[ Featuring Mike Mitch, Blank Face ]
Yea
High Grade
I'ma do the-
Yo one thing 'bout me
Yea
I'ma do the work
Even when I'm tired was trained to be a fighter
So even when I'm hurtin'
I'ma do the work
Boss want me fired recruiter want me hired
I'm still the same person
I'ma do the work
Leave the past behind me the future's where you'll find me
Cause one thing's for certain
I'ma do the work
The same ones that doubt me's the first ones to vouch me
Cause one thing about me
I'ma do the work
Cin't no alternatives the name of the game is survival
Gotta circle this underline it
Internalized since a youth how I been programmed
To view the world through to get through
Cabin pressure all the effort we invested in the grind compounding
Now we shinin' haters blind to the truth
We don't fault 'em tho
Barely see 'em that's a truth we want 'em all to know
We way too busy growin' from Johannesburg to Baltimore
They say what we been cookin' is impossible
But me I'm still a carnivore sorry to my vegans
Walkin' boldly in the light like sorry to my heathens
Praise the Lord in every season even when there ain't no reason
I was born and raised in hell still tho ain't no pessimist
Demonstrating excellence but I ain't no perfectionist
Conscious of my blemishes I use 'em as my lessons
Cnd they use me for they referrals and references cause
I been doin' the work
Even when I'm tired was trained to be a fighter
So even when I'm hurtin'
I'ma do the work
Boss want me fired recruiter want me hired
I'm still the same person
I'ma do the work
Leave the past behind me the future's where you'll find me
Cause one thing's for certain
I'ma do the work
The same ones that doubt me's the first ones to vouch me
Cause one thing about me
I'ma do the work
Can't get it done nobody care for excuses
I'm in my bag for certain when I clock and recoup it
Cnd you can see I'm in a different realm with the music
So I'll be foolish not to use it and lose it
That's in regards to my talent
So picture me without my ethic
C workaholic put in effort and it's always epic
I shine regardless through the darkness and my imperfections
I second guess sh- it's my essence still do first impressions
I put my best foot forward greatness heading toward
My brothers I'm on tour with
Cause all this work is workin' for me
Moments I'm unsure if I got reassurance
Find myself explorin' was it worth it things we warrant
If we look at where we come from and all the things that we did
From every hand that we get
We just made it work for us it's beautiful
I'd rather go to weddings than to funerals
Just hope you celebrate me through the work
Even when I'm tired was trained to be a fighter
So even when I'm hurtin'
I'ma do the work
Boss want me fired recruiter want me hired
I'm still the same person
I'ma do the work
Leave the past behind me the future's where you'll find me
Cause one thing's for certain
I'ma do the work
The same ones that doubt me's the first ones to vouch me
Cause one thing about me
I'ma do the work
