NF - Paid My Dues (Lyrics) Chords

_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] Click, 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 pedestals.
[B] Quick, quick, quick, hear the critics come, it's time to go.
I [Em] read your article, it kinda 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.
They [B] get paid for trashing people, I get paid cause I stay working.
[E] Drop the search and they emerge, about [Em] of nowhere to the surface.
Just a peek behind the curtain, throwing salt at all my burdens.
I'm aware I shouldn't give this my attention.
Life's a journey, I should just stay on my [E] path and learn to laugh.
You think they heard me?
Ears are burning, put [Em] em out.
Quiet, quiet, look around.
Why don't they find someone way more interesting to write about?
Us, we're kinda boring, aren't we?
All we do is [E] whine and pout.
[B] It's confusing, so [E] amusing how I argue with myself.
Hello.
I spit it with D's, so leave it to me.
[Em] Doubt it but you better believe.
I'm on a rampage, hit em with a record release.
I'm penning a week, I'm probably gonna have to achieve.
Another call, let me go, when I'm over the beat.
Now going to be small like I'm ready to feast.
[B] I'm fed up with these thieves, tryna get me to bleed.
They wanna see me digging out, yup, see what [Em] I mean?
How many records I gotta give you to get with the program?
Take it for granted, I'm about to give you the whole clan.
Open your mind up and take a look at the blueprint.
Debate if you got it, but gotta hold it with both hands.
Check at the bars, you gotta be smart.
You really gotta dig in the heart if you wanna get to the [B] root of it.
It's a puzzle in the middle, baby.
Don't make me difficult, but the [Em] payoff's the end of it.
Can't help it, just get through it, ayy!
I'm on my dose, made it through.
Spread the notes, I'm on the loose.
_ Make it most, I need some room.
[F#] Always cool, we're doing the song, doing the song.
[Em] Ayy, I'm the truth, oh they want some pro fear.
Don't be rude, something new.
Even when I lose, I make them look cool.
Through the show, then we hit the room.
Life is looking [B] old, what to do?
I don't need the shade, something like [E] the view.
Yo, it's time to get back in the swing of things.
When my life crashes, I'm not the guy that'll flee [F#] the scene.
I'll take ownership and own it and raise my hand if it's me.
Just remember though, I'm only a man, I'm [Am] a human [Em] being.
Don't they say, I should decrease?
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 anything.
[B] I'll accept advice if it's not presented ignorantly.
[E] Look, bars are high, they multiply, they're not the same. _

_ I'm a _ _ _ man of my [Em] word, _ _ I'm a man of my word.
I'm a man of my word, I'm a man of my word.
I'm on the loose, _ making moves, I need some room.
Always cool with Dona's room, Dona's room.
Made my dose, made it through.
_ Spread your nose, I'm on the loose, making moves, I need some room.
_ [B] Always cool with Dona's room, Dona's [E] room.
