[00:01.25] Yeah!
[00:03.20] It took a long time
[00:06.23] To get to it
[00:07.97] To a good spot
[00:10.72] But I weren't where I need to be
[00:12.03] Chorus
[00:12.76] 10 whole years
[00:14.76] Finally breaking through
[00:16.41] Nobody gets a handout
[00:18.05] You've gotta pay your dues
[00:19.74] 10 whole years
[00:21.44] Finally breaking through
[00:22.88] Nobody gets a handout
[00:24.39] You've gotta pay your dues
[00:26.13] 10 whole years
[00:27.68] Finally breaking through
[00:29.47] Nobody gets a handout
[00:30.83] You've gotta pay your dues
[00:32.57] 10 whole years
[00:34.26] Finally breaking through
[00:35.71] Nobody gets a handout
[00:37.26] You've gotta pay your dues
[00:38.45] Verse 1
[00:38.99] Ever since I wrote it, trying to get up on it, can't touch this with a ten foot pole
[00:41.98] To all my opponents, people have voted, next one up this elections closed
[00:45.25] I'm so bold, this I know, I don't need jewelry to prove that I'm cold
[00:48.49] Ya'll just go wherever the wind blows
[00:50.14] Talking 'bout each other so we never leave the door
[00:51.93] That's okay, it's alright now, I back here to shine a different light now
[00:54.87] Ya'll stay clear cause this one's bright now, it's my year, I can hear that hype now
[00:58.36] I never did understand it, why another hater when we so demanded
[01:02.04] Thinking I don't see 'em but I catch 'em candid
[01:03.59] Thinking they rough but they just got sanded
[01:05.54] Ya'll kept on pushing, and pulling me now I'm fed up
[01:08.27] Not one for groupies but this competitions got her leg up
[01:11.86] And now it's my time to shine, I'm passing my rhymes while you passing time
[01:14.81] I don't really care that I'm last in line, 'cause the last shall be first and I'm first to be live
[01:18.35] I might be small but I'll crawl and pull my weight
[01:20.99] You can see me how you see me until your pupils dilate
[01:24.27] There ain't no faking it, 10 years 'till I started making it
[01:27.66] Say money don't grow on trees but if it did I'd be there shaking it
[01:30.56] Chorus
[01:31.01] 10 whole years
[01:32.40] Finally breaking through
[01:34.05] Nobody gets a handout
[01:35.66] You've gotta pay your dues
[01:37.52] 10 whole years
[01:39.11] Finally breaking through
[01:40.70] Nobody gets a handout
[01:42.35] You've gotta pay your dues
[01:43.90] 10 whole years
[01:45.50] Finally breaking through
[01:47.09] Nobody gets a handout
[01:48.53] You've gotta pay your dues
[01:50.34] 10 whole years
[01:51.88] Finally breaking through
[01:53.48] Nobody gets a handout
[01:55.07] You've gotta pay your dues
[01:56.03] Verse 2
[01:57.38] It took me a minute but I
[01:58.78] Came back on the track, they love my
[02:00.52] Quick style, but I can't sleep now, ticking even quicker
[02:02.46] To the max, no shut eye
[02:04.00] Now it's time to spread like butter
[02:05.45] You can say you hate it, but there ain't no other
[02:06.85] Who's laughing now that I shut it all down
[02:08.40] I was born to do it you can blame my mother
[02:10.04] Now can't you see, they hate but it's jealousy
[02:12.73] I was writing raps just like them, when I was 16
[02:16.47] 16 ya'll... no need for me to prove it 'cause it's in the pudding
[02:19.38] Bringing back the music to the way it should be
[02:21.37] You can stand against it but you've got no footing
[02:23.22] So if they constantly hate it better go and warn 'em
[02:26.06] I've got so many bars other rappers think that I'm a warden
[02:29.41] Off in the corner with their fingers pointing,
[02:31.15] Thinking I don't see 'em but just wait 'till morning
[02:32.70] Dawn of the day I'ma spring up from the underground
[02:34.15] Left the whole industry, tired of the run around
[02:35.84] Bet you hear my name when I come around
[02:37.64] Bet you feel my reign when the thunder sounds
[02:39.12] I can hang with you or the next, it's true then I guess
[02:41.78] I'm the best that you never found
[02:42.77] Not one to listen to hatred, but man I feel it
[02:45.27] I'm not violent but I'll write another verse just to kill it
[02:48.40] Chorus
[02:48.60] 10 whole years
[02:50.45] Finally breaking through
[02:51.95] Nobody gets a handout
[02:53.59] You've gotta pay your dues
[02:55.14] 10 whole years
[02:56.84] Finally breaking through
[02:58.34] Nobody gets a handout
[03:00.03] You've gotta pay your dues
[03:01.57] 10 whole years
[03:03.36] Finally breaking through
[03:04.95] Nobody gets a handout
[03:06.56] You've gotta pay your dues
[03:08.25] 10 whole years
[03:09.90] Finally breaking through
[03:11.33] Nobody gets a handout
[03:12.89] You've gotta pay your dues
[03:15.76] It's been a long while, but I just getting started!
