Gates Lyrics by Paycheck

2018

[Intro: Dom Soto]
*Laughs*
I'm back
Hang on
Gimme a second
*Coughs*

[Verse 1: Dom Soto]
(I win that)
I win everyday
Because I have you (true)
Waking up next (to you)
That's a W
Cause I'm taking a dub, and not a loss
I'm waking up, I'm sipping water
Straight out the voss
Popping from UNC to App
Used to call my girl and tell her make it clap
But I got my mind set on the game like the trap
First the city, then the state
Then across the map (ayy)
Cause like a baby starting small (go back like 10 seconds)
Ya gotta walk before you crawl
W-w-wait or do you flip it
I don't know I'm sipping
I don't know, I guess I'm just so high that I be tripping
I don't know you bitches, so I put you in the kitchen
Now you gotta go, and now you gotta listen cause
Oh my god, man he's coming with words (true)
Oh my god, man he's coming with birds (brr)
Wait, no the hell I'm not
Cause I can't risk getting caught
Yeah my flow is just so hot
Watch me go and get the drop

[Hook: Dom Soto]
Cause when you realize everyone is great
Gotta get rid of all of this hate
Cause we all in the world just floating in space
And when I die, tell the Lord to open up the gates
Can't wait to see those gates start shining
But until then I'mma keep on flying
And when I go, a new baby be crying
But until then Paycheck keep on rhyming

[Verse 2: Paycheck]
I'mma keep on rhyming
Keep on flying
G-g-going to the top
If it knock me I'mma climb it
Tell her what I want
She gonn' do it like I’m Simon
Clean-clean flow
Billy Mayes making it shining (yeah)
Got a chill rhyme scheme
Still don’t like me
Wanna know the chances of me losing?
It’s unlikely
You a Lil Tike compared to me
Wanna know if you prepared to see
What me and Dom been cooking up back in the lab
Ain’t talkin bout the meth
I’m talking bout collabs, on collabs, on collabs
On features, on features
Tell the fakes back off, I don’t want the leaches
Tell me I won’t reach the top, but you always false preaching
Do not try and come back when you see that I have reached it

[Hook: Paycheck]
Cause when you realize everyone is great
Gotta get rid of all of this hate
Cause we all in the world just floating in space
And when I die, tell the Lord to open up the gates
Can't wait to see those gates start shining
But until then I'mma keep on rhyming
