paid my dues

• ing. cezamı çektim, bedelini ödedim arasında bir anlamı olan tümce.
• (bkz: we are the champions) birinci mısra
• anastacia'nın ikinci albümü freak of nature'ın çıkış parçası.. dandik bi klibi olmasına karşı güzel bir parçaydı.. ne yazık ki ilk albümünün aynısı sözler ve müzik içeriyordu..
• jaded heart yorumu şarkıya bambaşka bir hava katmıştır. helluva time albümünden dinlenebilir. ya da şu şekilde: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crntla2etn4
• hayatıma giren en önemli şarkılardan birisi. öyle ki; şarkının ilk zamanları sabah 7'de kalkıp okul servisini beklerken mtv'de muhakkak bunun klibine denk geliyordum. o klibi izleyip okula gidince de genelde günüm güzel geçiyordu. artık bir yerden sonra en büyük amacım sabahları bu şarkının klibini izlemek falan olmuştu. şimdi youtube'da çat diye izleyebiliyorum ama mtv'de bunu yakalamak müthiş zevkti ya. şarkıya kendimi nasıl kaptırdırysam freak of nature albümünü de evdekilere zorla aldırtmıştım. koskoca albümde sadece tek bu şarkıyı dinlesem de yıllardır en ufak bir sıkılmışlığım bile yok.
• hakkında 1 (yazı ile bir) adet bile yorum bulunmayan harika anastacia parçası.
  
  sözlükte kimsenin ilgisini çekmemiş olması ilginç.
  
  zamanında tv başında klibinin çıkmasını beklemiş, akabinde bir pc sahibi olunca da bol bol loop'latmış, bokunu çıkarana kadar dinlemiş bir suser olarak beni buraya bir iki satır karalamak zorunda hissettirmiştir bu durum.
  
  ama sanırım parçanın çıkış döneminde ^* buralar hep dutlukmuş. ondan mütevellittir diye tahmin ediyorum.
  
  ama hadi diyelim öyle, sonra da kimse merak edip açıp bakmadı mı arkadaş? yoksa ben mi fazla abartıyorum? neyse, çoksel parçadır. dinleyin, dinletin.

• exposure adlı yazara katılıyorum. on numara şarkıydı. ama anastacia maalesef ülkesi abd'den çok avrupa'da bilindiği için gerekli tanıtım yapılamadı.

  [verse 1]
  clicks, clicks, clicks, they'll do anything to get a few
  tick, tick, tick, that's the sound before my head explodes
  quit, quit, quit, look at you up on your pedestals
  quick, quick, quick, here the critics come, it's time to go
  ı read your article, it kinda hurt me
  ı don't know who hired you or what your friends say in your circle
  but the fact that you released it tells me two things are for certain
  they get paid for trashin' people, ı get paid 'cause ı stay workin' (yeah)
  dropped the search and they emerge up outta nowhere to the surface
  just to peek behind the curtain, throwin' salt at all my burdens
  ı'm aware ı shouldn't give this my attention, life's a journey
  ı should just stay on my path and learn to laugh, you think they heard me?
  ears are burning, put 'em out, quiet, quiet, look around
  why don't they find someone way more interesting to write about?
  us, we're kinda boring, aren't we? all we do is whine and pout
  ıt's confusing, so amusing how ı argue with myself
  hello
  
  [verse 2]
  ı spit it with ease, so leave it to me
  you doubt it, but you better believe
  ı'm on a rampage, hit 'em with the record release
  depend on the week, ı'm prolly gonna have to achieve
  another goal, let me go when ı'm over the beat
  ı go into beast mode, like ı'm ready to feast
  ı'm fed up with these thieves, tryna get me to bleed
  they wanna see me take an l, yep, see what ı mean?
  how many records ı gotta give you to get with the program?
  taken for granted, ı'm 'bout to give you the whole plan
  open your mind up and take a look at the blueprint
  debate if you gotta, but gotta hold it with both hands
  to pick up the bars, you gotta be smart
  you really gotta dig in your heart
  ıf you wanna get to the root of an issue
  pursuin' the mental can be dark and be difficult
  but the pay off at the end of it can help you to get through it, ayy
  
  [chorus]
  paid my dues, made it through (woo, woo, woo)
  spread the news, ı'm on the loose (woo, woo, woo)
  makin' moves, ı need some room (woo, woo, woo)
  thought we's cool, well, don't assume, don't assume, ayy
  
  [verse 3]
  ı'm the truth, oh, they want some proof? here, don't be rude
  somethin' new, even when ı lose, ı make it look cool
  do the show, then we hit the room, wife is lookin', oh
  what to do? ı don't need the shades up to like the view (yeah)
  ıt's time to get back in the swing of things
  when my life crashes, ı'm not the guy that'll flee the scene
  ı'll take ownership and own it and raise my hand if it's me
  just remember though, ı'm only a man, ı'm a human being
  don't they see? shoot the breeze, ı'd rather just stay discrete
  people claim they're in your corner, but leave you in times of need
  they don't listen, do they? (what?) they don't listen to anything
  ı'll accept advice if it's not presented ignorantly
  look, costs are high, they multiply
  then cause divides, ı'm forced to fight
  the poison ı been sippin' on has quite the bite, it killed me twice
  they rigged the lights so y'all can see
  the parts of mine that aren't so bright
  see, often ı apologize, then authorize the awful times
  to pop up (nate!) like ı'm right behind you
  ı'd advise you not to try to climb inside the mind like ı do
  keep the rhyme book, expedite it, overnight it
  hold it tight and hope that time is on my side
  'cause if it's not, then ı'll decide to override my own demise
  ı tow the line too close and ı could improvise
  ı'd empathize, but recognize
  the fact that ı could jeopardize and wreck our lives
  you better give me your attention, the undivided
