Last Resort - J-Love, Rakim

I get up in the morn, bright

I was on the mic, man we got it on last night

But today my pockets are tight

Gotta find a way to get my money right

I’m jumping on my bike

In flight, scheming on everything in sight

Uptight, and then that kid cut me off at the light

Now I’m in a fight, but not quite

The kid ran up and he got bust with all my might

I got to find away, slide, find a hideaway

Change my overlay, now everything’s A-OK

I watch the cops roll, kid is still knocked out cold

I’m on the phone

Oh yeah, I got my man on hold

A-yo meet me at the favorite spot at 1 o’clock

Call the crew, tell 'em to meet us on the block

Times is hard and I got laid off

The streets is the last resorts to get paid off

Need some money… money

Need some moolah, y’all…moolah, y’all

I’m at the top of the afternoon

It’s 'bout to be on soon

Here come the last platoon

We monopolize unstoppable plots arise

The element of surprise, intelligent men on a rise

First we use a universal greeting

Then I get straight to the reason for the meeting

Stats are low, habits are slow

The welcome mat says go

And we can make stacks of dough

But it’s back to the last resort

I got paid on

A kid, we had beef in the street to make it short

He swung and he missed

I trapped his fists and locked him

And then I snatched his watch off his wrist and dropped him

Here I am with another money making scam

We sell the Rolex and it’s to the next plan

We got laid off but I can flip the money I made off

The streets is the last resorts to get paid off

Need some money… money

Need some moolah, y’all…moolah, y’all

This is how it’s going down

A holiday called Hustler’s Day spread the word around town

This affair should be held once every year

We could come out to play and the coast is clear

We got the ball tournaments 500 a man

When you win it’s a grand and let your dough expand

But if that takes too long

We got the biggest Cee-lo game you ever seen going on

The minimum is 100 dollars to bowl

If your hands our cold we’re taking side bets on the roll

And if you’re interested something smooth like chess

Try to stress the best and seize all progress

Many events to earn plenty?

For the finale, DJs and rappers represent

And count all the money you made off the day

And come forth to your last resort to get paid off

Need some money… money

Need some moolah, y’all…moolah, y’all
