Nick Lupi - The Business lyrics

[Intro: [?]] We proudly present to you Best Intentions: Part Two [Bridge] You ain't only listeners you witnesses Across the span of dialect and distances Respect we're visitors I don't need no suit and tie to tell you what the business is [Verse 1: Nick] I'm from a city where they ask you what you make Judge you from you wear and who you know and where you stay For real man, I love Sydney but it's such a f**en wa*k I could tell you I'm different but I'm guilty all the same When did I become so vain, every night it's all the same Instagramming all the time as if real life was so mundane (So estranged) Short term gains, got me frying most my brain One of my guys said 'what you hiding from, you high like every day' I'm tryna say that there's a couple things I know I'm tryna change But I do it my own pace, b**h I'm running my own race Can only win it once I stop caring bout what they think Plus can't you see I'm shining I'm just tryna do my thing Let that sink, said [Hook] I can't help myself, what is this, what is this They want everybody singing the same song But that ain't the business, this is the business Said I can't help myself, what is this, what is this They want everybody singing the same song But that ain't the business, this is the business [Sample: [?]] [?] [Verse 2: Just Enuf] I made a plane out of paper, threw that paper plane out a skyscraper Set the city ablaze then I made it rain Now take that same piece of paper, put a pen to it, make the world listen Stack your paper, find a need to be greater, simple and plain 'J, how you livin'?,' no complaints, no complaints Landed in a foreign land to give my world a coat of paint No complaints no compliance or comprendé if you fake Mate of mine made it through the war, he talked to kids about his mistakes He said the answers in the mirror once you figure what it spells Drop your shoulders not your guard, the army taught me that as well Over there I had more purpose though my work was living hell Cooler sh** will start to surface once you start to love yourself [Hook] Said I can't help myself, what is this, what is this They want everybody singing the same song But that ain't the business, this is the business Said I can't help myself, what is this, what is this They want everybody singing the same song But that ain't the business, this is the business [Bridge] You ain't only listeners you witnesses Across the span of dialect and distances Respect we're visitors I don't need no suit and tie to tell you what the business is Turn the dial higher if you gettin' this 'Cross the span of dialect and distances Respect we're visitors I don't need no suit and tie to tell you that That ain't the business, this is the business
