Take the Money and Run

Let me tell you about Butter Love and Gina
Lovers like no other, couldn't get in between 'em
Always stayed fly, man, I wish that you'd seen 'em
Said they had a scheme, but nobody believed 'em
No real jobs 'cause they stayed in the streets
Gina did nails, Butter Love made beats

When they wanna eat, they just walked in the store
They took what they wanted, man, the illest you saw
'Til one day they went uptown and seen 'em with ice
Butter liked the chains and Gina said, "The rings are nice"
Next thing you know, they wanna pull off a heist
Shook took a look and shot the jeweler twice
Diamonds all shining as they flew in the air
Butter acting rough and grabbing stuff out of pairs
Gina at the door 'cause she good with the gun
They both grabbed the money and run

Come on, take the money and run (Run, r-r-r-run)
Come on, take the money and run, hey, hey, hey
Come on, take the money and run (Run, r-r-r-run)
Come on, take the money and run, hey, hey, hey

Spoonie was a rookie that was new on the scene
Used to be a thug, now he's doing it clean
Ironic, he was coppin' and they gave him the spot
Knew Butter back when Hollis used to chill on the block
He word around the way with a brand new Benz
Gina looking pretty in the city with friends
Spoonie said, "Yo, I gotta get these ends
And these are the two I gotta have to hand"
A big boy from Hollis promised not to tell
And lead these cops on a long, wrong trail

Spoonie saw Gina and the chick turned pale

Runners saying something like, "You don't got bail"
Butter said, "Promise me I won't see jail"

Spoonie want a watch and a brand new cell

Butter and Gina moved to Pensacola
Spoonie got a Rollie and a Motorola

Come on, take the money and run (Run, r-r-r-run)
Come on, take the money and run, hey, hey, hey
Come on, take the money and run (Run, r-r-r-run)
That's what I say
Come on, take the money and run, yeah, yeah, yeah

All I can say is about the story
Is living like Butter Love is not for me
Let me show you how we get the money legit
Jammy Nimble was nimble and he was quick
Run-Run DMC is the kings of rock
Rose to the top and then we never did drop
You still hear this Jammy in 2001
And me and D take the money and run

Come on, take the money and run (Run, r-r-r-run)
Come on, take the money and run, hey, hey, hey
Come on, take the money and run (Run, r-r-r-run)
That's what I say
Come on, take the money and run, hey, hey, hey
Come on, take the money and run (Run, r-r-r-run)
That's what I say
Come on, take the money and run, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on, take the money and run (Run, r-r-r-run)
Come on, take the money and run, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
Run, run
Run, run
