    You won't defeat thee business
    You're better off trying to get

    And call at respected hours
    This is larger than what large is
    The true definition
    Of what being in charge is

    This the type of business
    That you could put your nose in
    Pack a big enough bag
    That you could fit some clothes in
    Long hours, dozin'
    Gotta get them figures straight
    Young lamont dozier
    I'm working on some real estate
    Or chris blackwell
    Gotta get them stacks well
    United states postal service lame
    We stack mail

    Save some instruments
    Cause we'll give you the blues hater
    On your front porch in the morning
    Like the newspaper
    And the headline is that
    We runnin' shit
    And we the exact crew
    That you don't wanna hate
    And the headline is that
    We runnin' shit
