[00:21.08] Check this out, since we talking over
[00:23.59] This def beat right here that I put together
[00:25.02] I wanna hear some of them def rhymes, you know what I'm sayin'?
[00:27.11] And together, we can get paid in full
[00:48.52] Thinkin' of a master plan
[00:50.80] 'Cuz ain't nuthin' but sweat inside my hand
[00:53.16] So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
[00:55.53] So I dig deeper but still comin' up with lint
[00:57.93] So I start my mission, leave my residence
[01:00.46] Thinkin' how could I get some dead presidents
[01:02.80] I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
[01:05.22] So I think of all the devious things I did
[01:07.74] I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain't nuthin' funny
[01:10.20] Stop smiling, be still, don't nuthin' move but the money
[01:12.65] But now I learned to earn 'cuz I'm righteous
[01:15.63] I feel great, so maybe I might just
[01:17.88] Search for a nine to five, if I strive
[01:20.11] Then maybe I'll stay alive
[01:22.44] So I walk up the street whistlin' this
[01:24.73] Feelin' out of place 'cuz, man, do I miss
[01:27.14] A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of
[01:29.62] Me and Eric B, and a nice big plate of
[01:32.34] Fish, which is my favorite dish
[01:34.58] But without no money it's still a wish
[01:36.70] 'Cuz I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
[01:39.88] So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made
[01:41.78] So now to test to see if I got pull
[01:44.26] Hit the studio, 'cuz I'm paid in full
[01:48.44] Rakim, check this out, yo
[01:51.59] You go to your girl house and I'll go to mine
[01:53.35] 'Cause my girl is definitely mad
[01:54.91] 'Cause it took us too long to do this album
[01:56.49] Yo, I hear what you're saying
[01:58.76] So let's just pump the music up
[02:00.13] And count our money
[02:01.53] Yo, well check this out, yo Eli

[02:04.58] And let the beat just keep on rockin'
[02:05.84] And we outta here
