Lyrics
Next Pay Day (remix)
By Nichelle Colvin
Chant 1
Aaron B . ..Help me out with this situation (2 x's)
Getting my hustle on. . .I ain't got a dime
Verse 1
I've got some property, I just put up for sell
The situation ain't right for me, and I say oh well. . .oh well
Look on the bright side, at least you got your health
It ain't always about wealth
The father's always taken care of me. . .but until then
I don't have a dime until next pay
Bridge
Gotta go to the store, milk's 4 dallors a gallon
Gotta go to the store, juice's 5 dallors a gallon
This light bill just took all I had, my rent's due, my electric's due. . my gas
Mailman just brought me a medical bill, mailman just brought a credit card bill
Gas prices high. . .and I don't understand why so!
I don't have a dime until next pay
Chorus
I'm getting my hustle on, this song is for folks that's grown
Working up a sweat, working off this debt
Got me on the run, because of my lack of funds (repeat 2 x's)
Verse 2
I got bad news today, my boy just got laid off
Now that is a crying shame, 20 years on the job
But we done been through tougher thangs than this
We done suffer for years, and still we exist
Tell my boy to come over to my Barbeque, Cheer up!!
Nothing ever last. . .this too shall past
Bridge
(Go to bridge then Chorus out!)
