Paid
Eric Benet

[** feat. Eddie Levert:]



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 still...

I 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, paid on the last

And struggle all through the middle

Every month I gets paid on the first, paid 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,.. set her free



Because I gets paid on the first, paid on the last

And struggle all through the middle

Every month I gets paid on the first, paid on the last

(Workin' hard, workin' quite hard)


Because I gets paid on the first, paid on the last

And then I struggle through the middle

Every month I gets paid on the first, paid 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

I'm workin' days overtime

Still I can't get up out of this hole


Because I gets paid on the first, paid on the last

And struggle all through the middle

Every month I gets paid on the first, paid on the last

On my back strugglin'


Because I gets paid on the first, paid on the last

I just struggle through the middle

Every month I gets paid on the first, paid 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
