第一节（其实就一节）：Rakim [00:48.44]Thinking of a master plan
我正考虑一个蓝图 [00:50.78]Cause ain't nothing but sweat inside my hand
因为我身上啥都没有，只有我手心的汗（因为缺钱） [00:53.13]So I dig into my pocket, all my money spent
我的手插入口袋，发现钱都花光了 [00:55.17]So I dig deeper, but still coming up with lint
于是我手插得更深，可只能摸着口袋里的棉絮 [00:57.96]So I start my mission, leave my residence
所以我着手工作，离家闯闯 [01:00.30]Thinking how could I get some dead presidents
思考着怎样能弄到点钞票 [01:02.22]I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
我需要钱财，我也是个无良青年 （stick-up kid引用自 [01:04.78]So I think of all the devious things I did
我回想了自己之前的所作所为 [01:07.22]I used to roll up, this is a hold up
我曾经在黑街打滚，谋求生计 [01:09.41]Ain't nothing funny
现在想想也觉得好笑 [01:10.28]Stop smiling, be still, don't nothing move
别笑了，讲真，一切都不会改变（双关，Rakim在这里不仅自嘲说做这一切都是为了钱，而且暗指社会的低流动性，少数群体们得不到应有的公民权） [01:12.01]But the money
只有钱在不断易主 [01:12.67]But now I learned to earn cause I'm righteous
现在我打算学着挣点大钞，因为我现在正经了 [01:14.67]I feel great so maybe I might
这感觉很棒，也许我真的应该如此 [01:16.95]Just search for a 9 to 5
找个朝九晚五的工作 [01:19.10]If I strive then maybe I'll stay alive
如果我努力奋斗或许日子会好过些 [01:21.95]So I walk up the street, whistling this
我要走出黑街，对抗这一切 [01:24.45]Feeling out of place cause, man, do I miss
豁出去了，我必须抓紧机会 [01:26.99]A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of
一支笔，一张纸，一间录音室，一卷录音带 [01:29.34]Me and Eric B and a nice big plate of
我跟Eric B将会在饶舌这一行 [01:31.83]Fish, which is my favorite dish
捞一笔大的 这也是我最大的愿望 [01:34.08]But without no money its still a wish
但是没有钱的话那一切终究只是空想 [01:36.26]Cause I don't like to dream
我可不喜欢做着 [01:37.90]About getting paid
暴富的白日梦 [01:38.91]So I dig into the books of the
所以我扎入书海中 [01:40.28]Rhymes that I made
用心的写我每一句的歌词 [01:41.20]So now's a test to see if I got pull
那么现在就看看我是否能造出点影响力（指对嘻哈音乐做出贡献） [01:43.79]Hit the studio, cause I'm paid in full
发行这张唱片吧，我迫不及待要大赚一笔了 [01:48.24](Outro: Eric B. and Rakim)
（尾声： Eric B. 和 Rakim） [01:49.00]Rakim, check this out, yo
Rakim，检查一下，词不用改了吧 [01:51.00]You go to your girl house and I'll go to mine
赶快回你女票家去吧，我也一样 [01:53.08]Cause my girl is definitely mad
我女票都等急眼了（遗憾的是二位嫂夫人并没怎么支持这对嘻哈史上一对经典的组合） [01:54.57]Cause it took us too long to do this album
就因为咱俩工作时间略长（Paid In Full全专似乎在一周之内就制作完成了） [01:55.93]Yo, I hear what you're saying
嘿，我听见你说啥了 [01:58.60]So let's just pump the music up
来，把这碟封好送走吧 [01:59.10]And count our money
然后再动动手头，准备数数票子 [02:01.75]Yo, well check this out, yo Eli
还是再检查一下，Eric大神 [02:02.42]Turn down the bass down
把低音调小 [02:04.10]And let the beat just keep on rockin'
接着放鼓点就行 [02:05.49]And we outta here
我人声部分收尾了 [02:08.47]Yo, what happened to peace,peace?
诶，Ra你还没完呢 [02:09.95]Peace,peace,peace
