Paid Up - Snak the Ripper

Ayo, my product’s always top notch, high grade, triple a

Shit can make your heart stop like huffin' gas and sniffin' yay

Bouncin' off the walls like a stray bullet ricochet

This is opportunity and I won’t let it slip away

Never givin' no shits, been livin' this since o six

This is real talk, ain’t no skittled wings and glow sticks

All these cash got my pants saggin' like some old tits

I guess I’m just a snob like bitches whos trynna get their nose fixed

But I bet they hear me, every word is pronounced

Clear enough to keep 'em bouncing while I’m burnin' an ounce

Witnesses got gory details an disturbing' accounts

Of how I’ve came into the game and murder shit unannounced

Yeah, I been at this shit for like a decade plus

So I could take them to school and get a direct a plus

I keep on hittin' the stage so I could collect these funds

They gonna know how hard I’ve grinded

When my death day comes

Cause I’m always droppin' jewels

I been doin' it since way back (Way back)

(I been at it so long)

You won’t see me paying dues

Cause I already paid that (Motherfuckers got it all wrong)

Always droppin' jewels

I been doin' it since way back (Way back)

(We been at it so long now)

We don’t follow any rules, the motherfuckers hate that

You won’t see me paying dues

Cause I already paid that

They wanna know how long I’ve been rockin'

Been runnin' this shit while they walkin'

Picked up on the target and locked in

Ain’t stoppin' till I’m in your top tens

Started this shit with no plan of attack

I been through it all and I had to adapt

Kicked to the curve and stabbed in the back

Now bitches front row and they grabbin' my sack

Signed to a label that had to be dropped

Keepin' a couple of grams from the top

I’m the best, keep on turnin' like hands on the clock

Learned not to let nobody handle my guap

Living in poverty taught me some skills

Slangin' CDs just to cover the bills

Rappers get to only run from the hills

My shit is original, one in the mill

And it’s only the truth that I’m even expose

Kickin' the doors if they’re keepin' it closed

Whos body’s fake as the people that pose

They like to show love then their shit decomposed

And that’s how it goes through every intrial

On top of my game, I’ve been there for while

Got a mask on my face, I don’t wear for style

Put your hands in the air and prepare to get wild

They losing their shit when I’m doing the set

From riding a bus to cruising in jets

Started out as rookie but grew to a vet

Smoking this weed — what I do to forget

Swinging the shit but I do it correct

Permanent like the tattoo on my neck

My enemies know that the dude is a threat

The dues that I’ve paid you can truly respect

Cause I’m always droppin' jewels

I been doin' it since way back (Way back)

(I been at it so long)

You won’t see me paying dues

Cause I already paid that (Motherfuckers got it all wrong)

Always droppin' jewels

I been doin' it since way back (Way back)

(We been at it so long now)

We don’t follow any rules, the motherfuckers hate that

You won’t see me paying dues

Cause I already paid that (Paid that)

You used to have to pay dues to show… everybody that you intended to stick

with the business and you weren’t just coming in to jack off, like everybody

does these days.

To make it a larcker, to make a hobby or whatever because back

then you could actually make a living of this if you were good at it…

and so, yes, you had to pay dues.

Whenever guys had their fucking bones broken

or other guys have been beat up, guys had to drive a car for a thousand miles,

I didn’t compain
