Paying My Dues歌词完整版
Paying my dues
I'm paying my dues
I'm paying my dues
Cause I know that
It'll soon be better, man
Late nights, early flights, yeah
This life ain't for the weak
Stacking bills, missing meals
Grinding seven days a week
24 -7 we're counting it
Nothing in the savings, we're spending it
Put it in the biz, not seeing it
Working day and night till we figure it
People talk, mehn, let them talk
They don't know the battles we fight
They don't see the sweat and the tears
They don't feel the weight and the fears
Living on the edge
Working on a ledge
Balance so fine between failure and pledge
Fighting for a place in a race that never ends
Scrapping every dime but the hustle never bends
Paying my dues
I'm paying my dues
I'm paying my dues
Cause I know that
It'll soon be better, man
Paying my dues
I'm paying my dues
I'm paying my dues
Cause I know that
It'll soon be better, man
Clocking in, clocking out
But the mind's always on
And the grind doesn't stop
Not till the break of the dawn
Not till the end of the day
Not till we get what we want
Not till the family struggles no more
Not till we see our pain turn into art
I gotta make it or make it, man
There's no other option
There's no one to come to my aid
No one to fill up my plate
Striving for the win, that's the only deal
They tell me to stop, that ain't how I feel
Brush off the doubt, gotta keep it real
We've come too far in just to break the wheel
Paying my dues
I'm paying my dues
I'm paying my dues
Cause I know that
It'll soon be better, man
Paying my dues
I'm paying my dues
I'm paying my dues
Cause I know that
It'll soon be better, man
What should I do if I quit now?
Where would I go if I throw in the towel?
How should I live if I leave it now?
What should I say when they ask me why?
Why did you falter?
Why did you hault?
Why did you give up?
It's nobody's fault
Why lose the grip when you held it so tight?
Why lose the dream when it's what made you fight?
Why did you silence the voice in your head?
Why did you choose to settle instead?
Back to square one with nothing to show?
Nah, Nah
Will I be looking back filled with regrets?
Nah, nah
End up a tale that nobody knows?
Nah, nah
That's why I'm paying my dues
I'm paying my dues
I'm paying my dues
Cause I know that
It'll soon be better, man
Paying my dues
paying my dues
I'm paying my dues
Cause I know that
It'll soon be better, man
How bout the years spent working on it?
Those aren't years I can just forfeit
I gotta work hard now
So when I grow up I'll be living the life
No corners to cut
It's not easy, you know
But nothing that's good comes easy, my bro
That's why my guy
I'm working
I'm working
I'm working
I'm working
I'm paying my dues
