Ll Cool J - Strictly Business lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1:]

Back in the days I made up my mind

That I would be a king, you know, genuine

Reign supreme at the top of the heap

And like working all day, no time to sleep

Destined to rise, in front of your eyes

So we surmise, it's time for the prize

The time has come, we gotta be number one

The world is full of power and we got to get some

No more beggin and useless teardrops

So I'm trading these teardrops for props

Goin' all the way and with my powerful team

Conquering the world and I'ma rise like cream

All out, putting heads to bed

Cause I'm a grown man and I hate to get spoon-fed

Wisdom, son, I rose in the east

Till we reach the top, won't be no peace, cause it's

[Chorus:]

Strictly business, strictly business

Ain't no way I'm gonna stop

Strictly business, ain't no time to get more

Gotta make it to the top

[Verse 2:]

Everything we do, gotta be brand new

The moves we make, gotta make the earth shake

Sitting at my desk, cause I manifest to my team

Big plans that'll make us the best

Cause we can rule this game we all play

Pop champagne and make everyday a holiday

Smooth as a rose but hard like steel

From now on, I'ma make my dreams real

On a mission, gotta get there

If you wanna rule, you gotta be in there

Our masterplan is the best

And ain't a man alive that'll beat us to a conquest

Cause this is the reason we was born

To rock on and on and on and on

Look at my eyes, it's hypnotizing

Word is bond, we gotta keep on rising

[Chorus]

Strictly business, life is hard to handle

Ain't no way I'm gonna stop

Strictly business, ain't no time to get more

Gotta make it to the top

[Verse 3:]

I'ma be a legend in all the books and mags

Stuffin' the cash inside garbage bags

Ain't no time to waste, we gotta motivate

Pass anybody that stops to get gas

Forever and a day, my destiny's set

No sweat, I make it rougher than rougher gets

Hold on tight, if not, get blown away

Pick up the pieces 'cause we're known to say

Radical things to get a champion's ring

Give it up, punk, don't make me swing

We planned ahead to get the butter and the bread

Dressed in black and I'm stayin' out the red

So when it comes to like taking charge

Get props for where they do and stop frontin' on tar

Gotta go for what you know to be the cream of the crop

With the power of God, I'ma rise to the top, it's

[Chorus]

Strictly business, life is hard to handle

Ain't no way I'm gonna stop

Strictly business, ain't no time to get more

Gotta make it to the top

[Outro:]
