Pay Attention Lyrics

Came in with all this money
I know that they all want it
But you're the one who gets it
Should've paid more attention

I should be paying more attention to you

Shit, smoke and mirrors, dollar bills
Flexin' for no reason, get it how you live
Crack a ceil, bottle poppin' on another level
Red light special, she ain't selfish, workin' with no discretion
Twistin', turnin', my mind blown and her mind gone
She slow rollin', ain't no ho in her time zone
Face right, stage lights turn her out
Act like she the only one in here
That can twerk for real and that's without a doubt
Like damn, DJ, run that back
I think that was her song and she don't know how to act
Like damn, all night, I been with it
All night she been gettin' it, all night she been winnin'

I should be paying more attention to you

All this money being thrown
All these lights shinin'
Don't none of that shit outshine you
Ya already know, let go

Toot it up, turn ya out
Show out when you show up

Toot it up, turn ya out
Show out when you show up

(Came in with all this money)
And everybody know it, chain still glowin'
Kick it with my folk that ain't been here before
Thought I seen everything I can see on the low
Wish I seen from the door that you the best of the best
Make a broke motherfucker thumb through a check
I ain't really trippin' on ya homegirl, she was in her own world
Shawty, I'm just hopin' you next to show up and show out
Ya make it hard for me just to roll up and roll out, to be honest
You the type of chick a nigga search for when he have to go out
Spotlight, night life, live in V.I. every weekend
I ain't trippin' on a busta that really ain't nothin'
I'm hopin' you down for the creepin'
Like damn, super throwed, kill the po
The whole club had to show you love
The way you toot it up and get it off the floor
Like damn, tell me you know you the greatest
Ain't a chick in the V.I.P. that can shine like this
Baby girl, you know you made it

I should be paying more attention to you

All this money being thrown
All these lights shinin'
Don't none of that shit outshine you
Ya already know, let go

Toot it up, turn ya out
Show out when you show up
Toot it up, turn ya out
Show out when you show up

I ain't trippin' on this shit I got right here
Just tryna make it happen in the club, ya feel me?
But you the baddest chick in this motherfucker
I was slippin' but I'm here now, what happening?
Let go, let go, let go, let go

I should be paying more attention to you

Toot it up, turn ya out, show out when you show up

I should be paying more attention to you

Pay Attention Song Chart

Over Jim Jonsin's bubbly soundscape, this song finds a love-stricken Big K.R.I.T. fixated on one lady in the strip joint. Guest vocalist Rico Love croons on the hook: "I should be paying more attention to you." Speaking with with Respect magazine., K.R.I.T. explained how the song came about: "I had the opportunity to go down to Miami and work with Jim Jonsin and his team of producers, Zac and Finatik," he said. "Also, at the same time I wanted to be able to get in with Rico and work because Jim Jonsin and Rico have this musical relationship where it's cohesive and they work in a way that's organic and it was a blessing to be able to go down there and get in the studio with both of them and create a song of that nature."

"It was dope to get in with Rico because he has a gift for writing hooks that are relatable for everybody," K.R.I.T. added. "It doesn't matter where you're from and it doesn't matter who you are, you can relate to these hooks. When he sent that to me, I was like 'I got it' as far as the verses and it was just dope to be able to add a little bit of my edge and my southern twang to it."

New Orleans singer-songwriter Rico Love started off as a rapper but was encouraged to be a songwriter by Usher after he composed lyrics for his Confessions track "Throwback." Love continued to pen tunes for the "Yeah!" singer, including the Raymond Vs Raymond singles "There Goes My Baby" and "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)." Meanwhile requests for Love's compositions began coming from other artists and he went on to write and produce records for the likes of Beyoncé ("Sweet Dreams") and Keri Hilson ("Energy") .

In 2013 Love decided to set his sights on a solo career of his own and released his debut solo EP Discrete Luxury, which included the Hot 100 single "They Don't Know."
