Prince Paul - Politics Of The Business Lyrics

(feat. Chuck D, Ice-T)

[Intro: Prince Paul]
Politics of the business

[Chorus: Ice-T]
The business, the business
Politics of the...
The business, the business
Politics of the... the business
Politics of The Business, the business
Politics of the... the business

[Ice-T:]
Anybody who gets in this business
And lives his offer but he's living in a miracle

[Prince Paul:]
Awww man, f*ck the music business, man
F*ck that, I wanna say when you just can't say: F*ck this business
You got to get in where you fit in
And understand what you get in

[Ice-T:]
I uhh... I mean, if somebody sits and talks to me about the music business
I will tell him not to get in it
I will tell him that it's very very very complicated
And hard to actually cease something that living today

[Chuck D:]
Politics of the... business
Rap miserable muscles is that when...
Cats all of a sudden look at BET
And say: Awww man, we can do that
Man, I can outbone Jay-Z

[Ice-T:]
Yeah, in every one of these videos
You're gonna see some sacks!
You're gonna see somebody tote some money
Or somebody acting like they shoot you
It ain't much in between

[Prince Paul:]
I have to tell the artist straight forward
You are not that great, as you think you are
You smoke too much f*cking weed
And when... when... when you hear yourself back
Everytime, you're coming out and hating yourself

[Ice-T:]
Politics of the business
The business, the business
You know, that's... that's the way to get f*cked in the business
Of course, it's... it's... it's a cut throat business

[Chuck D:]
It's what you know...
What you know'll save you in this business all the time

[Ice-T:]
And it's... I guess... it's just the bottom line making a hit record
And uhh... it's not simple as people think
You know... it's very complicated
Yeah, if it did, everybody would go make one right now
Politics...
