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

I wanna hear some of them def rhymes

You know what I'm sayin'

And together

We can get paid in full

Thinkin' of a master plan 'cos ain't nothin' but sweat inside my hand

So I dig into my pocket

All my money 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 nothin' funny

Stop smilin'

Be still

Don't nothin' move but the money

But now I've learned to earn 'cos I'm righteous

I feel great so maybe I might just

Search for a nine to five

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

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

Hit the studio 'cos I'm paid in full

Rakim

Yo you go to your girl's house and I'll go to mine

Yo well check this out

Turn the bass down and just let the beat keep on rockin'

And we outta here

Yo what happened to peace

Peace

Peace
