[Chorus]
Yeah, I see them checks is coming, I ain't even getting paid
But I know it's coming, I'm preparing how I can
In this 'cause I love it, seeing lives and how they've changed
All from what I'm writing, putting power in their veins
If they're gonna play them games, they don't stay around me
I ain't never played no games, I get my bread, I'm outtie

[Verse 1]
Look, mhm, yeah
Familiar faces, but no one looks the same when
I remember seeing them last, wonder what changed them
Girls that usеd to curve me now are еager to get a taste since
I focused on the core of what's me and never lane switched
I been patient, can't keep up with the pace then
I can't risk a thing that'll put me in second place, I'ma win
Say I changed to make yourself feel okay 'cause within
You ain't okay with the situation you're in, but you won't change

[Pre-Chorus]
Asking God to save your life
Without trying things you like
Think it's timing with no grinding, like, shit, find a place in life
Look behind the mask you wear
You gon' find everything there
That's how I did it, now I won't stop 'til I get it, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
I see them checks is coming, I ain't even getting paid
But I know it's coming, I'm preparing how I can
In this 'cause I love it, seeing lives and how they've changed
All from what I'm writing, putting power in their veins
If they're gonna play them games, they don't stay around me
I ain't never played no games, I get my bread, I'm outtie
Mmm

[Verse 2]
I ain't done everything right
But it's cool, I'm right here
Living, learning 'cause it's life
Not everyone's sight clear
Had to choose for me what's right
Sacrificed and I cried tears
If I had to give my life
I'm giving it right there
I don't say that acting like I ain't never been tested
Life was like a blade moving closer 'round where my neck is
Shit was wearing thin, but by God I knew I'm selected
Only job I have is to get me to where I'm destined

[Pre-Chorus]
No one's flawless
Nothing's promised (Yeah, ooh)
If I'm honest, I can't wait for the day I say
[Chorus]
I see them checks is coming, bro, you know I'm getting paid (Paid)
Bitches tryna love me, but I only want the face
Get it how I want it, they do anything I say
I've been tryna get to it, baby, know I don't play
If they're gonna play them games, they don't stay around me
I ain't never played no games, I get my bread, I'm outtie (Yo, yeah, um)

[Verse 3]
Your career lasted as long as a conjugal visit
Viagra in my blood, fuck the game up long as I'm living
Tryna make M's and flip 'em 'cause all I know is W's
Took some L's 'cause I'm loyal, life loves to let lovers lose
Now they telling me I'm different and I changed up (Changed up)
I'm just focused more on the things that ain't changed on me
No longer caged up, they're scared 'cause they know I'm dangerous (Dangerous)
My heart and soul is for those ain't never went fake on me

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't let their words cut me too deep
I know they hurting deep inside themselves
They take it out on those that think like me

[Chorus]
I see them checks is coming, I ain't even getting paid (Yeah)
But I know it's coming, I'm preparing how I can
In this 'cause I love it, seeing lives and how they've changed
All from what I'm writing, putting power in their veins (Ooh)
If they're gonna play them games, they don't stay around me (No)
I ain't never played no games, I get my bread, I'm outtie
Mmm
