Tha Payroll(Stay Strong) - Spearhead

Tha Payroll(Stay Strong) (Explicit) - Spearhead
Gramma this one's for you
Mama mama mama mama I couldn't say no
Got sick and tired of seein'
Brothers being treated ill
They say to chill they say my homey's not available
I hear mama they got him working on tha payroll
Mama mama mama mama I couldn't say no
Got sick and tired of seein'
Siestas being treated ill
They say to chill
They say my home girl's not available
I hear mama they got her working on tha payroll
At 21 the brother
Smooth he got a record deal
Been working hard been writin' songs
About the things he feels
He says it's real
Cause I got bills but I got skills
My deck is stacked
If I could only get my sh*t on wax
When it was ripe
He took his tape up to the rec execs
They smoked cigars and rolled
Their eye's at him behind their specs
Your sh*t is phat
But I don't hear it in the format jack
What's all this black crap check page twenty one
Of your contract
Mama mama mama mama I couldn't say no
Got sick and tired of seein'
Brothers being treated ill
They say to chill they say my homey's not available
I hear mama they got him working on tha payroll
Mama mama mama mama I couldn't say no
Got sick and tired of seein'
Brothers being treated ill
They say to chill they say my homey's not available
I hear mama they got him working on tha payroll
A friend of mine Roberta
She got a job at the post office
She was college educated
But got fired up at the law office
I'm all alone two kids at home
I need a job just any job
So I can get back on my feet like Tina
The boss came up to her said
Why don't you come home with me
I'd like to see you take off your clothes for me
She said no way man
He said you don't understand
You lose your life you lose your job
If you don't do this shift
Mama mama mama mama I couldn't say no
Got sick and tired of seein'
Brothers being treated ill
They say to chill they say my homey's not available
I hear mama they got him working on tha payroll
Mama mama mama mama I couldn't say no
Got sick and tired of seein'
Brothers being treated ill
They say to chill they say my homey's not available
I hear mama they got him working on tha payroll
I met a black man who became a police officer
Officer officer officer officer officer overseer
He tried to tell me it was the only job available
Either rob or join the mob cause I'm not salable
One night he went out on an undercover sting ring
Bought some smack tried to break the h****n ring ring
Two cops white cops saw juggling goin' down
They spilled his brain like homey the f**kin' clown
Mama mama mama mama I couldn't say no
Got sick and tired of seein' people bein' treated ill
Picked up my nines walked up from behind
Tapped two of them on the neck
So I could meet their eyes direct
Pom pom
I didn't do it for tha payroll
Mama mama mama mama I couldn't say no
Got sick and tired of seein'
Brothers being treated ill
They say to chill they say my homey's not available
I hear mama they got him working on tha payroll
Mama mama mama mama I couldn't say no
Got sick and tired of seein'
Brothers being treated ill
They say to chill they say my homey's not available
I hear mama they got him working on tha payroll
