Lyrics

Hey! Gotta, gotta payback! (The big payback) Revenge! I'm mad! (The big payback) Got to get back! I need some get-back! Payback! Payback!(The big payback) That's it! Payback! Revenge! I'm mad! You get down with my girlfriend, that ain't right Wow! Smokin'! Hollerin' n' cussin', you wanna fight Payback is a thing you gotta see Hell! Brother do any damn thing to me You sold me out for chicken change (Yes you did) You told me that they, they had it all arranged You had me down, and that's a fact And now you punk, you gotta get ready For the big payback (The big payback) That's where I land, on the big payback (The big payback) I can do wheelin', I can do dealin' (Yes we can) But I don't do no damn squealin' I can dig rappin', I'm ready! I can dig scrapping But I can't dig that backstabbin' (Oh no) The brother get ready, that's a fact Get ready you mother for the big payback (The big payback) Let me hit them, hit them, Fred hit them Lord! You took my money, you got my honey Don't want me to see what you doin' to me I can get back! I got to deal with you! Gotta deal with ya, gotta deal with ya! I... gotta deal with...! Hey, let me tell you! Get down with my woman, that ain't right You hollerin' and cussing, you wanna fight Lookie here! Don't do me no darn favor I don't know karate, but I know ka-razor (Yes we do) Hey! Get ready, that's a fact Get ready you mother 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 you that pappa can Get ready for the big payback (The big payback) Hit me again! No, don't... Get ready, I need it, I need a hit again The same one, the same one, the same one Hit me back Lord! (The big payback) Sold me out for chicken change You said my woman had it all arranged Tried to make a deal, she wanted to squeal But I had my boys on her heels Saw what she had comin', told a lie She broke down and she wanted to cry I don't care what she does She'll be doing just like she was Take those kids and raise them up Somebody drink out the righteous cup Take her, take that woman, it's one place she found Just run that mother out of town Make her get up, make her get up, get out Make her get up, make her get up, get out I'm mad! I want revenge, I want revenge, my... (The big payback) My patience ends, I want revenge My patience ends, I want revenge I want revenge, I want revenge (The big payback) Gonna get some hits, I need those hits I need those hits, hit me! Lord, I need those hits Carry on, carry on, payback melody (The big payback) (The big payback) Alright! Da-dee-ra-da, da-dee-ra-da, da-dee-ra-da! (The big payback)
