Hook
G
I've been up all night, tryna get that rich
I've been work work work work working on my shit
Milked the whole game twice, gotta get it how I live
I've been work work work work working on my shit
Now get this work (x4)
Working on my shit
Verso 2
G
You can hate it or love it
Hustle and the struggle is the only thing I'm trusting
Thorough bread in a mud brick before the budget
White chick on that Pac shit
My passion was ironic
And my dreams were uncommon
Guess I gone crazy, first deal changed me
Robbed blind, basically raped me
Rose through the bullshit like a matador
Just made me madder and adamant to go at em
And even the score
So, I went harder
Studied the Carters till a deal was offered
Slept cold on the floor recording
At 4 in the morning
And now I'm passin' the bar like a lawyer
Immigrant, art ignorant
Ya ill intent was insurance for my benefit
Hate to be inconsiderate
But the Industry took my innocence
Too late, now I'm in this bitch!

Do anything for my Mama, I love you

One day I'll pay you back for the sacrifice

That ya managed to muscle
D G
Sixteen, you sent me through customs so
Em Bm
All aboard my spaceship to Mercury
D G
Turn First at the light that's in front me
Em
Cause every night I'mma do it like it's my last

This dream is all that I need
D
Cause its all that I ever had
Endding (2x)
G Em Bm D
Now get this work (x4)
Working on my shit...
