[00:03.27] Yo Rakim what's up
[00:04.55] Yo I'm doing the knowledge e I'm trying to get paid in full

[00:15.64] Indeed
[00:16.26] Okay so who we rollin' with

[00:19.55] Of rushtown management check this out since we talking over
[00:22.53] This def beat that I put together I wanna hear some of them
[00:25.79] Def rhymes know what I'm sayin' and together we can get
[00:28.26] Paid in full
[00:29.04]
[00:49.08] Thinkin' of a master plan
[00:50.47]
[00:51.10] Cuz ain't nuthin' but sweat inside my hand
[00:53.57] So I dig into my pocket all my money is spent
[00:56.11] So I dig deeper but still comin' up with lint
[00:58.41] So I start my mission leave my residence
[01:00.83] Thinkin' how could I get some dead presidents
[01:02.94] I need money I used to be a stick up kid
[01:05.72] So I think of all the devious things I did
[01:08.15] I used to roll up this is a hold up ain't nuthin' funny
[01:10.69] Stop smiling be still don't nuthin' move but the money
[01:12.98] But now I learned to earn cos I'm righteous
[01:15.34]
[01:15.87] I feel great so maybe I might just
[01:18.24] Search for a 9 to 5 if I strive
[01:20.99] Then maybe I'll stay alive
[01:22.19] So I walk up the street whistlin' this
[01:24.91]
[01:25.42] Feelin' out of place cos man do I miss
[01:27.72] A pen and a paper a stereo a tape of
[01:30.15] Me and eric b and a nice big plate of
[01:32.70] Fish which is my favorite dish
[01:34.90] But without no money it's still a wish
[01:37.32] Cos I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
[01:39.72] So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made
[01:42.57] To now test to see if I got pull
[01:44.41]
[01:45.07] Hit the studio cos I'm paid in full
[01:47.28]

[01:51.53] You go to your girl house and I'll go to mine
[01:53.66] Cause my girl is definitely mad
[01:54.84] Cause it took us too long to do this album
[01:56.59]
