I Don't Like To Dream About Gettin Paid
Lionel Richie, Greg Phillinganes, Ricardo Brown, Calvin Broadus, Nathaniel Hale
Workin' at luggage
Tryna get paid the right way
But somehow the right way don't pay
I'm comin' home late every night
Gotta struggle and fight
With the baseheads on the late night high
Tryna creep in the house
Through the cut for what?
So I won't be seen by none of the homies
But the homie Nate Dogg spots me
And say, "Yo, what's happenin'?
Oh, you don't know me no more?
And passed me the satin"
I said, "Ah, nah, it ain't like that G
I'm tryna go straight and have a J-O-B "
"You need to quit that faggot ass job," that's what he said
Showed me his grip and took some satin to the head
Damn, that nigga had at least two G's
And he was clockin' it wit so much ease
I told him I was gone so I'm headed in the house
Everybody knocked out
So I'm locked out
I go back to the front where my homies is hangin' at
They offer me a cavi sack so I can start slangin' dat
They say, "You ain't a hustler"
I say, "Don't doubt it"
Hold that thought and I'll think about it
(I've been dreamin' too long, too long, too long)
Because
I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
(I've been dreamin' too long, too long, too long)
I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
(I've been dreamin' too long, too long, too-)
I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
(I've been dreamin' too long, too long, too long)
I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
(I've been dreamin' too long)
The thought's complete so let me take a seat
Since I was born and raised on the streets
I quit the job I had and cop myself a sack
Went from a double of fifty into a c-note stack
Within a week, but my peak wasn't reached
I was gettin' too known on the north side of Long Beach
Niggas got to trippin' and I thought I heard it
So I went to the hood on 20th and Myrtle
I came up quick with some homies dat I knew from way way back
And bid my sack
Or maybe it was seven or was it eight hundred strong?
In other words Daz had it goin' on
I bought myself a bucket, that's right a bucket, bitch
Who you fuckin', my car or my dick?
My lifestyle switched a bit but my attitude didn't
I told all my old bitches good riddance
'Cause when you got money, hoes come automatically
And no hoes don't do nothin' but cause some static see
I went from khakis to Guess, braids to a fade
I'm not Special Ed but I had it made
Livin' the life of a baller, care free
Have bitches dyin' to sleep wit me ya see
But I went bankrupt from all the spendin' and gamblin'
Business was gettin' slow and I wasn't handlin'
Mine the way that I was supposed to
Now I'm broke and on a jack mission so don't get close to
The D-P-G gang 'cause we scandalous when we broke
We get the Doggs in us then we get to actin' like locs
(I've been dreamin' too long, too long, too long)

If you don't wanna drop be still
Damn, I can't believe this
But you can best believe this
Today, I'm on another mission to get paid
Serve what I can serve right (right)
So my pockets will stack up
Nigga, don't trip, nigga, back up (hold up)
I gots to react off the first impulse I find
But my mama thinks I should take my time and work for mines
But how much work would it take?
And how much money would I make? Wait
There's somethin' that I gotta think about
But I ain't got that much time
Moms want a nigga out the house
I ain't gettin' no younger, I'm only gettin' older
I'm only thinkin' 'bout what my mama told me
Now I'm a Dogg Pound gangsta for life

