Yo Rakim, what's up? |
| [00:04.30] |
Yo, I'm doing the knowledge, E, man I'm trying to get paid in full |

Check this out |
| [00:21.58] |
Since we talking over this def beat right here that I put together |
| [00:24.63] |
I wanna hear some of them def rhymes, you know what I'm saying? |
| [00:26.87] |
And together we can get paid in full |
| [00:46.00] |
(Verse 1: Rakim) |
| [00:48.44] |
Thinking of a master plan |
| [00:50.78] |
Cause ain't nothing but sweat inside my hand |
| [00:53.13] |
So I dig into my pocket, all my money spent |
| [00:55.17] |
So I dig deeper, but still coming up with lint |
| [00:57.96] |
So I start my mission, leave my residence |
| [01:00.30] |
Thinking how could I get some dead presidents |
| [01:02.22] |
I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid |
| [01:04.78] |
So I think of all the devious things I did |
| [01:07.22] |
I used to roll up, this is a hold up |
| [01:09.41] |
Ain't nothing funny |
| [01:10.28] |
Stop smiling, be still, don't nothing move |
| [01:12.01] |
But the money |
| [01:12.67] |
But now I learned to earn cause I'm righteous |
| [01:14.67] |
I feel great so maybe I might |
| [01:16.95] |
Just search for a 9 to 5 |
| [01:19.10] |
If I strive then maybe I'll stay alive |
| [01:21.95] |
So I walk up the street, whistling this |
| [01:24.45] |
Feeling out of place cause, man, do I miss |
| [01:26.99] |
A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of |
| [01:29.34] |
Me and Eric B and a nice big plate of |
| [01:31.83] |
Fish, which is my favorite dish |
| [01:34.08] |
But without no money its still a wish |
| [01:36.26] |
Cause I don't like to dream |
| [01:37.90] |
About getting paid |
| [01:38.91] |
So I dig into the books of the |
| [01:40.28] |
Rhymes that I made |
| [01:41.20] |
So now's a test to see if I got pull |
| [01:43.79] |
Hit the studio, cause I'm paid in full |
| [01:48.24] |
(Outro: Eric B. and Rakim) |
| [01:49.00] |
Rakim, check this out, yo |
| [01:51.00] |
You go to your girl house and I'll go to mine |
| [01:53.08] |
Cause my girl is definitely mad |
| [01:54.57] |
Cause it took us too long to do this album |
| [01:55.93] |
Yo, I hear what you're saying |
| [01:58.60] |
So let's just pump the music up |
| [01:59.10] |
And count our money |
| [02:01.75] |
Yo, well check this out, yo Eli |
| [02:02.42] |
Turn down the bass down |
| [02:04.10] |
And let the beat just keep on rockin' |
| [02:05.49] |
And we outta here |
| [02:08.47] |
Yo, what happened to peace,peace? |
| [02:09.95] |
Peace,peace,peace |
