(album: E. 1999 Eternal - 1995)

[Birds singing, snoring, rooster crowing, and an alarm clock]

[Layzie & Bizzy:]
Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up
Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up

Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up
Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up

[Krayzie:]
Hey my nigga we having a wonderful day and I won't fight with my wife
'Cause it's the 1st of the month and now we smoking, choking, rolling blunts
And sipping on 40 ounces thugging come come we got the blessed rum
From jumping all nights we high
Hit up the block to where? East 99
I get with my nigga to get me some yayo
Double up nigga what you need?
We got weed to get P.O.ded
Fiend for the green leaves
Double up for the first for sure better lay low
Cause the po-po creep when they roll slow
Wait if you can't get away better toss that yayo
Keep your bankroll
Yeah we having a celebration, I love to stay high
And you better believe when it's time to grind
I'm down for mine crime after crime
Fin to creep to the pad cause mom's got grub on the grill
If we got the 4-0, you know it's the 1st of the month
And my nigga we chills foe real

Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up
Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up

Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up
Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up

[Bizzy:]
Wake up and I see that my sister is already dressed
She said "I'm gonna run and go get my stamps
Watch and make sure no one snatches my check" nigga that's the mailman
Sort through the mail and put it up in-a me pocket
So I be hitting the 99 to get me a dub
Foe forty bucks but ain't nobody ride that RITA
Hop on the 10 to the click
Ready to get 'em up with-a me thugs
And to cash that dum
I gotta get paid play player holla holla
Saint Claire got much to offer
Whether it be weed on 93
Or off on the Glock Glock for some dollars, so
Get a bag of dope and a quarter roll, oh
Most all of my niggas got the same, and we gonna roll it all up to smoke
Hitting that reefer hydro, you know the cut, so fuck them po-po
Toss all that yayo, and we're gonna say no
Running through the alley and into the mêlée
Up on the second the sundown
Those run from January, November, December I'm loving the 1st of the month

Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up
Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up

Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up
Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up

[Wish:]
It's the 1st of the month
Gotta grind gotta get mine
In the hood that I claim
I slang on that double 9-9
Gotta find them dubs
Gonna get a forty, can a thug get love?
What's up?
Try to stand on my corner
Nigga you's a gonner Saint Claire niggas don't like that
And selling them dummies making that money come back nigga get pap pap
From the 1st to the 15th niggas smoke plenty weed
But I gotta save gotta come up
Put my rocks on the cut
Wanna get high? Nigga blaze that blunt, huh
Time to roll to the pad
Count up my profits and add it to the stash
Gotta watch my back see for niggas that's trying to rob me, fool
But never no shorts no losses
Dumping keeping these niggas up off me see
Gotta search the whole block
Spend a couple of bills
Thugs smoke a lot of weed on the 1st

Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up
Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up

[Layzie (Krayzie):]
Waking up feeling buzzed off up early morning stretching
I'm yawning lightweight bent chugga lugga take a fifth to the dome
Instead I kick it with my trues
But it's the 1st so I'm getting me hustle on
Hop on the phone, calling up Krayzie Bone
Wanna know did your O.G check come? (She put me down)
I'm a hop on the bus with Biz (Yo Brother let's get drunk)
And I'm coming with blunt after blunt
Of this skunk
Nigga T just put me down
Oh God how I love when the 1st come around
Now I be fucking me Black and Mild, headed cross town
'Cause niggas the 1st to get celebrated
Rushing to the block cause I wanna get faded
Looking all wild cause I'm needing me hair braided
We heavy off into this game
True to the 1st just call me that pro slang
Them nickels and dimes and 20's and 50's
The 1st be the day for the dopeman
Slanging that cocaine fool, and I'm working late tonight
And all them fiends be loving them thugs
'Cause I got them rocks for them pipes
Come come with a ease
I gotta get paid on the 1st, gotta blaze up my spliff
Get live with the Bone Thugs, Poetic Hustlers in the graveyard shift
On the 1st

[Repeat 'til the end of the song:]
Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up
