Take the Money and Run Lyrics

Artist: Run-D.M.C.
Album: Crown Royal

Let me tell you 'bout Butter Love and Gina
Lovers like no others, couldn't get in between 'em
Always stayed fly, man I wished that you'd seen 'em
Said they had a scheme, but nobody believed 'em
No real job cause they stay in the street
Gina did nails, Butter Love made beats
When they want to eat, they just walked in the store
They took what they wanted, man they the illest you saw
So 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 want to 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 grabbin' stuff by the pair
Gina had the door 'cause she good with the gun
They both grabbed the money and run

Come on take the money and run (run)
Come on take the money and run, hey hey hey
Come on take the money and run (run)
Come on take the money and run, hey hey hey

Spudy was a rookie that was new on the scene
Used to be a thug, now he's doing it clean
Ironic he was copping then they gave him the spot
Knew Butter back from Hollis - used to chill in the park
Seen Butter 'round the way with a brand new Benz
Gina looking pretty in the city with friends
Spudy said, "Yo, I gotta get these ends,
And these are the two I gotta apprehend"
A B-Boy from Hollis promised not to tell
And lead these cops on a long, long trail
Spudy saw Gina and the chick turned pale
Runnin' saying something like she don't got bail
Butter said "Promise me I won't see jail"
Spudy want a watch and a brand new cell
Butter and Gina moved to Pensacola
Spudy got a Rollie and a Motorola

Come on take the money and run (run)
Come on take the money and run, hey hey hey
Come on take the money and run, that's what I'll 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
Jack B. Nimble was nimble and he was quick
Rev Run-DMC is the kings of rock
Rolled to the top and then we never did drop
You still hear this jammie in 2001
And me and D will take the money and run

Come on take the money and run (run)
Come on take the money and run, hey hey hey
Come on take the money and run, that's what I say
Come on take the money and run, hey hey hey
Come on take the money and run, that's what I say
Come on take the money and run, yeah yeah yeah
Come on take the money and run, (run) uh-huh
Come on take the money and run, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
That's what I say
