[Intro: Anthony Hamilton] Lords knows I work hard But I still gotta stay on my job 'Cause I ain't tryna get laid off Won't stop until the day that I'm a boss [Verse 1: August Alsina] I know somebody tired of a**isted livin' Wakin' every mornin' sayin', "I gotta get it" Focus on the paper can give you tunnel vision Drug dealin', stackin', flippin' just tryna make a livin' Baby shakin' on the pole just to make tuition Single mommas facin' drama so they can feed they children n***as strung out on that dope just 'cause they had a taste And n***as droppin' out of school on the paper chase Who am I to hate? I ain't judgin' 'cause I can relate Skippin' school, gettin' high, just tryna motivate Just tryna make it 'til I make it to them pearly gates Lost too many homies, can't face another wake Another loss, another cop, another mistake, nothin' stand in my way I went through a hurricane of pain and I'm standin' today And if you outchea on your grind, f** whoever hate Just pay attention and concentrate [Pre-Chorus: August Alsina] Yeah n***a, it's crunch time And I'm just tryna eat just like a kid at lunch time And if you thought it was joke, it ain't no punchline Ain't nothin' standin' in my way, I'm 'bout to get mine, it's hard work [Chorus: Anthony Hamilton] Lords knows I work hard But I still gotta stay on my job 'Cause I ain't tryna get laid off Won't stop 'til the day that I'm a boss, yo, it's hard work Lords knows I work hard But I still got to stay on my job And I ain't taking no days off Won't stop 'til the day it pays off, it's hard work, yeah [Verse 2: Jadakiss] Yeah, I'm speakin' real so you gon' believe me First of all, nobody said that it was gon' be easy And you don't see the pain, you just see what's on the TV When you don't let them keep the change, then they call you greedy Now they all on social media talkin' greezy Would get the guns but my sons and my daughters need me I get it off soon as it comes, make your order speedy I'm on a hell of a run, I thank the Lord completely I'm puttin' overtime in, so I'm sorta sleepy And I haven't slept in years, so that's sorta creepy Gotta beat me fair and square but you ain't gonna cheat me Carry the weight of the world on my shoulders weekly Blame the universe, that's how the stars work Yeah, play your hand that's how the cards work Nah, ain't nothin' planned, this is God's work Uh, we workin' hard 'cause it's hard work [Pre-Chorus: August Alsina] Yeah n***a, it's crunch time And I'm just tryna eat just like a kid at lunch time And if you thought it was joke, it ain't no punchline Ain't nothin' standin' in my way, I'm 'bout to get mine, it's hard work [Chorus: Anthony Hamilton & August Alsina] Lords knows I work hard But I still gotta stay on my job 'Cause I ain't tryna get laid off Won't stop 'til the day that I'm a boss, yo, it's hard work Lords knows I work hard But I still got to stay on my job And I ain't taking no days off Won't stop 'til the day it pays off, it's hard work, yeah [Outro: Anthony Hamilton] It's hard work, yeah It's hard, it's hard work, yeah It's hard work, yeah It's hard, it's hard work, yeah
