sign
Holds it close to his heart all the time
He's a believer, a healer, a sexuality stealer
Where have you been Ed?
Where are you going to?
He drifts on soul tides from island birth
... he arrives
Golden heart and black hands
A human male. He's just a man.
Where have you been Ed?
Where are you going to?
Where have you been Ed?
No questions, I pledge resistance
To the grass that hides the snakes of America
So they watch it, now I walk with caution
More careful, put more thought to options
Is the opposite of progress Congress?
From the school to the street, we're beyond stress
But I fight for peace, that's what the problem is
War is big biz, ask an economist
Speak in volumes callin' anti-war
And anti-American synonymous
Back in the day I would've gotten
Black listed just for speakin' up
Hoover probably would've screamed Communist!
I want black and brown unity
But cats get out
To bring the jail to the community
Fightin's nothin' new to me
I even corrected
What the public school system
Tried to do to me
Here's a spark encoded in rhyme
And love for everyone of the devoted in line
We call it art, some call it a crime
It's the rap Michael Moore, like Bowling for Columbine
On drums, Fahrenheit, 9 1 1
Al Queda hit the Apple and the world was stunned
The villain trained by the hero for the killing
Now you twist dollar twenty bills to see buildings
Under heavy surveillance
They might call you a traitor
If you want something greater
Don't get me wrong
America's a great place to live
Just listen to the knowledge I give
If more than half the budget goes to military spending
Less than half goes to whatever it's defending
One nation, many Gods, individuals with liberties
And justice for all who are miserable
[Unverified]
Yeah Babu, Dilated Peoples

'cause, it's big business, it big business bitch
It's big business, it big business bitch (x2)
(lord infamous)
As I cut, guts poor
Blood washes from the shore
To da sand, as a thousand veins,
Center through my hand,
Can I whip, stand a man
From the underland of pain
As his brains, hit the grains
And I bury the remains, from my face
Pissin through a bitches ? ? ? ,
Infamous bring out the sack of the serial killas
Triple six murderers
Now leave it enough, whenever you come
They be ready to cook, now rev up the hood
And these niggas could to be these infamous could
And the mafia villains would fuck up a rookie
Drop him to his knees wit a n-i-n-e slugs, get done
And bloody up your mug
Because we really love to make a stand
It's the high capitol make me touch a man
I got the scope, and not the kind that kills bad
Breath
I got the kind that like to fuck up ya good health
Everybody in this bitch lets tear some shit up
Tear da club up thugs
On ya spot, put'm up

Hater's in my face,

Range, range, range,
Rover, rover, rover,
Blow this fuckin' task
Police pull me over
But I blast on these hoes
Cause I'm too fuckin dangerous
Prophet the posse,
I doubt you hoes could hang wit us
Killin all you nigga's is a easy task
You fools that last,

To yo muthafuckin crib,
Soon as I find out where you live
Flashlights see yo face
Mario a murder case
Roamin through the muthafuckin black haven area
Prophet is my posse, I doubt you see something scarer
Plenty talk shit, but they ain't nothing but
Characters

(repeat chorus 2x)
(juicy j)
First I wanna grab a nigga by his neck,
Drag him to my fuckin set,
Take a nigga blow, and his cheese, and dem cigarettes
Put the gun up to his nose
Tie him up from head to toe
Strap his body in a bag

Tear da club up thugs, in this muthafucker runnin'

