Paid (Feat. Eddie Levert)

Tell em not Tell em not Oh my lord yeah Every day it gets harder Just the cost of livin' pullin' me down I try to stay above water But these bills got me 'bout to drown I can't keep livin' this life Robbed and beat up but steal every form I've just been fightin' this fight But I don't know what's the point of it all I'll keep a positive mind But it's hard to flow When your cash is low I'm workin' days and nights Still I can't get up out of this hole Because I gets paid on the first played on the last And struggle all through the middle Every month I gets paid on the first played on the last And struggle all through the middle M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me Ain't nothin' movin' 'cause I keep losin' M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me Ain't nothin' movin' 'cause I keep losin' They make us know that they own us Though I swear it's more than slavery They give each other a bonus While our children live in poverty What a shame what a shame I keep on teachin' my kids You work hard you'll go far in this life But the reality is I'm slavin' on to the bone to survive I'd like to take you away girl But I just can't see How that's gonna be Don't like to slave in this way girl Somebody rich to take off the best of set her free Because I gets paid on the first played on the last And struggle all through the middle Every month I gets paid on the first played on the last Workin' hard workin' quite hard Because I gets paid on the first played on the last And then I struggle through the middle Every month I gets paid on the first played on the last And struggle all through the middle M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me Not for me not for me M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me Ain't nothin' movin' I keep losin' I'll keep a positive mind But it's hard to flow When your cash is low Workin' days overtime Still I can't get up out of this hole Because I gets paid on the first played on the last And struggle all through the middle Every month I gets paid on the first played on the last On my back strugglin' Because I gets paid on the first played on the last I just struggle through the middle Every month I gets paid on the first played on the last On my back strugglin' strugglin' M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me Not a damn thing movin' no M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me Baby baby M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me Ain't nothin' movin' 'cause I keep losin' M O N E Y never seem to multiply for me Money money M O N E Y
