I heard that payback's a mother fuckin' bitch 

But I won't stress and I won't switch 

And I would not take my life 

Glory please my God the only thing on my mind 

Takes up all of my time 

And I said ooh! 

Running from a gun 

Or some brain that ways a ton 

And my God it hurts to get so low 

Searchin' through the cars 

Cold still searchin' through the night 

I think I will run to you but I refuse to fuss and fight 



And God may find a reason 

Well I'm sure you'll find a rhyme 

Because it takes up nearly all my time 

He who stands for freedom 

God knows I've got the number 

But maybe I just use too much 



I was sitting in that bar 

Now I'm sittin' in that stolen car 

Cold, still rollin' down the boulevard 

Saw you with a gleam 

And the microphone scene 

Think I will run, to you 

But I know I won't live for me 

Cause I know God's got both, the reason and the rhyme 

Please tell me, why he takes up all my time 

I've been drinking, just like you 

And baby, you've got something I can use 



Payback's a mother fuckin' blast 

But I won't stress and I won't blast 

And I would not take my life 

Glory please, my God, comin' from heaven above 

Takes up all of my time 

And I said 



(Why must I feel like that?) 



Running from a gun 

And some brain that ways a ton 

You know, I did that line for Flava' Flave 



But, all the D.J.'s do it 

All the D.J.'s use it 

I would run, I would switch 

But I wanna be the same 

And I know I'll find a reason 

'Cause I always bust a rhyme 

Because it takes up nearly all my time 

The "T" hear stands for treason 

The "D" hear stands for dove 

And maybe I just use too, 

Maybe I'm just used too much 

And maybe I just use too much.
