Lyrics

BEEN PAID
People gettin' richer around these parts
A poverty of love is in your hearts
Prayin' for deliverance to the cyberland
I wrote this song so you could understand

Been paid, already
Never have to make a dime
Persuaded many
To put their troubles out of mind
Sweet music is my trade
Ah been paid

Times may come to try your soul
Worldly goods give you false control
Dollar signs flashin' up in your eyes
You try to be hip, fool, you better get wise

Been paid, already
Figured out what it's worth
Frustrated plenty
Livin' on the planet earth
I cannot be dismayed
Ah been paid

Better start lookin' for a light to shine
All I can say is I got mine
Peace of mind don't have no price
If you dig my verse, a tip would be nice
Been paid, already
Never have to make a dime
Persuaded many
To put their trouble out of mind
(TAG)
This is my crusade
Least I?m not afraid
Sweet music is my trade
Ah been paid
