NF - Paid my dues | Tekst piosenki | Song lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 kind of 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 trashin' people, I get paid 'cause I stay workin'

Drop The Search and they emerge up

Out of nowhere to the surface

Just to peek behind the curtain

Throwin' 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)

[Verse 2]

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

Dependin' the week, I'm prolly 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? Yup, see what I mean?

How many records I gotta give you to get with the program?

Taken for granted, I'm 'bout to 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 pay off at the end of it can help you to get through it, hey

[Chorus]

Paid my dues, made it through

Whoo, whoo, whoo

Spread the news, I'm on the loose

Whoo, whoo, whoo

Makin' moves, I need some room

Whoo, whoo, whoo

Thought we's cool

Well, don't assume, don't assume, hey

[Verse 3]

I'm the truth

Oh, they want some proof? Here, don't be rude, somethin' new

Even when I lose I make it look cool

Do the show, then we hit the room

Wife is lookin', 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 will 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 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 then authorize the awful times to 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, overnight it

Hold it tight and hope that 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 could improvise

I'd empathize but recognize the fact that I could jeopardize and wreck our lives

You better give me your attention, the undivided

[Chorus]

Paid my dues, made it through

Whoo, whoo, whoo

Spread the news, I'm on the loose

Whoo, whoo, whoo

Makin' moves, I need some room

Whoo, whoo, whoo

Thought we's cool

Well, don't assume, don't assume, hey

Paid my dues, made it through

Whoo, whoo, whoo

Spread the news, I'm on the loose

Whoo, whoo, whoo

Makin' moves, I need some room

Whoo, whoo, whoo

Thought we's cool

Well, don't assume, don't assume, hey
