Paid My Dues Chords by Nf

[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ [F#] _ _ _
[E] Click, [Em] click, click, they'll do anything to get a few.
Tick, tick, tick, that's the sound before my head explodes.
Quick, quick, quick, look at you up on your [E] pedestals.
Quick, quick, quick, hear the critics come, it's time to go.
I [Em] read your article, it kind of hurt me.
I don't know who hired you or what your friends say in your circle, but the fact that you
released it tells me two things are for certain.
[E] They get paid for trashing people, I get paid because I stay working.
[Em] Drop the circle, they emerge, about it, nowhere to the surface.
Just a peep behind the curtain, throwing salt at all [C] my burdens.
[Em] I'm aware I shouldn't give this my attention.
Life's a journey, I [E] should just stay on my path and learn to laugh.
You think [Em] they heard me?
Ears are burning, put them out.
Quiet, quiet, look around.
Why don't they find someone way more interesting to write about?
Us, we're kind of boring, aren't we?
All we do is whine and pout.
[E] It's confusing, so amusing how I argue with myself.
Hello.
I spit it with D's, so leave it to me.
Thought it, but you better [Em] believe.
I'm on a rampage, hit them with the record release.
I'm penning a weave, but probably gonna have to achieve another ball.
Let me go when I'm over the beat.
Now going to beast mode like I'm ready to [B] feast.
I'm set up with D's, Steve's trying to get me to bleed.
They wanna see me digging [Em] out, yup, see what I mean?
How many records you gotta give you to get with the program?
Take it for granted, I'm about to give you the whole plan.
Open your mind up and take a look at the blueprint.
Debate if you got it, but gotta hold it with both hands.
Look at the bars, you gotta back march.
You really gotta dig in the heart if you wanna get to the root of an issue.
In the middle, gonna be dark, gonna be difficult.
But the path to the end, I'm digging every to get through it.
I made my dose, made it through.
Spread the notes, I'm on the loose.
Make it moves, I need some room.
[G#] Always [Em] cool, we're doing the song, doing the song.
I'm the truth, oh they want some bro fear.
Don't be rude, something new.
Even when I lose, I make it look cool.
Do the show, then we hit the room.
[F#m] Life is looking [E] old, like the dough.
I don't need to say something like the real.
[Bm] It's time to [E] get back in the swing of things.
When my life crashes, I'm not the guy that'll flee the scene.
I'll take ownership and own it [F#] and raise my hand if it's me.
Just remember though, I'm only a man, I'm a [Em] human being.
Don't they see?
Breeze, I'd rather just stay discreet.
People claim they're in your corner, but leave you in times of need.
They don't listen, do they?
They don't listen to [F#] anything.
I'll accept advice if it's not presented [Em] ignorantly.
[E] Look, the bars are high, they multiply, they cause divides,
I'm forced [Em] to fight the poison I've been sipping on.
It's [E] quite the bite, it killed me twice, they bring the light.
[Em] So y'all can see the parts of mine that aren't so [E] bright.
So often I apologize and authorize the awful times to pop up.
[B] Like I'm right behind [Em] you, I'd advise you not to try to climb inside the mind like I [E] do.
Keep me rhymebook expedited, [Em] overnighted, hold it tight and hope the time is [E] on my side.
Cause if it's not, then I'll decide to override my own demise.
I told the line to close and I could improvise.
I'd empathize but recognize the fact that I [B] could jeopardize and record lives.
You better give [E] me your attention or you'll undervide my dose.
Made it through, [Em] woo, woo, woo.
Spread the news, I'm on the loose.
Make it move, I need [A] some room.
[E] Always cold, well don't assume, don't assume.
[Em] Made my dose, made it through, woo, woo, woo.
Spread the news, I'm on the loose.
Make it move, I need [Am] some room.
[Bm] Always [E] cold, well don't assume, don't assume.
