    The true definition

    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

    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
