Business
Damir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm in the front line the rest are all-bankrupt.
Theyre all crooks looking for a buck.
They better look again with the luck they got.
A gun to your head, and your pockets flat.
You just got paid and you can't pay the rent.
Landlord's making a killing.
You can't be choosey if you got no doe.
You don't own a thing.
Not even your shoes.
They control the way you walk, the way you move.
No shit we're crazy cause they made us this way.
They steal our minds 'cause we give up everyday.
They change our minds cause we let them.
They sell it back and we buy them.
Even on special money talks it opens doors.
It says come on in it gives you a choice.
Money talks it opens doors.
It says your welcome with a kick at the door.
I'll take, take my business,
i'll take my business elsewhere.
I'll take, take my business,
i'll take my business i swear.
I'll take, take my business,
i'll take my business elsewhere.
Know where youre headed, and then you know where your head is.
Keep your tongue tied and your lips zipped.
For what we have, we have.
What we spent, we had.
What we left, we lost.
What we build, they burn.
What you think is gone.
How we live, we learn.
How we give, we get nothing in return 'cause its business.
And it comes back like this
money talks
it opens doors
it says come on in
it gives you a choice
money talks
it opens doors
it says come on in
with a kick at the door
The lyrics of Damir's song, "Business" depict the harsh realities of life and the struggles that the common people face due to the greed of those in power. The first few lines "No stopping me with a line up, I'm in the front line the rest are all-bankrupt" signify how the world is driven by competition, and only those in the front line can survive. The rest are mere bankrupts, which gives the idea of the ruthless nature of the world of business. The next few lines highlight the struggles of the people to make ends meet, where they earn money only to repay debts and bills, leaving them with nothing to save or live a decent life.
The lyrics then go on to talk about how people are conditioned to operate within the system, where money talks, and it has the power to open doors, giving one a choice. However, this choice comes at a cost, and the song reflects how it leads to a compromise of morals and values. The line "They sell it back and we buy them," shows how people unknowingly end up fueling the system that exploits them. The song ends with the message that one should know where they are headed and keep their wits about them in the face of the challenges thrown their way.
