[Lil' Flip talkin']

ay this is for everybody

that wanna get in the rap game

this is for everybody 

that think you just get in the rap game

and blow up over night

this is for everybody that think

its easy to be on T.V in front of limo's

and buy rolex's ha its better known 

as bleed and suck look



[Verse One: Flip]

I started rappin when I was about thirteen

I was into basketball not this hip hop thing

I started doin talent shows I was bein curious

but I didn't know one day I would be serious

I use to always freestyle until the end of the beat

and I use to take my demo's to the end of my street 

to another local rapper I thought could help

but in this rap game people all about theyself,

so that made me work harder I picked up my pin

all though I kinda felt bad I picked up my chin

I made my own rap group Hustlaz Stackin Endz

and I can't wait for me and Hump to drive a platinum benz



[Chorus]

its the biz

(where anything can happen)

its the biz

(everybody and they mama be rappin)

its the biz

(everybody gotta shine rule one

read before you sign that dotted line)



[Verse Two: Flip]

so I started freestylin every chance I got

the word on the street was Lil' Flip is hot,

I'm the hardest B.G rhymin in my state 

thats when C-Note let me do "Diamonds-N-Yo-Face" 

song was gettin played like fifty times a day 

then we hit the road doin shows tryna get paid 

I started doin karioes tryna get out there 

it didn't take long for me to put another hit out there

now I'm in the studio tryna make dollar bills

some people owe me fa sho since they live down the street,

rollers actin like they broke (man show us some love) 

I'm tired  of hearin that shit all the time

me and Hump puttin it down nigga I ain't lyin

I got record labels mad cause I ain't sign

some niggas stealin my rhymes but I'm still gon' shine 

if you can't see this biz dirty then you must be blind



[Chorus]

its the biz

(I'm tryna survive)

its the biz

(man forget a ninety five)

its the biz

(boy the game is cursole sometimes

you just can't think like the rest)



[Verse Three: Hump]

its a dirty game but who's to blame

I'm a stay independent y'all choose the fame

ain't nothin changed still workin the clock

95 made outta wood and a sun roof on top

and when we sittin on ya block y'all beez in shock

cause Houston got Lil' Flip like caddie have crop

when you see Sucka Free give us our props

cause we run this rap game believe it or not 



[Lil' Flip talkin']

now you got two choices 

you can be a rapper or you can be a C-E-O 

either you can be with the devil

or you can be with god 

which one you wanna be with



[Verse Four: Flip]

and if you ain't gettin sued then you might be suin 

and if your fans ain't clappin they might be booin 

and if you ain't gettin paid then you might not get paid 

I'm sorry sometimes thats how the game gets played

and if you ain't on tour you might not have one

its 90% business the other half fun

some niggas get raped for everything they earn

its just like sex with no protection you get burned



[Chorus]

its the biz

(I'm Sucka Free)

its the biz

(everybody want luxury)

its the biz

(you know what I mean lets talk about

contracts and get the green)



[Flip]

I heard...you got jacked for your ride

its the biz 

I heard...a nigga usin your lines

its the biz

I heard...a nigga bought you a car

its the biz

he said that he gon' make you a star

and you ain't seen no money so far

thats the biz and now you know

knowin is half the battle thats the biz
