Pay For It
Jay Rock ft. Kendrick Lamar Lyrics

Ain't no game, I'm taking all you have
This is not a game, I am taking everything you possess

And you're gonna pay for it
You will be held financially responsible for my actions

I don't know if I can stop myself
I am not sure if I can prevent my behavior

And you're gonna pay for it
You will still be responsible for the consequences

Oh, you'll never learn
You refuse to change your ways

I touch fire, little burn
I have experienced negative consequences from my actions

This ain't no game, I'm taking all you have
This is not a trivial matter, I am seizing all of your possessions

It's a heavy load, I stole on a bumpy road
I have taken on a difficult burden after committing a crime

No jacket when I was cold, becoming one with my soul
I have had to endure hardships and learn to rely on myself

Stand tall and toe with my foes, these wolves in sheep clothes
I stand up to my enemies who disguise themselves as friends

No weapon on me, should prosper, nigga, you better watch it
I am not afraid of harm because I am protected by a higher power

You playin' with fire, burning you slow, hold up
You are engaging in dangerous behavior that will ultimately harm you

I hear the whispers wishin', it's all cheap voodoo
I am aware of the false rumors and malicious intentions towards me

I keep it cool to keep from going coo-coo
I remain calm to avoid losing my composure

With a cal, aiming at fake smiles and turn them upside down
I am prepared to use my weapon against those who are not genuine

Came too far for my feet to fail me
I have come too far in life to give up or fail

Lord, if I'm wrong you can help me now, hold up
I ask for divine guidance in my life decisions

Wait a minute, what am I sayin'?
I need to reconsider my previous statement

The Devil he busy, tryna get me everyday in every way
I am constantly tempted and tested by negative influences

I won't let up, I won't shut up
I am determined and refuse to be silenced

You can't stop me, you won't knock me, ten-four now copy
You are unable to halt my progress or weaken my resolve

Live almighty, my declaration been written
I live with power and my intentions have been made clear

In hieroglyphics on top of the highest mountain, I listen
My message has been permanently etched in history and I remain attentive to my surroundings

I tell 'em all hail King Kendrick, resurrecting my vengeance
I proclaim myself as a superior figure, reviving my desire for payback

Been dissecting your motormouth until I break down the engine
I have been analyzing and criticizing your words until I expose your flaws

This ain't no warning shot, this a relevant henchman
I am not issuing a mere warning, I am a critical enforcer

See my opponent then, cease your existence
When I encounter my adversary, I will cause their demise

Endin' our friendship, baby, I'd rather die alone
I would rather be alone than associate with fake friends

Your diaphragm is dietary, what you eatin' on?
I question the substance and value of your words

Capture your audience with these words, boy
I impress and captivate my listeners with my speech

The holy Chapel, the tabernacle
I reference sacred religious spaces in my lyrics

The book of Matthew and Jesus starin' at you, take your turn, boy
I reference biblical figures and convey a message of judgement

See it's going to take a whole lotta ya'll to kill me
It will require a significant effort to defeat or silence me

See it's going to take a whole tribe of ya'll to kill me
My resistance and determination cannot be overcome by a few individuals, it requires a collective effort

I never die
I am indestructible and my legacy will live on

My pedigree apparently only to idolize
My lineage is worthy of admiration and respect

Ahead of me is only my future and idle time
The only things that lie ahead for me are my upcoming opportunities and moments of leisure

Longevity, I gotta get used to making you mine
I must adapt to achieving long-lasting success

You tellin' me I only get used to livin' if fine
You claim that the only way to enjoy life is through material wealth

You can never live in my shoes, permanently paid from God
You cannot fully understand my experiences and blessings come from a higher power

When the sun goes down, I scream loud and sleep when I die
I live life to the fullest, expressing myself without fear and resting only in death

But I will never die, my legacy is alive
Even after my physical passing, my impact will endure

I die to get it off my chest, push words just like weight
I am passionate about expressing myself and conveying my message

Tragedy turn to triumph, I'm tryin' just to relate
I aim to connect with others through my own struggles and victories

Jumpin' off of them towers, I'm takin' that leap of faith
I am willing to take risks and trust in my abilities

Roadblock in-front of me, look I'm runnin' through it
Even when faced with obstacles, I refuse to give up or be deterred

Stick and move it, sippin' that Hennessy, this my gutter fluid
I am able to adapt to my surroundings and find comfort in my environment

Now when I speak, they pupils, they'll dilate
My words captivate and intrigue my listeners

Through speakers'll vibrate
My music will resonate and leave an impact

Know you feelin' the vibe, that vine couldn't relate
The energy and atmosphere I bring cannot be compared to anything else

This next clip is long, a sun of a gun, big numbers
My next move or project is ambitious and will yield significant results

Do the math now, cover the sum
Calculate and analyze the outcomes, it will all add up

I come from the slums, we come for the funds
I come from a disadvantaged background and strive for financial success

Like run it
I am determined and eager to achieve my goals

Under the sun where niggas livin' they life blunted
In the harsh and unforgiving reality of life where many individuals live in a daze

Countin' the ones, but truthfully nothin' like hundreds
While some may boast about their wealth and possessions, it is often exaggerated or not as significant as it seems

Keep it 100
Be truthful and honest, always keeping it real

What we lost we gone make it back
We will recover from our losses and regain what we once had

Like it wasn't missin', now listen, you bout to pay for that
We will act as if we never lost anything and make you pay for your mistakes and shortcomings

Oh, you'll never learn
You refuse to change your ways

I touch fire, little burn
I have experienced negative consequences from my actions

This ain't no game, I'm taking all you have
This is not a trivial matter, I am seizing all of your possessions

And you're gonna pay for it
You will be held financially responsible for my actions
