Title: "Ea-Nasir (Pay What You Owe)" [Intro] Yeah… You thought I’d let this slide, huh? Been too long. Too many broken deals, too much disrespect. You played with the wrong one, Ea-Nasir. Let me talk to you real quick. [Verse 1] I sent my runners to your house, you ain't come to the door Said you got copper for the low, but your measure was short Told me quality was certain, swore that metal was pure Now I'm standin' here heated 'cause you lied in the store Shiny words, but your product stay dull Took my silver, then you vanished like a thief in the hull I ain't here for the games, I ain't here for the bull I need that weight in full, don't test my pull—nah Tryna finesse me with scraps? Boy, you got me mistaken Merchants talk in the square, say your whole name forsaken Contracts sacred in the land, that's the code we was raised in Now you playin’ with the gods—better hope you awaken [Verse 2] Mudbrick walls couldn't block what’s due You can run, you can hide, but the truth cut through I put trust in your hands, now I'm callin' my crew Might just post up at your gates till you pay what's due Hittin’ temples, makin’ deals, but your word ain’t shit Your whole name turned to dust, they don’t trade with a snitch And I’m laughin’ at your scribes, writin’ letters that twist Tryna spin it like I’m crazy, but the facts still hit Tell me how you sleep at night with them debts so deep? How you speak of the gods when your measure ain’t keep? How you deal with the kings but your hands so cheap? Gotta balance the scales ‘fore your fate repeat—yeah [Chorus] Pay what you owe, I ain’t here for the cap Weigh that metal right, bring the silver right back You been dodgin’ all your debts, now the city know that Ain’t no future for a fraud, man, the ledgers don’t lack Pay what you owe, I ain’t here for the cap Weigh that metal right, bring the silver right back You been dodgin’ all your debts, now the city know that Ain’t no future for a fraud, man, the ledgers don’t lack [Verse 3] This ain't just about the copper, it's about your soul It's about the code that we live by, history told Sumer stand on foundation, strong men don’t fold So when the gods write your story, what’s left to behold? I seen cities fall to liars, whole dynasties wrecked You just one man, but your name ain't got no respect I ain't the only one vexed, word travel like debts Better make it right quick ‘fore your time reflect [Bridge] Oh, Ea-Nasir, your name rings foul in the wind Oh, Ea-Nasir, will your gods forgive your sins? Oh, Ea-Nasir, your house made of broken clay Oh, Ea-Nasir, time gon’ make you pay [Chorus] Pay what you owe, I ain’t here for the cap Weigh that metal right, bring the silver right back You been dodgin’ all your debts, now the city know that Ain’t no future for a fraud, man, the ledgers don’t lack Pay what you owe, I ain’t here for the cap Weigh that metal right, bring the silver right back You been dodgin’ all your debts, now the city know that Ain’t no future for a fraud,
