[Intro: Phil Ade talking]
Yeah...Yeah...Gotta Take my Jacket off for this one
Yeah...Like 5 AM in the morning. I just, I just got some shit I want to get off my chest
Yeah. Uh. Do this for Hip-Hop

[Verse 1: Phil Ade]

I remember sitting in the TL buzzing off of 3 L's
Bragging about what girlfriend im bagging on the DL
Working at a retail, could never get a great job
Skin wasn't light enough, couldn't play the race card
It was niggers that were profiling so I'm whilin stealing car tv's
To keep me off of broke island
No violent n***a I ain't with the cocaine
But where I'm from it's play ball or a dope game
And only one made it out spitting propane
When he got signed is bout the time that my flow came
I swear I'm out of here, and I dont hear the rogaine
Being broke used to be funny, but now the joke's lame
Drop school, left mama house with no shame
Cause life's been a dick, like the pope's name
And ain't a thang guaranteed for blacks
Thats why we rap we get our money fast

[Hook]
Cause I've paid my dues, and I've got too much to lose
To be waiting on you to tell me something true
I've paid my dues, and I've got too much to lose
To be waiting on you to tell me something true

[Verse 2: Phil Ade]

I swear there's nothing like sex, the 4 am text, asking if you trying to mess
To niggers that be the best, but can end up the worse
And pussy is a blessing that can bless you with a curse
That devil in a skirt could have a devil in her skirt
And my state one of the highest rates on earth
I searched to know why that shit is always in the hood
And why magic is the only n***a with it that's good...And
Fuck the doctor, they talk to you just enough
To keep you coming back till your pocket is fully sucked
I know niggers going poor just trying stay alive
So somebody pay your mind before we pay for it in crime
Word of my nine holders my girl is the ninth over from one
Aiming down your times over and done
I'm an asshole, I won't even settle for best
I want the crown, won't settle for less

[Hook]

Cause I've paid my dues, and I've got too much to lose
To be waiting on you to tell me something true
I've paid my dues, and I've got too much to lose
To be waiting on you to tell me something true
Tell me something true
Tell me something true
