Payoff Lyrics by Nerva

2020

Chorus

Before I'm buried in the graveyard
I gotta give it my all
I can't afford to fall ya'll
I know it'll pay off

Before I'm buried in the graveyard
I gotta give it my all
I can't afford to fall ya'll
I know it'll pay off [It'll pay off]

Verse 1

Time and time again
Gotta readjust my lens
I cannot put trust in men
They can't save me from my sin

Demons tryna get in my head
I'm not tryna hear what they're sayin'
Like the 5 foolish virgins
I just cannot let them in

I just need to concentrate
Jesus coming any day
All I see will fade away
All I have i cannot take

Focused on the spiritual
I know I'm just passing through

Chorus

Before I'm buried in the graveyard
I gotta give it my all
I can't afford to fall ya'll
I know it'll pay off

Before I'm buried in the graveyard
I gotta give it my all
I can't afford to fall ya'll
I know it'll pay off [It'll pay off]

Verse 2

They gone have to behead me
Ain't no way that I'm selling out
They may kill my body
My Spirit-man - they ain't breakin' down

I already know I can't stay
We all gotta go some day
They can have the money and the fame
If it's only me and the Lord I'm straight

From the dust i came to the dust i go
And the spirit live on second death no joke
But the Son of the Most High gives me hope
They can sleep if they want but I gotta stay woke

Got the Truth and the Truth supersede having loot
Cause the loot never outweighs having good fruit
Can't lose when I put faith in the good news
So in good ground I will keep plantin' these roots

Bridge

I just need to concentrate
Jesus coming any day
All I see will fade away
All I have i cannot take

Focused on the spiritual
I know I'm just passing through
And I'll be held accountable
For what I did and didn't do

Chorus

Before I'm buried in the graveyard
I gotta give it my all
I can't afford to fall ya'll
I know it'll pay off

Before I'm buried in the graveyard
I gotta give it my all
I can't afford to fall ya'll
I know it'll pay off [It'll pay off]

Outro

I know it'll pay off
I know it'll pay off
I know it'll pay off
I know it'll pay off
