rent Lyrics

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
And the money's always gone
My papa working 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
Slip to the bottom of my empty pocket
Empty pocket, empty pocket
Slip to the bottom of my empty pocket
Empty pocket, empty pocket

Overdrawn again, feeling insufficient
Insufficient, insufficient
How many more times must I sing this song?
And the money's always gone
Mama working 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 can I ever thank you, my girl?
When the money's always gone
Now I'm working 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
Here it comes, there it goes, here it comes, there it goes
It takes money as everyone knows
Cost is high, 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?