I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
Workin' at luggage
Am Gepäck arbeiten
Tryna get paid the right way
Versuch' Geld auf anständige Weise zu verdienen
But somehow the right way don't pay
Aber irgendwie zahlt sich die anständige Weise nicht aus
I'm comin' home late every night
Ich komme jede Nacht spät nachhause
Gotta struggle and fight
Muss mich anstrengen und kämpfen
With the baseheads on the late night high
Mit den Crack-Süchtigen im nächtlichen Rausch
Tryna creep in the house
Versuch' ins Haus zu kriechen
Through the cut for what?
Durch den Kiez, wozu?
So I won't be seen by none of the homies
Damit mich keiner von den Homies sieht
But the homie Nate Dogg spots me
Aber der Homie Nate Dogg sieht mich
And say, "Yo, what's happenin'?
Und sagt: „Yo, was ist los?
Oh, you don't know me no more?
Oh, du kennst mich nicht mehr?
And passed me the satin"
Und reicht mir den Gin
I said, "Ah, nah, it ain't like that G
Ich sagte: „Ah, nein, so ist es nicht, G
I'm tryna go straight and have a J-O-B "
Ich versuche den richtigen Weg zu gehen und meinen J-O-B zu behalten"
"You need to quit that faggot ass job," that's what he said
„Du musst diesen verfickten Schwuchtel-Job kündigen“ das hat er gesagt
Showed me his grip and took some satin to the head
Zeigte mir sein Geld und nahm ein bisschen Gin zu sich
Damn, that nigga had at least two G's
Verdammt, der Nigga hatte mindestens zwei Tausender
And he was clockin' it wit so much ease
Und er hat's so einfach verdient
I told him I was gone so I'm headed in the house
Ich sagte ihm, ich sei weg, also bin ich auf dem Weg nach Hause
Everybody knocked out
Alle waren am Pennen
So I'm locked out
Also bin ich ausgesperrt
I go back to the front where my homies is hangin' at
Ich gehe zurück nach vorne, wo meine Kumpels rumhängen
They offer me a cavi sack so I can start slangin' dat
Sie bieten mir einen Sack mit Crack an, damit ich's verticke
They say, "You ain't a hustler"
Sie sagen: „Du bist kein Hustler"
I say, "Don't doubt it"
Ich sage: „Das bezweifle ich nicht“
Hold that thought and I'll think about it
Halt den Gedanken fest und ich denke darüber nach
(I've been dreamin' too long, too long, too long)
(Ich träume schon zu lange, zu lange, zu lange)
Because
Denn
I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
Ich mag es nicht darüber zu träumen bezahlt zu werden
(I've been dreamin' too long, too long, too long)
(Ich träume schon zu lange, zu lange, zu lange)
I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
Ich mag es nicht darüber zu träumen bezahlt zu werden

Ich mag es nicht darüber zu träumen bezahlt zu werden
(I've been dreamin' too long)
(Ich träume schon zu lange)
The thought's complete so let me take a seat
Der Gedanke ist vollständig, lasst mich Platz nehmen
Since I was born and raised on the streets
Seid meiner Geburt, bin ich auf den Straßen aufgewachsen
I quit the job I had and cop myself a sack
Ich hab' den Job gekündigt, denn ich legte mir den Sack mit Koks zu
Went from a double of fifty into a c-note stack
Von zwei Fünfzigern zu 'n paar Hunderter Stapel
Within a week, but my peak wasn't reached
Nur eine Woche, aber habe den Spitzenwert noch nicht erreicht
I was gettin' too known on the north side of Long Beach
Ich wurde zu sehr bekannt an der nördlichen Seite von Long Beach
Niggas got to trippin' and I thought I heard it
Niggas drehen durch und ich dachte ich hab' es gehört
So I went to the hood on 20th and Myrtle
Somit ging ich in die Hood auf der 20th und Myrtle Straße
I came up quick with some homies dat I knew from way way back
Ich kam schnell mit ein paar Homies von früher
And bid my sack
Und biete meinen Drogen-Sack an
Or maybe it was seven or was it eight hundred strong?
Oder vielleicht war es im Wert von sieben oder achthundert?
In other words Daz had it goin' on
Mit anderen Worten, Daz hatte es drauf
I bought myself a bucket, that's right a bucket, bitch
Ich habe mir eine Schrottkarre gekauft, genau, ein Schrottkarre, Bitch
Who you fuckin', my car or my dick?
Wen fickst du, mein Auto oder meinen Schwanz?
My lifestyle switched a bit but my attitude didn't
Mein Lebensstil änderte sich, aber meine Einstellung nicht
I told all my old bitches good riddance
Ich sagte zu all meinen alten Bitches: „Auf Nimmerwiedersehen“
'Cause when you got money, hoes come automatically
Denn wenn du Geld hast, kommen die Nutten automatisch
And no hoes don't do nothin' but cause some static see
Und Nutten bringen nichts, außer Stress
I went from khakis to Guess, braids to a fade
Früher Khakis jetzt Guess, von Zöpfen zum Fade
I'm not Special Ed but I had it made
Ich bin nicht Special Ed, aber ich hab' es geschafft
Livin' the life of a baller, care free
Lebe das Leben eines Ballers, ohne Sorgen
Have bitches dyin' to sleep wit me ya see
Die Schlampen wollen unbedingt mit mir schlafen, ihr seht es
But I went bankrupt from all the spendin' and gamblin'
Aber ich ging bankrott, weil ich so viel Geld ausgab und verzockte
Business was gettin' slow and I wasn't handlin'
Das Geschäft lief schleppend, und ich war nicht in der Lage
Mine the way that I was supposed to
Es so zu steuern, wie's eigentlich sein sollte
Now I'm broke and on a jack mission so don't get close to
Jetzt bin ich pleite und auf einer Mission, also komm nicht in die Nähe
The D-P-G gang 'cause we scandalous when we broke
Der D-P-G-Gang, denn wir sind skandalös, wenn wir pleite sind
We get the Doggs in us then we get to actin' like locs
Wir haben die Doggs in uns, dann benehmen wir uns wie Locs
(I've been dreamin' too long, too long, too long)

