Slick Talkin Ring wearin Business man,
Sittin cross the desk with a pen in his hand,
said sign here boy I promise you fortune and fame.
Well he gave me a dollar and he took my song,
Im still hungry its been way too long,
while hes gettin fat for another sucker playin his game.
Its a cold hard business,
Its a cold hard business,
(Tacit line)
But itll come around.
Bridge into next verse
Low life Husband on a cheatin spree,
Left his wife cryin with a baby to feed,
But he didnt feel nothin, had to have his fun.
Well he gave himself a Shackin had a runnin good time,
It all fell into its the end of the line,
Died from a cold steel blast of a jealous gun.
Its a cold hard business,
Its a cold hard business,
Its a cold hard business,
But itll come around.
Well you think you can run,
You think you can hide,
Think can get away with a pack of lies,
Itll come from a bottle come from a gun,
Itll come fallin down its when you think youve won.
Business partner on the road to wealth,
Lyin to his buddy stealin from himself,
Never could figure why he didnt have a single friend.
Well you may get wealthy if you dont get caught,
But youll never buy back the all things youve lost,
Its your Karma baby,
Itll get you in the end.
Its a cold hard business,
Its a cold hard business,
Its a cold hard business,
But itll come around.
Well you think you can run,
You think you can hide,
Think can get away with a pack of lies,
Itll come from a bottle come from a gun,
Itll come fallin down its when you think youve won.
Its a cold hard business,
Its a cold hard business,
Its a cold hard business,
But itll come around.
