Yeah![00:00:01]

It took a long time[00:00:03]

To get to it[00:00:06]

To a good spot[00:00:07]

But I weren't where I need to be[00:00:10]

Chorus[00:00:12]

10 whole years[00:00:12]

Finally breaking through[00:00:14]

Nobody gets a handout[00:00:16]

You've gotta pay your dues[00:00:18]

10 whole years[00:00:19]

Finally breaking through[00:00:21]

Nobody gets a handout[00:00:22]

You've gotta pay your dues[00:00:24]

10 whole years[00:00:26]

Finally breaking through[00:00:27]

Nobody gets a handout[00:00:29]

You've gotta pay your dues[00:00:30]

10 whole years[00:00:32]

Finally breaking through[00:00:34]

Nobody gets a handout[00:00:35]

You've gotta pay your dues[00:00:37]

Verse 1[00:00:38]

Ever since I wrote it, trying to get up on it, can't touch this with a ten foot pole[00:00:38]

To all my opponents, people have voted, next one up this elections closed[00:00:41]

I'm so bold, this I know, I don't need jewelry to prove that I'm cold[00:00:45]

Ya'll just go wherever the wind blows[00:00:48]

Talking 'bout each other so we never leave the door[00:00:50]

That's okay, it's alright now, I back here to shine a different light now[00:00:51]

Ya'll stay clear cause this one's bright now, it's my year, I can hear that hype now[00:00:54]

I never did understand it, why another hater when we so demanded[00:00:58]

Thinking I don't see 'em but I catch 'em candid[00:01:02]

Thinking they rough but they just got sanded[00:01:03]

Ya'll kept on pushing, and pulling me now I'm fed up[00:01:05]

Not one for groupies but this competitions got her leg up[00:01:08]

And now it's my time to shine, I'm passing my rhymes while you passing time[00:01:11]

I don't really care that I'm last in line, 'cause the last shall be first and I'm first to be live[00:01:14]

I might be small but I'll crawl and pull my weight[00:01:18]

You can see me how you see me until your pupils dilate[00:01:20]

There ain't no faking it, 10 years 'till I started making it[00:01:24]

Say money don't grow on trees but if it did I'd be there shaking it[00:01:27]

Chorus[00:01:30]

10 whole years[00:01:31]

Finally breaking through[00:01:32]

Nobody gets a handout[00:01:34]

You've gotta pay your dues[00:01:35]

10 whole years[00:01:37]

Finally breaking through[00:01:39]

Nobody gets a handout[00:01:40]

You've gotta pay your dues[00:01:42]

10 whole years[00:01:43]

Finally breaking through[00:01:45]

Nobody gets a handout[00:01:47]

You've gotta pay your dues[00:01:48]

10 whole years[00:01:50]

Finally breaking through[00:01:51]

Nobody gets a handout[00:01:53]

You've gotta pay your dues[00:01:55]

Verse 2[00:01:56]

It took me a minute but I[00:01:57]

Came back on the track, they love my[00:01:58]

Quick style, but I can't sleep now, ticking even quicker[00:02:00]

To the max, no shut eye[00:02:02]

Now it's time to spread like butter[00:02:04]

You can say you hate it, but there ain't no other[00:02:05]

Who's laughing now that I shut it all down[00:02:06]

I was born to do it you can blame my mother[00:02:08]

Now can't you see, they hate but it's jealousy[00:02:10]

I was writing raps just like them, when I was 16[00:02:12]

16 ya'll... no need for me to prove it 'cause it's in the pudding[00:02:16]

Bringing back the music to the way it should be[00:02:19]

You can stand against it but you've got no footing[00:02:21]

So if they constantly hate it better go and warn 'em[00:02:23]

I've got so many bars other rappers think that I'm a warden[00:02:26]

Off in the corner with their fingers pointing,[00:02:29]

Thinking I don't see 'em but just wait 'till morning[00:02:31]

Dawn of the day I'ma spring up from the underground[00:02:32]

Left the whole industry, tired of the run around[00:02:34]

Bet you hear my name when I come around[00:02:35]

Bet you feel my reign when the thunder sounds[00:02:37]

I can hang with you or the next, it's true then I guess[00:02:39]

I'm the best that you never found[00:02:41]

Not one to listen to hatred, but man I feel it[00:02:42]

I'm not violent but I'll write another verse just to kill it[00:02:45]

Chorus[00:02:48]

10 whole years[00:02:48]

Finally breaking through[00:02:50]

Nobody gets a handout[00:02:51]

You've gotta pay your dues[00:02:53]

10 whole years[00:02:55]

Finally breaking through[00:02:56]

Nobody gets a handout[00:02:58]

You've gotta pay your dues[00:03:00]

10 whole years[00:03:01]

Finally breaking through[00:03:03]

Nobody gets a handout[00:03:04]

You've gotta pay your dues[00:03:06]

10 whole years[00:03:08]

Finally breaking through[00:03:09]

Nobody gets a handout[00:03:11]

You've gotta pay your dues[00:03:12]

It's been a long while, but I just getting started![00:03:15]
