Business
Eminem (ft. Dr. Dre) Lyrics

They've been wondering if I'm gonna show
People have been wondering whether or not I will appear

Shit you already know-ow-ow-ow
You are already aware of what is going on

Where you been? where you at? where you headed?
Where have you been? Where are you currently? Where are you going?

This shit started to disappear oh no, no
Something important seems to be disappearing

I'm right here, yeah, take this shit right back to the basics
I am present and ready to start from the beginning

Sound like I'm right back in the basement
It feels like I am in the same place as when I started

Tryna to put my neighborhood on
I am attempting to represent my community

Six in the morning (six in the morning)
I am working from 6am

Until six in the morning
I am working till 6am

(Best believe I'm on it)
Believe me when I say, I'm putting in the work

Man been working so hard
I have been working tirelessly

When the check and the bitches come in
When I receive my income and romantic interests

I ain't even notice
I didn't even realize

I live in the future, I'm blind to the moment
I focus on the future and am not always conscious of the present

I, I, you ain't gotta stay
You don't have to stay here with me

Oh you ain't gotta stay around we own it
You don't have to stay because we are in control

I remember when I was young just a front runner
I recall when I was just starting out

I was fucking with them drums like every summer
I was practicing my drumming every summer

Homie couldn't make it out the hood, make a nigga wonder
A friend of mine couldn't leave the community, causing me to question why

But I couldn't let Compton take a nigga under
I couldn't allow the negative influences of my hometown to control me

No way, no how, can't stop that
There is nothing that can prevent my success

Bigger dreams for this hip-hop
I have higher aspirations for the genre of hip-hop

I'm happy, it was music and not Ziplocs
I am content that my success stems from music rather than selling drugs

And now we, bringing crowds like it's woodstock
We are now attracting large audiences similar to the Woodstock Festival

I might as well wipe down the crown I done put up in the attic
I should retrieve the crown that I stored in the attic and clean it

I don't play around, lotta niggas coming through the door
I'm serious about my work as many people attempt to enter the industry

Not too many stay around
However, not many succeed

Lot of artists made it yeah
Many artists were able to become successful

God damn man I made a sound
But I created my own unique sound

Oh you ain't never seen a legend do it?
You've never seen a legend achieve such success?

Hold up homie wait around
Wait a moment and see what happens

I've been on the verge since a nigga put it down
I've been close to success since I first started rapping

If we talking numbers, fuck Billboard charts
If we are discussing sales, I don't care about the Billboard charts

Putting for start with the bank accounts
I am focused on putting money into my bank account

I've been away
I have been absent for some time

But I think I'm doing better
But I feel like I am doing well now

Anything you do can't impress us
Nothing can impress us

I won't let up on it
I will not quit or stop trying

What are you gonna say
What will you say in response?

And I think because they hate us
I believe they feel resentment towards us

And the fact that they can't break us
But they are unable to stop us

I will never let up
I will never stop or surrender

I'm going, yeah I'm going
I am moving forward with my career

(Best believe I'm going)
Believe me when I say, I am making progress

(I'm going) back
I am returning or going back to something

It's time to get back to business
It is time to refocus and become more serious about my work

This shit realer than rap
This situation is more serious than just within the realm of rap music

Somewhere trapped where you can find me at
I feel trapped in a certain place

Got thirteen in my strap
I have a weapon with thirteen bullets

And I kick it, do it with me whatever town we at
I carry it with me wherever I go

I'm killing these niggas was never feeling these niggas
I am succeeding while others are not

Went from a million to ten figures I grow
I have progressed from earning one million dollars to ten figures

Getting back to the business in the back of a Bentley
I am returning to work while being driven in a luxury car

I'm thinking damn how far can I go
I am wondering how successful I can become

Well, if my nigga Dre can get a bill
If my friend Dre can make a billion dollars

It let me know that there's hope for a nigga still
It shows me that there is still a chance for success for someone like me

And many more showing love for my art form
There are many people who appreciate my music

When the ATL the trap shit was on board
When trap music became popular in the Atlanta area

Give a raw nigga money when they let me in
I was given money when I first entered the music industry without being polished or manufactured

If it wasn't for me they would have let me sit
If it wasn't for my success, they would not have accepted me

Explanation for all the demolition we did
An explanation of the destruction we caused

I'm grinding handling my business nigga
I am working hard and taking care of my responsibilities

How many miles in the air
How high up am I?

One million I'm stacking up this paper
I am accumulating one million dollars

Up up and away-er
I am ascending higher and higher

One way ticket to the ozone layer
A single ticket to a high level of success

Don't you wanna roll where there ain't no head room
Wouldn't you like to be successful with no limits?

Take it to another atmosphere
Take it to the next level of success

Smoke this, smoke this
Smoke this marijuana

Roll it up, roll it up, get a lighter
Roll a joint and light it

Smoke this
Smoke this marijuana

Roll it up, roll it up, get a lighter
Roll a joint and light it

Another atmosphere
Another level of success

I can change your atmosphere
I have the ability to influence your success

Get a girl for my Johnson
Get some women for sexual pleasure

Roll it up, smoke this
Roll and smoke this marijuana

Break it down, roll it up, get a lighter
Break up the marijuana, roll it, and light it

Smoke this, roll it up, get a lighter
Smoke this rolled joint while having a lighter ready

I can change your atmosphere
I have the ability to influence your success

Smoke this
Smoke this marijuana
