24 Hours

[Chorus: Pharoahe Monch]

Give me my motherfuckin' money

I want my goddamn money

In 24 hours you better have my money

I got bills and shit, I need medicine

Roof over my head, Con Edison

I need it

I want it

[Verse 1: Pharoahe Monch]

In '99 I caught a case for a rhyme, rape charge

Cut a Klansman's face, slashed his throat with the race card

Lyrically intergalactic

When I arrange to properly wait between my words, spacebars

Don't make me show you pictures of your daughter's grade school location

Your teenager goes to Queens Vocational

You? Wall Street occupation

Me? I'll occupy Wall Street like the protest just to discuss interest rates and inflation

Not stocks and bonds, but

Contusions and knots, fractions and blood coagulation

My medication is next to go

But I'ma get it out of Canada or Mexico

I need cash in hand with extra dough

For my albuterol and my Lexapro

Give me my money

[Chorus: Pharoahe Monch]

Give me my motherfucking money

I want my goddamn money

In 24 hours you better have my money

I got bills and shit, I need medicine

Roof over my head, Con Edison

I need it

I want it

[Bridge: Pharoahe Monch (Lil' Fame)]

Now they gon' make me drop a name on 'em (Say what?)

Totally inflict pain on 'em (Say what?)

I'ma get insane on 'em

They sayin' I'm sick so I'm a sick Lil' Fame on 'em

[Verse 2: Lil' Fame & Pharoahe Monch]

You got 24 hours to pay me my bread or you don't owe me nothing (Ante up!)

'Cause when I see you, you gon' get yo' head busted

I don't care if they rob Peter just to pay Paul

Peter gon' fuck around and get his ass Peter Rose

Scratch a match, burn that bitch for clownin' with Jamal

Taxiderm that bitch and mount him on the wall (Okay)

Time tickin'

All you gon' hear is that nine clickin'

I'm tryna get rich or die tryin'

Got my niggas speakin' to my son like

Don't worry, Claude, you gon' get them Sneakers (That's right)

That's what a nigga get for fuckin' with them leeches (Oh)

Could've furnished your crib with all the deluxe features (Oh)

Captain underground, you are just a lieutenant (Nigga)

I'm a Brownsvillain with a chest full of ribbons (Nigga)

It was 23 hours and a couple minutes

I threw that bird into a safe, she had my money plus interest

I said

[Chorus: Pharoahe Monch]

Give me my motherfuckin' money

I want my goddamn money

In 24 hours you better have my money

I got bills and shit, I need medicine

Roof over my head, Con Edison

I need it

I want it

[Outro: Pharoahe Monch]

I need it

Want it

Need it

Want it
