Rent

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-I, and the money's always gone

I-I, papa workin' 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

I slip to the bottom of my empty pocket

Empty pocket, empty pocket

I slip to the bottom of my empty pocket

Empty pocket, empty pocket

Overdrawn again, feelin' insufficient

Insufficient, insufficient

How many more times must I sing this song? Oh

I-I, and the money's always gone

I-I, mama workin' 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 could I ever thank you, my girl?

I-I, when the money's always gone

I-I, now I'm workin' 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, yeah

It takes money as everyone knows

(It takes money, takes money)

Here it comes, there it goes, here it comes, there it goes

(Gonna pay my rent to the landlord) (Oh, baby)

It takes money as everyone knows

(It takes money, takes money)

Cost is hight, 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?
