Rent

lyrics

Rent to the landlord baby, that's his business, that's his business, that's his business
Rent to the landlord baby, that's his business, that's his business, that's his business
Papa used to tell me it was the electric, the electric, the electric
Mama used to tell me it was so expensive, It's expensive just to live
I, and the money's always gone
I, papa working so hard just to get paid
We make money, make money, to spend,
People want, people need cause it never ends, now baby
It takes money, takes money my friend
People need, people want cause it never ends
Slip to the bottom of my empty pocket, empty pocket, empty pocket
Slip to the bottom of my empty pocket, empty pocket, empty pocket
Overdrawn again, feeling insufficent, insufficent, insufficent
How many more times must I sing this song
I, and the money's always gone
I, papa working so hard just to get paid
We make money, make money, to spend,
People want, people need cause it never ends, now baby
It takes money, takes money my friend
People need, people want because it never ends
Mama used to tell me it was, be electric, be electric boy, be electric
Rent to the landlord baby, that's his business, that's his business, that's his business
How can I ever thank you my girl
I, when the money's always gone
I, now I'm working so hard just to get paid
We make money, make money, to spend,
People want, people need cause it never ends now baby
It takes money, takes money to spend
People need, people want because it never ends yah
It takes money, everyone knows
Here it comes, there it goes, Here it comes, there it goes oh baby
It takes money, everyone knows
Cost is high pay is low, cost is high pay is low
My mama working so hard just to get me by
How could I ever thank you, my girl
