PAID MY DUES

歌詞

Clicks, clicks, clicks, they'll do anything to get a few Tick, tick, tick, that's the sound before my head explodes Quit, quit, quit, look at you up on your pedestals Quick, quick, quick, here the critics come, it's time to go I read your article, it kinda hurt me I don't know who hired you Or what your friends say in your circle But the fact that you released it Tells me two things are for certain They get paid for trashing people I get paid 'cause I stay working Drop 'The Search' and They emerge up outta nowhere To the surface, just to peep behind the curtain Throwing salt at all my burdens I'm aware I shouldn't give this my attention Life's a journey, I should just stay on my path And learn to laugh, you think they heard me? Ears are burning, put em out Quiet, quiet, look around Why don't they find someone way more Interesting to write about? Us, we're kinda boring, aren't we? All we do is whine and pout It's confusing, so amusing How I argue with myself Hello I spit it with ease so leave it to me You doubt it, but you better believe I'm on a rampage, hit 'em, with the record release Depending the week, I'm probably gonna have to achieve Another goal, let me go when I'm over the beat I go into beast mode like I'm ready to feast I'm fed up with these thieves tryna get me to bleed They wanna see me take an L, yep, see what I mean? How many records I gotta give you to get with the program? Take it for granted, I'm 'bout to give you the whole plan Open your mind up but take a look at the blueprint Debate if you gotta, but gotta hold it with both hands Pick at the bars, you gotta be smart You really gotta dig in your heart If you wanna get to the root of an issue Pursuin' the mental can be dark and be difficult But the pay off at the end of it can help you to get through it, ay Paid my dues, made it through (woo woo woo) Spread the news, I'm on the loose (woo woo woo) Making moves, I need some room (woo woo woo) Thought we's cool, well, don't assume, don't assume, ay I'm the truth, oh, they want some proof Here, don't be rude, something new Even when I lose, I make it look cool Do the show, then we hit the room Wife is looking, oh What to do? I don't need the shades up to like the view It's time to get back in the swing of things When my life crashes, I'm not the guy that'll flee the scene I'll take ownership and own it and raise my hand if it's me Just remember though, I'm only a man, I'm a human being Don't they see, shoot the breeze, I'd rather just stay discrete People claim they're in your corner but leave you in times of need They don't listen, do they? (What?) They don't listen to anything I'll accept advice if it's not presented ignorantly Look, costs are high, they multiply Then cause divides, I'm forced to fight The poison I've been sipping on has quite the bite It killed me twice, they rigged the lights So y'all could see the parts of mine that aren't too bright See, often I apologize and authorize the awful times That pop up (Nate) like I'm right behind you I'd advise you not to try to climb inside the mind like I do Keep the rhyme book, expedite it, over-night it Hold it tight and hope the time is on my side 'Cause if it's not then I'll decide to override my own demise I tow the line too close and I can improvise and empathize But recognize the fact that I could jeopardize and wreck our lives You better give me your attention, the undivided Paid my dues, made it through (woo woo woo) Spread the news, I'm on the loose (woo woo woo) Making moves, I need some room (woo woo woo) Thought we's cool, well, don't assume, don't assume, ay Paid my dues, made it through (woo woo woo) Spread the news, I'm on the loose (woo woo woo) Making moves, I need some room (woo woo woo) Thought we's cool, well, don't assume, don't assume, ay
