Strictly Business from Take Control by Overstand

06. STRICTLY BUSINESS


You can tell me not to take it personal
But my business is personal to me
I have a hunch the feeling is mutual
I caught a glimpse into your schemes
Stacked deck dealing the upper hand
You have failed to understand

This ain't the first time, but it's the last
You'll get no forgiveness
Strictly business
But at the least - better expect a bit of sweet payback
Cruel and vicious - no eyewitness
Strictly business

When you play with fire
You’ll burn
When you cross the line
Point of no return
Gonna have to be the hard way
You’re gonna learn


You’re playing games with me, and that’s a big mistake
Know what a con looks like, know how to spot a fake
Here’s a check you can cash, your face I’m gonna break
These words are as good as gold; take that to the bank

This ain't the first time, but it's the last
You'll get no forgiveness
Strictly business
But at the least - better expect a bit of sweet payback
Cruel and vicious - no eyewitness
Strictly business

Patience has run out, and I got nothing left
So before this fist hits your face, let me get this off my chest
It’s obvious you’ve got zero respect
When you’ve never had your ass beat, well, trust me, it’s for the best


At some point here, everyone needs to be humbled
Humiliated, beaten down, and living through struggle
It’s the only way we can ever come to attest
You gotta get knocked down to get back up - it’s for the best
It’s for the best
It’s for the best
It’s for the best
