The Work

They gon wanna take you down
When they try
Take em out
If you built it from the ground
Build it higher than the doubt
Go and put me on the ticket
This gon turn into a bout
I got one thing on my mind
Climbing mountains all the time
No
You don't really know me
You get close and feel the grind
I dont do this for the cash
I will never walk the line
I keep something in the stash
Cause its kinda hard to find
People eating all that trash
Pledge allegiance to the swine wait
Tell me how you wake up in the morning with your head low
This is for the ones on the edge with the bread low
Low and trynna get back
Show you how you get back
Push it to the limit aint no glory for the timid
Yeah you wanna be a king
But you gotta do the work
They gon put you in the sky
They gon run you in the dirt
Fair-weather what you doing when the weather get worse
Till they ready my hearse
I'mma Show em my worth
This for when you in the hole
And they wanna count you out
Tell me tell me can you Reign when you standing in a drought
All my people in the back
Let me see what you about
When it counts
See the moment gotta hold it gotta pounce
Never doubt no
Everyday
Where I'm at?
Lifting boulders out the way
No complaints
I got extra in the tank
They cant hold me
All the obstacles before me light work
I had trouble seeing gold
Now I swear my sight work
Tunnel vision
Nothing mission but attention
Need no comment need no mention
Manifesting with intention
My perspective is a weapon
Gotta keep the mind sharp
Struggle strengthen my heart
Used to dangle us from trees
Feel the pain in my bark listen
This is for the 9-5 grind
Overnight shelve-stocker getting pennies for your time
If I'm going to hard
I will gladly pay the fine
Limitations waiting only in the mind
Yeah you wanna be a king
But you gotta do the work
They gon put you in the sky
They gon run you in the dirt
Fair-weather what you doing when the weather get worse
Till they ready my hearse
I'mma Show em my worth
This for when you in the hole
And they wanna count you out
Tell me tell me can you Reign when you standing in a drought
All my people in the back
Let me see what you about
When it counts
See the moment gotta hold it gotta pounce
Never doubt no

Look
Ain't no problem on my mind
I take orders from my soul
Put my chips in on the grind I go
Got some places Imma find
Nothing missing and I'm fine
Fastest way is in a line I know
Make no sense to wake up and not live
Make no sense to wake up and not go
Saw the end of the road and I win
Don't be all in my face when I blow
You don't know I got determination
Never heard of waiting
Couple quick moves and I'm learning patients I promise
I promise
You don't know I always been on it
Always been climbing finding new mountains
Killed how many beats fuck it who's counting
Let em all sleep , leave em all pouting
In it too deep my nigga recount it yea
This is the part where I come up
Uh This is the part where I come up
Yeah
Don't be surprised when I run up
I set the bar then I one up
Can a young nigga get paid
Can a young nigga get saved
body that zip it up aye
fuck it up flip it up pray
I don't catch one of them strays
None of that shit in my way
KG givem that fade
Shit start slippin away
Slip and get slayed
All that fit in the maze
Fall back christen a wave woah yeah
I been on one from the get go
put me in a box like Klitschko
Might not like how it go
It go ape shit 4 5 6 ohh
Ain't no problem on my mind
I take orders from my soul
Put my chips in on the grind I go
Got some places Imma find
Nothing missing and I'm fine
Fastest way is in a line I know
Make no sense to wake up and not live
Make no sense to wake up and not go
Saw the end of the road and I win
Don't be all in my face when I blow
I just hit the switch cause they need light
In between the lines if you read right
Never backspace never rewrite
Nothing added to it make my tea right
Gotta detox
Got a clean soul
Never gon die
Far as we know
I ain't getting lynched
This is beast mode
Like I'm from the bay
Welcome to the day
Where I come up
Gun powder I ain't never picked a gun up
I just spit clips pat pat like a drummer
Hit me all the time
What you doing for the summer
I'm just trynna live my nigga
Do it big
Like it really can't get no bigger
Can't drip no pitter patter
Get a ladder, Climb it
10 stories high and you still can't find me
Lazy boy living and a nigga still reclining
bout to hit the road but you know i'm from the island
Keep your contract no I think I'm not signing
Catch a contact from the dope I be rhyming
Whiling out yeah
Whiling out though
Kill it from the intro to the outro
If you love me let me hear you make a shout though
Either way I'm going in like a scalpel
Yah

To Be Great
03:25
|
|||
What does it take to be great
What does it take
Was it written in the stars is it fate
Or do you wait
Cause good things come to those who do
There's no debate
But I been plotting on seizing the day
I can't be late
Is it Thriller or hitting the game winner over Elo
Or what I project that others misconstrue as ego
I been feeling something brewing for sometime
Navigating through the lies but they cutting the truth like Benzino
Walking the tight rope
No net below
The more we're enslaved the less we know
So when you getting up tell me
Time to listen up
There's a calling to be great
Everyday when you get up
Are you focused on the goal or are you focused on the rut
There are people who control and never want to give you up so get up
I'm saying educate yourself how could you be so self righteous
And not care about your health
How could you act altruistic and just care about yourself
Take two steps to the right way
Take some good and make sure that good vibrates
All across the globe
The march to greatness and no its never getting old no
See I been waiting my whole damn life
For a sign I been looking at this whole thing right
Got me asking are we born great
Or does the cream rise
You know you made it when they look at you with green eyes
So look back look right back through em
5 Seconds on the clock and you know who's shooting
It's that be great, sleep, wake
Live, Die
All for the thing that you believe in no breaks
Keep going
Yeah yeah yeah
Said keep going
Remember when my pops worked just to keep the heat blowing
Then a needle made him leave and didn't say where he was going
So it's time to be a man
Where's my sisters, where my brother at
Listen, where we going we ain't coming back
No
Cause we done seen that low low
And we done felt some feelings that we'll never feel again
Type of shit to make your whole body shake like a snow globe
Thought they could just take you down
Show them its a no go
Tell them that you gone
Fuckers should've took a photo
I'm teaching to the no shows
The ones who saw the education system as a babysitter
Who starts the cycle of mis-info
Pollutants in the air steady coming at your lymph nodes
They trynna stop your greatness
Couldn't bare to see you oppose the order
Uphold the border
Between fear and great
See I been waiting my whole damn life
For a sign I been looking at this whole thing right
Got me asking are we born great
Or does the cream rise
You know you made it when they look at you with green eyes
So look back look right back through em
5 Seconds on the clock and you know who's shooting
It's that be great, sleep, wake
Live, Die
All for the thing that you believe in no breaks
Keep going
