L-Swift - “Puttin’ In Work (Demo Tape Version)”
[Emcee(s): L-Swift]
[Producer(s): Charlemagne]

[Intro (Overlapped with Hook 1): L-Swift]
Yeah, yeah. Uh, L-Swift is in the house. One time for your mind. Check it out. Putting in work, son. Yo, yo

[Hook 1 (Overlapped with Intro and Hook 2): Sample from 20th Century Steel Band - “Heaven and Hell Is on Earth”] (x2)
Children growing, women producing
Children growing, women producing
Children growing, women producing
Everyone’s got to make a living

[Hook 2 (Overlapped with Hook 1): L-Swift]
I’m putting in work. Yo, you know what I’m about
I’m doing my job without a doubt, yo
I’m putting in work. Yo, you know what I’m about
When I release flavor, I turn it out

[Verse 1: L-Swift]
While others
Choose to use the infantile flavors, I’ve developed the intellectual
Un-deflectable technical which makes you a spectacle
Styles are flexible like cartilage, but too many rappers
Choose the child flows, walk in a single-file row, but
On who should I blame it? Many become monotonous by
Kicking the same shit. L spit flavors to keep your brain lit
Every two months or so, a rapper comes out with anticipation
Of longevity, but the flavor runs out. If you had skills
You would have experimented with different flavors instead of
The simple shit. lyrics I kick can make your mental flip
While I sharpen up lyrics like a dull pencil tip, I do
Work in addition to the adrenaline, relax, and kick back
And then it’s time to pick up the pen again, son. I’ve been through
Too much shit to let you intercept my intellect. Who should I
Injure next when I’m putting in work? So hit the deck. I’m only
Down for my peoples, so the others I disrespect when

Children growing, women producing
Children growing, women producing
Children growing, women producing

[Hook 2 (Overlapped with Hook 1): L-Swift]
Yo, I’m putting in work. Yo, you know what I’m about
I’m doing my job without a doubt, son
I’m putting in work. Yo, you know what I’m about
I’m doing my job without a doubt, yo
See, I’m putting in work. Yo, you know what I’m about
I’m doing my job without a doubt, yo
I’m putting in work. Yo, you know what I’m about
Check the second verse as I turn it out

[Verse 2: L-Swift]
Let me
Elaborate on this: I make strongest weaken when I’m speaking
And freaking, teaching. The feeble-minded flows I kick will never
Leave my peoples blinded. Why? ‘Cause getting with me, you’re psycho
So manic. So many perpetrating hardcore, but L’s
The shit you have no guard for, meaning my flow’s intangible
Unable to be penetrated. My pen is hated by many
Guys clearly lack the way to drop this, but I rock shit when I
Concoct shit. I’m giving you a taste of my synopsis
As I capture you in my rapture, coming at ya with
Many factors, L is a verbal reactor, wack-emcee-subtractor
Flows are deadly yet beneficial, I do damage
At all times, whether with pen or pistol, I break niggas down like
Amino acids when deducting you, plus I eliminate
Your roughest crew, I speak really while you’re reluctant to
Basically, I’ve been thinking, and now it shows my mental’s excelling
I’m putting in work, and this is how it goes, so

Children growing, women producing
Children growing, women producing
Children growing, women producing

[Hook 2 (Overlapped with Hook 1): L-Swift]
Ayyo, I’m putting in work. Yo, you know what I’m about
I’m doing my job without a doubt, son
Uh, I’m putting in work. Yo, you know what I’m about
I’m doing my job without a doubt, yo
Yo, I’m putting in work. Yo, you know what I’m about
I’m doing my job without a doubt, yo
I’m putting in work. Yo, you know what I’m about
I’m doing my job without a doubt

[Verse 3: L-Swift]
I heard it’s
Said that if you cannot freestyle off the mentals, then
You’re an artificial rapper, but L be flipping scripts strictly with
Written shit, compounding all my thoughts before I hit you ‘cause
When I rip through your tissue, lyrics are the primary issue
No matter how you try, your flows are still wack—kill that. You call
My skills fat. I break down foundations no one can build back
L is not the one you wanna mess with, so don’t just test this. My
Skills are sharper than a dagger. If there’s a cutie
I bag her because the flows are hotter than magma, son
For you to take me out is a figment of your imagination
Don’t care what pigment ‘cause my thoughts are retaliation. Now
I’m kicking it with ferocity, increasing my velocity
Possibly, L has got to be the top emcee
And when I kick the flavor, the honeys be jocking me, yo

Yo, I’m putting in work. Yo, you know what I’m about
I got to do my job without a doubt, yo
I’m putting in work. Yo, you know what I’m about
I’m doing my job without a doubt, yo

Yo, I’m putting in work
