Pay your dues

x4
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take

Now everybody wanna rap
But nobody wanna work
Want their face on a shirt
Wanna make the bitches twerk
Wanna take over the earth
But the're afraid of the dirt
And they're scared of criticism
And getting their feelings hurt
Everybody want results
And they want it real quick
Wanna spit and have a label tell them that it's a hit
They wanna whip and wanna chick with some big fake tits
Want back to the future kicks
Hoverboard / space ships
Wanna be J Cole
Or maybe Kendrick Lamar
You can't duplicate it / replicate the make up of a star
But they copy their bars
No blood, sweat and tears
Frustrated they been doing this shit for two years
Want their songs on blogs
Got a whole attitude
Like a rap career appears quicker than fast food
Wanna go on tours
Wanna reap the rewards
But you can't win wars
If you never swung swords
You can't

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take

But how many heartaches
Must I stand before I find a love
To let me live again
Right now the only thing
That keeps me hangin' on
When I feel my strength, yeah
It's almost gone
I remember mama said

This is dedicated to instant gratification
Ya'll ain't really dope
It's just your imagination
You ain't never really moved a crowd and you can't
I'm a giant you a ant
You a fucking food stamp / i'm the champ
Like Jason Voorhees to your camp
We would kill the sound system and blow out the amp
And you'll never have a chance when they chanting my name
I can't explain when I drive your whole campus insane
Cause you never knew the times when hip hop was alive
I used to cop S&S tapes on 125
Dues paid, crews sprayed, dissing raps you made
This is Jonestown suckers must have drank cool aid
Motherfuckers never doubt it when i'm burning these mics
And i'm still feeling crowds cuz I earned these stripes
And there might be fist fights if you wasn't that nice
We used to walk up in the parties like Jedi knights
So what's love?
Studying Illmatic like the bible
I wanna drive vinyl
You'd rather to viral
As far as i'm concerned there will be no survival
Or the taking of my title
Cause i'm too homicidal
You can't

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