Holycaust wit a grip
Crazyndalazdaz I'm bout to have a fuckin fit
Hold me back don't let me go
I'm high as hell and on the road
Nigga I break off in ya house,
And boot yo baby wit a pole
Lunatic superstitious, on the corner like I'm pimpin
If I see ya on the block, I'm fuckin,
Fuckin wit the quickness
(lord infamous)
Sign your name on the dotted line
They promised a future, they promised you money
Time goes by, you're still the same
Just another victim of the system
We don't need you! NO!
Try and fight back for all that you had
Now it's too late you're better off dead
Sacrifice to try and succeed
Now you're alone and you're still in need
A career came first, and I come last
Now my future is buried in my past
Struggle for your family, a never ending fight
I've become nothing in my loved ones eyes.
You take the East
I'll take the West
If we end up in the middle then we know
You start sinking, better grab your oars and row
Can't draw a map with honey (?)
Not a lesson that's just good advice
On explaining how it happened twice, it happened thrice.
If you're talking you better be walking
And please take the path that you know
You start thinking
Making up the lines as you go
You take the East
And I'll take the West
If we end up in the middle then we know
You start sinking, better grab your oars and row
Can't draw a map with honey (?)
Not a lesson that's just good advice
On explaining how it happened twice, it happened thrice.
If you're talking you better be walking
And please take the path that you know
You start thinking
Making up the lines as you go
You take the East
And I'll take the West
If we end up in the middle then we know
"PAINT BY THE NUMBERS
COMPARED TO THE OTHERS
IT JUST SEEMS SO TERRIBLY CLOSE
CUE UP THE LAUGH TRACK
I WANT MY OWN LIFE BACK
AND ALL OF THE JOKES THAT WE HAD
THIS ONES A KEEPER
YOU CAN'T MAKE IT SWEETER
BY FILLING IT OVER THE TOP
CH : MAKE MINE BLACK, DON'T GO EASY
i'm happy and flattered a
and nothing else matters
You've given us all a head start
enough with the fodder
why even bother
we know in the end
these things will keep falling apart
How many people are needed to turn on this life
How many people, how many people
Everyone's crying, nobodies breathing
Too scared to listen to what they've been thinking
How many people are needed to turn on this life
Oh no, they ain't your baby, you just turn them away 'cause
We got no guarantees except for being cold
Oh no, they ain't your people, you just turn them away 'cause
We got no guarantees except for being cold
How many people are needed to turn on this life
How many people, how many people
Everyone's crying, nobodies breathing
Too scared to listen to what they've been thinking
How many people are needed to turn on this life
Oh no, they ain't your baby, you just turn them away 'cause
We got no guarantees except for being cold
Oh no, they ain't your people, you just turn them away 'cause
We got no guarantees except for being cold
Have the wits, have the spite
Hopefully everything works out just fine
Grab the bottle it's not even wine
It's plentifully seasoned with evil, oh no
Grab a shovel and start your digging, men
Grab a shovel and start your digging, men
What could go wrong I can't count the number of ways
You could be mauled or burned for starters
You could still drown in knee deep waters
That's enough to hold up and hide in this cave
What could go wrong I can't count the number of ways
You could be struck by lightening walking
Look at the cross and your soul starts talking
Nothing prepares you for the freeze that's coming
I won't dare, I won't dare
I think I feel a wicked breeze blowing
I won't dare, I won't dare
Nothing prepares you for the freeze that's coming
I won't dare, I won't dare
I think I feel a wicked breeze blowing
I won't dare, I won't dare
Nothing prepares you for the freeze that's coming
Lights out and draw the curtains
I got the means
Wait patiently
I won't dare, I won't dare
Wait patiently
Nothing prepares you for the breeze that's coming
I won't care
I won't care
I think I feel a wickid breeze blowing
I won't dare
I won't dare
Lie down and drown your good dreams
I've got the means
I won't dare
I won't dare
That's enough to hold up and hide in the shade
Lie down and drown your good dreams
Before loneliness will break my heart,
send me a postcard darling.
How can I make you understand?
I wanna be a woman.
Here, here I'm waiting for a little sign,
