Pay Ya Dues Lyrics - Snoop Dogg

Now here we go, y'all gotta play this 

(Why?) 'Cause the others are so scared to say this 

Now tell me, what am I supposed to do 

About a sucker like you who ain't never paid dues? 

Slapper, hip-happer, you're gettin' wacker 

Your girl better step, or I just might jack her 

Smack her like a gangster, but I don't bang 

I gank suckers like you for thick gold chains 

(He don't deserve it) Hell nah 

So take it off your neck 

'Cause Goddamn, you ain't comin' correct 

What's this, a sucker duck holdin' a mic? 

And like Keith Sweat said, somethin' just ain't right 

Seems nowadays everybody wanna be a rapper 

Down wit' crews 

But they ain't never paid dues 

Suckers perpetratin', playin' hardcore 

Punks, I bet you worked at a flower store 

You know what eats me up the most? 

Is when a sucker just started and thinks he's high post 

You ain't pay a nann due in your life 

Talkin' 'bout a new style, you know who you sound like? 

KRS, Chuck D, Kool Moe, as one 

Yellin' on the mic like ya name was Run 

You'se a peon, went and bought a pair of Lee's 

Now all of a sudden you supposed to be an MC? 

Yo, that's wack, it just ain't right 

You only stood on one stage in your whole damn life 

Now you want respect, hey yo, you'se a fool 

Everybody wanna rap, but they ain't paid dues

NEW SONG: Machine Gun Kelly - 'Candy' Lyrics feat. Trippie Redd 

I can still remember way, way back in the days 

The times me and Aladdin dreamed of gettin' paid 

Standin' outside just to pull in the jacks 

To earn a little money to drop a dope track 

Back in the days I drove a raggedy Dodge 

Couldn't afford a studio, so we used a garage 

Aladdin used to grab a gang of disco breaks 

One turntable and a broken 808 

My little brother Tunes and Frank, they hung around all night 

To make sure that the demo was tight 

Didn't have an enigneer, if you know what I mean 

Aladdin did it all at the age of 16 

Gifted, uplifted, straight gangsta Mack 

Suckers had me playin' the back 

But thanks to Ice-T I got my foot in the door 

Now I'ma rock the mutha-(uh) till it ain't no more 

We paid dues 

Photos 

I knew a brother who used to dress just like a faggot 

Real tight jeans, some boots and leather jackets 

Homie as hell, he never came outside 

'Cause everytime I came around, he used to run and hide 

Spoiled like a brat, had everything he wanted 

And when he walked, he switched like a woman 

Rode a pink bike, man, the sucker was soft 

Had to be in before the street lights came on 

Yo, just the other day I turned my radio on 

The Mack Attack kicked on a brand new song 

I didn't know what it was, I never heard it before 

But the record was smooth and hardcore 

I said to myself, "Hey yo, I gotta see this group." 

So I called up Aladdin and the rest of the crew 

Grabbed the nine wit' the hollow point tip 

Stepped in the party with a gangster limp 

Took a look at the stage, and yo, whaddya know? 

The same old faggot from a long time ago 

From real tight jeans and the go-go boots 

He went to Pendeltons and a khaki suit 

Now tell me, ain't this a blip? 

Somebody need to slap the perpetrator in the lip 

Yesterday he was a mamma's boy, now he's rappin? 

Foolin' the crowd because he got you all clappin' 

And tappin', an example of what I'm tryin' to prove 

A sucker like this who ain't never paid dues 

So to those who wanna rap, I'm pertainin' to you 

Before you pick up a mic, you gotta pay dues, word 

Let the story be told 

That's the way it is 

You got to pay yo' dues 

Low Profile definitely in the buildin', ya dig?
