Tell It Like It Is - Ludacris[00:00:00]

Daddy is that your car on TV[00:00:01]

You better believe it is baby[00:00:03]

Now go in the other room[00:00:05]

It's 'bout to be some grown folks talkin' here[00:00:06]

Okay[00:00:08]

All right[00:00:09]

Things ain't always what they seem or cracked up to be[00:00:11]

Like all these fakin' ass rappers in this industry[00:00:13]

Talkin' bout what they got[00:00:17]

And they ain't got a damn thang[00:00:18]

How you own three cars[00:00:20]

But you don't own ya own name[00:00:21]

Get ya business right boys[00:00:23]

The first class is in session[00:00:24]

Get a entertainment lawyer in the music profession[00:00:26]

Start up ya own company[00:00:29]

Trademark the name[00:00:31]

That's gon' run ya bout a grand[00:00:32]

So start savin' ya change[00:00:34]

Open a bank account quick[00:00:35]

And then follow these steps[00:00:37]

Sign yourself to yourself and[00:00:38]

Start signin' ya own checks[00:00:40]

Hit the booth and start recording at the speed of need[00:00:42]

Whatever gets ya juices[00:00:45]

Flowin' could be speed or weed[00:00:46]

Get it mixed and mastered[00:00:48]

Pressed up and plastered[00:00:49]

Sell it to ya whole hood out the trunk[00:00:51]

Ya bastard[00:00:53]

Show all the non-believers[00:00:54]

What you destined to be[00:00:56]

And in just a couple years[00:00:57]

You could be rich like me[00:00:59]

But I can't hold my tounge[00:01:00]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:01:02]

This biz ain't all fun[00:01:03]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:01:05]

Give it to ya straight[00:01:06]

No chase[00:01:08]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:01:08]

Look you straight in yo face[00:01:10]

And I'ma tell it like it is[00:01:11]

I can't hold my tounge[00:01:13]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:01:14]

This biz ain't all fun[00:01:16]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:01:17]

Give it to ya straight[00:01:19]

No chase[00:01:20]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:01:21]

Look you straight in yo face[00:01:22]

And I'ma tell it like it is[00:01:24]

See mostly all your favorite artists[00:01:25]

Got some serious problems[00:01:27]

The money could be the problem[00:01:29]

But money can't solve 'em[00:01:30]

Some get addicted to drugs and flat out lazy[00:01:32]

Some taste a little fame and go flat out crazy[00:01:35]

I'm close 'cause those close wanna live off my fame[00:01:38]

And that type of shit alone will drive a nigga insane[00:01:41]

Not to mention all the vultures[00:01:44]

The scandelous promoters[00:01:46]

Crabs will try to sue ya[00:01:47]

Magazines will misquote ya[00:01:49]

Most of these label-heads[00:01:51]

They don't care nothin' about ya[00:01:52]

If you stop sellin' records[00:01:54]

They'll act like they don't know ya[00:01:55]

It's hard mixin' business with pleasure[00:01:57]

So don't play[00:01:59]

Me and my crew argue and fight like every other day[00:01:59]

Rappers ain't above the law[00:02:03]

But our life is so fast[00:02:04]

That we got a Special Task Force of police on our ass[00:02:06]

All that[00:02:09]

And this is really just the start of it[00:02:10]

Hip Hop[00:02:12]

You really wanna be a part of it[00:02:13]

I can't hold my tounge[00:02:15]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:02:17]

This biz ain't all fun[00:02:18]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:02:20]

Give it to ya straight[00:02:21]

No chase[00:02:22]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:02:23]

Look you straight in yo face[00:02:24]

And I'ma tell it like it is[00:02:26]

I can't hold my tounge[00:02:28]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:02:29]

Man this biz ain't all fun[00:02:31]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:02:32]

I'ma give it to ya straight[00:02:34]

No chase[00:02:35]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:02:36]

Look you straight in yo face[00:02:37]

And I'ma tell it like it is[00:02:39]

What's worse than havin'[00:02:40]

No money is havin' it and losin' it[00:02:41]

What's worse than havin'[00:02:43]

Some money is grabbin' and abusin' it[00:02:44]

We never took no money from Chingy[00:02:47]

Thought I was cool wit him[00:02:48]

I wish his ass well[00:02:50]

But I don't want nothin' to do with him[00:02:51]

Some don't own they publishin'[00:02:53]

Me I never fool wit 'em[00:02:54]

I'm down for my artists[00:02:56]

Try my best to stay true to 'em[00:02:57]

'Cause outside my label competition is irrelevant[00:02:59]

Unless I'm still in competition with my president[00:03:02]

And believe that I'm supportin' the Hova[00:03:06]

'Cause the industry's shady[00:03:08]

It needs to be taken over'[00:03:10]

But the first rule to accumalation of wealth[00:03:11]

Is Don't trust nobody but ya God damned self[00:03:14]

I can't hold my tounge[00:03:18]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:03:19]

Man this biz ain't all fun[00:03:20]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:03:22]

I'm give it to ya straight[00:03:24]

No chase[00:03:25]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:03:25]

Look you straight in yo face[00:03:27]

And I'ma tell it like it is[00:03:28]

I said I can't hold my tounge[00:03:30]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:03:31]

This biz ain't all fun[00:03:33]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:03:35]

Give it to ya straight[00:03:36]

No chase[00:03:37]

I'ma tell it like it is[00:03:38]

Look you straight in yo face[00:03:39]

And I'ma tell it like it is[00:03:41]

Daddy[00:03:43]

Are you finished this grown folk talk[00:03:44]

Yeah baby[00:03:46]

You can come back in here[00:03:46]

Come give Daddy a kiss[00:03:48]

You know I love you right[00:03:49]

And I love you always[00:03:51]
