This is from a series of releases that Paul made under the pseudonym "User 964848511" in 2017. This was was posted on July 15, 2017.
The Maharaja’s Entourage is in caps because it is the name of a famous painting by Felix Michał Wygrzywalski (Polish, 1875–1944).
Maybe Paul was at a museum around the time, and liked the sound of it rolling off the tongue.
Also, the part about the Japanese lawsuit seems like a reference to his download release "49:00 of Your Life" in July 2008 when he received cease and desist letters.
Westerberg confirmed this, saying, "Ten publishers came after us immediately 'cause I used all these snippets of songs that I recorded. It was either pay up or pull the thing."
In August 2008, he released 5:05 saying, "If you want to sue me, can’t see through me. Want a lawsuit? I brought a swimsuit”
He then posted 49:00 to Soundcloud in 2014 saying, "I tried to release this in 2008 and had a lot of problems. That being said I hope you enjoy it."
Now here are the lyrics to Got It Made.
Got It Made
Aye Aye Aye
We made, we spent, we got a sellout a ?thing?
We live, we take, there ain’t nothing that we hate
The Maharaja’s Entourage got us sailing on the Raj
Got it made, never meditate on getting paid
Got it made, never meditate on getting paid
Got the beat, they got a hit on Easy Street
Never make it last, til you know what is cast
Got it made, never meditate on getting paid
Got it made, never meditate on getting paid
Left on my stoop by a guy named Joe
Found a Japanese lawsuit ?retiree oh?
With what they make now, you only need my finger to ?pay/play?
You got it made
Aye Aye Aye
The Maharaja’s Entourage got us sailing on the Raj
Got it made, never meditate on getting paid
Got it made, never meditate on getting paid
