Pay Check
A clarion call to those who take but never give. DL pulls no punches in tackling these parasitical predators with style and panache. A darkly rich exploration into the human psyche that soars high and never comprises its moral stance.

lyrics

INTRO
Now this song is dedicated to… all those young ladies who…
Seem to… like to spend other people’s money

CHORUS
Baby, baby, baby I don’t wanna be rude
But I know the cause of your bloody attitude
I know why you act that way
It usually happens when you didn’t get paid
I sympathize crazily
When you get your pay check you can come check me
This aint a joint to disrespect you
But one pay check aint better than two (check it out)

VERSE 1
It’s a classic example of a, a broke chick
Sweating you for money it makes you so sick
Yep you got paper but ooops she knows this
Now she’s seeing you in Technicolor like Joseph
You the first number in her speed dial phone
Makes that quick call when her doe gets low
When her doe’s no more when her doe’s all gone
She will be that predator and she preys on
You telling you her sob story
You say there, there thinking “what’s this got to do with me?”
“I helped you out the last time and you owe me”
“I’ll get it back to you”, that’s what you told me
But you’ll fail to mention it the next time we speak
And you’ll fail to mention it the next time we speak
And you failed to mention it the next time we spoke
And you failed again, come on you that broke?
Smooth it out now baby, I know you aint rich
But you aint got to be the one who straight acts like a…
I shouldn’t say that, maybe I’ve gone too far
True it’s a hard life maybe I’ve gone too harsh
But if I open up my wallet and I show it to you
Your eyes will pop out of your head just like a kids cartoon
And so I have to sing a little song for you
Just to remind you that I’m cool but hon I aint that dude!

CHORUS

VERSE 2
Now I aint the type of dude who likes to sit here and preach
But I will if I am noticing that you are a leech
And you probably aint gone listen to this musical speech
Thinking to yourself “I’ll play him cos I know he’s a geek”
Wrong baby girl, now is that what you think?
But call me up to take you for a couple of drinks
Some Chinese food and a cinema seat
Then call the next week like you want a repeat
Now I aint saying that a man shouldn’t pay
But he likes to get the feeling that he aint being played
But something’s telling me that baby really don’t care
All she wants is money just to straighten her hair
Get her nails done at the expense of a guy
She’s not a hard worker but she wants to look fly
And this attitude is kind of wack word up
Yeah she got a job but she don’t hardly turn up
Smooth it out now, so why you never got doe?
But she don’t need no doe if she can spend all of yours
And she don’t need no doe if you be giving her more
And she don’t need no doe because you gave her before
But there’s a few things that you must understand (huh)
Your bank account is her contingency plan
So I had to sing this little song for that chick
To remind her that I’m older and I know every trick (huh)

CHORUS

LEI-AN CHORUS
Baby, baby, babe you say you’re not being rude
But you’re so sick of my bloody attitude
Wondering why I act this way
It usually happens when you get paid
I sympathize crazily
But when you get your pay check that’s when you see me
Why should I work when I can live off of you?
Even though one pay is better than two

CHORUS


REFRAIN
Lets go (x13)

OUTRO
So did it really work out for you? I don’t think so…
Was it really worth all that trouble?
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
