Текст песни Pay the Man - Remix - Foster the People , JID , Saba

(Whatcha mean? Whatcha mean? Whatcha mean? Whatcha mean?)
(Whatcha mean? Whatcha mean? Whatcha mean? Whatcha mean?)

Look, I had a reoccurrin' dream really teasin' my mind
A search for a better purpose to be perfectly in line
A serpent is walkin', a surface is swervin', it's spewing lies
I find, I'm watchin' my belt, I'm wastin' my time
I swung high off the sky, from a tree to the vine
To land on my feet, devious but dealin' with pride, I need a-
I need a breather to catch up on my second wind and speed up
Running from Hell, a speed demon
A cell, a key jingling, jingling, jingling, a gun, bang bang
They bang, you slain, insane, they playing they game
I've been prayin' for things money could never buy
Like live and die as a man, a coward dies a thousand times
I'm outta sight and outta mind, I'm outta mind but don't mind it
Salvagin' the silence 'til the cavalries arrivin'
Balancin' a climate moving forward, lookin' up and then behind us
If you love me, I can lead you where the light is

Say what you love, it's alright
Don't be afraid to find your light
Embrace the day, like night
We hear the fire, we all go wild again
And you have the name of someone I love
You said, just keep it true
Lift up your name, seasons change
You know it'll never be the same
We'll see the sun again, and before it fades
I just wanna say that I love you

Pay the man, pay the man
Look, run from my past like I run track, it's traumatic
My palace is Polamalu, I'm grounded like getting sacked
And I race demons like NASCAR, no assistance like NASCAR
One step forward, two steps back watch when I'm at war

And when it's raining
We're sailing (At war)
Oh yeah, we're sailing
We're sailing
I'm off the leash
I go to war for peace

I sleep with an eye open like I'm an ocular
I'm the opposite of a carper with carpal tunnel
Ain't never took a handout
No tunnel vision to it got my planned route
Like a cockroach in an ant farm I'ma stand out
Clock'll tick like a doggy dancin' for foggy lantern
How I look for light when recordin' stanzas, you know the answers
Uncharted area, the pressure's no better medley
Yet here I am, fallin' right where blind men led me

Say what you love, it's alright
Don't be afraid to find your light
Embrace the day, like night
We hear the fire, we all go wild again
And you have the name of someone I love
You said, just keep it true
Lift up your name, seasons change
You know it'll never be the same
We'll see the sun again, and before it fades
I just wanna say that I love you

(Pay the man, pay the man)
(Pay the man, pay the man)
You got to pay the man, pay the man
You got to pay the man, pay the man
I was laughing real hard 'til my teeth fell out
Was laughing real hard 'til my teeth fell out
Was laughing real hard 'til my teeth fell out
Need a little somethin', need a little somethin'

You said, just keep it true
Lift up your name, seasons change
You know it'll never be the same
We'll see the sun again, and before it fades
I just wanna say that I love you

Can't you see, can't see me
Can't see me, can't see me
And can't see me, can't see me
We all run when the light comes on
Am I wrong, for wanting it all?
But I warned you
