wongtune$ - pay dues lyrics
[intro]
there’s nothing like a free beat during the recession. pause. yeah
(yeah. scott. look.)
[verse 1]
it’s hard to survive off of $7.25
and you ain’t really living
just tryna stay alive
and even if you’re given
you’re taken by surprise
tryna be nice
might lead to your demise
i rise, i grind
i take the time
to work
just to find out that these jerks
taking mine
its fine
just make sure that i’m paid
my social security and medicaid
when it’s time
tick tock gun shots
go off when they broke and the funds stop
so the fun stops
can’t even go out
cause you bound to get got when you tryna show out
dag its sad
and shorty bad in a good way
so you know i gotta look sharp: touche
and hope nobody try to front on me today
i’m just tryna make a come up
is what i should say
[chorus]
they say they
got a lot of money (nope)
but tell me
is that something you relate to (nah)
government taking pay from me (come on)
and i don’t even really know what to do (come on)
if being broke is a joke
it ain’t funny (not at all)
so man l ain’t laughing with you (nope)
the first of the month always coming in a hurry (dag)
phone, school, car bills they due
d-mn
[verse 2]
aww man
what else can i say?
they say girls are pains
but why sallie mae?
i know i owe the money
dag man, ok
can i please pay my tuition on black friday? (i’m serious)
i need a discount
or make this dis count
tell ’em get off my back
you need to dismount
that means you’ll get it
when i got it
school’s already stressing me out
you need to stop it
they tryna cut off my meal plan
man i gotta eat
so what’s the deal fam
payment differed
but free is preferred
i’m far from rich
not what you heard
no?
well tell i’m moving out
tryna save some money
that’s what that is about
commuting
that’s what i’m choosing
gotta buy a car
with what money?
i’ll figure it out
i don’t know
[chorus]
they say they
got a lot of money (nope)
but tell me
is that something you relate to (nah)
government taking pay from me (come on)
and i don’t even really know what to do (come on)
if being broke is a joke
it ain’t funny (not at all)
so man l ain’t laughing with you (nope)
the first of the month always coming in a hurry (dag)
phone, school, car bills they due
d-mn
aww man
d-mn
*phone rings*
verse3
d-mn
i can’t get a ride
mean i gotta walk to that q85
but my metro low on dough so no lies
i gotta check the piggy for that 2.25?
quarters, nicks and dimes
but you know that’s far from drug money
and what i look like
tryna holla at honey
on the back of the bus
ain’t bagging it up
she want a guy with a ride
you know a ac or a truck
what’s up?
i ain’t saying she a gold digger (oh, she’s a gold digger)
but she tryna get a brother making six figures
i figure
that maybe i can get with ya
if i go ahead and mislead you
i mean
try to borrow something that i really can’t afford
then buy expensive present that i know you will adore
just to incur debt
has it occurred yet
to you?
gotta pay dues to jet set
[chorus]
they say they
got a lot of money (nope)
but tell me
is that something you relate to (nah)
government taking pay from me (come on)
and i don’t even really know what to do (come on)
if being broke is a joke
it ain’t funny (not at all)
so man l ain’t laughing with you (nope)
the first of the month always coming in a hurry (dag)
phone, school, car bills they due
d-mn
