《Paid Dues》歌词

[00:00:01] Yeah!

[00:00:03] It took a long time

[00:00:06] To get to it

[00:00:07] To a good spot

[00:00:10] But I weren't where I need to be

[00:00:12] Chorus

[00:00:12] 10 whole years

[00:00:14] Finally breaking through

[00:00:16] Nobody gets a handout

[00:00:18] You've gotta pay your dues

[00:00:19] 10 whole years

[00:00:21] Finally breaking through

[00:00:22] Nobody gets a handout

[00:00:24] You've gotta pay your dues

[00:00:26] 10 whole years

[00:00:27] Finally breaking through

[00:00:29] Nobody gets a handout

[00:00:30] You've gotta pay your dues

[00:00:32] 10 whole years

[00:00:34] Finally breaking through

[00:00:35] Nobody gets a handout

[00:00:37] You've gotta pay your dues

[00:00:38] Verse 1

[00:00:38] Ever since I wrote it, trying to get up on it, can't touch this with a ten foot pole

[00:00:41] To all my opponents, people have voted, next one up this elections closed

[00:00:45] I'm so bold, this I know, I don't need jewelry to prove that I'm cold

[00:00:48] Ya'll just go wherever the wind blows

[00:00:50] Talking 'bout each other so we never leave the door

[00:00:51] That's okay, it's alright now, I back here to shine a different light now

[00:00:54] Ya'll stay clear cause this one's bright now, it's my year, I can hear that hype now

[00:00:58] I never did understand it, why another hater when we so demanded

[00:01:02] Thinking I don't see 'em but I catch 'em candid

[00:01:03] Thinking they rough but they just got sanded

[00:01:05] Ya'll kept on pushing, and pulling me now I'm fed up

[00:01:08] Not one for groupies but this competitions got her leg up

[00:01:11] And now it's my time to shine, I'm passing my rhymes while you passing time

[00:01:14] I don't really care that I'm last in line, 'cause the last shall be first and I'm first to be live

[00:01:18] I might be small but I'll crawl and pull my weight

[00:01:20] You can see me how you see me until your pupils dilate

[00:01:24] There ain't no faking it, 10 years 'till I started making it

[00:01:27] Say money don't grow on trees but if it did I'd be there shaking it

[00:01:30] Chorus

[00:01:31] 10 whole years

[00:01:32] Finally breaking through

[00:01:34] Nobody gets a handout

[00:01:35] You've gotta pay your dues

[00:01:37] 10 whole years

[00:01:39] Finally breaking through

[00:01:40] Nobody gets a handout

[00:01:42] You've gotta pay your dues

[00:01:43] 10 whole years

[00:01:45] Finally breaking through

[00:01:47] Nobody gets a handout

[00:01:48] You've gotta pay your dues

[00:01:50] 10 whole years

[00:01:51] Finally breaking through

[00:01:53] Nobody gets a handout

[00:01:55] You've gotta pay your dues

[00:01:56] Verse 2

[00:01:57] It took me a minute but I

[00:01:58] Came back on the track, they love my

[00:02:00] Quick style, but I can't sleep now, ticking even quicker

[00:02:02] To the max, no shut eye

[00:02:04] Now it's time to spread like butter

[00:02:05] You can say you hate it, but there ain't no other

[00:02:06] Who's laughing now that I shut it all down

[00:02:08] I was born to do it you can blame my mother

[00:02:10] Now can't you see, they hate but it's jealousy

[00:02:12] I was writing raps just like them, when I was 16

[00:02:16] 16 ya'll... no need for me to prove it 'cause it's in the pudding

[00:02:19] Bringing back the music to the way it should be

[00:02:21] You can stand against it but you've got no footing

[00:02:23] So if they constantly hate it better go and warn 'em

[00:02:26] I've got so many bars other rappers think that I'm a warden

[00:02:29] Off in the corner with their fingers pointing,

[00:02:31] Thinking I don't see 'em but just wait 'till morning

[00:02:32] Dawn of the day I'ma spring up from the underground

[00:02:34] Left the whole industry, tired of the run around

[00:02:35] Bet you hear my name when I come around

[00:02:37] Bet you feel my reign when the thunder sounds

[00:02:39] I can hang with you or the next, it's true then I guess

[00:02:41] I'm the best that you never found

[00:02:42] Not one to listen to hatred, but man I feel it

[00:02:45] I'm not violent but I'll write another verse just to kill it

[00:02:48] Chorus

[00:02:48] 10 whole years

[00:02:50] Finally breaking through

[00:02:51] Nobody gets a handout

[00:02:53] You've gotta pay your dues

[00:02:55] 10 whole years

[00:02:56] Finally breaking through

[00:02:58] Nobody gets a handout

[00:03:00] You've gotta pay your dues

[00:03:01] 10 whole years

[00:03:03] Finally breaking through

[00:03:04] Nobody gets a handout

[00:03:06] You've gotta pay your dues

[00:03:08] 10 whole years

[00:03:09] Finally breaking through

[00:03:11] Nobody gets a handout

[00:03:12] You've gotta pay your dues

[00:03:15] It's been a long while, but I just getting started!
