Testi

[Verse 1]
Hard back, stem face
Play your position and know your place
Only move when the money's callin'
Take my advice you'll be ballin'
[Verse 2]
You need a hard back, stern face
Play your position and know your place
Only move when the money's callin
Take my advice you'll be ballin'
[Verse 3]
First up, it's important that you keep your shit original
Try and keep that copycat shit to a minimal
People want somethin' that they never heard before
If it's been done, leave it
They don't wanna hear no more
Secondly, here's another clever thing that you can do
Find yourself a good manager that's really got a clue
'Cause there's so many to chose from they all look the part
But it's difficult to come across the ones that's really smart
And can stand firm and steady when the label's talkin' shit
Will respect it, keeps it gangsta but does everything legit
And dependable, you can trust to handle your biz
And can really make you sure of what the situation is
Next up, find a record label that ain't full of pricks
One that let's you breath artistically, but makes you come with hits
Congratulations, now you've got your deal, you're set to go
Lemme fill you in on just a couple things, that you need to know
[Verse 4]
You need a hard back, stern face
Play your position and know your place
Only move when the money's callin'
Take my advice you'll be ballin'
[Verse 5]
You need a hard back, stern face
Play your position and know your place
Only move when the money's callin'
Take my advice you'll be ballin'
[Verse 6]
Next up, change your number change your phone
And change your chip
'Cause there's gonna be a lot of people ringing
Talking shit
Whether Bredrens wanting money cause now suddenly you're rich
Or some dumb hatin' fassies tryna take you for a bitch
Yeah, I know it's a minor and you can handle it, it's nothin'
But eventually you're really gonna wanna do somethin'
And that's counter productive, beefin' over bullshit
You can never stop them dum bredrens tryin to bullshit
Plus you in the limelight, well paid verbalist
Which leads me on to the next subject, journalist
These are the people that could put your name about
So be careful what you're sayin' when you talkin' out your mouth
And avoid being ignorant, tone down the thug shit
Come to interviews buzzin', tone down the drug shit
Keep your eye on the ball, mind on the job
And before you know you'll have the whole world on your knob
[Verse 7]
You need a hard back, stern face
Play your position and know your place
Only move when the money's callin'
Take my advice you'll be ballin'
[Verse 8]
You need a hard back, stern face
Play your position and know your place
Only move when the money's callin'
Take my advice you'll be ballin'
[Verse 9]
Here's something I shoulda stressed early on
Don't go spendin all your money 'till it's gone
'Cause the taxman's gonna want his paper when it's done
And there's nobody above the taxman especially you
And another thing, buy your house before you buy your car
Don't tell no one where you are, even better if you're far
Everybody knows you're gangsta and that Porsche looks great
But do you really want it sittin' on that council estate
Differently, watch where you choose to socialize
Keep an eye our for trouble, watch for devils in disguise
And please don't be fooled by no pretty females
Play it safe, never let 'em know your full details
I ain't sayin' be para, I'm just sayin' be sure
You can never know if that bitch will be braggin' what she saw
And aside from making money keep lovin' what you do
I ain't sayin' nothing more, cause the rest is up to you
[Verse 10]
I got a hard back, stern face
Play your position and know your place
Only move when the money's callin'
Take my advice you'll be ballin'
[Verse 11]
You need a hard back, stern face
Play your position and know your place
Only move when the money's callin'
Take my advice you'll be ballin'
[Verse 12]
Yeah, you don't know, it's a little guideline there
For all my roomies and homies trying to get into this music thing here
