B.I. Vs. Friendship Gang Starr, M O P

[00:01.54] *GangStarr's "Who's Gonna Take the Weight?" plays in the background*
[00:07.20] It's like, a friendship, and a business partnership
[00:09.66] And, we have to always be concious of the difference
[00:13.11] Between em; because y'know, some things can happen
[00:16.37] That'll ruin one or the other, so
[00:17.93] We alwa-we always stay concious of those things
[00:20.58] Those obstacles that can, y'know trip us up
[00:23.11] Because we ain't trying to go out like that
[00:25.64] *Primo scratching fades in gradually*
[00:27.02] "Friends""business" (repeat 3X)
[00:29.21] AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRAHHAHHH!!!

[00:53.37] This is B.I., see I wanna taste the whole cake
[00:55.72] Some things in this industry, shit be so fake
[00:58.39] Make no mistake, if you're my man you'd understand
[01:01.33] About the plan, to stack hundreds of grands (That's right!)
[01:04.22] And how to stand, on much more acres of land
[01:06.37] And to expand from the days of goin hand to hand
[01:09.09] So like I was CEO I do my thing son
[01:11.60] And turn this underground rap thing to my kingdom
[01:14.31] Release a fistful, of rhymes for the fiscal year
[01:17.42] MC's are wishful fuckin with this here
[01:20.42] They stuck with the tear, for fear they foresake a brother's love
[01:23.50] It's clear -- I'd have to be the better man I'm thinkin
[01:25.89] The 7th Letter Man ain't got no time for petty speakin (uhh)
[01:28.56] So we go our seperate ways I see the fork in the road
[01:31.76] I know I blessed you with a portion of gold
[01:33.94] And some good fortune to hold, so KEEP THAT
[01:35.91] While I keep it movin, just like truckloads
[01:38.77] Of interstate cargo, taxin niggaz like U.S. embargoes
[01:42.21] You my man like I said so all the best
[01:45.42] You shoulda known we do shit differently than all of the rest
[01:47.24] Can't afford to let a link be, loose in the chain
[01:49.84] It's time for us to get mad more, juice in the game
[01:52.41] You're buggin son (that's right) that's word to Billy and Fame
[01:55.35] So I'ma stay the game, that we play to win (Yeah!)
[01:58.18] So I don't care what you say to her or say to him
[02:00.73] The object son, is to excel and lead
[02:03.16] And niggaz be bluffin fallin for nothin but greed
[02:06.05] Chorus: M.O.P. and Guru

[02:14.30] [M.O.P.]If you my man you could understand!

[02:27.64] I'm true to myself y'all, and I'm a down ass nigga!
[02:30.40] So don't fool yourself, clown ass nigga!
[02:33.17] I always been the type of cat that'll put it on ya
[02:35.95] Since back in the days when Laze snatched me off the corner
[02:38.62] And every since then, the whole game changed
[02:41.10] Everybody's against, Lil' ass Fame
[02:43.75] They wanna see me stretched out with my back smokin
[02:46.81] Left for dead in the street with my back opened
[02:49.67] So I don't keep friends I just roll with
[02:51.71] Niggaz I was RAISED WITH, went out in a BLAZE WITH
[02:54.96] In the penile, to B.ville, down to Grayson
[02:57.68] And we thick together, in these last days kid
[03:00.29] So I don't have what you call friends
[03:03.17] Cause when it's on then they gone in the end!
[03:05.40] But I'ma handle my business indeed
[03:08.03] Cause niggaz be bluffin fallin for nothin but greed!
[03:10.71] Hey yo what happened to the love soldier? It never crossed my mind
[03:34.81] That you would doubt my love inside and test my pride
[03:38.18] I divide, anything that I got
[03:40.60] With my M.O.P. staff -- WE ALL AND WE OUT!
[03:43.25] To the First Family loyalty, is no game
[03:45.75] We them type of niggaz that, money won't change
[03:48.35] We all aim, for the big picture
[03:51.15] But to me it don't mean shit if your dogs ain't witcha
[03:54.18] I sacrifice my main arteries -- WHY NIGGA?!
[03:56.82] Ain't nobody never loved me, like my niggaz
[03:59.22] See my business is my friendship and my friendship is my business
[04:02.33] Can I get a witness?! (Preach on nigga!)
[04:04.98] Hey yo we went through all out wars, half-assed tours
[04:07.73] Travelled 'cross this land with heavy contraband
[04:10.10] (See you my man!) And you ain't never got to
[04:13.42] Second guess or question the love of William Danze (Sho' nuff!)
[04:16.13] I am invaluable, to my niggaz
[04:18.48] Cause they all rest there in thirty-two -- BETTER THAN NOTHIN!
[04:21.17] Think of William when they start bustin, I hold you down
[04:23.75] (When them body parts pop up cousin) I'll be around!
[04:26.59] "Friends""business" (repeat 6X to fade)
