I signed on the line

For seven long years

They said i'd be a big star

They said i'd get a big car

All the coke i could tube

All the dope i could shoot

All the smoke i could smoke

But now i'm bein' off 'n broke



They said i oughta re-record

The tracks of my tears

They said: "hey! this is it!

It's gonna be a big hit"

With my name up in lights

And some custom-made tights

All the girls call my name

(massimo!)

But it was all just a game



Nigger biznis

Nigger biznis

Well, nigger biznis all the time

Well, nigger biznis has brought disaster

On top of this here heart of mine



(well, now's the time to play the blues!)



Well, one day that contract will expire

One day i will be free

From that nig-ger, nig-gig-gig-ger, nigger biznis

All this nigger biznis

All this repressing me nigger biznis

Nigger biznis

Oh, nigger biznis all the time, all along

Well, nigger biznis has brought destruction

Which is why you're here in this song
