Strictly Business Lyrics - Ll Cool J

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 

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 

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 master plan 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 

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
