✍️ FULL LYRICS 📌 Hook (Anthem, chant-like) Pay where you lay, lil’ bro, that’s the way, If you live in someone’s house, then you gotta earn your stay. Clean up, show respect, don’t be in nobody’s way— If you moochin’ off your people, how you ever gon’ create? 📌 Verse 1 Yeah, you work for every penny, so you know how hard it hit, But that don’t mean you stack your funds while someone else payin’ rent. Grown life ain’t a playground — it’s rules and commitments, You want freedom? Start with discipline and bein’ consistent. If they let you crash a while, that’s a blessing, not a bond, So don’t take advantage, don’t be sloppy, don’t be wrong. Keep your hygiene sharp — no excuses, stay clean, Ain’t no grown man or woman should be smellin’ like a teen. Respect they property, respect they peace, Don’t be peekin’ in they room, don’t invade they space. Speak when spoken to, keep boundaries in place — That’s how you earn your stripes in this grown folks race. 📌 Hook (Repeat) Pay where you lay, lil’ bro, that’s the way, If you live in someone’s house, then you gotta earn your stay. Clean up, show respect, don’t be in nobody’s way— If you moochin’ off your people, how you ever gon’ create? 📌 Verse 2 Save your money, stack that bread, keep your head on your grind, Don’t be buyin’ flashy things when rent ain’t paid on time. If you can’t handle responsibility inside a borrowed place, How you expect to handle rent when the bills hit your name? This that fatherhood wisdom, that OG flame, Ain’t nobody owe you nothin’, earn your lane. You want independence? Start makin’ moves, Cuz “grown” ain’t an age — it’s the habits you choose. Be grateful, be humble, be early, not late, Be the type of guest that helps elevate. And when you finally level up with your own damn key, You’ll look back and say — “These rules built me.” 📌 Final Hook (Bigger / layered) Pay where you lay, lil’ bro, that’s the way, If you live in someone’s house, then you gotta earn your stay. Clean up, show respect, don’t be in nobody’s way— If you moochin’ off your people, how you ever gon’ create?
