[Refrain]

I heard that payback's a motherfuckin' bitch, but I won't stress and I won't switch

And I would not take my life

Glory, please, at God, the only thing on my mind

Takes up all of my time, and I said, ooh


[Verse 1]

Running from a gun or some brain that weighs a ton

My God, it hurts to get so low

Searchin' through the car, 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


[Chorus 1]

He who stands for freedom

God knows I've got the numb

But maybe I just use too much


[Verse 2]

I was sitting in the bar, now I'm sittin' in that stolen car

Cold, still rollin' down the boulevard

Thought you was a queen, and the microphone scene

Think I will run to you, but I know I won't quit for me

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

Please tell me why he takes up all my time


[Chorus 2]

I've been drinking, just like you

And, baby, you got something I can use


[Refrain]

Payback's a motherfuckin' blast, but I won't stress and I won't blast

And I would not take my life

Glory, please, at God, comin' from Heaven above

Takes up all of my time, and I said


[Guitar Solo]

"Why must I feel like that?"


[Verse 3]

Running from a gun and some brain that weighs a ton

You know, I bit that line from Flava Flav

But, all the DJ's do it, all the DJ'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


[Chorus 3]

The "T" here stands for treason, the "D" here stands for dumb

But, maybe I just use too, maybe I'm just used to

Maybe I'm just used too much
