It Aint Personal Lyrics

    [Jay-Z]
    Man, they go and tell me like
    you never know who your true friends until you ah umm
    both got a little bit of money
    I mean cause y'all both broke
    then there's no strain on the relationship, y'all both broke
    And if you got money and he ain't got no paper
    He still needs you so you'll never know how he really feel about you
    When y'all both get some paper, you'll see

    [R. Kelly + (Jay-Z)]
    We used to get money together, phone honies together
    Pushin chromed out twinkies in custom coach leather
    You claim it's all love, but nigga it's whatever
    Cause this is business, it ain't personal
    Same dream, same team, same schemes (mm)
    We even sold to the same damn fiends (how real is dat?)
    Ain't no rules in this war for this green
    This is business, and it ain't personal

    [Jay-Z]
    Look, I'm a grown man dog
    And I ain't got time to be runnin behind y'all
    I know when I first started it was crazy to y'all
    "He's gon' start his own label, he'll never be able"
    Well, nigga you've been wrong before
    And you'll be wrong again if you bet against him
    We move through the hood like identical twins
    But it just so happen that a nigga made it rappin
    You showed your true colors, y'all niggaz stay yappin
    That don't stop him, a nigga weigh platinum
    Stop through the hood, to say what's happenin? (sup nigga)
    Fake hugz (uh-huh) fake whassup
    Fake love, fake fuck, fake thugs
    Gotta one myself for your fake shit, I raise up
    Hop in my wheels and I peel, streets are blazed up (uh-huh)
    About my bid'ness dog, y'all need to stay up - one

    [Chorus: R. Kelly]
    We used to get money together, phone honies together
    Pushin chromed out twinkies in custom coach leather
    You claim it's all love, but nigga it's whatever
    Cause this is business, it ain't personal
    Same dream, same team, same schemes
    We even sold to the same damn fiends
    Ain't no rules in this war for this green
    This is business, and it ain't personal

    [R. Kelly]
    I wish, I wish - that success, we could all
    get a piece of it (word) but that ain't real dog (no)
    Cause in these streets it's war, the industry much more
    But rich or poor, I'ma keep it real my nigga
    Invest in chips and watch my money hill get bigger
    And do things like, pull up to some clubs
    in the skirts with Jigga, and yellin out HEY!
    What the fuck, pop that Cris' my nigga
    And then he wants to know how many chips I done sold
    Well it ain't y'all business what's behind my doors
    But y'all niggaz don't appreciate shit
    Helped you out and you still actin like a little bitch
    Then you wonder why I put yo' ass in the tenth row
    when you asked me for some tickets to my TP-2 show
    Lawwwwwwd tell me, why we don't like to see us grow

    [Chorus + ad libs]

    [Jay-Z]
    A-Alike (uh-huh) be alike (that's right)
    We don't vibe no more because we don't C/see alike
    And your mom got it twisted, she think Hov' changed
    Nope; Hov's still here like Rogaine
    Ask your boy what he did to the Hov' game
    How he jeapordized the whole game
    Now when we see each other it's so strange
    I don't know whether to hug him or slug him (damn)
    I don't know whether to cap him or dap him
    I don't know what to think of him, I don't know what's happenin
    But what I do know, all the niggaz that you know
    locked up doin a few doe, but who knows?
    Maybe it wasn't you, maybe I'm buggin too (right)
    But I'm scared dog, I don't know what the fuck to do
    Do me a favor, place yourself in my shoes
    The game, no exceptions, gotta follow the rules

    [Chorus]
