Dom Kennedy - Intro Hard Work lyrics

I used to sell clothes, now I sell dope They ask me can I rap for free and I just yell no! I'm trying to get paid, take it up the block Inglish got the ba**, I told him make it while it's hot Take the whole thing, break it down to rocks You don't need a bag let it stay up in your socks White socks fitted, I'm chilling on top A rookie in the game but I'm feeling like I'm not Life after d**h, feeling like I'm shot I'm bout to go dimin' from what's chilling in the pot Who need a hit? I got slick words This is not a movie but you can get served Don't want to be no star but I got big dreams Some n***as got jobs, but I got sixteens Trying to go legit, don't want to break laws I guess they was right, hard work be paying off And I tell 'em like [Hook:] 95 Air Max cause I'm a dope runner Balling like an athlete but got no jumper 95 Air Max cause I'm a dope runner Balling like an athlete but got no jumper Umbrellas up, my reign has begun Amongst all the legends, my name has become Shine so hard, playing in the sun My mind playing tricks is what we played when we was young Shoot the hot five is what when played when we was done When you snapped your fingers n***as say where they was from Cars pulling up, say where they was from Hopping out active homie take away your lunch Take away your dinner, take away your brunch Sizing up your chin so they can take away your fronts You was in the back, I was in the front Hit the polo racks, my n***as buy up what we want Get a nice fade, line up in the front If I'm in the club, there's a line up in the front Cocoanut juice, the lime up in the blunt In 2008 I pushed the rhymes up out the trunk I worked hard [Hook:] 95 Air Max cause I'm a dope runner Balling like an athlete but got no jumper 95 Air Max cause I'm a dope runner Balling like an athlete but got no jumper
