It Pays Big by Mightynite Lyrics

First press play, then we’ll play
It’s the same old game, just cut, next frame
Shakespeare first, then Molière
Tragedy to comedy, an act so raw to me
Start your flow, it’s your show
‘else it’s paycheck, rain check, your own shipwreck
Hands on deck, it’s mic check, say
‘This is me for you to see, a gift, just pay your fee.’

And I’ll remember your face
But I’m not coming home
‘Cause I’m stuck in this place
Where it pays big to roam

Break stage right, missed that flight
Now it’s airport naps, short break, next port
Who are you? Just ask the mirror
Stake it out and fake ‘em out, next city break it out
Time for rest, did your best
Now you move it, groove it, fast, prove it
She cries out, listen, hear her
Celebrate, initiate, live once, appreciate
And I’ll remember your face
But I’m not coming home
‘Cause I’m stuck in this place
Where it pays big to roam

Feeling real, that’s your deal
But I can’t keep, ‘cause what you reap is
What you sow, so back up, step down
Keep from drowning, I can’t take much more
I hope you know, you caused this flow
Of words and heart and broken dreams
But my fault lies in what I chose
You wait for me, I’ll keep you here

And I’ll remember your face
But I’m not coming home
‘Cause I’m stuck in this place
Where it pays big to roam
