[rakim]
Thinkin of a master plan
Cuz aint 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, aint nuthin funny
Stop smiling, be still, dont nuthin move but the money
But now I learned to earn cos Im righteous
I feel great! so maybe I might just
Search for a 9 to 5, if I strive
Then maybe Ill 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 its still a wish
Cos I dont 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 Im paid in f
