A lot of listeners and Nevi fans have been drawn to this song for the perspective of an ‘everyman’ worker mentality on job sites with a nail and hammer in hand.

[Intro]
(Oliver Made This)
Ay, Yah, Ay
[Chorus]
I be in LA one day, next day back home with a nail and a hammer in my hand
Yeah I told momma wait cause the blessings gone rain
You just gotta' have faith that yo' boy gone win
Gotta show 'em what you made of
Ain't shit in this evil ass world gone fold or gone change us
Fuck 'em if they hate us
We done got it by our lonely
Fuck whatever they done told me
I'm just worried bout my business bout my paper
Aye aye aye
[Verse]
Cause these hoes too sentimental
I'm a dawg baby but you'll never fuck with someone better
If you want I could show you just a little piece of heaven
I been cooked, I been faded I was born up by the river
All the smoke in the air like my ex up in the kitchen
They say Nevi why you trippin'
If I tell 'em they won't get it
Ion tryna be a digit, just another analytic
I'm on my own with people around me
They been calling my name I don't respond
I think they better off without me
So maybe I just won't go home
[Chorus] x2
I be in LA one day, next day back home with a nail and a hammer in my hand
Yeah I told momma wait cause the blessings gone rain
You just gotta' have faith that yo boy gone win
Gotta show 'em what you made of
Ain't shit in this evil ass world gone fold or gone change us
Fuck 'em if they hate us
We done got it by our lonely
Fuck whatever they done told me
I'm just worried bout my business - (bout my paper)
I be in LA one day, next day back home with a nail and a hammer in my hand
Yeah I told momma wait cause the blessings gone rain
You just gotta' have faith that yo' boy gone win
Gotta show 'em what you made of
Ain't shit in this evil ass world gone fold or gone change us
Fuck 'em if they hate us
We done got it by our lonely
Fuck whatever they done told me
I'm just worried bout my business bout my paper
