Bad Buisness Man

Spreading lies
He's the bad businessman
Does his business while he can
He just does his business bad.
He's a clown
Gonna get bounced around
If he don't keep his business underground
He's a player
And everytime he deals a round
It's just a bad hand
What a bad man.
Beware of what he sells
Surely go straight to hell.
T'aint no bottom in that wishing well.
