Paying My Dues, Adieu

Lyrics

[Verse 1: SkyBlew] Still on the chase Destiny plotting, forgotten how a meal really taste Quick bites all the time doesn't waste Working at a haste in my secret base Painting an oasis Closing whole cases Seasons pass, me and Autumn on a first name basis Check, it's kinda hard to stay and maintain perspective when I start to fade Sometimes I wanna throw it all away Feels like I'm running in place Endless maze, charades Are my words not worth praise and accolades? Wrestling with inner doubts, Jake The Snake Why they ignore the real, imitate the fake? I hate to wait, know my creators relate, word [Chorus: Donovan Harrell & SkyBlew] Paying my dues, I do Yeah, paying my dues, paying my dues Paying my dues, adieu Yeah, still paying my dues, look Pay dues, now it's time to make moves Dreaming of this since grade school, I'm Paying my dues, I do Still paying my dues, paying my dues Paying my dues, adieu Man, I'm done paying my dues, adieu [Verse 2: SkyBlew] Telling yourself your dream not a farce Limited support, now you're second guessing your art Spilling your heart for dimes and nickels But do it for the love, first it hurts a little, I know Still giving hope through quotes over melodies But if you ain't tripping for clout, committing felonies, drugged up, lying in your songs, chance of success is a reverie Living in a parody Fam chanting, "keep going, don't stop, this your legacy" Think I need therapy, man Look, but the feeling that I get when I touch lives makes it well worth the risk of failure My aim the stars, bon voyage, I mail ya Painting Blew,Skies Granny, I won't fail ya I'm about to snatch my respect Prove I'm one of the best But first, you know the rest [Chorus: Donovan Harrell & SkyBlew] Paying my dues, I do Yeah, paying my dues, paying my dues Paying my dues, adieu Yeah, still paying my dues, look Pay dues, now it's time to make moves Dreaming of this since grade school, and I'm Paying my dues, I do Paying my dues, paying my dues Paying my dues, adieu Man, I'm done paying my dues, look Paying my dues, I do Paying my dues, paying my dues Paying my dues, adieu Man, still paying my dues, check Pay dues, now it's time to make moves Dreaming of this since grade school, I'm Paying my dues, I do Still paying my dues, paying my dues Paying my dues, adieu Man, I'm done paying my dues, adieu [Verse 3: Allen Mask] Paying my dues, adieu Yeah, we got a lot of rules, that ain't news, I knew And it ain't all about the cruise I flew, y'all gonna see me grind [?] you always wanna see be climbed The masses come for me At last [?] comforts me And it ain't making money look perfunctory I'm here to thank God for giving me Thank y'all for feeling me Did it one day at a time Just keeping at it like a rerun I take a second when I need one And ain't enough to have a dream, you gotta feed one One time for the OGs and my first fans Tell 'em no fees What? You thought it was my first dance? But I'm two, three Man, I'm trying to do me Warming up with that California fragrant, toasted Consider my first payment posted
