Lyrics

Pay Off vs. The Struggle

Get off my back
Get off my back

The lies, the cheats, they multiply
I'm finding it hard to quantify
The biggest pieces in my puzzle
It's the payoff versus the struggle

Get off my back
(Say it like you mean it)
Get off my back

The apple in the eye
Or the worm that lingers inside
It's hard to complete my puzzle
It's the payoff versus the struggle

Get off my back
Get off my back
Get off my back
Get off my back

The lies, the feels that's calling far
I'm finding it hard to quantify
The biggest pieces in my puzzle
Is the payoff versus the struggle

Get off my back
Get off my back
Get off my back
Get off my back

When I get to where I wanna be
It's gonna taste much better
Lord, through all the struggle
It's gonna taste much sweeter
Than if you had it all on a plate or on a silver salver
Lord, it's getting better
It's getting better and better

I, I, just want you, I just want you to, I just want you to
Get off my back
Get off my back
Get off my back
Get off my back
