Henry Lee Rudolph Jr. - Putting in Work lyrics

[Bridge] Where you been? (x4) [Chorus] Been a slave to the system And though I was sick I misdiagnosed the symptoms Been working for the man Who said he'd set me free Soon as I line his pockets with green So here I am (x2) [Verse I] Where you been 1/2-E? Where you going 1/2-E? Seen you acting now homie But you ain't looking happy We just concerned about your well being Ain't seen you tweeting so we figure That you gone ether And why'd you delete your social media? We needed ya My fam knows of sucide too So when we listened to you It gave us brave face among the cynical You spoke with courage From the same space I was going through Your musics a safe place, for us The miserable And I swear if you come back I'll be at every show Hoping you'd play "f** Me" See you ain't afraid to get ugly That's why you lose your mind sometimes Cause anybody would go crazy locking those demons inside So I send you this text In hopes for reply That it might inspire you to go write [Interlude] [Bridge] [Chorus] [Verse II] I've been avoiding this sea of misery This ocean is deceptive in seconds Your second guessing Everyone's loyalty And truthfully, I've been struggling on dry land Imagine that, Pirate gangs first mate A slave to the dollar bill Wants to escape the Suicide belt Without any sk**s See friends commit rape Betrayed by the state Since This is the Place This place is f**ing hell Families on d** But I'm on 'em too So whom I to judge? I slip away and hibernate Inside my apartment Waiting to clear my concious And though I've fought for this I'm still astonished you're rocking my nonsense And when you pop in this mixtape It'll make me feel great I'll ride shotgun as an accomplice You don't have to wait No, you don't have to wait You don't have to wait [Chorus]
