Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Get down

[Chorus]

Paid the cost to be the boss

Paid the cost to be the boss

I paid the cost to be the boss

[Chorus]

Look at me, you know what you see

You see a bad mother

Look at me, you know what you see

You see a bad mother

[Chorus]

Paid the cost to be the boss

Paid the cost to be the boss

[Chorus]

Look at me, you know what you see

You see a bad mother

Huh

Huh

[Bridge]

Told you so

Told you so

Having fun, I got money to burn

Having fun, I got money to burn

Having fun, I got money to burn

Having fun, I got money to burn

[Chorus]

Paid the cost to be the boss

Paid the cost to be the boss

Paid the cost to be the boss

[Verse 2]

Crossed the tracks, uh, turned my back, uh

Crossed the tracks, uh, turned my back, uh

[Chorus]

Paid the cost to be the boss

[Chorus]

I'm a bad mother

Huh

I'm a bad mother

Head for the turn around

Head for the turn around

Told you so

[Outro]

Paid the cost to be the boss
