Intro
I'm tryna get paid
Dont give a fuck what you say
Man I been at it for days
Knowledge is turnin to pain
Livin my life in the maze
Swear you would think Ima mage
Balance and peace on the way
I need some cheese on my plate
I need some cheese on my plate
1st Verse
No times for these hoes that be reaching for attention
Word to my women that be workin for they pension
Ain’t no slacking off when you plottin for ascension
Faced a couple trials that I don't got time to mention
Numb to the balance and they wonder why they slippin
Tippin, life is a bitch, she gon let me get the tip in
Let me eat up in the kitchen
Neva get enough of that chicken
Never get enough of the risky
Niggas turnin up for these bitches
Ima get down right vicious
I ain't got no time to be timid
I’m goin outta town in a minute
I done been around shorty listen
Ima beat it up and that's a given
All I did was take what I was given
Every dub start wit a decision
That's why I always say it like I meant it
Everyday I wake up on a mission
I'm tryna get paid!
Bridge
I'm tryna get paid
I'm tryna get paid
Do you hear the rage
Do you feel the pain
Im trapped in a cage
Three hundred and sixty five days
I'm underpaid
I'm losing my faith
I’m tryna be brave
I’m tryna be brave
Yeah, yeah
2nd Verse
Everyday I wake up on a mission
Like I'm playing Grand Theft Auto or Torismo
Gotta hit the cartridge once like Nintendo
In a limbo tryna make my money limo
Should be thankful so I hit the Tebow
Raised in the six like I come from Toronto
But you can catch me on the Mutombo
Tryna make it out hair, Repunzell
Tryna rogaine from the struggle
Mom said I’m dancing with devil
That make sense why I like to hustle
Gotta empty hole in my soul like a bagel
I been praying that my music pop like Faygo
Chips have me living better made like potatoes
Being at the bottom never been my cup of Tazo
School of hard knocks ya'll could never get a tassel
If you not chasing the money like a tackle
Can't be another average Joe Flacco
Gotta get it ASAP Lord Flacco
No choice but to go Ibaka no M'baku
And to all the hoes that deserve Charcoal
I got tunnel vision getting carpel
If you ain’t help out with a carpool
Or help out at the drive through
I don't owe you, ain't no code blue
Where was you when the tears flooded Urkle
DREAM
Outro
I'm tryna get paid
I'm tryna get paid
Do you hear the rage
Do you feel the pain
Im trapped in a cage
Three hundred and sixty five days
I'm underpaid
I'm losing my faith
I'm tryna be brave
I'm tryna be brave
Yeah, yeah
I'm tryna get paid
