PAID MY DUES (2.0 REMIX) Lyrics

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
