lirik lagu august graves - work!

[verse 1]
from overnight to overnight, a n~gga still on his grind
my people need me in the day, so it’s alani and sprite
if chasing money’s been an evil, i don’t wanna be right
cuz if i don’t work the 48 this week, my budget is tight
it’s money. never been afraid to bleed for it
cuz it’s america ~ we’ve all been conditioned to have a need for it
squeeze through the system to find a financial rhythm
i don’t trust it if it feels like it’s given
so every minute, i’ve been living in resistance to the ways of a colonizer
my daddy say i spend my days like an eighty~fiver
the way i’m working at all times just to spend my dollars and my dimes on my worst desires
if i don’t make it, who gon’ make it? your silence’s compliance
work twenty~seven hour days as an act of defiance
a generator ~ what i touch gon’ be golden like midas
but it don’t happen ‘less i wake up expecting the violence

[hook]
gotta put in work, gotta put in work
go the extra mile, you know what it worth
wake up every day, just before the birds
if you see me in your city, better know i put in
work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work
work, work, work, work, work, every time, i put in
work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, every day, i hustle
[verse 2]
hardest working negro since nino brown and michael jackson
rolling like a stone, but i just can’t get satisfaction
scratching my hairy hands, it’s monetary attraction
i feel guilty as sin if i’m sitting around relaxing
what’s a hobby if that hobby doesn’t lead you to a check?
spend my money on the triple stripes, the pumas, and the check
every thursday, i just swipe my card, don’t even have to check
stop my funds, you’re getting checked. that’s a promise, not a threat
called my momma, she’s upset. i always call her with regret
because the commas never rest and i skip holiday events
my girl, she calm, but she resents that i respond to calls and texts
’bout overtime, i’m overstressed, but all these dollars i collect
go to the getaways, nikes in different colorways
and “just~because~i’m~thinking~of~you” presents every other day
been at the mercy of momentum for a lifetime
if life’s survival, i’ll be d~mned if i don’t grab mine

[hook]
gotta put in work, gotta put in work
go the extra mile, you know what it worth
wake up every day, just before the birds
if you see in your city, better know i put in
work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work
work, work, work, work, work, every time, i put in
work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, every day, i hustle
[verse 3]
i’m just addicted to my vision of digits, it’s set in stone
mr make it happen, madness turned stacks into money phones
know my muni long if hours and hours could build a home
persistence been in my bones, my wish is turn philanthropic
but profit turned me a villain with a jones for the bonus
ain’t n0body my jonas, cause back when a dollar would float us
ain’t n0body cared or was even aware, it’s like i noticed:
“n0body gon’ give you quotes until you meet all their quotas.”
they say your network is your net worth, so my g’s around me
sleeping soundly inside the city, cooking beats with the beef
around beef? it’s low simmering, bitterness bit the dust
it was trust that kept us solid when timing was running rough
i wouldn’t do for all my brothers what they won’t do for us
and we do everything in life, pretty much
building bucks like wes edens, we’ll be deceased when descendants are eating
just the preoccupying thought of the evening
or am i just a glutton for punishment? the b~tton for self~destruction
under thumb like the subjects of our democratic republic
am i dumb or in love with the dysfunctional gerbil running
i’ve been numbing my tongue when i’ve been inconveniently summoned
because somebody else chasing the green
and patience is waning in me
in ways i relate to the fiends
’cause they got a taste of the freedom
sitting in their grip, so they get it by any means
am i a victim of the greed, or do i american dream?
