Paid in Full (Mini Madness) [The Coldcut Remix]

[Intro]

This is a journey into sound

This is a journey into sound

A journey, which along the way, will bring to you new color

New dimension, new value

When all is ready, I throw this switch

Pump up the volume— Pump up the volume—

Pump that bass

Im nin'alu

Daltei n'divim (You make me feel so good)

We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a special news bulletin from our on the spot task force

Oh my gosh

The music just turns me on

Thinking of a master plan

Def with the record— Def with the record—

Thinking of a master plan

Def with the record— Def with the record—

[Verse 1: Rakim]

Thinking of a master plan

'Causе ain't nothing but sweat inside my hand

So I dig into my pocket, all my monеy is spent

So I dig deeper, but still coming up with lint

So I start my mission, leave my residence

Thinking, "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

[Interlude]

One, two, three, four

[Verse 2: Rakim]

I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain't nothing funny

Stop smiling, be still, don't nothin' move but the money

But now I've learned to earn 'cause I'm righteous

I feel great, so maybe I might just

Search for a nine to five, if I strive

Then maybe I'll stay alive

So I walk up the street whistling this

Feeling out of place, 'cause 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, it's still a wish

'Cause I don't like to dream about getting paid

So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made

So now's the test to see if I got pull

Hit the studio, 'cause I'm paid in full

[Interlude]

One, two, three, uh

By George, even London grooves

Pump up the volume— Pump up the volume—

Now wait a minute, you better talk to my mother

Im nin'alu (Hahaha)

El Chai mareimawm (Okay, all right)

[Outro]

Yo, what happened to peace?

Peace

One, two, three, four

Def with the record— Def with the record—

It's so fresh

Goodnight, kids

Was it good enough for ya? Was it good enough for ya?
