Lyrics Paid in Cash - Empire Cast, Yazz

Paid in Cash

(Yeah
I need all that
Run me my money
Cash, dollars, dinero)
Who do you think?
Yeah, I got the hood on lock (lock)
People whisper my name down on every block
Talk less, I’ll take you out with a unmarked Glock
Make a hit list and put your homie name on top
Yeah, bosses don’t brag, gangsters don’t advertise
What’s your next move when death stares you in the eyes
It’s a stand-off game, yeah, it’s do or die
One day I’ma pay with my life
And like the King, yeah, I had a dream
I had to turn the hustle into something more to me
Remember the days of no money and no clout
But money don’t sleep so I slept at the trap house
Got tired of running outta luck tryna make a buck
Just to end up in county till my time’s up
Counting dollars, yeah, now I’m big balling on pay
But I’m still the same hitter from the old day
Yeah, I’m rich, but I’m still a gangster
Run me my money, hand over the paper
Yeah, I’m rich, but I’m still a gangster
Run me my money, hand over the paper
Make sure you pay me in cash, yeah, ooh, yeah
Make sure you pay me in cash, yeah, ooh, yeah
Big black trucks doing stick-up, stick-ups
But I’ll take a life before you light me up, me up
Just another drive-by, making rounds fly
Happened every day just like the sunrise
Yeah, made it out the hood, I survived
Momma prayed to God, thanks for keeping me alive
Gotta show my son a man that he can respect, yeah
You can run me my check, yeah
Yeah, I’m rich, but I’m still a gangster
Run me my money, hand over the paper
Yeah, I’m rich, but I’m still a gangster
Run me my money, hand over the paper
Make sure you pay me in cash, yeah, ooh, yeah
Make sure you pay me in cash, yeah, ooh, yeah
Make sure you pay me in cash, yeah, ooh, yeah
Make sure you pay me in cash, yeah, ooh, yeah
