[Verse 1]
I decided long time ago
I would write my own chronicle
Sit around? That ain't me
Nor is following a lead
Let me build what I see
You know it starts with a piece
Give it time, let it breathe
Instead of suffocating crazy dreams

[Pre-Chorus]
(Hey) 'Til it starts paying off
(Hey) 'Til it starts paying off
(Hey) 'Til it starts paying off
(Hey) 'Til it starts paying off

[Chorus]
(Ah) And when it pays off, pays off
(Ah) It feels so good inside
(Ah) Screaming, "I told you, I told you"
And the only way it happened was mine

[Verse 2]
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 movеd my eyes
It takes a thousand triеs
'Til it starts paying off
[Pre-Chorus]
(Hey) 'Til it starts paying off
(Hey) 'Til it starts paying off
(Hey) 'Til it starts paying off
(Hey) 'Til it starts paying off

[Chorus]
(Ah) And when it pays off, pays off
(Ah) It feels so good inside
(Ah) Screaming, "I told you, I told you"
(Ah) Ain't happen any other way but mine
Never took days off, days off
(Ah) If they hated, now they want to die
(Ah) Finding that brick and where it goes to
So we keep stacking high, high, high

[Bridge]
Piece by piece, piece by piece
Piece by piece, piece by piece
Piece by piece, piece by piece
Piece by piece, piece by piece

[Chorus]
(Ah) And when it pays off, pays off
(Ah) It feels so good inside
(Ah) Screaming, "I told you, I told you"
(Ah) Ain't happen any other way but mine
Never took days off, days off
(Ah) If they hated, now they want to die
(Ah) Finding that brick and where it goes to
So we keep stacking high, high, high
[Outro]
Piece by piece, piece by piece
Piece by piece, piece by piece
