Work

[Intro]
Yeah
Let me talk to y'all for a second

[Verse 1]
First off, let me say I have respect
For all the 9-5'ers that be slavin' for a check
I used to be that little motherfucker at Panera Bread
Washin' dirty dishes prayin' for another pair of legs

I was standin' eight hours at a time
With a nice hot shower on my mind, man that's all I wanted
I learned a lot workin' with a bunch of convicted felons
I'm talkin' real OGs that'll split your melon

But as time passed, we all got mad cool
They heard my first tape and said I was "that dude"
I still remember havin' minor problems at school
This big motherfucker followed me to work, went berserk

Butt hurt cause I shit on his whole rap crew
My co-workers said "he ain't gonna attack you, unless he tryin' to fade me"
And we could get it G
And if not, you should let it be, homie I work

[Hook (x2)]
They sayin' "yo, where the hell you been"?
I ain't seen you in a minute damn, now you got a Benz
Now you got a crib, shit how you get them ends?
Damn son, yo I thought that we was friends
Homie I work

[Verse 2]
In '07, me and Rai was workin' Patty's Pizza
About a year before I started slangin' bags of reefer
Yeah and we ain't know nothin' bout cookin'
So these dudes had to teach us and we wasn't really slackin' neither

In the beginnin', we was supposed to be deliverin'
But that fell through and I think it was deliberant
Yeah, probably cause we acted like some big clowns
Showin' up late and givin' everybody discounts

Man, I probably took a pizza home every night
I got some crazy shit, yeah I tried every type
I swear the place was losin' money, shit they had to
I was straight loungin' on my phone up in the bathroom

That's until this one chick went and snitched on us
Showed her true colors, turned into a bitch on us
But I ain't got no regrets, I had a lot of fun
Eatin' good and stackin' 'til our pockets numb
Homie I work

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
I was makin' dirty money for a while
Shit is wild, if I told you about the drama goin' down
But I'm proud to say I caught a break in 2008
Started workin' at the label, learned about the game

Yeah, I had braces at the time
So I know they wouldn't never take me serious as an artist
Instead I built relationships and stayed up on the grind
And armed myself with knowledge that I couldn't learn in college, uh

But I still went to school, I had that ambition
And when I graduated, boy I made that transition
Strictly music 'til I make it
And when I say "make it" I ain't stoppin' 'til the world see my damn vision

Come to life, I ain't one to quit
I never blame nobody else cause I ain't damn sure the one to bitch
So tell the haters they can suck a dick
I ain't gonna stop 'til we fuckin' rich
Homie I work
