#PAID MY DUES - NF
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Tick, tick, tick, that's that sound before my head explodes
Quit, quit, quit, look at you up on your pedestals
Quick, quick, quick, here the critics come, its time to go
I read your article it kinda hurt me
I dont 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 trashin’ people, i get paid ‘cause i stay working
Drop "The Search" and they emerge up outta nowhere to the surface
just the people behind the curtains throwing salt to all my burdens
I'm aware that I shouldn't give this my attention, lifes 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 dont 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
I doubt it but leave it to me
I’m on a rampage, hit ‘em with the record release
Dependin' the week, I prolly gonna have to achieve another goal
Let me go when I'm over the beat
I go into beast mode like im ready to feast
I fed up with these thieves what are tryina to get me to bleed
They wanna see me take an L
Yep, see what I mean?
How many record I gotta give you to get with the program?
Take it for granted, I'm boutta give you the whole plan
Open your mind up and take a look at the blueprint
Debate if you gotta, but gotta hold it with both hands
To pick up 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 payoff at the end of it, can help you to get through it, hey
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 hey
I'm the truth, oh they want some proof
here, dont be rude
Something new
Even when I lose I make it look cool
Do the show then we hit the room
Wife is looking ooh
what to do? I dont 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 to flee the scene
I'll take ownership, and own it
And raise my hand if it's me
Just remember tho im only a man, im a human being
Don't they see? Shoot the breeze? I'd rather just stay discreet
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 been sippin' on has quite the bite
It killed me twice, they rigged the lights
So y'all can see the parts of mine that aren't so bright
see often I apologize and authorize the awful times
To pop up (NATE)
