From the recording KINGS - THE SOUNDTRACK
Nothing great comes without putting in the blood sweat and WORK
Lyrics
Up and I get at 'em early
Rarely do I ever sleep in
I gotta clear my mind thoroughly
I can't let the laziness creep in
Can't let the voices telling me
To lay back and sleep get the best of me
I give this my all in every endeavor
Because I'm pursuing my destiny
And I'm all about that work, work
Whipping through the fast lane, skirt skirt
And I'm running until my lungs hurt
Till they put me in that dirt dirt
They wonder how I keep doing this
I don't let complacency ruin this
I don't waste time on the foolishness
Even if I'm not the coolest kid
Got the bars on lock like prison
But prison ain't part of my vision
Even if it is when I'm released though
Go beast mode spitting that heat bro
To the devil's scheme I'm lethal
Thank Jesus for the prequel
Plus he the sequel no equal
No cap, no rest I press
I be up in that spit heat mode
No cheat code
And I'm busting in the booth with the truth
Get ready as I reload
Chorus:
Early in the morning I (work, work)
In the afternoon I (work, work)
Even in the evening I (work, work)
All night (x4)
I am not trying to be famous
I am just trying to see greatness
I put in the time and the effort and energy
Mixed with the gift that I came with
Mix in the intention I aim with
Succeeding is more than survival
You're thinking my dopeness is limited
While I am proving that you're not my rival
Can't let 'em outwork me bro
Grind mode so I gotta find my flow
Sicker than influenza
Good fight contender
Good night pretenders
Imma give it to 'em quicker than a hiccup
They plastic sorta like a nip tuck
Do 'em like a bank in a stick up
In the back of a pickup
Can't hold on to it all that's silly
So I'm giving it away like red hot chili
I'm fishing for the ones that can't be caught
I'm working for the prize that can't be bought
I got a treasure no thief can steal from
Gotta do the work get the deal done
The workers are few but the harvest is plenty
I play my position and get many
Chorus
