Pay Up
[Intro: Jaryd Blake]
Look
We don't duck confrontation, n***as love confrontation
We don't duck conversations, n***as love conversation
If you really want work, n***as love compensation
Look we can come together and make all these other n***as pay up, check it
Pay up, check it
Yo

[Verse 1: Jaryd Blake]
Assalamu alaikum, asalakum salam
I pray in the sun, add peace in the storm
Love the rotation, don't care for the form
But if that motherfucker bang can't say that it's wrong
I know that me minus you equal marginal error
I know that words of our father equal proof of forever
Stay on principles or fold under pressure
I know if we could come together, we could make these other n***as pay up, check it
Pay up
Creative mind, are you the one that's designing this?
All your thoughts intertwined with that sciences
Focus on that house with modern appliances
Sick as a rap god, got all of the sinuses
Plus minus less [?]
How high does your consciousnesses get?
Thoughts been synonymous with
[?] that shit the way that King Solomon live
Your idol's idol in solitary confinement [?]
Follow him in
[?] are hollowing in
Pill popping, swallowing gin on avenues and boulevards [?]
Pulled apart and [?], bottom of ten
Light it and light it again, I'll escape with ya
You know its stars in the sky, fuck a wraith n***a
If I'm a star in your eyes, know your place on top of it
If I'm a star in your eyes, know your place on top of it
[Verse 2: Mick Jenkins]
[?]
Ready to rumble, pollen ain't no bumble
Be wagging fingers like Mutombo
Elephant in the room, so they play Horton Hears a Who to my Dumbo
N***as Dr. Seuss on the radio
I put all my truth in the gumbo
Proofs in the pudding, this ain't tapioca
Pen to the paper, now I'm tapping in the style, all that fashion over saturated
How could a n***a feel emasculated?
You was already a bitch, dog
Ain't even sprinting yet, just a brisk jog on the lake shore
Waves crash at my feet, I can make, more
You surface scratching like disk jockeys, uh uh
The way that these words break jaws
Raw brush strokes when I paint flaws on my character, we
Draw gun smoke, already knew what the temperature was
All cutthroat, may see saws in my area, C notes in my carry on, pre rolls that I buried, it's no cost for hysteria
The law crush hopes, I know I fit the criteria for it
Saw a jump rope, them n***as skipping through circles of lies
See bacteria growing, I'm too clean with this shit
Y'all want certain demise, fucking with me, uh
360 layups, we 'bout to make these n***as pay up
Yeah, just keep fucking with me
