 You get down with my girlfriend, that ain't right

You hollering and cussing, you want to fight

Payback is a thing you gotta see

Hell, brother, do any damn thing to me

You sold me out for chicken change (Yes you did)

You told me that they, they had it all arranged

You had me down, and that's a fact

And now you punk, you gotta get ready

For the big payback

(The big payback)

That's where I land, on the big payback

(The big payback)

I can do wheeling, I can do dealing

(Yes we can)

But I don't do no damn squealing

I can dig rapping

I'm ready, I can dig scrapping

But I can't dig that backstabbing (Oh no)

Now brother get ready, that's a fact

Get ready you mother for the big payback

Get down with my woman, that ain't right

Hit me back, 

...lord  (The big payback)

Sold me out for chicken change

Said my woman had it all arranged

Tried to make a deal, but she wanted to squeal

But I had my boys on her heels

Saw me coming, told a lie

She broke down and she wanted to cry

I don't care what she does

Won't be doing just like she was

Take those kids and raise them up

Show 'em how to drink out the righteous cup

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

Just run that mother out of town

Make her get up, make her get up, get out

Make her get up, make her get up, get out

I'm mad, I want revenge, I want revenge, my

(The big payback)

My patience ends, I want revenge

My patience ends, I want revenge

I want revenge, I want revenge

(The big payback)

Gonna get some hits, I need those hits

The Payback è un brano scritto e interpretato da James Brown, contenuto nell'album omonimo pubblicato nel 1973. L'artista del Sud Carolina aveva realizzato questo disco per essere la colonna sonora del film "Tommy Gibbs criminale per giustizia" ma il progetto naufragò perché ritenuto troppo poco funky! La canzone è il brano d'apertura dell'album ed è scritta insieme a Fred Wesley e Charles Bobbit; un pezzo che ha fatto la storia della musica Funk, un vero e proprio caposaldo!