waiting 'til the end of time.
Send me a postcard darling.
Send me a poscard now.
Send me a postcard darling.
Send me a postcard now.
I can't take the lonely night,
I need someone I can turn to.
Look out the day I see a little sign,
even though you're on my mind.
Yeah, oh please don't let me down.
There ain't no lover like me in town.
Send me a postcard darling.
Send me a poscard now.
Send me a postcard darling.
Send me a postcard now.
Before loneliness will break my heart,
send me a postcard darling.
How can I make you understand?
I wanna be your man.
Yeah, I'm waiting for a little sign,
waiting 'til the end of time.
Send me a postcard darling.
Send me a poscard now.
Send me a postcard darling.
Keeping it down
Hold it away
This is a one horse town
Don't make a job of this feeling
Down, hold it away
Might as well plant it's all gone to seed
Wait 'til tomorrow it's grown into weeds
Might as well plant, plant, plant, plant
Might as well plant it, we got all we need
In reference to those days we're leaving
I'd blame you but its not your fault
Buried alive while they're bleeding
Maybe well never live through this night
We don't know this and
We don't know this and
For weeks now, you run and you talked in your sleep
You shook me awake to announce, you're never alone
Spring was confusing, a little bit scary
Summer was much of the same
By Winter you run with the nights, never came home
For weeks now, run and you talked in your sleep
You shook me awake to announce, you're never alone
Spring was confusing, a little bit scary
Summer was much of the same
By Winter you run with the nights, never came home
Scream bloody murder, the mountains are listening
(?) has left you for dead, bloody
How can you sleep when you can't pull the teeth from your eyes
Scream bloody murder, the mountains are listening
(?) has left you for dead, bloody
How can you sleep when you can't pull the teeth from your eyes
Scream bloody murder, the mountains are listening
(?) has left you for dead, bloody
How can you sleep when you can't pull the teeth from your eyes
For weeks now, you run and you talked in your sleep
You shook me awake to announce, you're never alone
Spring was confusing, a little bit scary
Summer was much of the same
While you were sleeping
Been doing some thinking
Everyone's taking a side
The Ayes all and any
The nayes half as many
There's plan to put break in your stride
Became crystal clear when we cracked the veneer
That nobody wanted us here
We're out of the habit, stead chasing rabbits
Goddamnit, it's not how we planned it
It's not like it used to be, ancient history
Why are we throwing those stones
Cold sweat and blistering, sounds like a plea to me
Don't just go throwing your words, save your breath and be still
Save your breath and be still
No other traumas have weighed quite this dark
There's still light but you can't force the tides
You won't know if you're coming in light 'til your ship has arrived
Relish this moment, 'til death do us part
I want answers before it's too late
Take your time old man, take your time
Take your time old man, take your time
These vultures are happy to wait
Savor the sympathy, one final victory_________
Bring me ____________, look it's not hard to find
Skeletons under your bed, save your breath and be still
Save your breath and be still
No other traumas have weighed quite this dark
There's still light but you can't force the tides
You won't know if you're coming in light til your ship has arrived
Relish this moment, 'til death do us part
I want answers before it's too late
Take your time old man
These vultures are happy to wait
I'd like to forgive and forget, but I can't
It's just one of the ways that I'm petty
I'll leave you to carry this weight, to burden the rest of your days
I'll leave you to carry this weight, all alone
And no single regret to the grave
It's not like it used to be, ancient history
Why are we throwing those stones
Cold sweat and blistering, sounds like a plea to me
Don't just go throwing your words, save your breath and be still
Save your breath and be still
No other traumas have weighed quite this dark
There's still light but you can't force the tides
You won't know if you're coming in light 'til your ship has arrived
Relish this moment, 'til death do us part
I want answers before it's too late
Take your time old man
Stampede, stampede
Hands up, hands up, hands up

