"Standing On Business" lyrics

Everybody saying I'm different, I've changed
I just look at my life from a different perspective now
You know, sometimes you gotta ask yourself
What the fuck do you want outta this life?
And are you doing everything
To get what you want?
I can't settle, I gotta grow
Doobie

I don't wanna be them
Got something to lose so I gotta win
I had to grow and we both know
You did what you did
I don't have no friends, but I got sense
I make more than ends meet
You talking that shit
But it's loose lips that make the ship sink
Shouldn't be no switching, if they played their positon
If we getting money together
Shouldn't make it no difference
I'm standing on business
Ain't no more free love
When it's time to go get it
I'm only counting on me

Ask me why I ain't got no patience
Showed them love everytime they played me
All by myself, I was locked in the basement
I can show you demons, that's a demonstration
All in my head, the thoughts infiltrating
What's fifteen minutes to a sensation?
Tell them to wrap it up, like Penn Station
Been bat shit, some call it crazy
Living life like I'm dead already
Screws loose, can't hold my head on steady
It's hard to sleep when your dreams won't let you
And it's hard to trust when you've been neglected
I've been eating, but I still want seconds
I won't let them get the wrong impression
I ain't love myself, and that's a true confession
That was hard times turn to life lessons
Grinding from sun up to sun down
They rather see me strung out
Buried alive til I dug out
You can give me the crown, I don't want flowers
When I was down, I'm a dickbag
Still could never be a kiss ass
I don't got time to chit chat
It's forever Big Mike and RIP that, shit sad

Once I got sober, everybody say they miss
When I was high
What type of fucking shit is that, ya feel me?
If you don't wanna see me be the best version of me
That I can be
I've decided you don't deserve
To be in my presence

I don't wanna be them
Got something to lose so I gotta win
I had to grow and we both know
You did what you did
I don't have no friends, but I got sense
I make more than ends meet
You talking that shit
But it's loose lips that make the ship sink
Shouldn't be no switching, if they played their positon
If we getting money together
Shouldn't make it no difference
I'm standing on business
Ain't no more free love
When it's time to go get it
I'm only counting on me

I don't got no more helping hands
Closets filled with those skeletons
How you suppose to win if you ain't got a plan?
Ten outta ten, you gonna fail again
We turning them L's to W's
They knowing it's us when they smell the bud
Batwings, that's what I'm rolling up
Fuck all that talking, it's us
They could never
Took the punches, it just made me better
Been through hell, it's nothing like the desert
Brave enough to tell the things I tell ya
For your entertainment, like my name was Cedric
Treat me lesser
Still I won't fold when I'm under pressure
You coulda called, but look who's texting
Finally got ahold of all my depression

I don't wanna be them
Got something to lose so I gotta win
I had to grow and we both know
You did what you did
I don't have no friends, but I got sense
I make more than ends meet
You talking that shit
But it's loose lips that make the ship sink
Shouldn't be no switching, if they played their positon
If we getting money together
Shouldn't make it no difference
I'm standing on business
Ain't no more free love
When it's time to go get it
I'm only counting on me

See, in order to be successful
Everybody got to play they role
Know they role and play they position
To the best of they ability
Everybody can't be the face
And if they don't know how to respect that shit
You gotta love them from a distance
I came to win
Gang
