Paid My Dues
NF

Yeah, I been through some stuff, but I'm lookin' back
I paid my dues, ain't nobody tellin' me I shouldn't rap
Tired of feelin' trapped, it's time to break free
This is me, this is who I'm meant to be

I got a vision, I got a plan
Every obstacle I face, I'm a stronger man
They say I won't make it, but I keep pushin' through
I got my eyes on the prize, knowin' that it's true

Yeah, I paid my dues
I paid my dues
Ain't no mountain too high, ain't no road too long
I fight for my dreams, can't go wrong

Every setback is a setup for a comeback
I stand tall, never fallin' off track
Even when it gets tough, I refuse to break
Motivation in my heart, no room for a mistake

I paid my dues
I face the fears that loom
I won't give in, I won't give up
I'm chasin' after what's in my soul

Yeah, I see the light, I've been stuck in the dark
Climbing my way up, igniting that spark
With every battle fought, I grow stronger each day
It's my time to shine, so get outta my way

I paid my dues
I paid my dues
Ain't only about the gold, but the journey too
With every scar, I know I'm getting closer to the truth

Yeah, I paid my dues
Yeah, I paid my dues
All these challenges I face, they only make me new

Yeah, I paid my dues
Ain't nobody can take that from me
The story's just beginning, wait and see

I'm ready for whatever, I'll fight for my throne
All this hard work, it’s what I own

'Cause I paid my dues
Yeah, I paid my dues
And now I'm standing tall, stronger than I knew.
