I can be paid and don't have to have money
Jump off a bridge and don't have to use bungee
I like Cypress Hill and don't have to smoke blunts
And when the beat comes in, you don't have to jump
Oh yeah, it don't have to be, oh no
Search rides the rhythm but it doesn't have to flow
You can be beefin' and not be a tom
Go get skins and don't have to be a John
I can raise a roof and not have a home
Go so low and don't have to be alone
I can be Simon and don't have to draw
Step to the A.M. and not step out the door
I can have pockets that don't have to be stolen
Fat ass beat and it don't have to be stolen
Went a thousand places and didn't have to hike that
World full of hate and it don't have to be like that
And it don't quit and it don't stop
And it goes on and on
And it don't quit and it don't stop
And it don't quit and it don't stop
And it don't quit
And it don't quit

And it don't stop, it keeps on
I can come ghetto and don't have to be a *
Hold a conversation and don't have to have the last word
Shoot the gift swift and not miss the street
Even, um, and not come off the beat, oh yeah
Be live on without shooting off the earth
Even be golden and not have any worth
You can be beef and don't need utensils
Write rough rhymes without pens and pencils
Mad low end and I don't have any trouble
Be like rock and it don't have to be metal
Be in Detroit and don't have to be a piston
Tell me a white lie, yo, I don't have to listen
I can want and I don't have to need
Catch a cut but I don't have to bleed
Go to a club and I don't have to sweat and chill
Time to go but you don't have to get up yet
And it don't quit, and it don't stop
It keeps on till the break of dawn
And it don't quit, and it don't stop
When it don't quit, and it don't stop
And it don't quit, and it don't stop
It keeps on
I can be the U.S. and don't have to war
I can get open and don't have to fight
I don't need any door
I can get loud and don't have to scream
Peace to Dr. King and don't forget about the dream
Oh yes, oh yes, I don't have to be a yes man
Go get married and don't have to have a best man
I can be positive and don't have to be a fuss
If you're not getting paid, then you're not down with Rush
I can have skills and don't need a trade
I can be in London, don't have to like rain
Knots, knots, knots, and not have any rope
Go take a shower but don't need any soap
Point me to the mic, I need no rehearsal
Yes, I'm the man, there'll be no role reversal
I can be blue and don't have to be the jeans
But wear the X-Wing and don't have to be the jeans
When you don't know what it means
And it don't quit, and it don't stop
It keeps on and on
And it don't quit, and it don't stop
It keeps on
