Paid My Dues
Z-Ro

Ya call yourself a hustler

Thirty-years-old and still try'na move a fifty pack

Little Honda Civic with big speakers in the back

Me I'm still a hustler but my product is changed

I went from selling crack cocaine to uncut Ro-cain

This Ro gain ain't for receding hair line

That means every dollar that come in front of me goin be mine

Y'all arguing over corners, I'm taking over town

So whatever I hustle I could never be out of bounds

Out of five conrads they say they down with me

Four want me dead but don't want me to take my fortunate in the ground with me

Scheming they plot but don't even know what I got

Cause whatever it is I'm doing I seem to have it on lock

None of my baby mommas hated to see me come up

Cause I took care of all the children when the times were tough

That's what the real hustler do, bring the baking home

Not try'na buy rims that cost more than the car that'cha put em on


Y'all fellas ain't paid no dues

Y'all just hustle for shoes and 22's

Not taking care of your kids, y'all out there doing it big

Like you got something to prove

I know you think your the man, you got a lil fifty grand

And think ya doing the food

But what'cha can't understand is how money flowing in and out of my hands

Cause I done paid my dues


I remember when my hustle was the jack you

Then exchange your property for some Benjamin's and some Andrew's

Hell yeah I was loving it cause I was making my cheese

But it didn't feel real good once it started happening to me

I was reaping what I was sowing, that was that hater-ism

I hated to see my pants pockets without some paper in em

What'chall know about 72 from 9 in the week's time

Without working with a weapon I was winning but what was mine

Serious was the game I didn't play with it

Even if the clu clux clan wanted to buy it, I was on the way with it

I don't smoke crack it's to easy for me to sell

But you hustle like Bill Clinton, you smoke it but don't inhale

I was taking money to my Annium, they used to take care of me

It was time for me to take care of them

Unlike a brother that come up and forget about all his folks

And be the main one try'na come back and kick it when he go broke


Y'all fellas ain't paid no dues

Y'all just hustle for shoes and 22's

Not taking care of your kids, y'all out there doing it big

Like you got something to prove

I know you think your the man, you got a lil fifty grand

And think ya doing the food

But what'cha can't understand is how money flowing and out of your hands

Cause I done paid my dues


Uh, It don't matter how much that, it don't matter how much for this

Put it on my neck and my wrist

White ones, red monkey's and a blue? meoshay?

Got fifty people waiting just to do what Z-ro say

King of the ghetto entertainment is the drug dealer

City to city sending the story of a thug nigga

My cup run it over and I'm thankful

I won't do nothing hazardous just wish man go break bread with tazardous

Re-vanity, lust, the main three thangs that it'll make you end up in the dust

Ya seven sins that women and men commit 24/7

Ya better watch it or get 187

Most of y'all just be talking loud begging for attention

I ain't even gotta say nothing than I'm a name they won't forget to mention

When I take my last breath, then I'm a part of the past

Bury me upside down so all of y'all can kiss my ass

I'm a hustler


Y'all fellas ain't paid no dues

Y'all just hustle for shoes and 22's

Not taking care of your kids, y'all out there doing it big

Like you got something to prove

I know you think your the man, you got a lil fifty grand

And think ya doing the food

But what'cha can't understand is how money flowing and out of your hands

Cause I done paid my dues
