Paid Dues Lyrics - Artist : 8Ball & MJG
[Ebony Love:]
It's a skinny line, skinny line, yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah, skinny line Trapped in the trap Mom and dad didn't raise us right, no Mom and dad didn't raise us right, yeah Trapped in the trap They were too young Said trapped in the trap all night It's a skinny line between wrong and right Trapped in the trap 'til the morning light Ghetto ain't left me no choices, I had to fight My mom and dad were too young to raise me right Maybe I been made a man for all the mistakes I made Niggas dead, niggas gone, I still ain't afraid Ain't too grown to get back on with the ghetto games I played My life would have been done got cut off if the dues weren't paid [MJG:] In the middle of doin' crime It never stopped me from writin' rhymes It never stopped me from playin' music God put it in me, I had to use it It was obvious, I had to give up the streets for the beats Not knowin', but havin' faith on just how long that it would be Before I made it, before somebody picked up my tape and played it With a remark like, "Hey, play that instrumental, them cats got potential" In the process of doing parties, talent shows, and mixtapes We even put it down at some of our homeboys' jail release dates I can remember in the past closin' down at fast foods Strictly stickin' to my craft, but feelin' like I'll be the last dude Who can make it in this rap I felt that they ain't gon' see me in Memphis 'Cause it was like a time they looked over Tennessee and didn't know hip-hop was in it To all my vets in the game, I got love, stay on your toes 'Cause back in the days I used to use your 4-5 instrumental to do my shows And look, I was 17 when I signed my first contract And about 18 and a half when I signed my worst contract And we hurt from that and 'til this day, they still distributin' Our first tape before Comin Out Hard, now can you feel it? Be humble and patient in whatever that you should choose 'Cause to get to where I'm at right now, I done paid my dues [Ebony Love:] It's a skinny line between wrong and right Trapped in the trap 'til the morning light Ghetto ain't left me no choices, I had to fight My mom and dad were too young to raise me right Maybe I been made a man for all the mistakes I made Niggas dead, niggas gone, I still ain't afraid Ain't too grown to get back on with the ghetto games I played My life would have been done got cut off if the dues weren't paid [8Ball:] A C-note for a concert, I know that sounds preposterous Nigga, we didn't have a pot to piss So we got on stage and we rocked the bitch Fuck the cheese, I love to see my niggas in the front row Get buck wild, start a fight, and the police make a nigga stop the show Niggas all in the parkin' lot, bustin' shots, fuckin' with hoes Box Chevy with the spokes and Vogues Niggas didn't know shit 'bout a 20 inch Mo-Mo Hard head young nigga, don't believe that shit 'til I see that shit See them heavyweight niggas, one day I'm gonna be that shit Okay, everybody know everybody done sold dope Ran with a gang, pimped some hoes and snorted a little coke, but uh I'm space agin' and we'll forever be 8Ball the fat mack and MJ-fuckin'-G Now turn the page from then to now and we still grindin' Small clubs, small towns, if they bouncin', we find them Put them on the guest list, make them pump their fist and get buck to this Make one of them weed smokin' gangsta bitches get fucked to this Expand, give all my true fans what they demand Do my part again and uh, come out hard again and uh Keep space agin' and we'll forever be 8Ball the fat mack and MJ-fuckin'-G [Ebony Love:] It's a skinny line between wrong and right Trapped in the trap 'til the morning light Ghetto ain't left me no choices, I had to fight My mom and dad were too young to raise me right Maybe I been made a man for all the mistakes I made Niggas dead, niggas gone, I still ain't afraid Ain't too grown to get back on with the ghetto games I played My life would have been done got cut off if the dues weren't paid Thank you, thank you I'm Ebony Love I'm here with my boys 8Ball, MJG Who's space agin' forever I love you too I love you all |
