Breez Evahflowin' ft. Shonuff - "Pay 2 Live" [Emcee(s): Breez Evahflowin'] [Producer(s): Camu Tao (Original Instrumental from Cage - "Public Property")] [Hook: Shonuff] [Verse 1: Breez Evahflowin'] [?], got my Hamilton jaw But sort of like the pain, I want the Benjamins more That's all that I can think. I can't attempt to ignore I sought out what I think in this attempt to explore My Brain tells my Pinky that they meant to get more Before long, word done spread up through my forearms 'Fore long, work is something to get my jump on More long O.T. hours to get my store on Shop on. At same time, getting my poor on Looking very decent while living like a moron Looking at this government like, "Let's get restore on" They pour on a billion a week to get this war on I'm from New York. On that unsettled score Left Bin Laden chilling in some cave like Skeletor Laughing as the infrastructure decay From whatever put the blade to the structures of trade. We Paid [Hook: Shonuff] (x2) Yeah, we paid Trying to be winners, set things right, but You're digging in my pockets, can't keep my profits Taking my niece to survive, we got to pay to live [Verse 2: Breez Evahflowin'] It's probably way deeper than the shit I was stressing to Plus bigger than Bush or than Dick with the spectacles With games to distract us like, "Look at Mexico" Turning politics from parties into festivals Upsetting folks like, "Fuck long lines. [?] to vote" Change gotta come like the song line. They got to go Got off on a technical. Same old rules apply Whitey leave a mess and left the cleanup to the black guy Yeah, I'm that guy. You're this person? You're just like me? I bet worse than. You're dis- -persing more than you take. Take away from What's given. That's something missing, but some are living [Hook: Shonuff] (x2) Yeah, we paid Trying to be winners, set things right, but You're digging in my pockets, can't keep my profits Taking my niece to survive, we got to pay to live [Verse 3: Breez Evahflowin'] My foot hurt right over my Ankle. Right foot tend to lean into it I knew I couldn't write good. I could Wait for fate to intervene into it Can't quit it. Got to share this story See me? I wasn't scared of glory, but my game was So advanced and strange that they couldn't category And, still, in all, a battle for me. My catalog Dates back to standalone tape racks, stretching out A hundred dollar session over analog tape tracks Walkman to running in place. I seen 'Em rise, seen 'em fall to a stunning disgrace 'Cause they wanted to keep up with the pace. Should have done it with Grace, but he couldn't give 'em nothing to taste, nothing To feel, extrasensory. Real from Senses beat down for centuries. Still, we Paid [Hook: Shonuff] (x2) Yeah, we paid Trying to be winners, set things right, but You're digging in my pockets, can't keep my profits Taking my niece to survive, we got to pay to live