Last night I had a dream
Letzte Nacht hatte ich einen Traum
Felt so good it had to be
Fühlte mich so gut, als wäre es echt
Me and my homies were gettin' paid
Ich und meine Kumpels haben Kohle gemacht
Man, oh, man, we had it made
Mann, oh, Mann, wir hatten es geschafft
Some homies wanna roll with me
Ein paar Kumpels wollen mit mir abhängen
Some homies claim insanity
Ein paar Homies behaupten, sie seien verrückt
Well if you wanna set trip I will
Wenn du einen Rivalen töten willst, mach' ich es
If you don't wanna drop be still
Wenn du nicht tot sein willst, dann sei still
Damn, I can't believe this
Verdammt, ich kann es nicht glauben
But you can best believe this
Aber du kannst mir glauben
Today, I'm on another mission to get paid
Heute habe ich einen anderen Auftrag, um Kohle zu machen
Serve what I can serve right (right)
Verticke, was ich richtig machen kann (richtig)
So my pockets will stack up
Damit meine Taschen voll sind
Nigga, don't trip, nigga, back up (hold up)
Nigga, dreh nicht durch, Nigga, zur Seite (bleib stehen)
I gots to react off the first impulse I find
Ich muss auf den ersten Impuls reagieren, den ich finde
But my mama thinks I should take my time and work for mines
Aber meine Mama meint, ich sollte mir Zeit nehmen und für mich arbeiten
But how much work would it take?
Aber wie viel Arbeit ist das?
And how much money would I make? Wait
Und wie viel Geld würde ich verdienen? Warte
There's somethin' that I gotta think about
Das ist etwas, worüber ich nachdenken muss
But I ain't got that much time
Aber ich habe nicht so viel Zeit
Moms want a nigga out the house
Mütter wollen, dass ein Nigga das Haus verlässt
I ain't gettin' no younger, I'm only gettin' older
Ich werde nicht jünger, ich werde nur älter
I'm only thinkin' 'bout what my mama told me
Ich denke nur daran, was meine Mama mir gesagt hat
Now I'm a Dogg Pound gangsta for life
Jetzt bin ich ein Dogg Pound-Gangsta für's Leben
And the fact that I'm out to get paid twice
Und die Tatsache, dass ich unterwegs bin, um zweimal bezahlt zu werden
I ain't nothin' nice
Ist nicht gut
Down to slang or pull a heist
Drogen verticken oder einen Raubüberfall machen
Jack or break motherfuckas on the dice, that's real
Abzocken oder dem Wichser das Geld beim Zocken nehmen
Now what should I do just chill
Was soll ich jetzt tun, nur chillen
When it's time to peel caps and adapt to kill?
Wann ist es Zeit, Kopfschüsse zu geben und sich ans Töten zu gewöhnen?
Unconcealed, unconcealed
Unverhüllt, unverhüllt
So I've maintained for the salary
So habe ich für den Gehalt gesorgt
And my mentally is raw from the door
Und meine Psyche ist knallhart, ohne Scheiß
I go hard from the door
Ich bin hart am Start
Up against all odds
Trotz aller Widerstände
Always down to squab Dogg, Pound for life
Immer bereit zu kämpfen, Dogg Pound für's Leben
I survive 'til '95

