Song Lyrics

Needs to get back
Gotta get ready
The Big Payback, uh huh
The Big Payback, whoo
Please, sir, get back, uh

Get down with my boyfriend, that ain't right
You holler and you cuss, you want to fight
Payback is the thing you gotta see
Ever do any damn thing to me
Sold me out for chicken change (yes you did)
Said my man had it all arranged
You handed me down, and that's a fact
And now you punk, you gotta get ready
For the big payback

I can do wheeling, I can do dealing
But I don't do no damn squealing
I can dig rapping, I can do scrapping
But I can't dig that backstabbing, no, uh huh
(Oh no), now listen
Better get ready, that's a fact
Get ready you mother for the big payback (the big payback)
The big payback (the big payback)
I, I need those hits
I got to have those hits

Oh yeah
Uh huh
The big payback (the big payback)
The big payback (the big payback)

Get down with my boyfriend, that ain't right
You holler and you sream, you wanna fight
Don't do me no damn favors
I don't know karate, but I know ka-razor (yes you do)
I don't know karate, but I know ka-razor (yes you do)
Need those hits, same ones
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Take me to the bridge, take me to the bridge

Oh, mmm hmm, listen, yeah
Get down with my man, that ain't right
You holler and you sream, you wanna fight
Payback is the thing you got to see
Ever do any damn thing to me
Sold me out for chicken change (yes you did)
Said my man had it all arranged
You handed me down, that's a fact
Get ready you mother
For the big payback (the big payback)
Oh, come on, I got to have those hits

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, uh huh
Need those hits, come on
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh huh
I need those hits, same ones

Gotta get ready for the big payback
Come on, gotta get ready

Need some get back, uh huh
Back to back
You gotta get ready for the big payback, the big payback
Get ready you mother, for the big payback
Come on, get ready
You better get ready for the big payback, the big payback, the big payback
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, uh huh just feel it, just like it was
Come on, you better get up
You better get up, get down, get up, get down
Get up, get up, get down
You better get ready for the big payback
The big payback, oh yeah
You better get ready for the big payback, get up, get down, get up, get down
