[Chorus: Alexi Blue]
I'm out here working all night, got me working overtime
Conversation with myself, keep shit lowkey in my mind, my mind
I'll always be two steps ahead but I work like I'm behind
Plant the seeds now, gonna grow a lifetime, lifetime
[Verse 1: Justin Starling, Alexi Blue & Justin Starling]
I know the struggle
My tears in a puddle
She trying to cuddle
I'm keeping it subtle
All of that talking, ain't get no rebuttal
I'm who they find if they looking for trouble
We take shots, make it a double
Daddy was flipping them rocks like barney and rubble
Yeah, trapping it out of the trunk
Smoking on skunk
Homie I'm drunk
Clock stay ticking
So the wrist stay flicking
Whеn I'm up in the kitchen, I'm working
Being bittеr won't get you that Birkin
That's one thing I know for certain
Living life and it feel so urgent
Sweet 16's what I'm serving
'Til they see me and I'm swerving
Something German
Been bossed up no servant, yeah
So determined
Even when the days getting dark
They would rather see me stuck in park
I'ma go and tear the game apart
Gotta keep moving stay focused
This your sign, you chosen
World so cold, heart frozen
Made a promise to myself
Can't be broken
[Chorus: Alexi Blue, Justin Starling, Both]
I'm out here working all night, got me working overtime, yeah
Conversation with myself, keep shit lowkey in my mind (ay, ay), my mind
I'll always be two steps ahead but I work like I'm behind
Plant the seeds now, gonna grow a lifetime, lifetime
(Let's go, lifetime, ay)
[Verse 2: Alexi Blue]
Everybody wants to rise, but you gotta pay that full price
Yeah, you got that same routine, I'll be bringing out the allspice
Got my sight set on lavish life, yuh
Climbing up toward the highest heights yeah
The ground is shifting and you know that it's me moving it
I earn it for myself, boy, I don't need a ring on it
Wanna buy mom a house, so I work
Know that I'll make dad proud, so I work
Working for me, set myself up, got my shit straight, yeah
Doubters gon' doubt, the haters gon' hate, don't care what they say, yeah
'Cause everybody wants to rise, but you gotta pay that full price
I'm grinding like pepper so I'll get ahead in this life, yeah
[Chorus: Alexi Blue, Justin Starling, Both]
I'm out here working all night, got me working overtime (Yeah)
Conversation with myself, keep shit lowkey in my mind, my mind (In my mind)
I'll always be two steps ahead but I work like I'm behind
Plant the seeds now, gonna grow a lifetime (lifetime, lifetime), lifetime
[Outro: Alexi Blue]
Lifetime
Lifetime (That Birkin, that's one thing I know for certain)
Clock stay ticking
So the wrist stay flicking
When I'm up in the kitchen, I'm working
That, that, ah
