Ashtin Larold
Hell of a Ride
[Intro: Paycheck]
Ayy, yuh

[Verse 1: Paycheck]
I spit some songs, get off the stage, the crowd begging for more
That's how I imagine it’ll be the day I go on tour
I’m pretty poppin' for a teen whose making raps inside his room
I'mma top all the competition, all these rappers meet their doom
I-I-I been dreamin' of music, and now I'm switching the gears
Ever since I heard Larold spitting, I went to face all my fears
Sat down with the pen and the pad, and then I started to write
Put out a couple of verses and they all said it was tight
So then I stepped to the mic, thought I recorded a hit
Turns out it wasn’t so easy
They said it wasn’t my bit
I started making an album, but it wasn’t very long
Until the hate it caught up to me 'cause I wasn’t so strong
So then I went to the drawing board
And then what came along?
Two songs about what my dream was, and why these people were wrong!
And then that started the journey to Gusher, Broke Boy, and Fantasy
And I dropped my first album
Now people begging for amnesty
I got plans for the future, 2018 is my year
I'mma get signed to a label
And then these people gon' hear
All these facts that I be spilling
I'm a teenager, I’m killin'
All of these sickening rappers
Who think that they are the illest
“Oh, he’s a kid! Man, he sucks!
It's past your bedtime, you know!"
I got the freshest new style, and the wickedest flow
I murder beats like it’s nothin'
I'm the Rap God, but reborn
I killed this track double-time
It’s time for me to go mourn (uh)

[Hook: Paycheck]
Mumbling’s the cancer of music
Man, it's the easy way out
Throw on some Autotune and beat drops
And you gonna get clout
But if you wanna spit real rap, then be a part of the pride
This is an industry revolt
Man, it’s one hell of a ride
Mumbling’s the cancer of music
Man, it's the easy way out
Throw on some Autotune and beat drops
And you gonna get clout
But if you wanna spit real rap, then be a part of the pride
This is an industry revolt
Man, it’s one hell of a ride

[Verse 2: Ashtin Larold]
Yeah
Been doing rap since long before I ever saw me a check
Back when this shit was just a hobby that I did to impress
I'd go outside and freestyle with all these kids at recess
And leave 'em speechless like they just got fucking kicked in the chest!
I've met the industry's best
I've seen the industry's worst
I've met some snakes I'd like to place inside the back of a hearse
My will's been put to the test, but I'm still sick with a verse
And I'mma keep spitting 'til I get the respect I deserve
Fuck all your meetings and deals
Fuck all these bitches in suits
All of my teammates are real
Got ride-or-dies in my booth
My team's my family
Can't you see past the frauds and the fakes?
And we gon' make it together
Don't give a fuck what it takes!

[Hook: Paycheck]
Mumbling’s the cancer of music
Man, it's the easy way out
Throw on some Autotune and beat drops
And you gonna get clout
But if you wanna spit real rap, then be a part of the pride
This is an industry revolt
Man, it’s one hell of a ride
Mumbling’s the cancer of music
Man, it's the easy way out
Throw on some Autotune and beat drops
And you gonna get clout
But if you wanna spit real rap, then be a part of the pride
This is an industry revolt
Man, it’s one hell of a ride

[Instrumental Break]

[Hook: Paycheck]
Mumbling’s the cancer of music
Man, it's the easy way out
Throw on some Autotune and beat drops
And you gonna get clout
But if you wanna spit real rap, then be a part of the pride
This is an industry revolt
Man, it’s one hell of a ride
Mumbling’s the cancer of music
Man, it's the easy way out
Throw on some Autotune and beat drops
And you gonna get clout
But if you wanna spit real rap, then be a part of the pride
This is an industry revolt
Man, it’s one hell of a ride
