The Boss Lyrics

One, Two, Get Down!

Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
I paid the cost to be the boss

Look at me
Know what you see,
You see a bad mutha
Look at me
Know what you see,
You see a bad mutha

Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
I paid the cost to be the boss

Look at me
Know what you see,
You see a bad mutha
Look at me
Know what you see,
You see a bad mutha

Heh!
Heh!
Told you so!
Told you so!

Havin fun, got money to burn
Havin fun, got money to boot

Havin fun, got money to burn
Havin fun, got money to boot

Cause I paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss

Caught, Tracked
Turned my back uhh!

Caught, Tracked
Turned my back uhh!

Paid the cost to be the boss

Im a bad mutha

Uh!

Im a bad mutha

Head for the turn around
Head for the turn around

Told you so!
