​paid my dues Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus: Takeoff]
Had to call my accountant to make sure a nigga wasn't tripping
I done ran up a check, looking like a nigga doing fitness
Late night, back of the club, searching and fishing
I went back to the Glock 'cause everybody talking 'bout switches

[Chorus: Roddy Ricch]
If I said I fuck with you, I fuck with you
When they pile up that money on money on money on money
We see what these niggas do
I ain't never gon' run, you know I ain't holding my tongue
For these niggas, I tell the truth
They say I'm a young nigga and I keep it too solid
You know I done paid my dues
You know I done paid my dues

[Verse: Takeoff & Roddy Ricch]
I look at my phone and see what bitch I'm finna hit
I scroll and pick and choose
Roddy and Take', they know they ain't safе
So I suggest that you play it cool
They let us in and gavе us the space to win
So how could a nigga lose?
Been having money, I came out the womb
To having that shit on in middle school
Year after year, gotta keep it coming
Keep the wardrobe and the wheel new
When all of these hoes see how me and Take' move
It get crowded, I take two
And I'm knocking that bitch down on the first date
I ain't never gotta take two
I got hoes on hoes on hoes on hoes
They swing on each other like Babe Ruth
I go to Fashion Week sitting on the side with a double cup
I got a sweet tooth
All-white Rollie Sky-Dweller, and the face K.C. Blue
Plain Jane gold presidential, I got yellow rings, look like Pikachu
Look in my garage, this ain't no facade
They got different eyes when they peek at you

[Pre-Chorus: Takeoff]
Had to call my accountant to make sure a nigga wasn't tripping
I done ran up a check, looking like a nigga doing fitness
Late night, back of the club, searching and fishing
I went back to the Glock 'cause everybody talking 'bout switches

[Chorus: Roddy Ricch]
If I said I fuck with you, I fuck with you
When they pile up that money on money on money on money
We see what these niggas do
I ain't never gon' run, you know I ain't holding my tongue
For these niggas, I tell the truth
They say I'm a young nigga and I keep it too solid
You know I done paid my dues
You know I done paid my dues

[Outro: Roddy Ricch]
Still getting—
Still sipping on the lean like I'm motherfuckin' pimping
Driveway loaded than a bitch
My driveway loaded than a bitch, nigga
My driveway loaded than a bitch, nigga
My driveway loaded than a bitch, nigga
