Danger Major - Pay the Man Lyrics

Now Joe Joe is a mean old snake
He's winding through these streets
Word is he ain't lost a step and he coming after me
Now I don't owe Joe anything but it's gonna cost me big
He likes hits for money and he's looking hungry like a wolf with iron fist
I hear him running down the river
Hear him knocking at my door
I know he's got a hairpin trigger
And he's looking for something more
And if he finds me it won't be good
He'll take all I got
He'll strike the hammer and point the gun and he only takes one shot
Pay the man

(Pay the man) His only purpose is looking for the green
(Pay the man) While you still got time or it's about get mean
(Pay the man) His visits come with flowers at your door
(Pay the man) But they're for your mother cause you ain't here no more

Now Joe ain't got no patience
What he wants he wants it now
So if you can't give old Joe the slip
You better lay your money down
And if your flat feet turn to run
You'll find he's got a plan
And with a shotgun bang you'll hear him say
"It's time to pay the man."
Cause I hear him pounding on the pavement
Like a bull that's seeing red
He's got your number on the docket
And the jury says your dead
Now Joe ain't got no time to waste
So you better listen fast
Cause when you close your eyes and take a breath
It might just be your last
Pay the man

(Pay the man) His only purpose is looking for the green
(Pay the man) While you still got time or its about get mean
(Pay the man) His visits come with flowers at your door
(Pay the man) But they're for your mother cause you ain't here no more

Pay The Man
