thebandknives - Pay Up

First off fuck all that talk about how I'm privileged
When the heat was off I thought about nothing but the nights frigid
Cold behold I'll be the King of the North with an ice picket fence
For defense in a sense you see my fence aint got no white in it
Born innocent without a cent why couldn't I picket
I'm talking bout lines when you talking bout mine well you can get right in it
They used to talk about my life and the way that I live it
Now they wanna ride in it but they gotta buy tickets

Basics back to the basics 
Cracking the glass when I pass 
Feel the bass hit
Dealing what I'm dealing 
Brought the ceiling to the basement 
Feeling what your feeling got you kneeling 
Better face up
Say what all gotta pay up
Lost you an arm and a leg that's a pay stub
Homie gonna cost you to stand up and say something
I'ma be the boss or the man that'll take from him

I'ma be the boss or the man that'll take from him
I'ma be the boss or the man that'll take from him

Fuck history they all dead
You won't see me stuck in the idol minds of old men
You wont see me sucked of my will to survive on the road head
Well you can suck my will while I drive on some road head
Cus I'ma need my both hands when I drive by like a '64 low Chev
Or when I ride high and I'm up over your head like I'm 6'4
But I'm 5'4 going backwards is a .45 that's loaded got it pointed up at your forehead
cnd I clap words like "I don't owe you my life" now go head
Mother fucker that's the only way I blow heads

Basics back to the basics 
Cracking the glass when I pass 
Feel the bass hit
Dealing what I'm dealing 
Brought the ceiling to the basement 
Feeling what your feeling got you kneeling 
Better face up
Say what all gotta pay up
Lost you an arm and a leg that's a pay stub
Homie gonna cost you to stand up and say something
I'ma be the boss or the man that'll take from him
I'ma be the boss or the man that'll take from him
I'ma be the boss or the man that'll take from him

Now we back again
New child paying for the past again
But I make my path like last of kin
Cant take no flask that pathogen
Old bastards always wanna pass the sin
They still drunk and laughing in their caskets
Damn guess I missed they ass with the .45
So I pop the trunk and grab the Gatling like
I got nobody but me at the bottom see
Gotta be smarter to be who I want to be
Got to be honest to free up that part of me
Fuck then the Gatling jammed
Real quick gotta fix the shit
Click Click now it's back again
I got nobody but me at the bottom see
Gotta be smarter to be who I want to be
Got to be honest to free up that part of me
Caught up in everyones need for apologies
Leader or follower see I don't follow no lead
I'm no borrower leacher or martyr or teacher
So why are you following me
When your dreams need of a follower

I'm going
Basics back to the basics 
Cracking the glass when I pass 
Feel the bass hit
Dealing what I'm dealing 
Brought the ceiling to the basement 
Feeling what your feeling got you kneeling 
Better face up
Say what all gotta pay up
Lost you an arm and a leg that's a pay stub
Homie gonna cost you to stand up and say something
I'ma be the boss or the man that'll take from him

I'ma be the boss or the man that'll take from him
I'ma be the boss or the man that'll take from him
I'ma be the boss or the man that'll take from him
I'ma be the boss or the man that'll take from him
I'ma be the boss or the man that'll take
