My Business

(album: Rain In England - 2010)

We are kings, welcome to this Based ceremony
I come from the ocean
I see a lot of people mad about how they going
I told 'em "Fam stay up, you know how brothers hold it"
Swear to god I'm thinking things that I couldn't go in
Details, Sprewell, choke your coach type of controversy
And they ain't ready for that media
Thought they love you, Tiger Woods they ate him up
If he did something else, they'd probably beat him up
They'd try to, I'm blind to anything beside anything inside
Put my pride aside, this time I been in secret
No oblige to my name
Tarnish the flame
Can't see what you can't obtain
So why don't you be an A and start the alphabet?
I'm starting the game, this my business
Stay out of it

My personal business is my secret wishes
Once you're into that, you understand you're not forgiven
Keep your space, I'll tell you what I want to tell you
I'm not familiar
I lost contact with many people
Still forget me when they see me
Like it's my commitment to drive a friendship
I'd rather drive a car or tighten up my pen-ship
'Cause with the internet people slay your image
Recording conversations, can't trust your party
Cameras the size of the glasses
Upload to the computer
You stole your life with some pixels
And some viewership, this is my business
Stay out of it

Talking to a girl, she speaks about her past like I wanna think before me
That upsets me
She knows a few of my partners, that intercepts to me
A little close for comfort, I know she talking
Told me things that he said something
Can't believe her but then I do
A lot of guys pillow talk
Should've had a gossip blog with Perez Hilton
Disguise in baggy clothes and tight pants, I seen through this
I chose to keep my opinion and my face
My expressions tell I'm kind of Based
Matter of fact, I reside in space
My honor's in place
Keep my business to myself

Disgust at how the media portrays the average
What's an average when we're all one?
I know my mathematics
Couldn't ask me about my day
Your brain is clouded, thinking many thoughts about another
I'm starting to feel you portray a coward
Paint the image of a flower
What I see symbolizes my belief in one's worth
Don't nobody understand
You been deployed for the longest
Serving honors for the long hours
Trading clubs and the women for the spoken power
Release my thoughts like an open shower
The steam represents the urgency or emergency
My business is strict, delicate to my emotions
I understand now
Keep my business, stay out of it

Business as usual
Jay-Z, Mary J, classic song, very personal
I felt okay to say a few things
Mos Def, I understand most definitely
My speech
[?] committee on the 4th degree
Forcing me to be alone
Like Britney Spears, cut my hair and go nuts
About the way I live
Put it in the news that I ain't fit to raise my kids
Crazy as they interfere with the natural process
Don't understand the free country when we paying taxes
Wanna get me because I'm speaking active
Say too much, Mafia come
With a big distraction
Nothing less than court time
That times by the lawyer fees
That times by the humiliation, wonder if I keep my business to myself
Patiently waiting for the respect
Keep my business to myself
