Anto Neosoul | Paid My Dues Lyrics | Video
Before the dawning
Before I’m yawning yeah
My phone is ringing
People smsing
Have you seen the blogs and the websites, facebooks posts and twitter
Somebody put you on a shooting spot
Begging for your blood its going down
He said this and he said that
Im told this and I’m told that
He walks like this and walks like that
Sings likes this and sings like that
I won’t forget where I’m coming from
And where I’m going you don’t comprehend. Ayay
Cause I’ve paid my dues
Paid my dues said I’ve paid my dues
Hakana ananitunza
Said I’ve paid my dues
Ni mungu tu ananidai
Keeping talking talking I’ll be winning conquering
When you walking walking I’ll be running far from you
I see you running running look above I’m in hello heaven look above
hello I’m in heaven now you see me now
you don’t a thousands years I give to you
Cure disease and forever to
For the earth the sun and moon give the world a
silver plateau but you and you and you you still hate on me
Cause I’ve paid my dues oh yes I’ve
Paid my dues said I’ve paid due
(?) Ni tuzo paid my dues oh yes I’ve paid my
dues said I’ve paid my dues in mungu tu ananidai 2x
Run run your mouth pacely doing the day
Merrily merrily Merrily usiku mtalala
Talala talala talalalalala
Causes I’ve paid my dues oh yes I’ve paid my
dues said I’ve paid my dues in mungu tu ananidai
