Focused

[Sampled Intro: Will Smith]
Where I excel is ridiculous! Sickening work ethic!
You know, while the other guy's sleeping, I'm working and while the other guy's eating, I'm working..

[Verse 1:]
I can't work no 9 to 5
Man, I gotta get it
The people are sleeping, I ain't even tired
Just up in this kitchen
I'm trying to make something to reach 'em
Your favorite's a lie
He don't live what he's spitting
But you still believe him, ain't really surprised
Don't it look so appealing, all that money and the women
Man, let me kill it
I've been patiently waiting
Been patiently waiting to catch 'em all slipping
I was sent by the Father
To leave the whole game in the fetal position
Man, I'm on a mission
Trying to point em to my God that is risen
Man, don't get it twisted
Just cause I'm a Christian
Don't mean I ain't spitting
The illest of writtens
It's in my bones
With every fiber of my being
I was destined to do this
A lot of them couldn't see it
I've always thought in the future
Already past the present
Cause you only as good as all your last successes
But that ain't the goal
Money will come and then it goes
I don't want the world if I'm just finna lose my soul
Allow me to be frank, they ain't talking about Nathan
So please don't engage me with that meaningless conversation
Boy, I'm focused

[Hook:]
They can't tell me
What I can't do
If God's on my side
Then I can't lose
If you in the way
Please get behind me
I'm just focused
Please don't mind me
Losing friends and I'm losing sleep
But they say your ends
Justify your means
So I'm just working
I'm just focused
I'm just focused

[Verse 2:]
Ain't no weapon formed against me
That'll ever prosper
They taking shots
But I ain't a ever been a drunk
I just kept my mouth shut
I been working on my craft
And I've been at this for some years
I promise this ain't what you want
I'm sick of being underestimated for my age
The penmanship is tangible
While I fill this page
I want you to feel the animosity
That's brewing up inside me
Somebody tell Bobby that Mitchell a problem
And finna catch another body
Man, I'm really outchea
Working twice as hard as these grown men
I'm totally unrecognizable to old friends
This for the ones that was claiming I couldn't do it
Who told me I can't survive
If I'm only chasing this music, ah!
I stopped caring for people's opinions of me
They told me I was stupid, they told me I was ugly
Allow me to be frank, you ain't talking about Nathan
So please don't engage me with that meaningless conversation
I'm focused

[Hook:]
They can't tell me
What I can't do
If God's on my side
Then I can't lose
If you in the way
Please get behind me
I'm just focused
Please don't mind me
Losing friends and I'm losing sleep
But they say your ends
Justify your means
So I'm just working
I'm just focused
I'm just focused
