[00:30.63]
[00:48.88] Thinkin' of a master plan
[00:50.87] 'Cause ain't nothin' but sweat inside my hand
[00:53.34] So I dig into my pocket, all my money spent
[00:55.86] So I dig deeper, but still coming up with lint
[00:58.05] So I start my mission, leave my residence
[01:00.54] Thinkin', "How could I get some dead presidents?"
[01:02.90] I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
[01:05.36] So I think of all the devious things I did
[01:07.81] I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain't nothing funny
[01:10.28] Stop smilin', be still, don't nothing move, but the money
[01:12.93] But now I learned to earn 'cause I'm righteous
[01:15.58] I feel great, so maybe I might just
[01:17.71] Search for a nine-to-five, if I strive
[01:20.75] Then maybe I'll stay alive
[01:22.42] So I walk up the street, whistlin' this
[01:25.01] Feeling out of place, 'cause man do I miss
[01:27.36] A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of
[01:30.06] Me and Eric B and a nice big plate of
[01:32.55] Fish, which is my favorite dish
[01:34.61] But without no money, it's still a wish
[01:36.97] 'Cause I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
[01:39.42] So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made
[01:42.09] So now's a test to see if I got pull
[01:44.63] Hit the studio, 'cause I'm paid in full
