  • I decided a long time ago
    I would write my own chronicle
    Turn around, that ain't me
    No one's followin' the lead
    Let me build what I see
    You know it starts with a piece
    Give it time, let it breathe
    Instead of suffocatin' crazy dreams

    (Hey)
    'Til it starts paying off
    (Hey)
    'Til it starts paying off
    (Hey)
    'Til it starts paying off
    (Hey)
    'Til it starts paying off

    (Ah) and when it pays off, pays off
    (Ah) and it feels so good inside
    (Ah) and when I told you, I told you
    If the only way it happened was mine

    When it was time
    I got butterflies
    Don't look surprised, girl
    With a dream this size (yeah)
    Everythingseems so easy for other guys
    But I never moved my eyes
    It takes a thousand tries

    'Til it starts paying off
    (Hey)
    'Til it starts paying off
    (Hey)
    'Til it starts paying off
    (Hey)
    'Til it starts paying off
    (Hey)
    'Til it starts paying off

    (Ah) and when it pays off, pays off
    (Ah) it feels so good inside
    (Ah) and when I told you, I told you
    (Ah) there ain't been any other way but mine
    Never took days off, days off
    (Ah) if they hated, now they want to die
    (Ah) finding a break and where it goes to
    We keep stackin' high, high, high

    Piece by piece, piece by piece, piece by piece, piece by piece
    Piece by piece, piece by piece, piece by piece, piece by piece

    (Ah) and when it pays off, pays off
    (Ah) it feels so good inside
    (Ah) and when I told you, I told you
    (Ah) there ain't been any other way but mine
    Never took days off, days off
    (Ah) if they hated, now they want to die
    (Ah) finding a break and where it goes to
    We keep stackin' high, high, high
