Paid in Paranoia by Slow Burn Society

Paid in Paranoia

Intro
Yeah… it’s heavy, feel the weight
Every dollar got a shadow, every move got a stake

Verse 1
Stacking paper, pockets on swole (yeah)
Cameras flash but they watch my soul
Every handshake, I’m counting the cost
Trust a thin line, get it wrong, you get lost
Enemies in suits, enemies in jeans
All eyes on me, living in their screens
Night drives, tinted glass, I’m ghostin’
Paranoia’s price, and I keep postin’

Chorus
Paid in paranoia, wealth got a price (yeah)
Every blessing comes with a roll of dice
Eyes in the shadows, whispers in the street
Can’t sleep at night ‘cause they watch my heartbeat
Money in my hand, but fear in my brain
Paid in paranoia, it’s the luxury chain

Verse 2
Loyalty’s currency, fake friends abound
Smile in your face while they dig the ground
Private jets, penthouse, but the phone won’t stop
Notifications like a ticking clock
Trust no soul, trust the grind
Keep my circle small, always aligned
Cash flow heavy, but the mind’s on edge
Walking on glass, life’s a razor ledge

Bridge
Every ally could be a threat (could be)
Every debt paid, they ain’t done yet (nah)
Movin’ silent, movin’ slow, never fake
Life’s a high-stakes game, every step I take

Verse 3
Luxury cars, tinted like my thoughts
Foes in my rearview, connectin’ dots
Safe in my mind, safe in my vault
But paranoia’s the price, that’s the final result
No vacations, no peace of mind
Every handshake’s a trap, every deal’s a grind
I earned it all, but I can’t relax
Every blessing comes with a shadowed tax

Outro
Stack it high, but watch your back
Every fortune got a traitor’s track
They see your shine, they want your lane
Paid in paranoia, and it’s all in the game…
