Rakim - Last Resort lyrics

I get up in the morn, bright
I was on the mic, man we got it on last night
But today my pockets are tight
Gotta find a way to get my money right
I'm jumping on my bike
In flight, scheming on everything in sight
Uptight, and then that kid cut
Me off at the light
Now I'm in a fight, but not quite
The kid ran up and he got
Bust with all my might
I got to find away, slide, find a hideaway
Change my overlay, now everything's A-OK
I watch the cops roll
Kid is still knocked out cold
I'm on the phone
Oh yeah, I got my man on hold
A yo meet me at the
Favorite spot at 1 o'clock call the crew
Tell 'em to meet us on the block
Times is hard and I got laid off
The streets is the last resorts
To get paid off

Need some moneymoney
Need some moolah, y'allmoolah, y'all

I'm at the top of the afternoon
It's 'bout to be on soon
Here come the last platoon
We monopolize unstoppable plots arise
The element of surprise
Intelligent men on a rise
First we use a universal greeting
Then I get straight to the
Reason for the meeting
Stats are low, habit's are slow
The welcome mat says go
And we can make stacks of dough
But, it's back to the last resort
I got paid on a kid
We had beef in the street to make it short
He swung and he missed
I trapped his fists and locked him
And then I snatched his watch off
His wrist and dropped him
Here I am with another money making scam
We sell the Rolex and it's to the next plan
We got laid off but I can
Flip the money I made off
The streets is the last resorts
To get paid off

Need some moneymoney
Need some moolah, y'allmoolah, y'all

This is how it's going down
A holiday called Hustler's Day spread
The word around town
This affair should be held once every year
We could come out to play
And the coast is clear
We got the ball tournaments 500 a man
When you win it's a grand
And let your dough expand
But, if that takes too long
We got the biggest Cee-lo game
You ever seen going on
The minimum is 100 dollars to bowl
If your hands our cold we're taking
Side bets on the roll
And if you're interested something
Smooth like chess
Try to stress the best and seize all progress
Many events to earn plenty?
For the finale, DJs and rappers represent
And count all the money you made off the day
And come forth to your last
Resort to get paid off

Need some moneymoney
Need some moolah, y'allmoolah, y'all
