[Chorus]

Yeah, I see them checks is coming, I ain't even getting paid

But I know it's coming, I'm preparing how I can

In this 'cause I love it, seeing lives and how they've changed

All from what I'm writing, putting power in their veins

If they're gonna play them games, they don't stay around me

I ain't never played no games, I get my bread, I'm outtie

[Verse 1]

Look, mhm, yeah

Familiar faces, but no one looks the same when

I remember seeing them last, wonder what changed them

Girls that usеd to curve me now are еager to get a taste since

I focused on the core of what's me and never lane switched

I been patient, can't keep up with the pace then

I can't risk a thing that'll put me in second place, I'ma win

Say I changed to make yourself feel okay 'cause within

You ain't okay with the situation you're in, but you won't change

[Pre-Chorus]

Asking God to save your life

Without trying things you like

Think it's timing with no grinding, like, shit, find a place in life

Look behind the mask you wear

You gon' find everything there

That's how I did it, now I won't stop 'til I get it, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

I see them checks is coming, I ain't even getting paid

But I know it's coming, I'm preparing how I can

In this 'cause I love it, seeing lives and how they've changed

All from what I'm writing, putting power in their veins

If they're gonna play them games, they don't stay around me

I ain't never played no games, I get my bread, I'm outtie

Mmm

[Verse 2]

I ain't done everything right

But it's cool, I'm right here

Living, learning 'cause it's life

Not everyone's sight clear

Had to choose for me what's right

Sacrificed and I cried tears

If I had to give my life

I'm giving it right there

I don't say that acting like I ain't never been tested

Life was like a blade moving closer 'round where my neck is

Shit was wearing thin, but by God I knew I'm selected

Only job I have is to get me to where I'm destined

[Pre-Chorus]

No one's flawless

Nothing's promised (Yeah, ooh)

If I'm honest, I can't wait for the day I say

[Chorus]

I see them checks is coming, bro, you know I'm getting paid (Paid)

Bitches tryna love me, but I only want the face

Get it how I want it, they do anything I say

I've been tryna get to it, baby, know I don't play

If they're gonna play them games, they don't stay around me

I ain't never played no games, I get my bread, I'm outtie (Yo, yeah, um)

[Verse 3]

Your career lasted as long as a conjugal visit

Viagra in my blood, fuck the game up long as I'm living

Tryna make M's and flip 'em 'cause all I know is W's

Took some L's 'cause I'm loyal, life loves to let lovers lose

Now they telling me I'm different and I changed up (Changed up)

I'm just focused more on the things that ain't changed on me

No longer caged up, they're scared 'cause they know I'm dangerous (Dangerous)

My heart and soul is for those ain't never went fake on me

[Pre-Chorus]

I can't let their words cut me too deep

I know they hurting deep inside themselves

They take it out on those that think like me

[Chorus]

I see them checks is coming, I ain't even getting paid (Yeah)

But I know it's coming, I'm preparing how I can

In this 'cause I love it, seeing lives and how they've changed

All from what I'm writing, putting power in their veins (Ooh)

If they're gonna play them games, they don't stay around me (No)

I ain't never played no games, I get my bread, I'm outtie

Mmm
