Lyrics
0:00Lords knows I work hard
0:07But I still gotta stay on my job
0:14Cause I ain't tryna get laid off
0:21Won't stop until the day that I'm a boss
0:52I know somebody tired of assisted living
0:55Waking every morning saying I gotta get it
0:58Focus on the paper can give you tunnel vision
1:01Drug dealing stacking flipping just tryna make a living
1:05Baby shaking on the pole just to make tuition
1:08Single mommas facing drama so they can feed they children
1:12Niggas strung out on that d**e just cause they had a taste
1:15And niggas dropping out of school on the paper chase
1:18Who am I to hate I ain't judging cause I can relate
1:21Skipping school getting high just tryna motivate
1:25Tryna make it 'til I make it to them pearly gates
1:28Lost so many of my homies I can't face another wake
1:31Another lost another cop another mistake nothing standing in the way
1:36I went through a hurricane of pain and I'm standing today
1:40And if you outchea on your grind f**k whoever hate
1:43Just pay attention and concentrate
1:45Yeah niggas it's crunch time
1:47And I'm just tryna eat just like a kid at lunch time
1:51And if you thought it was joke it ain't no punchline
1:54Ain't nothing standing in my way I'm 'bout to get mine it's hard work
1:58Lords knows I work hard
2:01But I still gotta stay on my job
2:04Cause I ain't tryna get laid off
2:07Won't stop 'til the day that I'm a boss yo it's hard work
2:11Lords knows I work hard
2:14But I still got to stay on my job
2:17And I ain't taking no days off
2:20Won't stop 'til the day it pays off it's hard work yeah
2:27Yeah I'm speaking real so you gon' believe me
2:30First of all nobody said that it was gon' be easy
2:33And you don't see the pain you just see what's on the TV
2:36When you don't let them keep the change then they call you greedy
2:40Now they on social media talking greezy
2:43Would get the guns but my sons and my daughters need me
2:46I get it off soon as it comes make your order speedy
2:50I'm on a hell of a run I thank the lord completely
2:53I'm putting overtime in so I'm sorta sleepy
2:57And I haven't slept in years so that's sorta creepy
3:00Gotta beat me fair and square but you ain't gonna cheat me
3:03Carry the weight of the world on my shoulders weekly
3:06Blame the universe that's how the stars work
3:10Yeah play your hand that's how the cards work
3:13Nah ain't nothing planned this is god's work
3:17We working hard cause it's hard work
3:19It's crunch time
3:21And I'm just tryna eat just like a kid at lunch time
3:24And if you thought it was joke it ain't no punchline
3:27Ain't nothing standing in my way I'm 'bout to get mine it's hard work
3:31Lords knows I work hard
3:34But I still gotta stay on my job
3:37Cause I ain't tryna get laid off
3:40Won't stop 'til the day that I'm a boss yo it's hard work
3:45Lords knows I work hard
