Love is a Business Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Last night I had a strange dream
I was tripping through the town floating on cloud sixteen
Trying to paint a picture on your brain like the Sistine
The black Michaelangelo that's prone to spit clean
But this thing, this thing ain't a hallucination
It's why we speak through the medium of these tunes we're making
A lotta dudes be hating that's why I'm truly patient
Posted up on the spot thinking and just pacing
Back and forth now tell me what you're asking for
I just want a chance to bless them with my passion lord
I just want a chance to live without the voice
So I sacrifice a couple of dollars and give you noise
And I'm poised for the opportunity
My guy schoolin me
Tell me get it now while you're young and this is just foolery
So fuck all the buffoonery this love is a business
That's why I never take it for granted with god as my witness

[Verse 2]
And I'm still tipsy off the Manhattans
But I can't let it derail my focus as the plan happens
From the Yakima valley to the Grand Rapids
From the 9 to 5 gig straight to band practice
I had a conversation it [?]
He told me how he witnessed the revolution and so forth
Maybe it's my destiny to be your main cohort
And lead you to the promise land as if this thing was folklore
And maybe if I spoke more my words would mean less
I might travel east but I'll always be west of the heart
I'm a south-end cat
[Outro]
Bring it on down (ooh, ooh)
Bring it on down (ooh, ooh)
Oh, where are you? (ooh, ooh)
Bring it on down (ooh, ooh)
Oh, where are you? (ooh, ooh)
Bring it on down (ooh, ooh)
Oh, where are you? (ooh, ooh)
Bring it on down (ooh, ooh)
Oh, where are you? (ooh, ooh)
Oh, where are you? (ooh, ooh)
Oh I need you
