Workin' at luggage Tryna get paid the right way But somehow the right way don't pay I'm comin home' late every night Gotta struggle and fight With the baseheads on the late night hype Tryin' to creep in the house Through the cut for what? So I won't be seen by none of the homies But the homie Nate Dogg spots me And say, "Yo what's happenin' Oh, you don't know me no more Went and passed me the satin" I said, "Ah, nah, it ain't like that G I'm tryin' to go straight and have a J-O-B " "You need to quit that faggot ass job," that's what he said Showed me his grip and took some satin to the head Damn, that nigga had at least two G's And he was clockin' it wit' so much ease I told him I was gone so I'm headin' in the house Everybody knocked out So I'm locked out I go back to the front where my homies is hangin' at They offer me a cabby sack so I can start slangin' dat They say, "You ain't a hustler" I say, "Don't doubt it" Hold that thought and I'll think about it (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to long) Because I don't like to dream about gettin' paid (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to long) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to-) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to long) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid (I've been dreamin' to long) The thought's complete so let me take a seat Since I was born and raised on the streets I quit the job I had and caught myself a sack Went from a double of fifties into a c-note stack Within a week, but my peak wouldn't reach I was gettin' too known on the north side of Long Beach Niggas got to trippin' and I thought I heard it So I went to the hood on Twentieth and Murder I came up quick with some homies dat I knew from way way back And bid my sack Or maybe it was seven or was it eight hundred strong? In other words Daz had it goin' on I bought myself a bucket, that's right a bucket bitch Who you f*ck in my car on my dick My lifestyle switched a bit but my attitude didn't I told all my old bitches good riddance 'Cause when you got money hoes come automatically And no hoes don't do nothin' but cause some static see I went from khakis to Guess, braids to a fade I'm not Special Ed but I had it made Livin' the life of a baller care free Have bitches dyin' to sleep wit me ya see But I went bankrupt from all the spendin' and gamblin' Business was gettin' slow and I wasn't handlin' Mine the way that I was supposed to Now I'm broke and on a jack mission so don't get close to The D-P-G gang 'cause we scandalous when we broke We get the Doggs in us then we get to actin like so (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to long) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to long) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to-) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to long) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid Last night I had a dream Felt so good it had to be Me and my homies were gettin' paid Man, oh, man, we had it made Some homies wanna roll wit' me Some homies claim insanity Well if you wanna set trip I will If you don't wanna drop be still Damn, I can't believe this But you can best believe this Today, I'm on another mission to get paid Serve what I can serve right (right) So my pockets will stack up Nigga don't trip, nigga, back up (hold up) I gots to react off the first impulse I find But my mama thinks I should take my time and work for mines But how much work would it take? And how much money would I make? Wait There's somethin' that I gotta think about But I ain't got that much time Moms want a nigga out the house I ain't gettin' no younger, I'm only gettin' older I'm only thinkin' 'bout what my mama told me Now I'm a Dogg Pound gangsta for life And the fact that I'm out to get paid twice I ain't nothin' nice Down to slang or pull a heist Jack or break motherfuckas on the dice, that's real Now what should I do just chill When it's time to peel caps and adapt to kill? Unconcealed, unconcealed So I've maintained for the salary And my mentally is raw from the door I go hard from the door Up against all odds Always down to squab Dogg, Pound for life I survive 'til '95 Day after day makin' hits wit D-A-Z to get paid, yeah-yeah-yeah (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to long) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to long) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to-) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to long) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to long) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to long) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to-) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid (I've been dreamin' to long, to long, to long) I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
