Saba & No I.d. Paygrade Demo Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was on the avenue with a one-day bus card, playin' hooky from my college
Chasing one that's hard to get but, niggas still got it
Had to do somethin' about it... hm
Sent a souvenir, uprooted
Like a flower that you grew and then repot it
Look, they gon' take the recipe, re-rock it
I'm from where it's barely a recoil if they shot it
I was lucky all my lessons kept me guarded
Either God got me or a clover in my pocket
Either way, a blessin' just took form in my pocket
Mmm... (Yeah)

[Chorus]
If all else fails (Fails) at thе end of the day (Day)
This could be thе song (Song) you play... hmm (Play)
You want yours (Yours) in every way (Way)
And this could be the song (Song) you play... hmm (Play)
You want it now (Now), and don't wanna wait (Wait)
But certain shit above ('Bove) your paygrade (Grade)
Need a dollar short and a day late
Had to take the five-dollar attitude and make change

[Verse 2]
Like a credit bureau payment, I just had to make due Watch from the side, that was all that they did
Post-game conference when they ask what they do
TV on mute, I ain't tryna hear it (No!)
Don't wanna put the work in, but you want the champagne
Might sweat until I'm shirtless, but it wasn't raining
Might sign this shit in cursive, I'm in need of my check
I gamble with my life and haven't lost a bet yet

[Bridge]
Why I feel this way, I
Might not ever know why
Just know blessings take time
Yeah, uh

[Chorus]
But if all else fails (Fails) at the end of the day (Day)
This could be the song (Song) you play... hmm (Play)
You want yours (Yours) in every way (Way)
And this could be the song (Song) you play... hmm (Play)
You want it now (Now), and don't wanna wait (Wait)
But certain shit above ('Bove) your paygrade (Grade)
Need a dollar short and a day late
Had to take the five-dollar attitude and make change
