Dues Paid Lyrics

I gotta lace my boots up soldier

They need more numbers in the streets let's get the crew up soldier

I gotta fight and earn my stripes and pay my dues up soldier

It's time to suit up move out let's rally troops it ain't over

It ain't over 'til it's over war ain't won yet

Still got a little fuel in the tank left I ain't done yet

No time to run yet hold the fort down sunrise to sunset

And through the night shift tight grip I still got some fight left

Rough waters ahead gotta run a tight ship

Somebody always there to fall back on if someone might slip

Devil's in the details gotta read through the fine print

Make sure there's nothing hidden before I sign where the line is

Another contract binding in a system that's blinding

Designed to keep us separated the whole system divided

But like a glitch in the matrix the system can't override it

Nobody coming to save us I gotta be my own prophet

Gotta be my own savior gotta be the solution

I gotta do what it takes to separate truth from confusion

I get my strength from the pavement so every day keep it moving

I set the tone make a statement so every day keep improving

I gotta lace my boots up soldier

They need more numbers in the streets let's get the crew up soldier

I gotta fight and earn my stripes and pay my dues up soldier

It's time to suit up move out let's rally troops it ain't over

It ain't over 'til it's over war ain't won yet

Still got a little fuel in the tank left I ain't done yet

No time to run yet hold the fort down sunrise to sunset

And through the night shift tight grip I still got some fight left
