[Chorus]
They say I'm working too hard
But I'm tryna see my people eat, though
They say I'm stressin' too much
But I'm tryna see my people eat though
We on top
Ain't nobody comin' for our spot
They say I'm working too hard
But I'm tryna see my people eat though
[Verse 1]
He was really broke dawg
Couldn't pull up, skirt off in the rover
Wishing that the pain was really over
Before I die, I really need some closure
Triple overtime and this is just the start
Since a boy I always knew that I'd go far
Walk by faith 'cause it's get trippy in the dark
Yeah, it's right here
[Chorus]
They say I'm working too hard
But I'm tryna see my peoplе eat, though
They say I'm stressin' too much
But I'm tryna see my pеople eat though
We on top
Ain't nobody comin' for our spot
They say I'm working too hard
But I'm tryna see my people eat though
[Verse 2]
Used to dream 'bout Rovers
Used to dream 'bout Rolies [?]
Used to dream 'bout taking care of family when we were older, we were older
Make sure you keep 'em close 'cause of Covid
I got people riding with me till I hit the grave
I got family loving on me till I hit the gates
Tell my people they're okay
[Chorus]
They say I'm working too hard
But I'm tryna see my people eat, though
They say I'm stressin' too much
But I'm tryna see my people eat though
We on top
Ain't nobody comin' for our spot
They say I'm working too hard (Too hard, yeah)
But I'm tryna see my people eat though (Lead)
[Bridge]
Came from the gutter
Yeah, me and my brother
We hearin' the buzzer but we ain't gon' stop
I was hastin' to find
I was tryna get it
Promise my mama we comin' on top
Lucy be comin' from day to day
And I tell my demons to stay away
They say I'm working hard
We gotta eat, can't let 'em starve
I don't want nothing if I don't deserve it
I look up to heaven, can you tell me something?
Something, something
I know we gon' make it out (Make it out)
[Chorus]
They say I'm working too hard
But I'm tryna see my people eat though
They say I'm stressin' too much
But I'm tryna see my people eat though
We on top
Ain't nobody comin' for our spot
They say I'm working too hard
But I'm tryna see my people eat though
