I HEARD THAT PAYBACK'S A MUTHER FUCKIN BITCH,
BUT I WON'T STRESS AND I WON'T SWITCH,
AND I WOULD NOT TAKE MY LIFE

GLORY PLEASE HAVE GOD
THE ONLY THING ON MY MIND
IT TAKES UP ALL O' MY TIME

AND I SAID , OH

(funky bass)

RUNNING FROM A GUN
OR SOME BRAIN THAT WEIGHS A TON
MY GOD IT HURTS TO GET SO LOW

SEARCHIN' THROUGH THE CAR
COLD STONE SEARCHIN' THROUGH THE NIGHT
I THINK I WOULD RUN... TO YOU
BUT I REFUSE TO FUSS AND FIGHT

AND GOD MAY FIND THE REASON
WELL I'M SURE YOU'LL FIND THE RHYME
BECAUSE IT TAKES UP NEARLY ALL MY TIME

...IT STANDS FOR FREEDOM
GOD KNOWS I'VE GOT THE NUMBER
MAYBE I JUST USE TOO MUCH

(funky bass)

I WAS SITTING IN A BAR
NOW I'M SITTING IN THAT STOLEN CAR
COLD STONE ROLLIN' DOWN THE BOULEVARD

THOUGHT YOU WAS CLEAN
ON THE MICROPHONE SCENE
THINK I WOULD RUN... TO YOU
BUT I KNOW I WON'T FIT FOR ME

CUZ I KNOW
GOD'S GOT THE REASON
AND THE RHYME
AND PLEASE TELL ME
WHY IT TAKES UP ALL MY TIME?

I'VE BEEN DRINKING JUST LIKE YOU
AND BABY YOU GOT SOMETHING I COULD USE

(funky bass)

PAYBACK'S A MOTHER FUCKING BITCH
I WON'T STRESS AND I WON'T SWITCH
AND I WOULD NOT TAKE MY LIFE

GLORY PLEASE HAVE GOD
COMING FROM HEAVEN ABOVE
TAKES UP ALL O MY TIME
AND I SAID...

(guitar solo)

(WHY MUST I FEEL LIKE THAT)

(funky bass)

RUNNING FROM A GUN
AND SOME BRAIN THAT WEIGHS A TON
YOU KNOW I BIT THAT LINE FROM FLAVOR FLAV

BUT ALL THE DJ'S DO IT
ALL THE DJ'S USE IT

I WOULD RUN
I WOULD SWITCH
BUT I WANNA BE THE SAME

AND I KNOW I'LL FIND A REASON
CAUSE I ALWAYS BUST A RHYME
BECAUSE IT TAKES UP NEARLY ALL MY TIME, YEA

'T' IT STANDS FOR TREASON
THE 'D' IT STANDS FOR DUB

AND
MAYBE I JUST USE TOO
MAYBE I'M JUST USED TO
MAYBE I'M JUST USED TOO MUCH
