 Yo, I'm doing the knowledge, E., man I'm tryin'a get paid in full
 Well, check this out, since Norby Walters is our agency, right?

 Okay, so who we rollin' wit' then?
 We rollin' wit' Rush
 Of Rushtown Management
 Check this out, 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
 'Cause 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 wit' 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 learned to earn, 'cause I'm righteous
 I feel great, so maybe I might just
 Search for a 9 to 5, if I strive
 Then maybe I stay alive
 So I walk up the street, whistlin' this
 Feelin' out of place, 'cause man, do I miss
 A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape'a
 Me and Eric B., and a nice big plate'a
 Fish, which is my favorite dish
 But wit'out no money it's still a wish
 'Cause 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, 'cause I'm paid in full
 Rakim, check this out, yo, you go to your girl house and I go to mine
 'Cause my girl is definately mad, 'cause it took us too long to do this album
 Yo, I hear what you're saying, so let's just pump the music up and count our money
 Yo well check this out, yo, Eli, turn the bass down and just let the beat keep on rockin'
 And we out outta here
 Yo, what happened to peace?
 Peace
