[Intro: Troy Maxson & Cory]
Can I ask you a question?
What the hell you wanna ask me? Mr. Stawicki the one you got the questions for
How come you ain't never liked me?
Liked you? Who the hell say I got to like you?
What law is there say I got to like you?
Wanna stand up in my face and ask a damn fool ass question like that
Talking about liking somebody
Come here boy, when I talk to you
Straighten up dammit!
I asked you a question, what law is there say I got to like you?

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm from the city of the foxes
I been tryna set trends
But I won't ever sell a soul
Not mine or any of my friends
And I been stickin' to the pavement
Don't forget what you said, "Everybody has their price"
But mine just never made sense

[Chorus]
But now I'm finally paid
So I guess I'll make do
With all the finer things
But my hands are too cold
And I can't feel a thing, nah
I didn't hear a thing
When the fire came but
We all got our payment

[Interlude: Troy Maxson & Cory]
As long as you in my house, you put that sir on the end of it when you talk to me!
Yes sir
You—

[Verse]
So I guess I'm cooked
And I've been down for too long
Finally gettin' up
Startin' to feel like player one
I grab my gun and look
Upon this battlefield I lost
So baby wish me luck
My baby wish me
When this war is finally done
Yeah, I'll come make you blush and baby, what the fuck?
I've never been good with words
Is gratitude enough? Is gratitude enough?
But it never is
So I'll just sit here on my own and pour this medicine (Pour this medicine)
I drop blue pills in sugar free, I'm smokin' kerosene
I should've never been so dumb to fuckin' let you in
Sorry for my temperament

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm from the city of the foxes
I been tryna set trends
But I won't ever sell a soul
Not mine or any of my friends
And I been stickin' to the pavement
Don't forget what you said, "Everybody has their price"
But mine just never made sense

[Chorus]
But now I'm finally paid
So I guess I'll make do
With all the finer things
But my hands are too cold
And I can't feel a thing, nah
I didn't hear a thing
When the fire came but
We all got our payment
