Hand To Mouth - Assassin

Paycheck, check, check, check, check

Well it’s another one

Me just get mi paycheck, and me a wait fi the other one

Versatile, Agent Sasco

Hear me nuh, woii

Hand to mouth

As me get the money, it done!

And it feel like next month end nah go come

As me get the money, it done, it done, it done, it done

Hand to mouth…

Me get pay pon Friday…

And by Saturday it’s like me don’t know where that deh

But no feel say me squander mi money

Me work too hard fi it fi take it and dash 'way

A long time me no save

Gone are the days when me coulda have a thing stash 'way

Me lose big outta track Monday, so me nah go back deh

Me haffi try something else

Get mi pay, me pray fi Jah bless it

All kinda way me try stretch it

Me try pick three, but me never yet catch it

All the lotto, me haffi lef' it

And I don’t waan break the law

One of mi friend tell me fi try partner

But, the same week when me get mi draw

Mi hand gone back a mi jaw

Hand to mouth

As me get the money, it done!

And it feel like next month end nah go come

As me get the money, it done, it done, it done, it done

Hand to mouth…

Last night was a fault night

And likkle more so, you hear say me and the boss fight

About six week wages him owe me and come a tell man story

But story can’t put food pon mi table

Story can’t put on back mi cable

So, bossman keep your fable

You know say mi life unstable

Hear me nuh

Me owe one months rent and me haffi pay half

Me couldn’t pay light so that haffi stay off

Me have whole heap more bills fi clear off

The six week thing just throw me way off

Lord, me pray me no get laid off (woii)

'Cause if me get laid off me coulda try theif

And end up inna prison like Bernard Madoff

Hand to mouth

As me get the money, it done!

And it feel like next month end nah go come

As me get the money, it done, it done, it done, it done

Hand to mouth…

Granny say, «How water walk go a pumpkin»

But, me waan ask you something

A weh the money walk gone when a month end?

Me waan some tire and me waan fix mi front end

Water commission dem take me fi fool

How mi bill heavy so and me nuh have pool?

Lord, between this and the light bill, the youth dem cyan go a school

Hand to mouth

As me get the money, it done!

And it feel like next month end nah go come

As me get the money, it done, it done, it done, it done

Hand to mouth

As me get the money, it done!

And it feel like next month end nah go come

As me get the money, it done, it done, it done, it done

Hand to mouth…
