The Business

[Intro: Nick Lupi]
And we proudly present to you
Best Intentions:
Part Two

[Chorus 1: Jimmy Nice]
You ain’t only listeners, you witnesses
'Cross the span of dialect and distances, respect we’re visitors
I don’t need no suit and tie to tell you what the business is

[Verse 1: Nick Lupi]
I’m from a city where they ask you what you make
Judge you from you wear and who you know and where you stay
For real, man, I love Sydney but it’s such a fucken wank
I could tell you I’m different but I’m guilty all the same
When did I become so vain? Every night it’s all the same
Instagramming all the time as if real life was so mundane
(So estranged) Short term gains, got me frying most my brain
One of my guys said, "What you hiding from? You high like every day"
I’m tryna say that there’s a couple things I know I'm tryna change
But I do it my own pace, bitch I’m running my own race
Can only win it once I stop caring bout what they think
Plus can’t you see I’m shining I’m just tryna do my thing
Let that sink

[Chorus 2: Nick Lupi]
Said I can’t help myself
What is this, what is this
They want everybody singing the same song
But that ain’t the business, this is the business
Said I can’t help myself
What is this, what is this
They want everybody singing the same song
But that ain’t the business, this is the business

"[?] can't see the message, I can't hear it, but I know it's there."

[Verse 2: Jimmy Nice]
I made a plane out of paper, threw that paper plane
Out a skyscraper, set the city ablaze then I made it rain
Now take that same piece of paper, put a pen to it, make the world listen
Stack your paper, find a need to be greater, simple and plain
"J, how you livin'?", no complaints, no complaints
Landed in a foreign land to give my world a coat of paint
No complaints no compliance or comprendé if you fake
Mate of mine made it through the war, he talked to kids about his mistakes
He said the answers in the mirror once you figure what it spells
Drop your shoulders not your guard, the army taught me that as well
Over there I had more purpose though my work was living hell
Cooler shit'll start to surface once you start to love yourself

[Chorus 2: Nick Lupi]
Said I can’t help myself
What is this, what is this
They want everybody singing the same song
But that ain’t the business, this is the business
Said I can’t help myself
What is this, what is this
They want everybody singing the same song
But that ain’t the business, this is the business

[Chorus 1 (Extended): Jimmy Nice & Nick Lupi]
You ain’t only listeners, you witnesses
'Cross the span of dialect and distances, respect we’re visitors
I don’t need no suit and tie to tell you that
"That ain't the business, this is the business"
Turn the dial higher if you gettin' this
'Cross the span of dialect and distances, respect we’re visitors
I don’t need no suit and tie to tell you that
"That ain't the business, this is the business"
