Work

You may enter

You are not Akeem

I know that

What is this McDowell's?

A place over on Queens Boulevard

I think he works there

My son works?

Y'all know we live as kings, G

Feeling like Akeem out here

But that royalty don't stop us from working

All I had was a dollar and a dream

Wasn't looking for the fame, just a student of the game, no team

When I didn't have a deal, wasn't tryin' to pay the bills, my queen

Imani behind me, she was telling me to do my thing

Keep your eyes on the finish line

And the Lord will replenish, when it's time

So I'm looking at this pen of mine, feeling like

Spitting rhymes, killing mics like it's dinner time

Work, them long nights in that basement, they hurt

In my momma's house couldn't pay rent, but what's worse

Working for what's heaven sent

Or feeling like hell cuz you never did?

So yeah, my bank account countin' was low

I'm drowning but can't keep my countenance low

The ??? of them thousands that ??? counts as own

Belong to my Father so I'll never want

I'll never need, begging for bread won't be me

Cuz I am a seed, excuses are useless, tools that the fools pick

Only got one shot but it feels like a full clip

Work, so what I got to be afraid of?

Let's work, I'm here with the God of Isaac and Jacob

Let's work, His image is what I'm made from

Let's work, it's time to eat so pass me a plate bruh

Hungry, I'm on Esau level

Working till I'm coming up on Eshon level

Was down but I'm on coming up on seesaw level

Staying on page, playing no games, feel like I can beat all levels

Beats all special

Tell 'em that I'm coming up on each y'all level

Living like a king all level

I told God: Send me, I'm feeling Akeem's dog level

Everybody got an excuse

Find out what yours is and stop using it

Let's work

My son works? Where is he now?

I don't know

He moved downstairs
