[Lyric] PAY MY DUES (Wale The Sage)

(Verse 1)
I was born in a world on rental
I was sent to accidental
22 I lost my mental
Temperamental, I was gentle
So much hate fakes you face, and the world resents you
Call you special, great potential
Lying through they teeth
Really never check their dental
The love, the hate, the pain
The loops the chains
Yeah we stuck in a suit that we call a vessel
Lives on the line likе soul train
So we dance till therе's no pain
We pretend that the world ain't crowded
Our judgement clouded
Our tears pouring like rain
Finding ways but the map rerouted
Every dollar counted kinda harder to sustain
You alone even when surrounded
Even if you shouted, only gives you a migraine
These loaves are enough for creation
We loath the rotation
We bake for relation alone
Days full of hatred and malice
We all want a palace but buy our way to the throne
(Chorus)
Gotta find my groove
Look hide from fools
I'm living to pay my dues
Find my groove
Look silent moves
I'm living to pay my dues
Gotta find my groove
Look hide from fools
I'm living to pay my dues
Find my groove
Look silent moves
I'm living to pay my dues

(Verse 2)
You tryna check me huh?
Check in the dresser
Careful the way you address me
You moving reckless huh?
You trigger happy
You wearing the souls like a necklace see
The path that you chose
The liquor and hoes
The beating on women and gloats
The stabbing and breaking the doors
You digging a hole
Afraid you get popped on a stroll
Arrested then out on parole
Then back on the road
Redemption ain't easy I know
Life is so fragile
Stuck in the ocean you paddle
Clouded you feel like Seattle
Building a castle
Duck through the issues you agile
Flip through the problems like channels wait
A man on a mission today
A message on track that I gotta relay
I speak to the masses
I hope when I'm ashes
My world is a wisdom and one to relate
Generation of classes
We fixing the patches
We not moving backwards
It's not for debate
Never been happy seen bullets in alleys
It don't cost a dollar cause I won't change
(Never been happy seen bullets in alleys
It don't cost a dollar cause I won't change)
(Chorus)
Gotta find my groove
Look hide from fools
I'm living to pay my dues
Find my groove
Look silent moves
I'm living to pay my dues
Gotta find my groove
Look hide from fools
I'm living to pay my dues
Find my groove
Look silent moves
I'm living to pay my dues
Gotta find my groove
Look hide from fools
I'm living to pay my dues
Find my groove
Look silent moves
I'm living to pay my dues
Gotta find my groove
Look hide from fools
I'm living to pay my dues
Find my groove
Look silent moves
I'm living to pay my dues
