Paid In Full (Derek B's Urban Respray Version)

作曲 : Eric Barrier/William Griffin

作詞 : Eric Barrier/William Griffin

Yo Rakim, what's up?

Yo, I'm doing the knowledge, E, man I'm trying to get paid in full

Well, check this out, since Norby Walters is our agency, right? True

Cara Lewis is our agent, word up

Zakia and 4th and Broadway is our record company, indeed

Okay, so who we rolling with then?

We rolling with Rush of Rushtown Management

Check this out

Since we talking over this def beat right here that I put together

I wanna hear some of them def rhymes, you know what I'm saying?

And together we can get paid in full

(Verse 1: Rakim)

Thinking of a master plan

Cause ain't nothing but sweat inside my hand

So I dig into my pocket, all my money spent

So I dig deeper, but still coming up with lint

So I start my mission, leave my residence

Thinking 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 nothing funny

Stop smiling, be still, don't nothing move

But the money

But now I learned to earn cause 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, whistling this

Feeling out of place cause, 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 its still a wish

Cause I don't like to dream

About getting paid

So I dig into the books of the

Rhymes that I made

So now's a test to see if I got pull

Hit the studio, cause I'm paid in full

(Outro: Eric B. and Rakim)

Rakim, check this out, yo

You go to your girl house and I'll go to mine

Cause my girl is definitely mad

Cause it took us too long to do this album

Yo, I hear what you're saying

So let's just pump the music up

And count our money

Yo, well check this out, yo Eli

Turn down the bass down

And let the beat just keep on rockin'

And we outta here

Yo, what happened to peace,peace?

Peace,peace,peace
