[Intro]
(I got so sick)
I got so sick
[Chorus]
I got so sick of livin' like this, told myself, "Time to go get it," yeah
Yeah, told myself, "Time to go get it"
I got so sick of livin' like this, told myself, "Time to go get it," yeah
Yeah-yeah
[Post-Chorus]
I told myself I was gon' get it for me and my family
We done been through so much hurt and agony
When I stack, I promise I'll give back
Just watch me work, just watch me work
[Verse]
Apartment floor, it was cold as hell
All we had was rice and beans on the shelf
2014, I almost lost my health
Shoutout my pops, on God, he helped (Yeah)
Can't believe they doubted us, look at all the money that we touched
We done seen a lot of pesos in our day-ays
They just wanna stop us from sailin' away-ay
Ayy, ayy
These days, I see every battle as a blessin'
Gotta go harder, on my lil' ones, I can't be restin'
I gotta push through, these walls, I'ma break down
'Til my time is up, I wanna be great now
We had no options but we still made it possible
We did it honorable, fuck they hatin' for?
Why they wanna take away our shine?
They don't wanna work, they don't wanna grind
I told myself I was gon' get it for me and my family
For my family
For my family
[Chorus]
I-I-I got so sick of livin' like this, told myself, "Time to go get it," yeah
Yeah, told myself, "Time to go get it"
I got so sick of livin' like this, told myself, "Time to go get it," yeah
Yeah-yeah
[Post-Chorus]
I told myself I was gon' get it for me and my family
We done been through so much hurt and agony
When I stack, I promise I'll give back
Just watch me work, just watch me work
[Outro]
Watch me work for my family
Watch me work for my family
I love my family