Look at the family, it's still growing old
Hands up, hands up, hands up

I heard he dabbled into witchcraft
I heard occult
Oh, they're pretty much the same
I guess he was adopted
or raised by wolves
That's ridiculous to say
I heard he boiled over
cursed the town
had the touch
so nothing grew
I heard that too
It's true
(That's a lie!)
I heard he spoke in tongues
You're crazy
I heard he was a refugee
I heard he was a monster
a scary ghost
Oh you know there's no such thing
I heard he boiled over
cursed the town
had the touch
so nothing grew
I heard that too
It's true
(That's a lie!)
We're left with some stories inert
But this is the part that will hurt
And nobody learned
And now nothing grows here
Always a sign of remarkable man
Then one day he'd had it
And threw up his hands
He filled up his lungs
And he pulled out his hair
And he curled up his lips
And he bellowed:
"You'll never know!
How sorry you'll be!"
I heard he dabbled into witchcraft
I heard occult
Oh, they're pretty much the same
I guess he was adopted
or raised by wolves
That's ridiculous to say

Then one day he'd had it
And threw up his hands
He filled up his lungs
And he pulled out his hair
And he curled up his lips
And he bellowed:
"You'll never know!
How sorry you'll be!"
The looks on their faces
You'd swear they were dead
It finally sunk into their bones
what he said:
"The seed will be bitter!
The harvest will crumble!
Your fields will lay fallow for years
and nothing will grow!"
People will speak of him
once in a while
As legend would have it
You'll hear it for miles
He'll curse up a blue streak
Add lead to the earth
And stink like all manner of things
There's no need to panic
But we're losing the light
And we haven't built shelter
And it's starting to rain
What if he's watching
What if it comes from the sky
What if it bites
WHat if we're bitten (what if we're bitten!)
What if we're snatched up by our sleep in disguise
Then you boil with fever
Take my advice
Don't come any closer
Don't you come any closer
You're giving us all away
Hold on with your clenched fingers
In the way that it shines
With it so bad it's no easy thing
Turning red into white
Take my advice
Don't come any closer
Don't you come any closer
You're giving us all away
Hold on with your clenched fingers
In the way that it shines
With it so bad it's no easy thing
Turning red into white
Keep it and throw mine away
Keep it and throw mine away
Sail the coast
See that you blazed the coast
I can't get this ship turned around
(and they claimed
they could stop
well play some metal.)
Only noone would stop!
We did not play to see Banshees,
and Ghosts running down
Only replayed
Scratch at the door, they offer no help
Open the curtains and see for yourself
We're not hesitating, we're biding our time
Wait for the moment we jump into line
Where is that infantry
We scratch at the door, they offer no help
Open the curtains and see for yourself
Women and children come bearing their teeth
(?) deliver relief
Gauchos, can send us out to sea
We've blown this all aside
I hear them still inside
Sound the alarm its all that we need
Garrisons bloodied, stomachs to feed
We've ventured too far, we can never go back
Courage and spades, numbers we lack
It's not that it matters, we just didn't see
Sound the alarms, steady she be
We've know this all this time
One, two, be stiff!
be stiff b-abies be stiff
fruit ooze is wetly lewd so
stay dry in rubber boots and
be stiff b-abies be stiff
cucumbers ripe and rude
bend over fixed to shoot and
be stiff b-abies be stiff
breath hard in metal suits now
live right make lots of loot and
be stiff!
be stiff b-abies be stiff
wet women waste your food
go solo no no two's and

Creeping, we're gaining an inch at a time
Can't believe you don't believe me
These consciences they talk to themselves
And the bruises to show
Eyes that are turning completely white
Completely white
Completely white
Completely white
I can't think that that's coming back
How can you say without feeling
How can you go when you run out of time
All of the pieces you need
I've got a few you can borrow
Worried the weather tomorrow will bring
Head for the shallow
How can you say without feeling
How can you go when you run out of time
All of the pieces you need
I've got a few you can borrow
Worried the weather tomorrow will bring
Creeping, we're gaining an inch at a time
Can't believe you don't believe me
These consciences they talk to themselves
And the bruises to show
Completely white
Completely white
Completely white
Completely white
Head for the shallow
All of the pieces you need
I've got a few you can borrow
Worried the weather tomorrow will bring
Head for the shallow
I've got a few you can borrow
Worried the weather tomorrow will bring
How can
Big Business
It's the Union Carbide Chemical Corporation.
Clouds of toxic chemicals unleashed on you.
There's no place, no place for sentiment
In Business, Big business
Thousands of people dead,
and meanwhile they don't care.
There's no place, no place for sentiment
In Business, Big Business
Shit on, Pissed on,
and then they take your life
In Business, BIg Business
Lied to, exploited, cheated and decieved
Lied to, exploited, cheated and deceased
In Business, Big Business
Thousands of people dead,
Meanwhile they don't care.
There's no place, no place for sentiment
In Business, Big Business.

