Pay Me

Lookin at the clouds kinda spitting and storming As i fall through the sky at the top o the morning Got move through the world let me give you a warning Gotta fix it, change it Tear the sucker down rearrange it Strange, it never seemed impossible before you know? So just keep it up buck You might just get a fat lip Smack you back to the lack you felt back when you were smackin jack And every body always askin if it pays or not As if the only thing of value were a bank account And yet I value heaters steak and paid rent So i'm on another plane trying to make a dent I need to speed up to catch up i'm leavin myself behind Even i can't keep up with my mind So pay me (Pay me) Pay me (Pay me) What i'm worth And i'll think about art when i'm sheltered and fed Just Pay me (=ay me) Pay me (Pay me) I'll be high minded and pure as soon as i'm sure That i'm not about to end up dead Got you noddin like you got some parkinson's Pretty beats and the rhymes that i'm barkin son Bitin lines from the rain in the back of my brain And i'm fluffy like a big ol' tire chain Said i'm beatin my head against a big fat piece of lead When i see a little crack I step back and look at that Try to attack again do it til it caves in Watchin me run away Feelin kinda stuck Hangin dead from the bottom of a turnip truck Bump your head on the speed bumps Kinda like a drum Trailin blood in the mud from katy to houston Better give me What i need Or i won't be ok So pay me (Pay me) Pay me (Pay me) What i'm worth And i'll think about art when i'm sheltered and fed Just Pay me (Pay me) Pay me (Pay me) I'll be high minded and pure as soon as i'm sure That i'm not about to end up dead Now i ain't no pop star Ridin in a fancy red car Everybody know who i are Baby gonna take me too far But i been chokin to death since 75 When i first came alive What you think it's a joke? I've got to keep this habit fed On art i tread I need the bread So pay me (Pay me) Pay me (Pay me) What i'm worth And i'll think about art when i'm sheltered and fed Just Pay me (Pay me) Pay me (Pay me) I'll be high minded and pure as soon as i'm sure That i'm not about to end up dead --- Pay Me - Aaron J Trumm
