[Intro: Iamsu!]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
When the birds touch down
Payola, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Payola, yeah, ayy, ayy

[Verse 1: Iamsu!]
Payola, pay to play
I'm in Bathing Ape, invading space
She got her own (She got her own), that's her saving grace
Hot man, hop in the thang and scrape (Skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, skrrt)
Payola (Payola, payola), ayy, yeah (Yeah)
Those were the days, but they over (Finito), yeah, yeah
Ayy, payola
I remember hopping out Corolla (Yeah)
I know if I'm really into her, I'ma spoil her (Yeah)
Bought a crib in Georgia, but I'm in California
You're very recognizable, but don't nobody know you (Huh?)
Bitches like the 'Nolia, I hop out with my Juvie (Uh)
Walk inside that building, it turn into a movie (Go)
Drive the whip in sport mode, fuck around and lose him
Whip is looking ruthless and I don't make excuses (No)
Exclusive, keep her in exclusive
And I don't play my old shit, too busy makin' new shit (Huh?)
Exclusive, keep her in exclusive
I don't play my old shit, I'm gettin' that payola (Payola), yeah (Payola), yeah
Those were the days, but they over (Finito), yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Payola
[Interlude: Skipper & Iamsu!]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, mmh
Payola

[Verse 2: Skipper]
Got it fucked up if you think this shit over (Fuck?)
I don't make mistakes I used to make because I'm older (Yeah)
Phone still jumpin' like a n***a takin' orders (Brrp)
Tryna stack hundreds like a motherfuckin' hoarder (Stack)
I can't pay a bitch, where I'm from, that's extortion (That's extortion)
Smokin' on some Crush, Berries got me out of orbit (Bye)
Put it in her tummy, fuck around and hit an organ (My bad)
I don't ever force shit, I be on some Porsche shit (Skrrt)
Shawty sent an essay to my phone and I ignored it (Fuck?)
Always keep a pair and a spare like I'm Mormon (I do)
Looked at my life and that shit ain't too normal (Uh-huh)
Shit, based on my goals, I can't stop 'til I'm mogul (Yeah)
Still on my shit, I can't stop, I'm too focused (No)
Played my position, now shit goin' global (Global)
Chip on my shoulder as big as a boulder
It ain't no payola, that mean it's game over

[Outro: Iamsu!]