Mi casa es su casa
Mi raza es su raza
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
[Kid Frost]
This is big business, understand me?
Yeah, you can't take no for a answer
Welcome to the world of big business, lives get broken and made
You're walkin barefoot in a room full of razorblades
We're playin catch with a hand grenade
Cause what you faggot niggas caught
Spread you all over the asphalt
Walk the walk, talk to nobody
Spark the chrome shotie
Whenever they run up on your home, Gotti
Gangsta, gangsta, read all about it
Xzibit get your whole shit crowded
And packed to capacity
You actually had the audacity
To want some problems with the X Man
Lift you off your feet with the back of my left hand
Learn one of life's hard lessons
You can't negotiate with a weapon
When it's fully loaded and cocked
Hollow points shot
Next to the firing pin, with the hammer ready to drop
I took you off, so accept the loss
Crack open some Olde English that's covered with frost
And it's like that
[CHORUS]
Can you feel it, nothing can save ya
For this is the season for stackin the papers
Chasin my chips till my last days
Hit a million dollar lick and split it three ways
[Frost]
I'm in pursuit of them hundred dollar big faces
Wrapped in rubber bands in em bulletproof briefcases
Please understand automatically
One squeeze of the trigger cause tragedy
Casually fucked around and got your whole family mad at me
My strategy: subtract enemies mathematically
Frost will kick your head off slow, you ain't as bad as me
50/50 - half gangster, half hustler
One side's about my business, and the other side's a muthafucka
So when I creep, I crawl, I'm like Swiss-made
Fuck are you, bitch-made, I slice you with my switchblade
Razor, got the H-K with the laser
Slid the Enterpriser, rent a 99 black Blazer
I shot straight at Merino
Thousand dollar suite, layin low at the Peppermint Casino
I been a player before I had riches
And now I'm eatin steak and crab and fuckin bad bitches
[CHORUS]
[Jayo Felony]
I don't give a fuck about not one of y'all
Disrespect this here, nigga, it's real clear I'm gunnin y'all
When night falls, nah fuck, night flies a kite
I take flight like Delta, nigga, helter skelter
Who the fuck could you call to help ya
Nigga, good health couldn't help ya
Put the 's' in spit, bust your tightest shit, never felt ya
Could you picture yourself in the same room when I let these off
Two rivals, suicidal, take the strap and squeeze off
But before you do it, I take the heater and shoot both your knees off
Let him suffer, can't get enough of, I'm rougher
Go get my ammunitions and paper, nigga, cause it's a habit
Let off on ya in a 600, or let's call em rabbit
Is it tragic how the automatic made you breathe like a asthmatic
Static, what's that? That shit that get up in my fabric
I'm into bitches and beamers and my chips
And I'm keepin four eyes on em schemers when I dip, bitch
[Ron Isley singing]
Swizz Beatz, show 'em what they dealin with
Wooo! Oh yeahhhh! Ahh Yeahh
[Ron Isley singing - Chorus x2]
Hey ladies, can I get a witness?
Lah da da da da-da
Tell 'em what they dealin with
Throw your hands in the air (big business)
Throw your hands in the air (yeah! yeah!)
Hey fellas, tell 'em what they dealin with
Big house (throw your hands in the air), big boats
Big cars (throw your hands in the air), superstars
[Verse 1 - Jadakiss]
Fuck a six and a seven I'ma put big dubs on the gray eight
Hold your wrist when you squeeze, the slugs'll stay straight
Can I get a witness, Swizz Beatz the monster
Jadakiss, Mr. Biggs, its big business
Nigga this is our show
Twenty two master bedrooms in the crib
The garage like the car show
Not only am I real, I think
But I still jab a nigga with the left and won't spill my drink
The Courvoisier got me clashes
Honey all over me like ashes
Throwin that green molases
Your dealin with D-Block, and Full Surface
And ain't no payment plans its full purse-full
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 2 - Jadakiss]
A'yo I'm dealin with this mami from Quebec
When she fly out I pull the boat out and blow scomie on the deck
Shootin at the stars, Tommy and the Tek
Soon as the dutch finish you can find me on the neck
No foreplay, bustin the pound raise me
Middle of the ocean, bustin her down crazy
You know me, I ain't on no star shit
I just came to hurt the market
Then squirt the Larkin
Put your hands up, matter fact put your mans up
Put your medina's and your lambs up, your grams up
Talkin bout buckin each other
Probly fuckin each other
D-Block dawg, we stuck with each other
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3 - Jadakiss]
A'yo Full Surface, Swizz Beatz is in front of him
Got alot of problems but money ain't one of 'em
D 12's and up, thats our M-O
Tell me what you know bout a jet ski limo
Waterproof knockin it, ain't no stoppin it
Automatic respect whenever D-Block's in it
Or we can take it to the avenue too
Bring the Porsche GT out, lavender blue
Shit change, Kiss came its all extortion
Everybody meet, except for smaller portions
For real though, behave yourself on some grown shit
It ain't enough room dawg, I'm on my own hit
[Chorus x2]
[Ron Isley singing]
Big Businesssss, Jadakiss
Ohhh why dont you rap to 'em one tiiime
Show em who they dealin wit
Big Businesssss
you're giving up. I thought we were the same.
same goals, same mind, I guess this wasn't worth your
time.
condescending this as if its not how you got where you
are today.
this isn't for the kids anymore.
re-use, recycle, the game has changed.
devour, exploit but we know who to blame.
this isn't for the kids anymore.
no heart, no soul, but we got a new name.

