Young MC - When I Spot The Loot lyrics

[Intro] Dollar dollar bill, y'all Money, paper Cheese, cheddar Scrilla, spot the loot [Hook] When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit And any other alternative does not compute When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit And any other alternative does not compute [Verse 1] Paper chase, it's a paper chase And if you don't think so, let me make the case On your mark, get set, gotta make the race And if you come into my lane, you better make some space Cause folks'll do anything to get that note Like politicians out tryna get that vote Or the media following to get that quote And if you fall short, baby, that's all she wrote Whether rich or poor, people want some more Wanna do a little better than they did before They can hate their job, but they know the score That the paycheck's simply what they working for Wanna buy anything from a fancy store Or get the nice out by the shore Ladies to adore, lookin' hot and cute That's what I think about when I spot the loot [Hook] When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit And any other alternative does not compute When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit And any other alternative does not compute [Verse 2] I first grabbed the mic when I heard the beat And then laid the hot joint to alert the street But I had to do more than just serve the heat Had to raise the bottom line on my balance sheet Had to make my mission statement clear Just to put hot songs into your ear To erase my doubts, overcome my fear And transform my hobby into a career If you understand that, you can understand this I put every bit of effort into how I planned this On tour to ensure the fans that man this With my eyes on the prize so I'll expand this I worked hard to get it, you can take it from me But you better get your own, you can't take it from me Cause I'm breaking in, see, like a top recruit And that's how I go about it when I spot the loot [Hook] When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit And any other alternative does not compute When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit And any other alternative does not compute [Verse 3] Light bill, phone bill, cable bill, damn Gas bill, water bill, got me in a jam Internet, Blackberry, they know who I am And that's on top of breaking off Uncle Sam And I ain't even mention either mortgage or rent Or the car, no payment for the money they lent And the credit card charge, man, its hard to prevent No matter how much you make, its like its already spent Now there ain't no doubt that it's hard to cope But that ain't no reason to give up hope You can see yourself sliding the slope But if you reach out ya hand, you might find a rope Now here's my point, and there's no dispute Yo, for hard work, there's no substitute If you plant a seed, then you'll bed a fruit And that's the way I feel about it when I spot the loot [Hook] When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit And any other alternative does not compute (Hey!) When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit And any other alternative does not compute (One more!) When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit And any other alternative does not compute (Hey!) When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit When I spot the loot, I'm in hot pursuit And any other alternative does not compute
