[Intro: I] I remember how this sh** started man We wanted to make something of it and nobody knew about it outside of you me and like the people we were closest to It's been a road, and we've got a longer way to go But we'll get there for sure Bonsu [Verse 1: I] Working hard 9-5 in the summer yeah that was I With the sweat still on my back I went home and worked on tracks As pain ran through my leg I said it's all in your head Kept it all to myself and focused on making bread Until I was ahead of where I wanted to be And the only n***a that I owed something was only me Yo the only ones that built something was lowly we Low key laughing at the praise they got from sh** that's weak Knowing what we could we stayed quiet like nerds at school We were focused on the music but studied like nerds at school too
We couldn't let ourselves be those n***as they sell to Cause of the values we learnt from parents ourselves too So we went Cobb and built a lucid dream Made schemes and kept it all inside the team Went Rocky in the ring then onto Better Things When I saw that all of these n***as don't have the head on me [Hook: I] And suddenly I don't f** with n***as like I used to And suddenly I ain't chasing b**hes like I used to I wake up thinking bout this music like I choose to Dreaming lucid like I choose to In this world you only lose you Doing all the sh** that they never thought I could do With ambition they ain't used to We them n***as they ain't used [Outro: I] I put the work in it I I put the, I put the work in it I A n***a not shy no more I put the work in it I (I, I ,I)
