Lyrics
STAY PAID
by Steve Burks
CHORUS
I gotta get paid, stay paid
I gotta get paid, stay paid
I’m gonna get paid, stay paid
VERSE 1
It ain’t about fortune, ain’t about fame
but they get me with the ad campaigns
Madison Avenue’s in my brain
CHORUS
I gotta get paid, stay paid
I gotta get paid, stay paid
I’m gonna get paid, stay paid
VERSE 2
It ain’t about money in every case (but I)
gotta get food on this plate
and pay the rent if ima stay in this place
(That’s why I’m singin’ bout)
CHORUS
I gotta get paid, stay paid
I gotta get paid, stay paid
I’m gonna get paid, stay paid
VERSE 2
It ain’t about money in every case (but I)

I gotta get paid, stay paid
I’m gonna get paid, stay paid
VERSE 3
Baby need shoes and I do too
Gonna do better than make it through
Prosperity I’m coming for you

Regardless of your continent
