[Verse 1]
Lately I been tryna flip the script
I can't quit, I can feel success through my fingertips
I've Been in debt, my whole life
I Owe my mother the world
I pay the price every time I don't act right
The city stay sleeping on the kid, I'm convinced
Cuz where I'm at in life it don't really make sense
I took a risk that I couldn't resist
An addiction so strong that I stay making hits
I'll keep flowing no matter the drought
I'll keep going no matter the clout
I'm not really concerned unless it's really my turn
Im tryna make what I invested into bigger amounts
I see the bigger picture, it keeps on getting clearer
I'll take a billion Ls and still end up a winner
They can raise the stakes, I'll do whatever it takes
Imma still make it back at the end of the day
[Hook]
Let me pay my dues
And ill put it on my life imma make it back, imma make it back
Just watch what I do how a youngin came from nothing
But he made it back, yeah he made it back
I don't need what you give me, save the favors
And just take it back, yeah just take it back
Even if it takes a lifetime, Imma make it back, imma make it back
[Verse 2]
They looking for handouts, they looking to standout
They can't even imagine how to make it in rap wow
I really got the blueprint
Even when I didn't have it I had two cents from my OGs
Yeah they told me worry about ya craft
And if you getting mad, don't be selling out for trophies
You got talent Joey and that's a given
Don't focus on ya numbers but stay focused to the mission
You always gotta bounce back when you find trouble
Sometimes you gotta let go when you make fumbles
It's apart of life, it's the game we play
Are you gonna take risks or just stay away
From the center of attention, you was destined
To play in the field while the losers in detention
Don't get caught in the hype, you won't break away
Take it day by day but never fade away
[Hook]
Let me pay my dues
And ill put it on my life imma make it back, imma make it back
Just watch what I do how a youngin came from nothing
But he made it back, yeah he made it back
I don't need what you give me, save the favors
And just take it back, yeah just take it back
Even if it takes a lifetime, Imma make it back, imma make it back
