be still
don't nuthin' move but the money
but now i learned to earn 'cuz i'm righteous
i feel great
so maybe i might just
search for a nine to five

then maybe i'll stay alive

feelin' out of place 'cuz

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
'cuz i don't like to dream about gettin' paid
so i dig into the books of the rhymes that i made
so now to test to see if i got pull
hit the studio
'cuz i'm paid in full
