|
| Thinkin of a master plan
|
| Cuz ain’t nuthin but sweat inside my hand
|
| So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
|
| So I dig deeper but still comin up with lint
|
| So I start my mission- leave my residence
|
| Thinkin how could I get some dead presidents
|
| I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
|
| So I think of all the devious things I did
|
| I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain’t nuthin funny
|
| Stop smiling, be still, don’t nuthin move but the money
|
| But now I learned to earn cos I’m righteous
|
| I feel great! |
| so maybe I might just
|
| Search for a 9 to 5, if I strive
|
| Then maybe I’ll stay alive
|
| So I walk up the street whistlin this
|
| Feelin out of place cos, man, do I miss
|
| A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of Me and Eric B, and a nice big plate of Fish, which is my favorite dish
|
| But without no money it’s still a wish
|
| Cos I don’t like to dream about gettin paid
|
| So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made
|
| To now test to see if I got pull
|
| Hit the studio, cos I’m paid in full |
