[English]

I decided a long time ago

I would write my own chronicle

That ain't me

Nor is following a lead

Lemme build what I see

You know it starts with a piece

Give it time, let it breathe

Instead of suffocating crazy dreams

Till it starts paying off (Hey)

Till it starts paying off (Hey)

Till it starts paying off (Hey)

Till it starts paying off (Hey)

Till it starts paying off

And when it pays off, pays off

It feels so good inside

Screaming I told you, I told you

And the only way it happened was mine

When it was time I got butterflies

Don't look surprised, girl

With a dream this size, Yeah

Everything seems so easy for other guys

But I never moved my eyes

It takes a thousand tries

Till it starts paying off (Hey)

Till it starts paying off (Hey)

Till it starts paying off (Hey)

Till it starts paying off (Hey)

Till it starts paying off

And when it pays off, pays off

It feels so good inside

Screaming I told you, I told you

Ain't happen any other way but mine

Never took days off, days off

If they hated now they want to die

Finding that brick and where it goes to

So we keep stacking high, high, high

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

And when it pays off, pays off

It feels so good inside

Screaming I told you, I told you

Ain't happen any other way but mine

Never took days off, days off

If they hated now they want to die

Finding that brick and where it goes to

So we keep stacking high, high, high

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Whoa
