Paid My Dues
The Jackie Boyz

Oh oh
Oh ho ho ho
Oh

[Verse 1: Carlos]
(J) is for the jobs, working over time
(A) always on the grind
(C) is for the cries, eyes close when you died
(K) is for the king I wanna be
(I) is for independently, making it here when nobody would hear me
(E) for everything I live to tell
(B) is for the brothers that I feel, for the one thing that's close to me Stevie and [?]
(O) is for the only God I love
(Y) is for the years that are gone
(Z) is for the song that I'm in (because I)

[Hook:]
Cause Paid my Dues to be here(to be here)
I fought through these years (fought through these years) and I'm standing right here
Cause Paid my Dues to be here(I paid)
I fought through these years
And I'm still right here(Yeah yeah)

[Verse 2: Steven]
(J) is for the Jackie in me
(A) is for my abilities
(C) is for cold, I lost half of my soul but
(K) is for the killer hustle
(I) is for the instant struggle
(E) is for everyday waking without your face
(B) is for my future little boy
(O) is for so many open doors
(Y) is for yesterday, came so far with your grace
(Z) is for the zip code we left, not looking back
Carrying our b on my back
Got the whole South on our back (ay)

[Hook:]
Cause Paid my Dues to be here(my dues)
I fought through these years(years) and I'm standing right here
(Cause I paid, hey)Cause Paid my Dues to be here
I fought through these years(I fought through these years)
And I'm still right here

[Verse 3: Affion]
I believe I really paid my dues
So I spell my family name with attitude
But the gratitude I feel is crazy dude
I'll fulfill your legacy
I'm making moves
But the price I had to pay ain't fair at all
So I'm praying that my heart can bare it all
When it feels like nobody cares at all
I know God will hold me if I dare to fall
(A) is for the awsome way you raised a man
Always down to raise my hand take a stand
(F) is for the family and all the friends
(F) is for forgiving sin
(I) is for I paid my dues to be here
(O) is for the obstacle that made me talk to you in heaven
(N) is for never forgetting

Cause I paid (oh) my dues to be here
I fought through these years
And I'm standing right here(standing right here)
Cause I paid my dues to be here
I fought through these years
And I'm standing right here

Cause I paid my dues yeah
