<br>

[Rakim]<br>

Thinkin of a master plan<br>

Cuz ain't nuthin but sweat inside my hand<br>

So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent<br>

So I dig deeper but still comin up with lint<br>

So I start my mission- leave my residence<br>

Thinkin how could I get some dead presidents<br>

I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid<br>

So I think of all the devious things I did<br>

I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain't nuthin funny<br>

Stop smiling, be still, don't nuthin move but the money<br>

But now I learned to earn cos I'm righteous<br>

I feel great! so maybe I might just<br>

Search for a 9 to 5, if I strive<br>

Then maybe I'll stay alive<br>

So I walk up the street whistlin this<br>

Feelin out of place cos, man, do I miss<br>

A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of<br>

Me and Eric B, and a nice big plate of<br>

Fish, which is my favorite dish<br>

But without no money it's still a wish<br>

Cos I don't like to dream about gettin paid<br>

So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made<br>

To now test to see if I got pull<br>

Hit the studio, cos I'm paid in full<br>

<br>
