Family Business
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yes a him name the boss of crime
Mr Don Vito eh I
Nobody ever yet cross him line
Something might reach you
Throw a dollar to the shoe shine boy
And say he's a goodfellow
Silk ties and designer shirts
All buttons to the collars
Limousines, lots of greens
For him and his harlot queen
Sub-machines the order of his day
Because he's caught up in a family business
Living the life of a gangster yeah
Caught up in a family business
No way out, no way out
Day to day it's a life of violence
Big man him a run things
Sworn of committed to a board of silence
Could you imagine
Boot legging, arms-peddling
Lots of plots and cons and schemes
Gambling the order of his day
Jah know he's caught up in a family business
Living the life of a mafia yeah
Caught up in a family business
No way out, no way out
Bad example setting in the ghetto
All the youths wanna be like Vito
Move fast none a dem no wah move slow
But my advise in N-O
To be a don not for long
Stay in low when the heat is on
The tradition soon you got to pass it on
Because he's caught up in a family business
Living the life of a gangster yeah
Caught up in a family business
No way out, no way out
Jah know he's caught up in a family business
Living the life of a mafia yeah
Caught up in a family business
No way out, no way out
