The BiznessDe La Soul

Intro: common (craig mack sample from "get down")
And and bass up the track a little bit
Cuz I Im here I wanna hear that boom bish boom, knowhatimsayin?
Yeah yeah you know the bizness
Common sense, soul with the de la
Get all them play-ahs
We the rhyme sayers
Huh, and thats the bizness, hah
Gonna do it like this
Gettin it that
Like the chicago streets
Verse one: dove
I speak divine of God theories, no need to be high
Always exhale the facts cause I dont inhale lye/lie
Play the greater mans game, to bounce off my losses
So I can earn the acres (uhh) the houses (yeah) the horses (huh)
Of course its much greater than your benx or your lex
The engine to my comprehension is just too complex
Much too complex, efx/effects be live like das
Making moves down south, to avoid the chaos
And never, flaunt the coin cuz dime-getters be gazin
They call me luther van, they say my style is so amazin
Im fazin those whore supposed to have the last laughter
Cuz even when Im gone Im reappearin in the after
I haveta, send respects to real money makers
Do not connect us with those champaign sippin money fakers
Taste the quarter pound with spice from chi-town
Now what that prove, youre so full you cant even move
Chorus:
Cause Im the d-to-the-o, the-v-to-the-e
And cant another brother cook these delicacies
Well Im the p-l-u, the g-to-the-one
Walk around the planet earth making money having fun
And Im the c-to-the-o, double-m-o-n
I sit and think with a drink about how Im gonna win
Im the c-to-the-o, double-m-o-n
I sit and think with a drink...
Verse two: common
Do you wanna be a mc? or do you wanna serve
Do you wanna be dope? or do you wanna deal it
Fabricated acryllic, I feel it, Im the style molester
I do a show get extra ps like the large professor
In fact I get more hoes than tessa, peep game like a
Refa-ree in soul control of my
Desti-ny, in the best of, three out of five
Whip anybody ass at nba live, rappers
Take a dive like greg lougainis with his bitch-ass
Rather be in bebes alley, than at the click with gators
Not a hater of the players, Im more like a coach, or an owner
I used to love h.e.r., but now I bone her (ahuh-hah!)
At one point in rhyme I thought I lost my erection
But then I got it back with the resurrection, blessings
Upon rhymes old man who called him traitor
Big com stradamus niggaz styles I predict
Chorus:
Im the c-to-the-o, double-m-o-n
I sit and think with a drink about how Im gonna win
And Im the d-to-the-o, the-v-to-the-e
And cant no other brother cook these delicacies
Well Im the p-l-u, the-g-to-the-one
Walk around the planet earth making money having fun
Walk around the planet earth making money having fun
Walk around the planet earth making money having fun
Verse three: pos
Im the most from the coast of the east, then flee
Droppin more knowledge than litter, on the new york peeve
Its me, wonder why, in the place to be
Certified, as superior, mc
While others explore to make it hardcore
I make it hard for, wack mcs to even step inside the door
Cause these kids is rhyming, sometiming
And when we get to racing on the mic, they line up to see
The lyrical killing, with stained egos on the ceiling
My rhymes escalates like black death rates
Over music plates, being played as the rule
Kids thinking stepping to the soul, youre labelled fools
Who claims to drop jewels but for now you do the catching
I dont worry on what crew you run, or what section of earth
You reside, youre not even a man
So I dont seem it mandatory taking your pride
But I will, cause my man said soul for the life
You cried "keepin it real", yet you should try keepin it right
Thats understanding microphone mathematics
Which leaves the currency in temporary world status
And when one shows he posed threat to this one
This one will make that one into none
Simple equation, zero, you shouldnt play hero
If you cant stand strong like the island Im from
Chorus:
Now Im the p-l-u, the-g-to-the-one
Walk around the planet earth making money having fun
Yeah, and Im the-c-to-the-o, double-m-o-n
I sit and think with a drink about how Im gonna win
And Im the d-to-the-o, the-v-to-the-e
And cant another brother cook these delicacies
See cant another brother cook these delicacies
See cant another brother cook these delicacies
Outro: common
Ahh thats how, thats how Im supposed to do my thing huh
Like triple it, alright
Thats how we do it, all the way from strong island to chicago
The type of freestyler flow
Yeah, its fluent, and we dont need to flow no more
Hah
