New Song

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I heard that payback's a mother fuckin' bitch,

But I won't stress and I won't switch,

And I would not take my life

Glory please, my God

The only thing on my mind

Takes up all of my time

And I said, oh

Runnin' from a gun

Or some brain that weighs a ton

And my God, it hurts to get so low

Searchin' throgh the car

Cold, still searchin' through the night

I think I would run, to you

But I refuse to fuss and fight

And God may find a reason

Well I'm sure you'll find the rhyme

Because it takes up nearly all my time

He who stands for freedom

God knows I got the number, but

Maybe I just use too much

I was sittin' in that bar

Now I'm sittin' in that stolen car

Cold, still rollin' down the boulevard

Saw you with a gleam

And the microphone scene

Think I would run, to you

But I know I won't live for me

'Cause 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 can use

Payback's a mother fuckin' blast,

But I won't stress and I won't blast,

And I would not take my life

Glory please, my God

Coming from Heaven above

Takes up all of my time

And I said

Why must I feel like that?

Runnin' from a gun

And some brain that weighs a ton

You know I did that line for Flava' Flave

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, yeah

"T," it stands for treason,

The "D" here stands for dove

And maybe I just use too

Maybe I'm just used too

Maybe I'm just used too much

Boom
