Paid in Full (Seven Minutes of Madness – The Coldcut Remix)

[Intro]

This is a journey into sound (music)

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)

(Please err, would you mind saying that again?)

(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)

(He’s a sweet soul brother)

[Scratches Lead: Coldcut]

Thinking of a master plan

Def with record, def with the record

Thinking of a master plan

Def with record, def with the record

[Verse 1: Rakim]

Thinking of a master plan

‘Cause ain't nothing but sweat inside my hand

So I dig into my pocket, all my money 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

[Scratches interlude: Coldcut]

I used to roll up… roll up… roll up

I used to roll up… roll up… roll up

[Verse 2: Rakim]

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

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

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

I feel great; so maybe I might just

Search for a 9 to 5, 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 to test to see if I got pull

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

(One…two…three…Uhh

One…two…three…Uhh)

(By George... Even London grooves)

(Pump up the volume

Pump up the volume)

(Pump that bass)

(Im nin'alu daltei n'divim

Daltei marom lo nin'alu

El Chai mareimawm)

(Back in the club, how you kids used to laugh at that song)

[Outro: Eric B. & Rakim]

Check this out

Yo, you go to your girl house and I’ll go to mine

‘Cause my girl is definitely mad cause it took us to long to do this album

Yo, I hear what you saying so let’s just pump the music up…

And count our money

Yo well check this out, Yo Eli

Turn the bass down and just let the beat keep on rocking

And we outta here

(Pump up the volume

Pump up the volume)

(Wait a minute; you better talk to my mother)

(Im nin'alu daltei n'divim) (Ok… alright)

(Daltei marom lo nin'alu

El Chai mareimawm) (Ok… alright)

[Ending: Eric B. & Rakim]

Yo, what happened to peace?

Peace

(One…two…three…four)

(Def with the record

Def with the record

Def with the record)

(It’s so fresh)

(Goodnight kids)

(Was it good enough for you?)
