Paid Dues (The Reunion)
Life changes since the old days how we all used to be
The before in dreams and bad jewerly
The class can't learn till a student teach
I gave a lecture on a stupid speech
Back in the days the ill spoke and riding ATV's
Performing on TV there were JPB
It was 4 years ago seemed like so long
In the addict smoking coming up with dope songs
Never knew I'd be a star back then
I was trying to get money for a car back then
I just wanted to recall back then
Never had alot to do we was born back then
Autumn days in the shadow land 7 tickets getting shows
We was trying to tell the world we was an extra blow
Even beef with some dudes up in Canada
Had a little battle spill our boars in the camera
We stayed up late making mixtapes
That we gave out trying to get our name out
Doing shows no one knew us
They would boo us, knew that when we grew up
They be asking for a verse I'm blowing back duchess
Still got love from my dudes on rap molly
Man that ground was tough we wasn't getting far
Still roll up to shows with more cars then people in attendance
Most of the people they were people we was friends with
We passed shit but it got expensive when we couldn't sell tickets
Wasn't doing much but trying to be the illest
At your crib smoking weed and rap
Grinding hard, 'cause music we believed in that
We had some differences yes, but for real we've been blessed
You the homie man I wish you the best

Paid dues
Paid dues, we gon' make y'all feel this
Kiss lips and spit the real
I remember way,way back in the days
Every aspect is vivid, the ill spoken
Paid dues, we gon' make y'all feel this
Kiss lips and spit the real
Drop flows at this hop for sure
I never thought that we would make it up this far
Life in times when we reach out
First out the weed jar , run up like a seesaw
Been 3 years since we dropped this song
Got me thinking about them days that we talking on
Stay me and my pals late till we passing out
Just tryin' to face an age and we passed the law
My mom's house point breeze no sound
Circle around smokey oh we blow back porch out
Now we're still in high school when I was in the day job
Afterward we make a forth track till it stay jaw
Most of the cats hating two faced one face off
Story's like ey sup, boy till you face off
And from the fantasy you getting on
We had the talent to drive like we just can't go wrong
Can't forget our first video from edit raw
Quality was really raw but them kids was really hard
We make a catch like we block the grease
Nowadays you couldn't miss me like the cost is risky
Dreams turn to business ,business turn to papers
Turn to pages of a book and watch as it turns in something major
Always puttin a label even if they try to label us
With elements to change the game call the labels up
And we was naive probably got so loaded up business for the quality
From freestyle we kneel to watching you up on TV studying how a beat done
You my man , seen a real up and down the starter
Second hand give me you need to respect the rhyming
And when you sound the restroom
You made me realize this shit wasn't really not even lost
No bridge that I ain't crossing
When we so can among capricorns until the castle gone
