Bizness Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Imavictim 

Cover art for Bizness lyrics by Tune-Yards

The song is about DRUG ADDICTION Taking a strong stance on heroin (the pray for me, bleed for me lines) "i'll bleed if you ask me" But I can't even write a proper synopsis because your lyrics are wrong at a few very key points.

like

"then can WE away the part that represents the thing that scarred you"

"yes I am no longer who you thought this one would be"

"I said what could be the business that business could work through"

"lift up lift up lift up and pray for me"

"im a victim yeah from a distance yeah im addicted yeah thats the bizness yeah" Listen to the end of the song very closely the main parts are sung with the "dont take my life away" seguing inbetween parts This is the last part of the song. You have to listen really carefully to hear the were in the second line. (if you have studio monitors use em its clear.)

"whats the bizness yeah"

"were the bizness yeah from a distance yeah im a victim yeah thats the bizness yeah"

The song is about Drug addiction and how they do not want to fix or help it. Taking a strong stance on heroin (the pray for me, bleed for me lines) "i'll bleed if you ask me" seems to be her stating that whoever this is would do anything for heroin. Also too see track marks more clearly you pull the skin away from the body or "lift" it off the body, because they are more apparent when the skin is stretched. so we can say "lift up lift up lift up and pray for me" is like a plea for help, which the whole song is. She is simply analyzing why there is a drug problem in our society when it could easily be reduced with proper education. She comes to the conclusion AHHH THATS THE BUSINESS, and writes a song about it from the perspective of the addicted who desperately need the help they are not getting from the govt. Who is all to happy to lock them up in jails for their problems. THATS THE BUSINESS SEE.

Look at the first part again even and reevaluate it with heroin in the mix (even using your extremely wrong lyrics) "If I represent the one that did this to you" (aka heroin) "Then can away the part that represents the thing that scarred you" (aka heroin) (pock marks heroin users get up and down there arms from needles are SCARS.) "I say, Get up, stand up, get up, stand up, get on it" (hurry up and take care of your addiction no one else will do it for you) Yessir, I am no longer who you thought this one would be"...
