Story Behind The Song

Standing On Business

Lyrics

(Intro - Spoken, Confident)

Yeah... we don't talk 'bout it -- we be about it.
No cap, no chatter, just action.
You either stand tall or you fall flat -- period.

(Verse 1)

I don't do maybe, I don't do doubt,
I move in silence, then air it out.
They throw shade, I reroute,
I'm the one they whisper 'bout.

I got that Bronx in my soul,
That Harlem hustle, that Queens control.
Every step's ten toes, I patrol,
I turn pressure into gold.

Talk slick? I might laugh first,
'Cause I know the game, I did my work.
They flex online, I flex in person,
My wins hit different -- that's real version.

(Pre-Chorus)

I don't chase trends, I set the tone,
Stand on mine -- can't be cloned.
If you talkin' work, then lower your tone,
'Cause I built mine brick by stone.

(Chorus)

I'm standin' on business, yeah, what's the word?
Every move I make, yeah, that's confirmed.
Ain't no gimmicks, my lane's earned,
Whole team solid, we don't squirm.
Standin' on business, ten toes firm,
Talk that talk, but they still learn.
I don't flinch, I don't burn,
Standin' on business -- my turn.

(Verse 2)

Money stack tall like Empire dreams,
Still grounded though, I don't need beams.
They want fame, I want streams,
They want clout, I want regimes.

My talk heavy, my walk aligned,
Purpose built, I'm the headline.
I see fakes through the grapevine,
They fold quick, I redefine.

No small talk, I like deposits,
My goals loud, my peace -- the closet.
Been outside, no need to flaunt it,
They act boss, I been embodied.

(Bridge - Doechii-style switch up)

Switch flow, new tone -- watch me pivot!
They all bark, no bite, no spirit.
I said I'm up now, they mimic the vision,
But I play chess -- checkmate precision.

You talk grind, but your shoes too clean,
I'm built from the dirt, that's how I gleam.
I'm the gap between broke and dream,
And I mean every word I scream.

(Final Chorus)

Standin' on business, yeah, what's the word?
Every move I make, yeah, that's confirmed.
Ain't no gimmicks, my lane's earned,
Whole team solid, we don't squirm.
Standin' on business, ten toes firm,
Talk that talk, but they still learn.
This my era, this my turn --
Standin' on business, watch it burn.

(Outro - Spoken)

You see, it's levels to this.
It's not just talkin'--it's walkin'.
So next time they ask what you doin'?
Tell 'em -- you standin' on business.
