Hard back, stern face, play your position and know your place

Only move when the money's calling, take my advice you'll be ballin'

You need a hard back, stern face, play your position and know your place

Only move when the money's calling, take my advice you'll be ballin'

First up, it's important that you keep your shit original

Try and keep that copycat shit to a minimal

People want something that they never heard before

If it's been done, leave it, they don't wanna hear no more

Secondly, here's another clever thing that you can do

Find yourself a good manager who's really got a clue

'Cause there's so many to choose from, they all look the part

But it's difficult to come across the ones that's really smart

And can stand firm and steady when the label's talking shit

Will respect it, keeps it gangsta, but does everything legit

And dependable, you can trust to handle your biz

And can really make you sure of what the situation is

Next up, find a record label that ain't full of pricks

One that lets you breathe artistically but makes you come with hits

Congratulations, now you've got your deal, you're set to go

Lemme fill you in on just a couple things you need to know

You need a hard back, stern face, play your position and know your place

Only move when the money's calling, take my advice you'll be ballin'

You need a hard back, stern face, play your position and know your place

Only move when the money's calling, take my advice you'll be ballin'

Next up change your number, change your phone and change your chip

'Cause there's gonna be a lot of people ringing talking shit

Whether bredrens wanting money 'cause now suddenly you're rich

Or some dumb hating fassies tryin to take you for a bitch

Yeah I know it's minor and you can handle it, it's nothing

But eventually you're really gonna wanna do something

And that's counter-productive, beefin' over bullshit

You can never stop them dumb bredrens tryin' to pull shit

Plus you're in the limelight, well-paid verbalist

Which leads me onto my next subject, journalists

These are the people that could put your name about

So be careful what you're saying when you're talking out your mouth

An' avoid bein' ignorant, tone down the thug-shit

Come to interviews buzzin', tone down the drug shit

Keep your eye on the ball, mind on the job

And before you know you'll have the whole world on your knob

You need a hard back, stern face, play your position and know your place

Only move when the money's calling, take my advice you'll be ballin'

You need a hard back, stern face, play your position and know your place

Only move when the money's calling, take my advice you'll be ballin'

Here's something that I shoulda stressed early on

Don't go spending all your money 'til it's gone

'Cause the tax man's gonna want his paper when it's due

And there's nobody above the tax man especially you

And another thing, buy your house before you buy your car

Don't tell no-one where you are, even better if you're far

Everybody knows you're gangsta and that Porsche looks great

But do you really want it sitting on that council estate?

Differently, watch where you choose to socialise

Keep an eye out for trouble, watch for devils in disguise

Please don't be fooled by no pretty females, play it safe

Never let 'em know your full details

I ain't saying be paro, I'm just sayin' be sure

You can never know if that bitch will be braggin' what she saw

And aside from making money, keep loving what you do

I ain't saying nothing more because the rest is up to you

I got a hard back, stern face, play your position and know your place

Only move when the money's calling, take my advice you'll be ballin'

You need a hard back, stern face, play your position and know your place

Only move when the money's calling, take my advice you'll be ballin'

Yeah if you don't know, just a lil' guideline there for all my raw man

From the roads tryna get into this music thing, yeah

Big shout to my bredren DJ Sentex

And Ty Cage, they got the new generals, yeah

Do it live or I try you, GK

It's all or nothing, international, worldwide

You don't care or you don't know, UK

30 Stank is the label, what

Run from this industry
