Rent Songtext
von Pepper

Rent to the landlord, baby
That′s his business, that's his business, that′s his business
Rent to the landlord, baby
That's his business, that's his business, that′s his business
Papa used to tell me it was the electric, the electric, the electric
Mama used to tell me it was so expensive, It′s expensive just to live

Ahn, ahn, and the money's always gone
Ahn, ahn, papa working so hard just to get paid
We make money, make money to spend
People want, people need ′cause it never ends, now baby

It takes money, takes money, my friend
People need, people want 'cause it never ends
I slip to the bottom of my empty pocket, empty pocket, empty pocket
Slip to the bottom of my empty pocket, empty pocket, empty pocket

Overdrawn again, feeling insufficient, insufficient, insufficient
How many more times must I sing this song?
Oh-oh, ahn-ahn, and the money′s always gone
Ahn, ahn, mama working so hard just to get paid


We make money, make money to spend
People want, people need 'cause it never ends, now baby
It takes money, takes money, my friend
People need, people want because it never ends

Mama used to tell me it was be electric, be electric, boy, be electric
Rent to the landlord, baby
That′s his business, that's his business, that's his business
How could I ever thank you, my girl?

Ahn, ahn, when the money′s always gone
Ahn, ahn, now, I′m working so hard just to get paid
We make money, make money to spend
People want, people need 'cause it never ends, now baby
It takes money, takes money to spend

People need, people want because it never ends, yeah
It takes money, that′s what everyone knows
Here it comes, there it goes, here it comes, here it goes
(Bring all my rent to the landlord) (oh baby)
It takes money, that's what everyone knows
Cost is high, pay is low, cost is high, pay is low

My mama working so hard just to get me by
How could I ever thank you, my girl?
