๐ Lyrics
Now in the shadows I lurk
Observe patterns like the plaid on my shirt
Cast doubt on the wall of that cavern
Shed light with the lantern, bugs scatter that earth
Fake smiles, let me shatter that smirk
Rearrange your grey matter, see your path in reverse
Saw the chapters, read 'em backwards, re-imagine the words
Climbed the ladder top to bottom and I landed on first
Slow, steady and calculate
Calibrate the vision, take notes and extrapolate
Fine tune and listen, make goals and encapsulate
Take what's theirs, make it yours, watch 'em salivate
I have the luxury of hindsight
Luckily I don't believe I fucking need that limelight
Pay attention and rewind twice
The actor in the spotlight dies, I got my mind right
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Yeah, listen
I'm trying to be the best possible version of me
What you trying to be the best at?
Take a good look at what you see
I'm a full time hustler, always on something
Trying to make noise like an old muffle
Seen many fall flat, dream over, now a nightmare
So close to what they wanted, it was right there
In front of 'em, and then hard work confronted 'em
And knocked it back before they even wanted it
Some of us are pawns in it for too long
And learn from our mistakes
And actually embrace what it takes to make it in this race
We start out as babies naked in space
And soon learn to be afraid of everything in our way
So it's a long shot to do this
And not just be a nine digit number with a number of excuses
Proof is in the action
It's not magic, stop acting like your future's written
And then hidden in a cookie by Confucius
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Observe patterns like the plaid on my shirt
Cast doubt on the wall of that cavern
Shed light with the lantern, bugs scatter that earth
Fake smiles, let me shatter that smirk
Rearrange your grey matter, see your path in reverse
Saw the chapters, read 'em backwards, re-imagine the words
Climbed the ladder top to bottom and I landed on first
Slow, steady and calculate
Calibrate the vision, take notes and extrapolate
Fine tune and listen, make goals and encapsulate
Take what's theirs, make it yours, watch 'em salivate
I have the luxury of hindsight
Luckily I don't believe I fucking need that limelight
Pay attention and rewind twice
The actor in the spotlight dies, I got my mind right
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Yeah, listen
I'm trying to be the best possible version of me
What you trying to be the best at?
Take a good look at what you see
I'm a full time hustler, always on something
Trying to make noise like an old muffle
Seen many fall flat, dream over, now a nightmare
So close to what they wanted, it was right there

Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
Folks pay dues, not me, I pay attention
