 thinkin of a master plan
 cuz ain't nuthin but sweat inside my hand
 so i dig into my pocket, all my money is 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
 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 strive
 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
