B.I. Vs. Friendship - Gang Starr

Gangstarr's*"Who's Gonna Take the Weight "?plays in the background [Guru]*

It's
like a, friendship and, a business partnership And
we, have to always be concious of the difference Between
em because; y'know some, things can happen That'll
ruin one or the other so, We
alwa-we always stay concious of those things Those
obstacles that can y'know, trip us up Because
we ain't trying to go out like that Primo
