Paid My Dues
[Intro]
Once!
[Verse 1]
We don't wanna hear about Nick Cannon
Boy, you a guest, chasin' clout
So, why don't ya' go hang out at Stan's home?
'Cause, hip-hop ain't yo' house
[Verse 2]
Oh, you think ya' funny? You've got nerve, makin' jokes
'Bout social distance, that killed my folks and I miss 'em
I 'on't even know if you Christian
[Verse 3]
Well, you'd prob'ly know if you listen
All I'm really doin' is talkin'
With a beat behind no' teeth, behind
What you little puppies doin'? Just barkin'
[Verse 4]
Put my day to day, in these verses
'Til the day, I lay in a hearse, and
Bunch'a rappers out here hate, throw curses
Prob'ly just afraid to get slayed, in person
[Verse 5]
Hurts, when you see the way I play with words
My rhymes' hangin' with the greatest on earth
But ya say my white skin is a sin, better repent
You callin' me a racist, since birth?
[Verse 6]
Know what, man, it ain't even worth it
Guess I should'a known to expect that
Devil throwin' hell my direction
Look at all that God's done, through Freepression
[Verse 7]
Boy, I ain't surprised, he wants me to get out
'Cause, every single time, I put a new hit out
Like, that boy put a hit on his head
'Cause, I live for my King, who ain't dead
And a lot of folks heard what I said
[Verse 8]
And it don't work well for a strategy
I try to raise hell, for humanity
You battle rap, I battle demons, not for sale
I really give a damn who mad at me
[Verse 9]
Ain't nothin' new under the sun
Definitely nothin' new on the news
Now, we're never gonna stand for the truth
King had a dream, NightMerica hit snooze
[Verse 10]
Damn right, they stole the White House from Trump
Better wake up, and notice what's up
'Cause, it's gettin' hot down here, Jesus comin' back
I'm just rappin' 'til He come scoop me up
[Verse 11]
And, I'm using music to get through to you, if you sick
So you use it to get
Better, never stole a battle, but I respect vets
Plus, I know a thing or two about gettin' death threats
[Verse 12]
And if that's not bad enough
Feel like I'm chasing my life, bills are adding up
Boy, I'm famous, not born with a silver spoon
Keep the chrome, run up, rack that, aim that, boom, boom!
[Verse 13]
Soon as you say you ain't scared
Look out for the media goin' crazy to attack us
Kinda like Paul doin' when he killed Christians, 'fore the boy took a little road to Damascus
[Verse 14]
Fact is, a lot of y'all still don't get it And prob'ly won't get it 'til it's Armageddon
And I don't know if Christ gonna come in '21
But I know you trippin' if you think He ain't risen
[Verse 15]
Listen, if you want something then, boy, go get it
Ain't about black or white, dawg, it's all about commitment
Thinkin' that I'm playin', boy, I never really liked fairytales
Born to take the road I'm on and ride through the gates of Hell
[Verse 16]
It wouldn't be the first time that I been there before
I see it every time it's 11:34
Livin' with no spines, where these Christians all gone?
And I'm a Christian livin' life for the Lord
[Verse 17]
'Til He return on them clouds
I'll never go Hollywood, Hollywood Runnin' through the devil's playground
But, I know that I'll be good, I'll be good
'Cause, I know too much ain't enough
[Verse 18]
Plus I never make music for fame
Bottom line, I'ma rhyme 'til I flat line, whether or not this world knows my name
And speakin' of the world knowin' names, got a text from my homeboy, named Spane
And he said John B would be proud, 'cause good die young got these folks brains
[Verse 19]
Can't tell ya' what they text back to me
Every message is a blessin' to read
Much love, like my love 'bout the guns if ya' believe I keep them both next to me
[Verse 20]
Think it's 'bout time to go, lemme stop
Yet, I can't, 'bout to blow, hit the top
But I paid my dues, and I just named every music video that I dropped
[Outro]
Said it's 'bout time to go, lemme stop
Yet, I can't, 'bout to blow, hit the top
But, I paid my dues, and I just named every music video that I dropped
