PAYCHECK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is the first song that I ever recorded
Check it out
Hey! Aye, aye, aye!
I got all this money but it's not what makes me happy
Used to be so cocky, but that's now all just the past me
Speakers loud, roof is down
Cheesing for the picture
I'm a winner, got no worries now
I been chilling in the back of the class
With a pack on my back
And my mind in a May-back
I'm afraid that I'm too laid back
I don't study, but I make Grade-A rap
'Lil shawty and she wanna throw it way back
Got a bit of rock, and a little bit of jazz
And a little bit of top, and a little bit of racks
And a little bit of smile, and a whole lotta laugh (Aye!)
I kick back, you know that my rap kicks
I been smiling for so long I might need chap-stick (Aye!)
I ain't talking to you fakes, these brothers plastic (Yuh!)
Kill a verse, and they put me on the blacklist (Brr, Aye!)
I got all this money but it's not what makes me happy
Used to be so cocky, but that's now all just the past me
Speakers loud, roof is down
Riding through my city now
Cheesing for the picture
I'm a winner, got no worries now
I got all this money but it's not what makes me happy
Used to be so cocky, but that's now all just the past me
Speakers loud, roof is down
Riding through my city now
Cheesing for the picture
I'm a winner, got no worries now
Why they coming for my neck? (Aye!)
I'm just trynna do my best (Yuh)
I ain't ever signed a check (What?)
But a brother know he blessed (Huh, Brr!)
Imma go cop some shoes at the thrift
Honda Civic from '02
With your boo, yea that's my lift (get your boo back)
I be flexing thats a Walmart on my wrist
30 dollars (30 dollars?)
That's the price of my whole fit (Aye, brr!)
You got Gucci on your jacket and I'm laughing
Passing boof I ain't gone have it
Yuh the truth is what I'm rapping (Aye!)
I got all this money but it's not what makes me happy
Used to be so cocky, but that's now all just the past me
Speakers loud, roof is down
Riding through my city now
Cheesing for the picture
I'm a winner, got no worries now
I got all this money but it's not what makes me happy
Used to be so cocky, but that's now all just the past me
Speakers loud, roof is down
Riding through my city now
Cheesing for the picture
I'm a winner, got no worries now
I got some things on my mind that I think would be better off said in a song (Aye!)
Beat my addictions, and beat my depression
I'm winning against all the odds (Uh!)
Pride got the best of me
I was a sinner, a player, I fell to the ground
They told me I won't make it; I took it and made something greater
I'm lost, but I'll know I'll be found
Say it now, they gonna know the name
I'm a hard hitter on the road to fame
I was feeling down, so I wrote a page
Kill the beat leave it in a murder case
She gonna want me when the lights down (Uh!)
Yeah, I'm feeling it right now (Yuh!)
Ascending up to new heights now
Smile for the photo, bite down (Brr!)
I got all this money but it's not what makes me happy (Aye!)
Used to be so cocky, but that's now all just the past me (Get it loud!)
Speakers loud, roof is down
Riding through my city now (Uh!)
Cheesing for the picture
I'm a winner, got no worries now (Nah!)
I got all this money but it's not what makes me happy (Aye, yuh, huh?)
Used to be so cocky, but that's now all just the past me (Run it up!)
Speakers loud, roof is down (Skrr!)
Riding through my city now
Cheesing for the picture
I'm a winner, got no worries now
(Aye, aye, aye, yeah, ha!)
Bro, that was my first song
The next one? (Mhmm)
You know what I'm saying? (Haha!)
In Paycheck's song "No Worries," he shares his personal journey from a place of arrogance and pride to a state where money isn't what makes him happy. He acknowledges that he was once cocky and now recognizes those traits as his "past me." The rapper is now content with his success, enjoys riding through his city with the music blasting and no worries. He is aware that he might be perceived as lazy and complacent, but he has worked hard to get where he is and chooses to live his life with no regrets.
Paycheck speaks about his experience in school, where he was content with sitting in the back and isn't one who studied much. However, he still managed to achieve academic success through his music, which he describes as "Grade-A rap." He enjoys different music genres such as rock, jazz, and the Top 40, which he incorporates in his music. Even though he is content with his success, he is aware of the hurdles he faced: addiction, depression, and negative opinions from others. He had to beat these obstacles and take control of his narrative to make something great out of his situation.
