Gettin' paid. Gettin' paid. It's all about payday man. These days a brother like V is well paid, but back then is when?I wish I could say Money, Money, Money, Money OnBut it was Money, Money, Money GoneA Goldfinger with the Midas TouchBut my Fort Knox went bust and I was on the Double DutchGroovin' down the street ? My pockets musta sprung a leakAnd any offer made I couldn't turn the other cheekMy outlook was blea - a day later and a dollar shortOh Lord! Sportin' kicks I couldn't affordChaching! That's a sound that I hadn't heard back thenI wished my ends were meetin' like a motherBut the dividends weren't my friends, it seems they wanted sweet revengeFor how I used up all they partners, so I'll get it in the endYo, Friend or Foe? I don't knowWas I the only latin that ain't won that lotto %#@! yet though?No cash. My present future aint like my pastBut the fact is those greenbacks were kickin' my $$#.Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf'n joke. Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf'n joke. Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf'n joke. Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf'n joke. Material possessions are f'n up perceptionsBetter lessons learned than pockets overturnedI was workin' towards a lucrative career but the buck steered clearAnd I was livin' out my greatest of fearsUnemployment lines started lookin' fine And see a penny pick it up was only savin' for a dimeSearchin' for a way to get paid like EverlastBut everlasting loot seemed farthest from my graspWorkin' on my studies - I had to put in workWorkin' for a couple crumbs and feelin' like a jerkI ran out of savings and looked at my popsFor a loan thinkin' to myself I'd never pay him offWassup to Doe ? no cash, but flowHe was in it with me like neighbors on Death RowRappin' real fast about the tax that won't relaxSo F those greenbacks they can all kiss my $$#.Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf'n joke. Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf'n joke. Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf'n joke. Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf'n joke.
