Intro
(Yeah, yeah)
Riding out, sun shining on the block
Tryna make it out, you know what we got
Verse
Tryna make it out like Byrd did, bruh you know me and the guys
We toting heavy, making bread, ain’t no loafin, on the rise
Feed him to the birds, we floatin’, high off that gas, I poked him
Left him in the deep, with the fishes, waters open
My lil ones diggin’ ditches, grind hard in these trenches
Try to run up wrong, we smackin’ bitches; relentless
Smack! Go granny, watch her head go missin’
Found months later right in grandma’s kitchen
That’s what you get for dissin’, now your fam gone missin’
Whatchu gonna do when your squad ain’t grippin’?
You not really ready, too shook, no ambition
Pre-Chorus
Never waited on fate, we made our own way
Lessons in the struggle, every night, every day
From the dirt to the riches, from the pain to the plate
We done learned how to hustle, made it out, elevate
Chorus
Pay too lay, you play, you stay
We cruise, we pray, then move, don’t stray
Stack bread, don’t loaf, now we on display
Livin’ high, gassed up, no time to delay
Pay too lay, gotta grind for the win
From the dark, from the pain, still ready to begin
See the light with my kin, ain’t no foldin’ within
Gotta hustle to the top, only way I’m gettin’ in
Verse
I did him dirty, clapped him, then after fucked his mother
Guess I’m that dude, really got that title, call me a motherfucker
Can’t trust these, man they talk behind covers
Say one thing to me, fake lovers, straight busters
All that talk, wanna hate until they stutter
Hit from the back, now she walkin’ with a struggle
No trust for a snake, no seats at the table
Too many tried to switch, now my circle stable
We built from the struggle, no fables, just labels
On the grind 'til I’m up and we signed to the labels
Pre-Chorus
Came from nothin’, kept pushin’, now we finally up
Had to learn from the bottom, now we rising above
No regrets in my path, just the lessons I love
Gotta pay too lay, can’t ever be stuck
Chorus
Pay too lay, you play, you stay
We cruise, we pray, then move, don’t stray
Stack bread, don’t loaf, now we on display
Livin’ high, gassed up, no time to delay
Pay too lay, gotta grind for the win
From the dark, from the pain, still ready to begin
See the light with my kin, ain’t no foldin’ within
Gotta hustle to the top, only way I’m gettin’ in
Bridge
Out the shadows with my fam, lights up, we climbin’ higher
Haters talk but they expire, energy I don’t acquire
Every struggle brought me power, every hour built desire
Paid too many dues, now I’m flyer than a flyer
Chorus
Pay too lay, you play, you stay
We cruise, we pray, then move, don’t stray
Stack bread, don’t loaf, now we on display
Livin’ high, gassed up, no time to delay
Pay too lay, gotta grind for the win
From the dark, from the pain, still ready to begin
See the light with my kin, ain’t no foldin’ within
Gotta hustle to the top, only way I’m gettin’ in
