First Jill Scott, now Tyler Perry is being served some papers. The multi-talented director has been sued by a songwriter for the unauthorized use of lyrics from a song.

According to TMZ.com, songwriter Johnny Tyrone Stringfield claims the lyrics from his song, “I Got Away,” a song which he copyrighted back in 2008, were used on an episode of Perry’s sitcom “Meet The Browns.” In a 2009 episode of the show, several characters sang the words, “The Devil thought he had me … but I got away.” Stringfield claims he never received compensation for the use of teh lyrics. He’s asking for more than $100,000 now.

Let me see. That’s 10 words at $10,000 a word. Shieeeeeet! How much would the whole song cost?
