Текст (слова) песни: A Tribe Called Quest - Show Business



Verse 1

[q-tip]

Let me tell you bout the snakes, the fakes, the lies

The highs at all of these industry shing-dings

Where you see the pretty girls

In the high animated world

Checkin for a rapper with all the dough

If you take a shit they want to know

And if youre gonna fall, they wont be around, yall

So you still wanna do the show business?

And you think that you got what it takes?

I mean you really gotta rap and be all that

And prepare yourself for the breaks

Check it out!

Do you wanna be in the business? (the business)

The ups and downs with the hoes (the business)

Always gettin fronted on at shows (the business)

People gotta stick their nose (in the business)

Verse 2

[q-tip]

Yo, I gotta speak on the cesspool

Its the rap industry and it aint that cool

Only if youre on stage or if youre speakin to your people

Aint no-one your equal

Especially on the industry side

Dont let the games just glide

Right through your fingers, you gotta know the deal

So lord jamar speak, because youre real...

[lord jamar]

Theyre givin you the business and puttin on a show

Youre a million dollar man that aint got no dough

But you got a ho tickets backstage to a show

Sedated and at that fact they elated

Time pass and your ass say "wheres my loot? "

The reply is a kick in the ass from a leg and a boot

All you wanna do is taste the fruit

But in the back theyre makin fruit juice

You ask for slack and wanna get cut loose from the label

Not able cos you signed at the table

For a pretty cash advance, now they got a song and dance

That you didnt recoup, more soup wit ya meal?

Cos this is the real when you get a record deal

And I say...

[phife]

Aw....shucks, look what the cat hauled in

Its phife dawg from a tribe called quest, let me begin

Like chuck d, I got so much trouble on my mind

bout these no-talent artists gettin signed, they cant rhyme

And if that aint bad, you got bootleggers

Goin out like suckers, motherfuckers

Feel its time that I let loose the lion

And if not that then Ill commence to head flyin

Seems in 91 everybody want a rhyme

And then you go and sell my tape for only $5.99?

Please nigga, Ive worked too hard for this

No more will I take the booty end of the stick

Bogus brothers makin albums when they know they cant hack it

Cos they lyrics is played like 8-ball jackets

Now tell me I cant tear it up

Go get yourself some toilet paper cos your lyrics is butt

Do you wanna be in the business? (the business)

People cant walk a straight line in (the business)

Some of these brothers cant rhyme in (the business)

A-yo, Im tryna get mine (the business)

Verse 3

[sadat x]

The party scene is cool, but then again its all the same

You see the same faces, but at different places

When youre up and ridin high everything is palsy-palsy

Get a million pounds and all the skins give you hugs

Well thats cool, I can dig it, it really aint my bag

Prefer to max on the side and let my pants sag

"oh, hes a cutie", yeah, real cute

But I wasnt that cute when I didnt have no loot

Although I hit a pound of herbs Im still nice with the verbs

So fuck what you heard

The born cipher, cipher master makes me think much faster

But critics still continue to plaster

My name and discredit my fame

All that shit is game

And I dont really give a damn

Eat from the tree of life and throw away the verbal ham

[diamond d]

Well, excuse me, I gotta add my two cents in

Dont be alarmed, the rhyme was condensed in

A matter of minutes so it must be told

All that glitters not gold

Everybody wants a deal, help me make a demo

See my name in bright lights, ride around in a limo

My moms keeps beefin ("boy, get a job")

But I wanna make jams, damn, I know Ill slam

Huh, well its not that easy

You gotta get a label thats willin and able

To market and promote, and you better hope

(for what? ) that the product is dope

Take it from diamond, its like mountain climbin

When it comes to rhymin you gotta put your time in

Get a good lawyer so problems wont pile

You dont wanna make a pitch thats wild.