Workin' at luggage
Trabalhando com bagagens
Tryna get paid the right way
Tentando ser pago do jeito certo
But somehow the right way don't pay
Mas de alguma forma o jeito certo não paga
I'm comin' home late every night
Estou chegando em casa tarde todas as noites
Gotta struggle and fight
Tenho que lutar e brigar
With the baseheads on the late night high
Com os viciados na alta da noite
Tryna creep in the house
Tentando entrar em casa sorrateiramente
Through the cut for what?
Pelo corte, para quê?
So I won't be seen by none of the homies
Para não ser visto por nenhum dos amigos
But the homie Nate Dogg spots me
Mas o amigo Nate Dogg me vê
And say, "Yo, what's happenin'?
E diz, "Ei, o que está acontecendo?
Oh, you don't know me no more?
Ah, você não me conhece mais?
And passed me the satin"
E me passou o cetim"
I said, "Ah, nah, it ain't like that G
Eu disse, "Ah, não, não é assim, G
I'm tryna go straight and have a J-O-B "
Estou tentando andar na linha e ter um emprego"
"You need to quit that faggot ass job," that's what he said
"Você precisa largar esse emprego de merda", foi o que ele disse
Showed me his grip and took some satin to the head
Mostrou-me seu dinheiro e levou algum cetim à cabeça
Damn, that nigga had at least two G's
Caramba, aquele cara tinha pelo menos dois mil
And he was clockin' it wit so much ease
E ele estava ganhando isso com tanta facilidade
I told him I was gone so I'm headed in the house
Eu disse a ele que estava indo, então estou entrando em casa
Everybody knocked out
Todo mundo apagado
So I'm locked out
Então estou trancado para fora
I go back to the front where my homies is hangin' at
Volto para a frente onde meus amigos estão
They offer me a cavi sack so I can start slangin' dat
Eles me oferecem um saco de cavi para eu começar a vender
They say, "You ain't a hustler"
Eles dizem, "Você não é um traficante"
I say, "Don't doubt it"
Eu digo, "Não duvide"
Hold that thought and I'll think about it
Guarde esse pensamento e eu vou pensar sobre isso
(I've been dreamin' too long, too long, too long)
(Eu estive sonhando por muito tempo, muito tempo, muito tempo)
Because

Larguei o emprego que tinha e comprei um saco para mim
Went from a double of fifty into a c-note stack
Fui de um duplo de cinquenta para uma pilha de cem
Within a week, but my peak wasn't reached
Dentro de uma semana, mas meu pico não foi alcançado
I was gettin' too known on the north side of Long Beach
Eu estava ficando muito conhecido no lado norte de Long Beach
Niggas got to trippin' and I thought I heard it
Os caras começaram a triplicar e eu pensei que ouvi
So I went to the hood on 20th and Myrtle
Então fui para o bairro na 20th e Myrtle
I came up quick with some homies dat I knew from way way back
Subi rápido com alguns amigos que eu conhecia de muito tempo atrás
And bid my sack
E ofereci meu saco
Or maybe it was seven or was it eight hundred strong?
Ou talvez fossem sete ou oitocentos fortes?
In other words Daz had it goin' on
Em outras palavras, Daz estava indo bem

Comprei um carro velho, isso mesmo, um carro velho, vadia

Meu estilo de vida mudou um pouco, mas minha atitude não

Eu disse a todas as minhas ex-namoradas, boa riddance
'Cause when you got money, hoes come automatically
Porque quando você tem dinheiro, as vadias vêm automaticamente
And no hoes don't do nothin' but cause some static see

I went from khakis to Guess, braids to a fade
Fui de calças cáqui para Guess, tranças para um corte

Have bitches dyin' to sleep wit me ya see

But I went bankrupt from all the spendin' and gamblin'
Mas fui à falência por todo o gasto e jogo
Business was gettin' slow and I wasn't handlin'
Os negócios estavam ficando lentos e eu não estava lidando
Mine the way that I was supposed to
Com o meu do jeito que eu deveria
Now I'm broke and on a jack mission so don't get close to
Agora estou quebrado e em uma missão de roubo, então não chegue perto
The D-P-G gang 'cause we scandalous when we broke
Da gangue D-P-G porque somos escandalosos quando estamos quebrados