Pipe Dreams
CHORUS: [Playalitical]
Big Business that’s what im high on
This the type of dope that they cant put a price on
Big Business that’s what im into
You can stay smoked out but I got places to get to
Said you bitches waste time so ima do me
Said you bitches waste time so ima do me
And it make it happen
Watch it happen
Verse 1 [Playalitical]
I beat earth out of a full moon got a cheap room
Full of ballons 21.95 plus tax
but you gotta feed the racoons Old trailers ful of meth fumes
Old hippys bumpin death tunes
Beating down victims that thought they was champs
Slabbin thru the trapola over heating amps
Magots hate on playa like they got bad cramps
Better refill they midol before I “click clack”
You gon be eating dog shit I remember that place
Moma aint home daddy smoking bass
Betta days came I made bad dreams so nice
You bitches aint doin it cuz you bitches smoke ice
It aint my fault that the glass dick love you
You love it right back the main thing you make love to
You the type to pick 2 grams over 2 hoes
You got the wrong idea of 20’s when you heard it in my flows.
CHORUS: [Playalitical]
Big Business that’s what im high on
This the type of dope that they cant put a price on
Big Business that’s what im into
You can stay smoked out but I got places to get to
Said you bitches waste time so ima do me
Said you bitches waste time so ima do me
And it make it happen
Watch it happen
Verse 2 [Playalitical]
I guess my hooks draw you in cuz you wana eat worms
Wana thizz out until the reaper confirms
Holes in ya brain ya weave and your perm
You done x’d out so much your exit is earned
Right about the time theres nothing more to learn
I drop a load in ya mouth the king returns
A mile stone for the mile alone
Service wit a smile the outcome of a pile of zones
And he‘s “Playalitical” logic files as shown
I hate fonies that skip on loans
I turn bone heads into piles of bones, Xylophones
Vitals deader than dial tones
Your silos have been ambushed
I spit juiced make the amps push the audio banes
Expand raddeling the handcuffs in the back of the cruiser
Thinking why they glorify the hustler and then become a user.
CHORUS: [Playalitical]
Big Business that’s what im high on
This the type of dope that they cant put a price on
Big Business that’s what im into
You can stay smoked out but I got places to get to
Said you bitches waste time so ima do me
Said you bitches waste time so ima do me
And it make it happen
