ERIC B & RAKIM - PAID IN FULL

Paid in Full (12" version)

This is a Journey into sound
This is a Journey into sound
A journey which along the way will bring to you
New Colours, new dimensions, new values
When all is ready I throw this switch

Pump up the volume
Pump up the volume
(pump that bass)

You make me feel so squalid
We interrupt this broadcast to bring to you
A special news bulletin from out
On the spot passport
Oh my God, the music just turns me on

Thinking of a master plan
Def with the record
Def with the record
Thinking of a master plan
Def with the record
Def with the record

Thinking of a master plan
Cuz ain't nuthin but sweat inside my hand
So I dig into my pocket, all my money's 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

(1,2,3,4)

I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain't nuthin funny
Stop smiling, be still, don't nuthin move but the money
But now I learned to earn cos I'm righteous
I feel great! so maybe I might just
Search for a 9 to 5

If I thrive, 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
To now test to see if I got pull
Hit the studio, cos I'm paid in full

(1,2,3 oh)
Maestro even long and cool

Pump up the volume
Pump up the volume
Now wait a minute, you'd better talk to my mother
Ok, alright
Yo what happened to peace
(1,2,3,4)
Def with the record
Def with the record
So fresh
Goodnight Kids
Was it good enough for you? (ecos)
