Lyrics
Hey, gotta, gotta pay back
(The big payback)
Revenge, I'm mad
(The big payback)
Got to get back
Need some get back, payback
(The big payback)
That's it, payback, revenge, I'm mad
Get down with my girlfriend, that ain't right
Hollerin', cussin', you wanna fight
Payback is a thing you gotta see
Brother, do any damn thing to me
Sold me out for chicken change
(Yes you did)
Told me that they, they had it all arranged
You had me down and that's a fact
Now you punk, you gotta get ready
For the big payback
(The big payback)
That's where I am, the big payback
(The big payback)
I can do wheelin', I can do dealin'
(Yes, you can)
But I don't do no damn squealin'
I can dig rappin', I'm ready, I can dig scrappin'
But I can't dig that backstabbin'
(Oh, no)
The brother get ready, thats a fact
Get ready you mother for the big payback
(The big payback)
Let me hit 'em hit 'em, hey, hey, wooo
Took my money, you got my honey
Don't want me to see what you doing to me
I got to get back, I gotta deal with you
I got to get back, I gotta deal with you
I got to get back, I gotta deal with you
I got to get back, I gotta deal with you
Hey, let me tell ya
Get down with my woman, that ain't right
You hollerin' and cussin', you wanna fight
Don't do me no darn favor
I don't know karate but I know Ka-razor
(Yes we do)
Get ready, that's a fact
Get ready you, other for the big payback
(The big payback)
Hey, I'm a man, I'm a man
I'm a son of a man
But don't they tell ya then papa can
Get ready for the big payback
(The big payback)
Hit 'em again
Get ready I need it, I need a hit again
Say it once, say it once, say it once
Hit 'em again
(The big payback)
Sold me out for chump change
Said my woman had it all arranged
Tryin' to make a deal, she wants to squeal
But I had my boys on her heals
Saw me comin', told a lie
Went down like you wanted to cry
I don't care what she does
She'll be doin' just like she was
Take those kids and raise them up
Somebody teach 'em to be righteous tough
Take her, take that woman
It's one place she found
Just run that mother out of town
Got to get up, got to get up, get out
Got to get up, got to get up, get out
I'm mad, I want revenge, I want revenge
(The big payback)
I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge
(The big payback)
Give me those hits, I want some hits
I need those hits, hit me
