Joey Bada$$ Lyrics
"Get Paid"

-Hook-
Me and my niggas really trying to stay paid
Me and my niggas we just trying to stay paid
Me and my niggas really trying to stay paid
Just trying to rich in the next 7 days
Me and my niggas really trying to stay paid
Me and my niggas we just trying to stay paid
Me and my niggas we just trying to stay paid
Just trying to get ends for the rest of our days
-Verse 1: Joey Bada$$-
Aint trying to be a slave, I cant be bought
Ever since i caught the wave i could see shore
And i aint trying to siip slow
Im bout to blow like a C4
Niggas change like the seasons and i could see saw
I keep one eye open
I could always see all
This one for my niggas, hustlin trying to see more
For my brothers in the pen, trying to see again
Squeezing triggas with my niggas with the clippers like C. Paul
Now whats sorrow to the children of tomorrow
Another pill swallowed and a bottle of Mascato
Shots followed like a train, this shit never ends
Same city, different bureaus so we cant be friends
I cant pretend this shit dont bother me
Money for lottery, but cant solve poverty
The streets is starving me
Of all my good will and my sovereignty
I hope my people dont dishonor me
But im just trying to get paid
-Hook-
-Hook 2 -
We just trying to stay paid
My niggas trying to stay to stay paid
Wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
But i trying to be no slave
Cause we just trying to stay paid
My niggas trying to stay paid
Wondering if Heaven got a ghetto
Cause i aint really trying to be a slave
-Verse 2-
Now you could be the prophet or you could be the scholar
But whats power, is knowing that your knowledge makes
you richer than the dollar
So couldn't afford college, but nigga paid attention
Dropped out, and now he get for attending
But that aint my message, just the road i stepped in
My coach is my blessings
Watch this life teach lessons
Careful on the method, I walked in, no faux
Heres a silver spoon for the salt, its your code
Just please dont leave me starving for too long, you know time
That old mans blind, couldn't see him
Doing to climb or sleep
(???????????)
We'll come to grow
Headers on that wise zone so i always come to know
Just dont get to comfortable
Seek knowledge and get the dough
Cash will come when you see your people open up your soul to them
Cause their the only ones that knows the way you feel
Im in these rings till im in my Holyfield
And if you knew me then you probably know me still
And i aint make it yet but just know i strongly will
This aint no time to chill its time to collect
Kinda stuff that you respect yo without mic check
-Hook-
Me and my niggas really trying to stay paid
Me and my niggas we just trying to stay paid
Me and my niggas really trying to stay paid
Just trying to rich in the next 7 days
Me and my niggas really trying to stay paid
Me and my niggas we just trying to stay paid
Me and my niggas we just trying to stay paid
Just trying to get ends for the rest of our days
-Hook 2-
We just trying to stay paid
My niggas trying to stay to stay paid
Wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
But i trying to be no slave
Cause we just trying to stay paid
My niggas trying to stay paid
Wondering if Heaven got a ghetto
Cause i aint really trying to be a slave
