Paid For

[Verse 1]

Imagination running wild
Got an image of my life put it up on the screen
Reputation on the rise
Got em knowing who i am when I enter the scene
Dedication in his eyes
Been working so long and they can’t believe
Transformation over time
Got that little nerdy kid blowing up from his dream
Always had a flair for the dramatic
If they wanna stop me, I won't have it
Sitting on top like an attic
Fiend for this shit like an addict
Leave em all static
Reppin' Burn City on that big smoke magic
Part i’m a dreamer, part a fanatic
Never take a chance just reach out and grab it
Fathom, anything i want i can have it
Hit the bottom of the bottle and I’m staring down
My girl looking like a model, got em staring now
You can deny it all you wanna they won’t hear me out
Got their heads like a bobble when the speakers loud
They reaching out, fake friends back around
I got them clapping on their hands, now they in the crowd
Now go back a couple years when they tried to doubt
Ain’t it funny how this shit all going down

[Chorus]

Popping pen caps, while they all been popping bottles
Go and get it now because we know theres no tomorrows
Cause this ain’t fate, its true
We up at pale dawn
Its make or break, but you
Get what you paid for
Yeah we been popping pen caps, while they all been popping bottles
Go and get it now because we know theres no tomorrows
Cause this ain’t fate, its true
We up at pale dawn
Its make or break, but you
Get what you paid for

[Verse 2]

I'm on another level, no
I’m on another planet
Made my mind up, set me goals
And then just got right down and planned it
Came here on that rocket ship and crashed
Before I ever landed
Buzzing through your speakers
Laying low, a ghost, just like a phantom
Perched above the city in the night
Looking down, watching them move through the lights
Hunger never satisfy my appetite
Always seeing grey, no plain black and white
Every thought i ever had, in time to indite
Put me on the stage, give me the spotlight
Every thought i ever had, now time to recite
Put me on the stage, i’ll make it mine, yo

[Chorus]

Popping pen caps, while they all been popping bottles
Go and get it now because we know theres no tomorrows
Cause this ain’t fate, its true
We up at pale dawn
Its make or break, but you
Get what you paid for
Yeah we been popping pen caps, while they all been popping bottles
Go and get it now because we know theres no tomorrows
Cause this ain’t fate, its true
We up at pale dawn
Its make or break, but you
Get what you paid for

[Verse 3]

This team of dreamers best believe that we been out here scheming
The leaders rocking with them features got the people screaming
They caught between being fatigued and falling from defeat
When i release and then proceed to watch them all concede
Feeling like a chopper like a blackhawk
Feeling this shit since the days of the black board
Try to open up their eyes like a trap door
While they on the D like they play in the back court
Got the music sing it loud like a carol
Feel it in my bones like it's marrow
Feeling right at home while i’m climbing up the ladder
With the bass loud through the ground till i got your whole town clapping

[Chorus]

Popping pen caps, while they all been popping bottles
Go and get it now because we know theres no tomorrows
Cause this ain’t fate, its true
We up at pale dawn
Its make or break, but you
Get what you paid for
Yeah we been popping pen caps, while they all been popping bottles
Go and get it now because we know theres no tomorrows
Cause this ain’t fate, its true
We up at pale dawn
Its make or break, but you
Get what you paid for
