Pay Dues

Lyrics: Maurice Shadee Clarke/John Barnes Music: Fabrice Creestal Ferrando Pay dues, make moves, show and prove... you know the rules. Tie your shoes mother****er, tie your shoes mother****er
White girl wit' the black snake moan I'm finna take home Is she really wit' me Or in it for CM JONES CM JONES, CM JONES, CM JONES Naked pictures always end up in my phone Is it my occupation? The pigment of my skin Or is it just fascination? Find out, let's find out, find out My Mama told me b***h step ya game up I raised you better than that All that superficial shit don't be dwelling on that I'm just a young ass b***h Who just happen to rap With that Rosa Parks flow Get yo ass in the back It's all good My b***h it's all good From the burbs to the hood Still wish a b***h would, like I should How it better be Like If I die right now I guess that’s just my destiny I always keep a girl that come second like the letter B Keep that ass in my lap like Santa And then I Sway 'Cause I ain't got all the answers Yea I ain't got all the answers What?
[Blu] Some people pay dues, others break rules No matter what, we can’t walk the same shoes Since grade school, I knew to stay cool Not knowing it would later define the name Blu Age two I made due, age eight I drank brews Broke curfew, running out doing things you can’t do I say blame Hugh, he stayed true If they knew what I was doing they’d call me a straight jew Original habiru, my spiritual prelude Telling people im god, only on april fool’s 83 I came through, solo baby boom Out the womb rocking fruit of a looms, who would have knew Met a smooth cameroon one beautiful afternoon Last june, sitting on a half moon, mad rude Bad mood, blame it on the b*****s with attitudes Now I’m in a rap group, I used to shoot mad hoops Trying to go pro, but instead became a sad snoop Ask zeus, the angle on my ego is obtuse Leaving mics abused I’ve used the wrong tools But salute to all the hoes at shows, that ain't shit
