Paid in Full, Paul Wall - Tryin to Get Paid lyrics

I'm on the grind
Trying to make paper stack up
And if I slip and fall, then I get back up
A two piece, any hater that wanna act up
And if boxing don't work
A Glock got my back up pimping
Talking down, is a thing of the past
Instead of tripping off of me
You should be getting your cash
I got a lot of paparazzi
Trying to see through my glass
Well peep game I'm bout to teach class
Listen to me
I'm a hustler, with only one thing on my mind
And that's getting all that's mine
While I'm in my prime
Whether it's legal or a crime
The police still blind
Cause, I'm quiet and hush hush, like a mime
I'm gon shine
But not till the appropriate time


So I nickel and dime, every lick I find
If I fall in a bind, my inventory still fine
I never let a slump
Influence the way I grind baby

All day and every night
I think about one thang stacking my change
And that ain't never gon change
I got plans for running game
Until the money is drained
Putting rocks in my ring
And ride a drop on swangs
Steady hustling on the grind
Out here doing my thang
I'm just trying to maintain
How many licks I could stang
But these boys who talking loud
They ain't got nothing to say
But, I ain't worried
I'm just trying to get paid

I'm on the grind, I hustle everyday all day
I'm trying to shine
With muscle and show off parque
I lost time in the struggle
So I grind always
Cause on my mind, I'm making up for lost pay
I'm using my past for inspiration
When I was broke
I had dreams and aspirations
Influenced by hope
I get up get out and get it
While I can cause I might get jammed
Life don't always go, the way that you plan
Instead of ducking the undercovers
Or snoring undercovers
I'm climbing out the underground
Increasing my numbers 24
7 I grind, ain't no time for sleep
Cause if you snooze you lose
And if you sleep you won't eat pimping
I go and get it, being broke I ain't with it
A different hustle every minute
If I said it I did it i can't let no critic
Influence my mash for paper
I grind major I'mma shine later, holla playa

All day and every night
I think about one thang stacking my change
And that ain't never gon change
I got plans for running game
Until the money is drained
Putting rocks in my ring
And ride a drop on swangs
Steady hustling on the grind
Out here doing my thang
I'm just trying to maintain
How many licks I could stang
But these boys who talking loud
They ain't got nothing to say
But, I ain't worried
I'm just trying to get paid

I'm on the grind
I worked for everything that I got
I go and get it while it's hot
I'm on the block nonstop cause, I remember
When I didn't have didly squat and I'm not
Trying to make a U turn from the top pimping
It ain't no time, for relationships
Cause 99 percent of dips
Will try to take your chips
Ain't no slipping in my pimping
Or slacking on my macking
These boys lazy Cadillac'ing
While I'm greenback stacking
Cause, while they in they
Bed catching they Z's i'm in the streets
Trying to catch me some G's
I gotta go and get all that I'm worth
Cause being broke hurt
And I ain't got time for shooting the breeze
Check me out i hustle like a fiend
Cause, I'm addicted to cash
I can't let my window, of oppritunity pass
It really ain't no telling
How long my money gon last
So I mash and get it fast
First class for real

All day and every night
I think about one thang stacking my change
And that ain't never gon change
I got plans for running game
Until the money is drained
Putting rocks in my ring
And ride a drop on swangs
Steady hustling on the grind
Out here doing my thang
I'm just trying to maintain
How many licks I could stang
But these boys who talking loud
They ain't got nothing to say
But, I ain't worried
I'm just trying to get paid
