I Dont Like To Dream About Getting Paid Lyrics

I Dont Like To Dream About Getting Paid lyrics

Verse One: Dat Nigga Daz



Working LA

tryin to get paid tha
right way

but somehow the right way don't pay

I'm comin home late
every night

gotta struggle an fight

wit tha baseheads on tha late
night hype

tryin to creep in tha house

through tha cut 

for
what

so I won't be seen by none of the homies

but tha homie Nate
Dogg spots me

and say Yo what's happenin

No you don't know me no
more

when ya pass me tha satin

I said ah naw it ain't like that
G

I'm trying to go straight

and have a J-O-B

you need to quit
that faggot ass job

that's what he said

showed me his grip and took
some satin to tha head

Damn that nigga had at least two G's

and he
was clockin it wit so much ease

I told him I was gone so I'm headin in
tha house

everybody knocked out

so I'm locked out

I go back
to tha front 

where my homies is hangin at

they offer me a cabby
sack 

so I can start slangin dat

they say you ain't a hustler

I say don't doubt it 

Hold dat thought 

and I'll think about
it

because



Chorus: Nate Dogg



[I've been dreamin
to long, to long, to long]

I don't like to dream about gettin paid



Verse Two: Dat Nigga Daz



The thought's complete so let
me take a seat

since I was born and raised on tha streets

I quit
tha job I had

caught myself a sack

went from a double of fifty into
a ceno stack

within a week but my peak wouldn't reach

I was gettin
too known on tha north side of Long Beach

Niggas got to trippin and I
thought I heard it

so I went to tha hood

on Twentieth and Murder

I came up quick with some homies dat I knew from way way back-aca
