Work

Are you working?
What kind of work do you do?
Uhh...
(boy, what is it you want to do when you grow up? )
Aiyyo Im gonna be on ti-dop, thats all my eyes can see
Victory is mine, yeah surprisingly
Ive been laying, waiting for your next mistake
I put in work, and watch my status escalate
Now ima start collectin props, connectin plots
Networkin like a conference, cause the nonsense is yet to stop
Jakes shake me down, haters wanna take me down
Break me down, clap all they heard was the sound
Yo I scoped it out, I took your weak dream and choked it out
Your bitch dont really got no ass, she just poked it out
On the deelow, Im sayin, you versus me though?
We can do this shit right here, in front of your people
See time is money kid, and bs walks
And to me, its funny kid when you meet heads talk
I see feds stalk, they wanna dig up the dirt
Son is it me they hawk, cause I be puttin in work son?
Aiyyo Im gonna be on ti-dop, thats all my eyes can see
Victory is mine, yeah surprisingly
Ive been laying, waiting for your next mistake
I put in work, and watch my status escalate
You cornballs get stonewalled, blackballed I own yall
The veteran, runnin my plan Im the better man
Crazy raw, doin my job like the mob
Blazin yall, and disappearin in the fog
Or a mist, and chicks cant resist what I kick
They be beggin for attention or some more of the dillznick
Word up baby, someone may have to get hurt up baby
Shit is mad shady, but I got to get the gravy
Platinum respect like the force of a tech
Keep you hittin the deck, feelin heat in your chest
Bangin your thoughts with the hot onslaught
A kid got shot on the spot for goin where he should not
Viciously, I make history, instantly
Those other lame ass loser ass niggaz, they cant fuck with me
Im doin my thing now, to lamp later on
Paid in the shade, with some fly gators on
But now Im grimy as they get, mud on my pants and shirt
I bet you niggaz out here know, I be puttin in work
Aiyyo Im gonna be on ti-dop, thats all my eyes can see
Victory is mine, yeah surprisingly
Ive been laying, waiting for your next mistake
I put in work, and watch my status escalate
