*Lauryn Singing*  
 You can't run away...gonna find you  
 and take it slowly  
 You can't run away...gonna find you  
 and make you want me  
 Chorus  
 All my time it could be spent with you  
 So what you gonna do?  
 Make sure your game is true  
 See all my time it could be spent with you  
 So what you gonna do?  
 Make sure your game is true  
 *Rapping*  
 Well could it be that through these Cartiers I swear  
 their stares a specimen smooth as Sidney Poitier  
 Clean cut & dapper seems he's straight & narrow  
 Tingle in the bone marrow ???  
 but I ain't that aggressive instead I act suggestive  
 bat my eyelashes make smooth & subtle passes  
 timed perfectly with the classic under my dark glasses  
 [he must have put a spell on my mind]*sung overlapping*  
 amountin' all the words to do magic  
 with all due respect he approached it  
 and offered the roach clip as I respectfully declined to smoke it  
 [Nah nah I don't I don't do that] *spoken*  
 Broken the ice his demeanor was nice  
 he tried to freak it to my mental  
 [Ay yo it wasn't accidental]  
 Yo his talk was slick my resume is kinda thick  
 [So let's blow this scene girl and check this flick]  
 and show me why ?Paid alive? ain't ya average click  
 Recognize Paid Alive about to lock this shit  
 Chorus  
 Yeah yeah I know you got a car  
 but we should keep it in the lot  
 I got a urge to ride the train  
 let's do some walkin' in the rain  
 it sounds insane but meditative for the brain  
 plus I'd like to get to see if you as crazy as you claim.  
 [Paid Alive]  
 ?? like Iceberg Slim in Donald Gowens  
 uncut it's all raw dog hit me off  
 Paid Alive baby girl on sand this connection  
 be hit through your burrow territorial section  
 True I come correct in all mine & denim  
 truck trues top kid really wear linens  
 No question I'll show you affection  
 as I proceed to lead ya direction  
 [Lauryn] *rapping*  
 Well these procedures that you agreed to  
 I'm gonna need to know a little more  
 about ya self & family [License]  
 well who's paid and who's live?  
 Where you live what you drive?  
 Ever did a homicide?  
 [I hope not] let our molecules collide  
 In time we'll tell if you can indoor with L  
 if you tryin to knock it down then I'm not that type of girl  
 my mind's a pearl and I done been around the world  
 but if you righteous I might just let you spend the night and...  
 Chorus
