Gang Starr - Bi Vs Friendship lyrics

Your rating:

*GangStarr's "Who's Gonna Take the Weight?" plays in the background*
 [Guru]
 It's like  a friendship  and a business partnership
 And  we have to always be concious of the difference
 between em; because y'know  some things can happen
 that'll ruin one or the other  so
 we alwa we always stay concious of those things
 Those obstacles that can  y'know trip us up
 because we ain't trying to go out like that

 *Primo scratching fades in gradually*
 "friends" "business" (repeat 3X)

 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRAHHAHHH!!!
 C'mon! Motherfucker! Yeah! ...
 GangStarr! GangStarr! M.O.P.
 Ghetto people!

 [Guru]
 Son you're supposed to be my man, but you ain'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 you're my man you'd understand
 about the plan, to stack hundreds of grands (That'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
 MC's are wishful fuckin with this here
 They stuck with the tear, for fear they foresake a brother's love
 it's clear -- I'd have to be the better man I'm thinkin
 The 7th Letter Man ain'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
 Can't afford to let a link be, loose in the chain
 It's time for us to get mad more, juice in the game
 You're buggin son (that's right) that's word to Billy and Fame
 So I'ma stay the game, that we play to win (Yeah!)
 So I don'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 it's animosity
 [Guru] Let me know
 [M.O.P.] If you plottin to stop my dough
 [Lil' 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*

 [Lil' Fame]
 I'm true to myself y'all, and I'm a down ass nigga!
 So don't fool yourself, clown ass nigga!
 I always been the type of cat that'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
 Everybody's against, Lil' ass Fame
 They wanna see me stretched out with my back smokin
 Left for dead in the street with my back opened
 So I don'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 don't have what you call friends
 cause when it's on then they gone in the end!
 But I'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 won't change
 We all aim, for the big picture
 but to me it don't mean shit if your dogs ain't witcha
 I sacrifice my main arteries -- WHY NIGGA?!
 Ain'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 'cross this land with heavy contraband
 (See you my man!) And you ain't never got to
 second guess or question the love of William Danze (Sho' 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) I'll be around!

 "friends" "business" (repeat 6X to fade
