Words and Music by JAMES BROWN



hey! Gotta gotta pay back!! (The big payback)

Revenge!! I'm mad (the big payback)

Got to get back! Need some get back!! Pay Back! (the big payback)

That's it!! Payback!!! Revenge!!!

I'm mad!!



Get down with my girlfriend, That ain't right!!

Hollarin' cussin', you wanna fight

Payback is a thing you gotta see

Brother do any damn thing to me



Sold me out, for chump change (yes you did!!)

Told me that they, they had it all arranged

You handed me down, and thats a fact

Now you're pumped, You gotta get ready For the big payback!! (the big

payback!!)

That's where I am, the big payback (the big payback!!)



I can do wheelin', I can do dealin' (yes you can!!) But I don't do no damn

squealin'

I can dig rappin', I'm ready!! I can dig scrappin'

But I can't dig that backstabbin' (Oh No!!)



The brother get ready!! Thats a fact!!

Get ready you Mother, for the big payback (The big Payback!!)

Let me hit 'em hit'em!! Hey Hey!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!



Took my money, you got my honey

Don't want me to see what you doing to me

I got to get back I gotta deal with you!! (4xs) Hey let me tell ya!!

Get down with my woman, that ain't right! You hollarin' and cussin', you wanna

fight!!

Don't do me no darn favor,

I don't know karate, but I know KA-RAZY!!!! (yes we do!!)



Get ready thats a fact, Get ready you Mother for the big payback (the big

payback!)

Hey!! I'm a man! I'm a man! I'm a son of a man, but don't they tell ya then

hop again

Get ready for the big payback (the big payback!!) Hit 'em again!!

Get ready I need it, I need a hit again!! Say it once (3xs) Hit 'em

again!!

(the big payback!!) Sold me out for chump change

Said my woman had it all arranged

Tryin' to make a deal, she wants to squeal But I had my boys on her heals

Saw me comin', told a lie Went down like you wanted to cry

I don't care what she does, she'll be doin' just like she was

Take your kids and raise them up, Somebody think I have a right to be tough

Take her, take that woman, it's one place she found

Just run that mother out of town!!

Got to get up!! Got to get up, get out!! (2xs)

I'm mad!! I want revenge, I want revenge (the big payback!!) I want revenge

(3xs)

(the big payback!!) Give me those hits!! I want some hits!! I need those

hits, hit me!!
